Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Taunton MA
1013 PM EST Mon Jan 1 2018

.SYNOPSIS...
Bitter cold weather will continue into Tuesday with some moderation
Wednesday into Thursday. A significant coastal storm will likely
bring accumulating snow late Wednesday night into Thursday
night. How much snow will fall is dependent on how close the
system tracks to New England. Another blast of arctic air will
follow for Friday into next weekend.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM TUESDAY MORNING/...
Satellite imagery shows mainly clear skies over Southern New
England. Upper shortwave is sweeping over New England with 500
mb temps of -40C to -42C and should move east of the region by
morning. Model guidence also shows increased clouds/moisture
around 850 mb, but satellite images show just lake-effect clouds
upstream, with the clouds dissipating as they enter New England.
Satellite also shows ocean effect clouds offshore.

Expect mainly clear skies overnight. Leftovers from the lake
effect clouds in New York may hold together enough to bring some
increased sky cover over the Berkshires and across the eastern
slopes.

Winds should remain as they are through the night, which with
cooling temperatures will allow wind chills around -15F in
Western and Central Mass. Early night temperatures in this area
were running 2-4F colder than planned, so we have adjusted min
temps lower 2-3F and expanded the Wind chill Advisory to cover
Western Middlesex County/Worcester County/points west.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
High pressure builds across Ohio Valley and mid Atlantic states
Tue and Tue night, putting SNE in more of a W/SW flow. Mixing
layer deepens enough to support some 20-25 mph gusts during day
Tue, especially near coast. We should also see some mid level
clouds from time to time before weak short wave heads offshore
Tue evening.

Highs Tue should reach well into teens if not lower 20s near
south coast, Cape Cod, and Islands but wind chills should fall
to between 5 below zero and 5 above. Temperatures drop back into
the single numbers and lower teens Tue night.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
Highlights...

* Moderating temps Wed into Thu
* Significant snowfall possible late Wed night into Thu
* Another arctic blast will push across the region Fri into next
  weekend

Overview...

12Z models and ensembles continue to signal arctic cold
continuing across the region through Tue night. The arctic
blast briefly retreats into eastern Canada, bringing a round of
moderating temperatures at mid week as mid level flow shifts to
W-SW as another digging high amplitude H5 trough pushes down the
Mississippi Valley.

Noting that most of the model suite starts to negatively tilt
this trough around the Carolina coast late Wed night into Thu.
This will allow low pres to develop Wed night and deepen rapidly
as it tracks across western Atlc during Thu. Big questions at
this point will be the ultimate track of this low and how strong
it will be. Oh, and of course, the potential of significant
snows across portions of the region.

As the low pushes to the Maritimes Thu night, will see another
shot of even colder arctic air work S into the region for late
this week into the weekend. High pressure will build across this
weekend, then may see another brief moderating trend as low
pressure may pass N of the region next Monday. Timing and track
of this system is in question, however.

Details...

Wednesday...

High pressure passes S of New England while weak system moves
into the Great Lakes. Clouds may start to increase from S-N as
winds shift to light S-SW. This will bring readings up around 10
degrees from Tuesday's temps with highs mainly in the 20s,
except 30-35 along the S coast, Cape Cod and the islands.

Wednesday night and Thursday...

12Z guidance continues to signal explosive cyclogenesis as it
pushes NE during this timeframe. Still model solution spread in
how deep this low becomes as well as its track up the coast.
Models are deepening this system down to possibly a sub-960 hPa
low as it passes during Thu. With a system this deep, it will
have an expansive circulation so will likely see strong N-NE
winds and the possibility of plowable snow across portions of
the region. May also see a snow/rain or even changeover to rain
across Cape Cod and the islands as milder air wraps around the
low.

Another issue will be astronomical high tides which are
occurring this week. So, depending upon the position of the low
and the wind strength, could see some issues along the coast
during high tide which will occur around the midday to mid
afternoon Thu and possibly Fri.

