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 Jan 13, 9:39 PM EST, 6 hours 4 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jan 13, 9:39 PM EST, 6 hours 4 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Taunton MA
939 PM EST Sat Jan 13 2018
.SYNOPSIS...
Arctic high pressure over the High Plains builds into New
England through Monday night, providing a return to colder than
normal temperatures. Low pressure may bring snow to the region
from Tuesday into Wednesday night followed by another burst of
cold weather Thursday through Saturday.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SUNDAY MORNING/...
935 pm update...
Strong high pressure to our west will allow very cold air to
continue to work into southern New England. Despite airmass not
being that cold at 850mb...shallow cold air will continue to
work into the region on NNW winds. Low temps by daybreak Sunday
will be in the single digits to mid teens. By daybreak...some
locations across interior southern New England may see 24 hour
temperature changes exceeding 50 degrees. Quite the change back
to winter.
Mainly clear skies overnight with the exception being the far
southeast New England coast...where some ocean effect clouds
will impact the region. SST to 925 mb temperature differential
not extreme...but NNW will be enough to generate some light
ocean effect snow showers and flurries mainly east of Hyannis
onto the outer-Cape. Any accums should be minimal...as activity
should be light and transient with perhaps some neighborhoods
picking up a coating.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM SUNDAY MORNING THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
415 PM update...
Sunday...
Colder than normal temps continue with arctic 1040 mb high pres over
NY state. 925 mb temps lower to -14C. This will only support highs
in the 20s with upper teens across the high terrain. A modest
northerly wind combined with this frigid temps will yield wind
chills in the single digits and teens. Mostly clear skies Sunday but
given the low Jan sun angle and arctic airmass will call it
ineffective sunshine.
Cape Cod and Nantucket may remain overcast given the moist NNE wind
across the region along with scattered ocean effect snow showers
continuing, but becoming more fragmented from diurnal heating
providing enough disruption to the low level circulation.
Sunday night...
Dry but frigid with arctic high pres anchored across New England.
Ridge axis across the interior and will provide ideal radiational
cooling. Thus leaned toward the colder MOS temps here with lows zero
to minus 5 across western MA. Not much of a wind chill here given
the light winds. Much of the region will see mins in the single
digits to about 10 degs in Boston and Providence urban areas to
teens along the south coast.
Not as cold here given NNE winds off the ocean. However this will
create lower wind chills and also ocean effect snow showers
spreading more onshore into Plymouth county and possible into Boston
and the north shore. Could be some minor accumulations including the
RT-3 corridor of Plymouth county. Will have to watch this going into
the Monday morning commute. Not a lot of snow but perhaps a coating
to an inch, enough for snow covered roads. Again will watch trends
on Hi Res models. May not be enough for a winter weather advisory
but perhaps a Special Weather Statement to increase Public Awareness
on some slippery travel Sun night into Mon morning.
&&
.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
Big Picture...
Longwave pattern through next Friday shows trough over the Eastern
USA and a ridge over the Western USA. This trends to a flatter flow
by next Saturday.
Shortwave pattern shows a shortwave over the Canadian Arctic
sweeping south this weekend and then digging over the Great Lakes.
This trough then sweeps east, crossing New England midweek. Quieter
flow for Friday-Saturday with building heights.
Model mass fields are similar through Tuesday, but continue to show
differences in the evolution of the eastern trough Wednesday-
Thursday. The GFS and GGEM are more progressive with the trough, the
ECMWF holds it closer to the coast. The GFS and ECMWF both develop
secondary lows late Wednesday, but the GFS and 12Z ECMWF carry it
well offshore while the 00Z ECMWF kept it close to the coast.
Ensemble runs show solutions in between. The variations between
models and between model runs do not generate confidence. We remain
agnostic between the two opposing solutions at this time.
Confidence in the forecast remains high through Tuesday night, then
low Wednesday-Thursday and moderate Friday-Saturday.
Details...
Monday...
