Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Boston/Norton MA
350 AM EST Wed Nov 21 2018

.SYNOPSIS...

An arctic cold front may bring a few snow showers/squalls late this
afternoon into this evening, followed by record cold and bitter cold
wind chills tonight into Thanksgiving. High pressure moving off the
coast will allow temperatures to moderate some on Friday and
particularly on Saturday. Dry weather should prevail most of the day
Saturday but a fast moving low pressure system will bring a period
of rain Saturday night with a low risk it may begin as some ice
across portions of the interior. The rain may linger into the first
part of Sunday before coming to an end. A potentially stronger low
pressure system may bring more unsettled weather by Monday and/or
Tuesday.

&&

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

On the heels of the low pressure system that brought us
yesterday's rain and snow exiting to the northeast, we're ever
so briefly under the influence of some high pressure ridging
extending from the surface high over the southeast U.S.
Satellite imagery this morning shows mostly clear skies, though
upstream we see clouds associated with mid and upper level
moisture that will bring increasing cloud cover from the
northwest today. Freezing temperatures that brought a black ice
risk overnight will warm above freezing by early to mid morning
for most locations, topping out in the low 40s (30s in higher
elevations). This comes ahead of our next strong frontal system,
an arctic cold front associated with the low pressure system
currently north of the Great Lakes. As this relatively weak low
tracks east along the U.S/Canada border it will cross northern
New England this afternoon/evening, dragging with it our arctic
front. We'll see gusty winds increasing through the day as the
pressure gradient tightens and a robust LLJ moves over. With
good mixing behind the front one hazard will be brief stronger
winds in the wake of the front up to 35-45 mph. Current timing
of the front would be from west to east between about 2 PM and 7
PM. We'll see a chance for scattered snow showers along and
ahead of the front, but the main threat from this front will be
potential for some localized but strong snow squalls. Model
soundings show marginally good low level lapse rates and plenty
of moisture in the lowest levels of the atmosphere, though the
best forcing and steepest lapse rates of 7-8 C/km remain over
northern New England. Thus, the best chance for strong snow
squalls lies to our north, but will still be possible for us,
especially over northwest MA, the closest proximity to the more
favorable environment. These squalls would have the potential to
drop quick bursts of heavy snow along with gusty winds,
dropping visibilities on area highways during one of the busiest
travel days of the year. Motorists are encouraged to avoid
driving through these if encountered.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...

Behind the front temperatures plummet under northwest wind,
as a strong surface high pressure over the Great Lakes region
moves toward SNE. It will be an very anomalous air mass with
H85 temps around -20C. This translates to low temperatures at
the surface in single digits for central and western MA with
teens elsewhere. Additionally, gusty winds will mean even colder
wind chill values in the single digits and even below zero. For
this reason a Wind Chill Advisory has been issued for the east
slopes of the Berkshires Thursday morning where wind chill
values will drop to -15 F. Most of the region will be dry, with
one possible exception being the outer Cape where we may see
some ocean effect snow showers. The combination of arctic air
temps and relatively warm SSTs in late Nov will generate
impressive instability. Much of the snow would likely form
offshore, but there is a chance for some showers over land given
the favorable NW wind trajectory and temperature profile.

Thursday will be a very cold and blustery Thanksgiving
indicated by a striking pressure rise/fall couplet and strong
LLJ. Given the good CAA we'll be well mixed and model soundings
show that LLJ being mixed down to the surface keeping winds gusty
all day. Meanwhile high temperatures won't make it out of the
teens and 20s. Potential for ocean affect snow continues on
Thursday, especially for areas east of HYA late in the
day/overnight as winds become more northerly.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...

Highlights...

* Record low temperatures possible Thanksgiving night/early Fri am

* Ocean effect snow showers/flurries may clip outer-Cape into Fri am

* Dry Fri into part of Sat with moderating temperatures

* Period of rain Sat night perhaps lingering into part of Sun with a
  low risk it may begin as a period of ice across the interior

* Another round of unsettled weather likely Mon and/or Tue with odds
  favoring ptype mainly rain but that is not set in stone

Details...

Thanksgiving night...

Arctic high pressure will build into the region from the west.  This
will allow winds to gradually diminish and with highly anomalous
cold airmass in place...an incredibly cold night is in store for the
region for this time of year.  Given the diminishing winds/mainly
clear skies this will be the night for the radiator sites to be much
colder than some of the urban centers.  Expect most of the outlying
locations to see low temperatures bottom out in the single
digits...with perhaps even some below zero readings in the normally
coldest spots of western MA. The urban heat islands of downtown
Boston/Providence will see overnight low temps in the lower to
middle teens.  Record low temperatures may be set at some of our
sites.

Dry weather and mainly clear skies are anticipated for Thanksgiving
night.  The exception will mainly be the outer-half of Cape
Cod...where the highly anomalous airmass will result in an extreme
850 to SST differential of 30C.  Northwest wind trajectories and dry
low level air will limit potential...but given the extreme nature
of the airmass and over 1000 J/KG of ocean induced Cape will
probably see some ocean effect snow showers/flurries.  A coating to
1 inch of snow is certainly possible across portions of the outer-
Cape with even the low risk of localized 2 inch amounts.

Friday into Saturday afternoon...

High pressure will move east of the region along with some upper
level ridging moving in from the west.  The result will be in dry
weather continuing but moderating temperatures Fri and especially
by Saturday afternoon.

High temperatures on Friday should recover into the upper 20s to the
lower 30s...which is still well below normal for this time of year.
However...a big improvement from Thanksgiving Day and much less
wind.  While clouds will be on the increase during the day Saturday
ahead of a wave of low pressure...dry weather should prevail most of
the day.  Milder air should continue to work into the region ahead
of a shortwave trough...allowing many locations to see highs recover
well into the 40s.

Saturday night into Sunday...

A fast moving wave of low pressure should bring a period of mainly
rain to southern New England Saturday night...perhaps lingering into
the first part of Sunday.  However...the system looks fairly
progressive so dry weather may dominate by Sunday afternoon/night.
Ptype should mainly be rain given lack of Canadian high pressure and
current thermal profiles.  Still we will need to watch for at least
the low risk for a period of ice across the interior at the
onset...dependent on how cold the boundary layer is at that start.

Monday and Tuesday...

Appears another low pressure system...perhaps an intensifying storm
will impact the region sometime Mon into Tue.  Appears a fairly
stout -NAO will be in place...but the antecedent airmass will not be
that cold.  Therefore...odds favor this being mainly a rain event.
However...if we can get rapid intensification off the coast can not
rule out some wintry weather getting involved.  Too early to say
much more other than it looks unsettled.

...A FEW VERY LOCALIZED SNOW SQUALLS ARE POSSIBLE BETWEEN 3 AND 8
PM THIS EVENING...

Patches of black ice may continue to result in slippery spots
early this morning...so motorists are urged to drive with extra
caution.

The main concern will turn to the potential for a few snow squalls
across southern New England roughly between 3 and 8 pm this
evening. The greatest threat will be along the east slopes of the
Berkshires...but very localized snow squalls are possible across
the entire region. Any snow squall that is able to develop will
bring the potential for very brief heavy snow, whiteout
conditions, strong winds, and slippery roads.

While snow squalls are not expected to be widespread across our
region...they have the potential to result in very localized
hazardous travel so motorists should be prepared.