Have carried CAT POPs across E Mass into RI on Thu with likely
POPs across the remainder of the region. It does appear that
some snow will fall, just how much and where the heavier snow
will fall is still in question.

Friday into Sunday...

Will see another arctic blast will push across the region
Friday as H5 cold pool works across northern New England and
keeps the cold flow across the region through the weekend. Have
a decent shot of setting several low maximum temps for Friday as
the heart of the arctic air works across. Will see H85 temps
drop to -23C to -26C through at least Sat night.

Will also see dangerously low wind chill values mainly across
the interior and higher terrain early Fri morning with gusty NW
winds and, even though winds will be somewhat lighter Sat night,
the coldest air will moves across and even lower wind chills
are forecast.

Monday...

Low pressure across the Great Lakes and Ohio Valley is forecast
to slowly move E. Some precipitation may work eastward toward
the region sometime on Monday along with some milder air, but
timing and track are in question.

&&

.MARINE...
Forecaster Confidence Levels...

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

Short Term /through Tuesday Night/...

No changes to the forecast. Winds at Logan Airport are below 25
knots, so we will allow the Small Craft Advisory for Boston
Harbor to expire. Continue all other headlines.

Previous discussion...

* Dangerous icing from freezing spray through Tue morning *

Observations from coastal buoys continue to indicate areas of
moderate to heavy icing from freezing spray. These conditions
are expected to persist through Tue morning with water
temperatures in the 30s, seas at or above 3 feet, and gusty
northwest winds. We are keeping Heavy Freezing Spray Warnings
posted for most of the coastal waters. Freezing spray should
diminish somewhat Tuesday afternoon and night, so Freezing
Spray Advisories may be needed once the Warnings expire.

NW winds will diminish near shore tonight but will continue to
gust to 25 kt farther offshore. W winds increase again Tue on
most of waters before subsiding Tue night. Small Craft
Advisories are in effect for most of waters.

Bands of ocean effect snow showers near the outer Cape and over
the outer waters will continue through early tonight before
gradually diminishing. Visibility below 1 NM can be expected
locally.

Outlook /Wednesday through Saturday/...

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

Wednesday Night: Low risk for Small Craft Advisory winds with
gusts up to 30 kt. Seas locally approaching 5 ft. Snow likely,
chance of rain. Areas of visibility 1 to 3 nm.

Thursday: Moderate risk for gale force winds with gusts up to
45 kt. Rough seas up to 21 ft. Snow, rain. Visibility 1 to
3 nm.

Thursday Night: Moderate risk for gale force winds with gusts
up to 45 kt. Rough seas up to 23 ft. Snow likely. Visibility
1 to 3 nm.

Friday: Moderate risk for gale force winds with gusts up to
35 kt. Rough seas up to 15 ft. Slight chance of snow showers.
Visibility 1 to 3 nm.

Friday Night: Moderate risk for gale force winds with gusts up
to 35 kt. Rough seas up to 14 ft. Slight chance of snow
showers. Visibility 1 to 3 nm.

Saturday: Moderate risk for gale force winds with gusts up to
35 kt. Rough seas up to 11 ft. Slight chance of snow showers.
Areas of visibility 1 to 3 nm.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
We are nearing astronomical high tides this week where several
high tide cycles along E MA coast are at or just above 12 feet.
Since the prevailing wind flow will be from the NW, we are not
overly concerned with coastal flooding Tuesday and Wednesday,
although there could certainly be some very minor nuisance
flooding in typical low lying areas.

On Thursday, there is the potential for minor to moderate
coastal flooding along east and north facing shorelines with the
midday high tide cycle. Storm surge is largely dependent on the
timing of the strongest onshore winds, and whether or not the
highest surge coincides with high tide. For now we are thinking
about a 2-3 foot storm surge but that could easily change with
later forecasts.

&&

.CLIMATE...
With an extended period of frigid temperatures, there is the
potential for record cold again next weekend.