Two weather systems...high pressure centered north of Maine and a
storm well out to sea. These will combine to bring a northeast
surface flow over Southern New England. Surface wind speeds of 10-15
knots and moisture below 850 mb suggest ocean effect clouds and
scattered snow showers moving ashore over Cape Cod and much of east
coastal MA. An inch of snow possible in the more significant
snow showers. Clouds may extend to RI and Central Mass.
Ridging from the high extends over Southern New England and shows a
cold-air damming signal. So temperatures remain cold with 950 mb
temps supporting max sfc temps mainly in the 20s and low 30s.
Clouds and a light flow will keep temps a little less cold that the
previous night. Based on forecast dew points, we well go with min
temps in the teens inland and 20s along the coast.
Tuesday-Wednesday-Thursday...
Low pressure from the Canadian Arctic will sweep south to the Great
Lakes Monday, then turn east and cross New England. This system will
draw on precip water values on the high side of normal but not by
much. Expect temperatures would suggest light snow. QPF of roughly
0.25 inches is possible, which would support a few inches snow. An
advisory may eventually be needed for this event.
As noted above, the ECMWF agrees with consensus on bringing this
first system through on Tuesday-early Wednesday. The 00Z ECMWF has a
slower-moving upper trough which places the supporting upper jet
along the East Coast during Wednesday with a favorable left exit
region of one jet segment over the Carolina coast. This develops a
coastal low that moves up the coast and then near the 40N/70W
benchmark Wednesday night. The GFS and 12Z ECMWF show similar
cyclogenesis, but much farther east of North Carolina...near 70W
longitude...and track the storm too far offshore to bring any pcpn
to Southern New England except possibly Cape/Islands. The 00Z ECMWF
scenario would bring a second burst of pcpn late Wednesday/Wednesday
night ending Thursday morning with additional snow accumulation
possible. The GFS/12Z ECMWF scenario would mean dry weather late
Wednesday through Thursday. We are not confident on either solution
at this time, but will keep our options open by mentioning pops
through Wednesday night.
Friday-Saturday...
High pressure over the Southern USA builds north and brings dry
weather to Southern New England. A weak shortwave races across
during this time and could bring a period of clouds but no
precipitation. Temperatures at all levels trend warmer with
potential for above normal max temps and min temps during this time.
&&
.AVIATION /03Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
Forecaster Confidence Levels...
Low - less than 30 percent.
Moderate - 30 to 60 percent.
High - greater than 60 percent.
Short Term /through Sunday Night/...
Tonight... High confidence.
VFR and dry weather with N winds 10-20 kt, highest
winds over Cape Cod and Islands. One cloud deck moves over the
Cape and Islands early tonight, with clearing by midnight. More
clouds will develop over Massachusetts Bay as cold air flows in.
This will generate more clouds with MVFR cigs, which will move
into Cape Cod and Islands either late tonight or Sunday morning.
Scattered ocean effect snow showers may be associated with these
late clouds and may produce 3-4 mile vsbys.
Sunday...high confidence.
VFR and dry weather except MVFR in scattered snow showers over
Cape Cod and Nantucket. Modest north winds 10-20 kt.
Sunday night...moderate confidence. Some uncertainty on timing
and areal coverage of MVFR conditions.
MVFR in scattered snow showers continues over Cape Cod and
Nantucket. However as winds shift from N to NE these MVFR
conditions spread westward into eastern MA toward daybreak Mon.
KBOS Terminal...High confidence in TAF thru Sunday then some
uncertainty if snow showers make it westward into Logan Sun ngt.
KBDL Terminal...High confidence in TAF.
Outlook /Monday through Thursday/...
Martin Luther King Jr Day: Mainly VFR, with local IFR possible
in Eastern Massachusetts. Breezy. Chance SHSN.
Monday Night: Mainly VFR, with local IFR possible in Eastern
Massachusetts.
Tuesday through Tuesday Night: MVFR/IFR conditions possible.
Chance SN.
Wednesday and Wednesday Night: MVFR/IFR conditions possible,
improving to VFR during Wednesday night. Breezy. Chance SN.
Thursday: VFR. Breezy.
