What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this small craft advisory went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Boston/Norton, MA wrote its last area forecast discussion before this small craft advisory went out at Mar 9, 3:03 AM EST, 28 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Mar 9, 3:03 AM EST, 28 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Taunton MA
303 AM EST Fri Mar 9 2018

.SYNOPSIS...
A reinforcing surge of cool air will arrive this afternoon,
which could trigger scattered snow squalls. Mainly dry but
blustery and cool conditions will follow into this weekend.
Near- seasonable and dry for Sunday prior to a potential potent
snow storm early next week, followed by a slightly cooler, drier
late week pattern.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...

Closed upper low over northern New England will maintain a west
to northwest flow across our region. As the core of an anomalous
cold pool passes by later today, both low and mid level lapse
rates will become steep. Expecting sufficient moisture to result
in some snow or rain showers, especially from mid morning into
early evening. With the west winds, the favored areas would be
around the Berkshires and the Worcester hills, were there will
be enhanced orographic lift.

Still a difficult task to narrow down exactly where snow
showers, or even squalls, will form. As such, kept precipitation
chances general, with with enhanced values along the western
slopes of the higher terrain features. Some of these showers
could be briefly intense, producing poor visibility quickly. Not
expecting much accumulation, generally an inch or less, as these
showers should be transitory.

Otherwise, expecting below normal temperatures.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM SATURDAY/...

Any evening snow squalls/showers come to an end and give way to
dry but blustery and chilly conditions as low pres intensifies
over the Maritimes. Unfortunately for those without power,
another night with lows in the 20s.

Drier weather Saturday with near normal temperatures. Gusty west
winds, especially late morning into the afternoon.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...

*/ Highlights...

 - Potential skirting offshore snow storm early next week
 - Possible cooler, drier late week pattern

*/ Overview...

Continued La Nina influence over the N Pacific. Variable Pacific jet
however preferred H5 ridging lending to downstream trof-ridge-trof
pattern across the CONUS (Rossby wave train). The NE CONUS beneath
preferred H5 troughing, an active, stormy pattern maintains for the
mid-March period. This as the NAO relaxes, lessening block over the
N Atlantic, W to E zonal pattern evolving. But some indication that
the Rossby wave train shifts subtly E towards late March putting us
on the cooler, drier side of storm development up against H5 ridging
building in from the W, reflected in the latest 6-10 / 8-14 day CPC
temperature outlooks. Lower confidence forecast further out in time.
it targets of opportunity below.

*/ Discussion...

Beginning Sunday night into early next week...

Ejecting Mid-Atlantic surface low, its later morphology dependent on
one particular factor of importance: upstream H5 ridge magnitude and
amplification, how far S does it shear mid-level energy, along with
the promotion of a 310K surface PV-streamer and accompanying Arctic
air noted at H85-5, cold air advection proceeding. But the Atlantic
is wide open, weaker block regressing N. It's a question whether the
N-stream PV streamer and mid-level energy is able to tap into the S-
stream impulse / Mid-Atlantic surface low. If the N-stream is faster
then the cyclonic dig through the preferred H5 trof across the NE
CONUS would certainly pull the S-stream and thermal wind axis closer
to the coast beneath lowering heights, increased baroclinicity and
cyclogenesis. However if the S-stream is allowed to escape, the N-
stream slower, then expect a flat-feature out to sea with little if
any impact to the NE CONUS other than snow shower activity as the N-
stream disturbance and closed off H5 low cyclonically rotate over-
head acting upon available moisture.

Model analysis: EC more pronounced, deeper with N-stream features
and thermal intrusion of colder air over the GFS which exhibits a
more marginal low-mid level profile per warm conveyor belt motions.
EC further S with S-stream features, discrete, allowed to escape, N-
stream acting as a kicker. Surface to low-level features, 09.0z EC
stronger over preceding solutions while the GFS is furthest W with
pull-back of low-level features beneath the preferred H5 trof. In
all, it would seem the GFS connects and blossoms whereas all other
guidance suggests features move through fast and far enough S to
scrape us by, the storm maturation and later occlusion further down-
stream with the absence of a block.

Per a consensus of all available forecast guidance, surface low is
progged to pass outside but close to the 40N/70W benchmark. Storm
scraping by with over-running snows, coastal mix. At minimum ocean-
effect outcomes given responsive NE wind field with the passing low.

Will hold with chance PoPs, not leaning with a complete miss. Some
timing issues noted between the UKmet / Canadian / EC / GFS, will
keep a broad forecast, holding the surface low just outside of the
40N / 70W benchmark around Monday night. If any outcomes, all snow
with coastal rain / snow. Blustery NE winds.

.AVIATION /08Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
Forecaster Confidence Levels...

Low - less than 30 percent.
Moderate - 30 to 60 percent.
High - greater than 60 percent.

Short Term /through Saturday/...

Today...

VFR to start. Scattered snow showers with MVFR conditions at
times with brief duration. A few of the snow showers/squalls may
briefly come down to IFR 18z-00z from west to east. The more
intense snow squalls may deliver a quick 0.5 to 1.0 inches in
just 30 mins.

Tonight...

Low risk of leftover MVFR scattered snow showers at 00z across
RI and eastern MA, but trending toward VFR and dry conditions.
NW winds increase 20-25 kt with strongest wind over Cape Cod and
Islands.

Saturday...High confidence VFR.

KBOS Terminal...High confidence in overall TAF. Lower confidence
in snow showers impacting the terminal. Greatest risk will be
late morning into this evening.

KBDL Terminal...High confidence in overall TAF. Lower confidence
in snow showers impacting the terminal. Greatest risk will be
mid morning into this evening.

Outlook /Saturday Night through Tuesday/...

Saturday Night through Sunday: VFR. Breezy.

Sunday Night: VFR. Breezy. Chance SN.

Monday: Mainly VFR, with areas MVFR possible. Windy with local
gusts to 30 kt. Chance SN.

Monday Night: Mainly VFR, with areas MVFR possible. Windy with
gusts to 30 kt. Chance SN.

Tuesday: Mainly VFR, with local MVFR possible. Breezy. Chance

Forecaster Confidence Levels...

Low - less than 30 percent.
Moderate - 30 to 60 percent.
High - greater than 60 percent.

Short Term /through Saturday/...High confidence.

Rough seas expected to linger across the outer coastal waters
through Saturday. Steep low level lapse rates will lead to
strong wind gusts over the waters. marginal risk for some gusts
to gale force. Will continue with Small Craft Advisories for
this moment, but giving more consideration to Gale Warnings late
today into this evening across the southern outer coastal
waters.

Outlook /Saturday Night through Tuesday/...

Saturday Night: Moderate risk for Small Craft Advisory winds
with gusts up to 30 kt. Local rough seas.

Sunday: Winds less than 25 kt. Seas locally approaching 5 ft.

Sunday Night: Winds less than 25 kt. Seas locally approaching
5 ft. Chance of snow, slight chance of rain.

Monday: Moderate risk for Small Craft Advisory winds with gusts
up to 30 kt. Rough seas up to 14 ft. Chance of rain, chance of
snow.

Monday Night: Low risk for gale force winds with gusts up to
35 kt. Rough seas up to 18 ft. Chance of snow, chance of rain.

Tuesday: Low risk for Small Craft Advisory winds with gusts up
to 30 kt. Rough seas up to 18 ft. Chance of snow, slight chance
of rain.

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
Astronomical high tides are quite low for early next week. Thus,
even if the storm center should pass closer to the coast than
currently indicated, it would take more than a 3.5 or 4 foot
storm surge to produce coastal flooding.
