Area forecast discussion, Mar 8, 9:26 PM EST, 6 hours 2 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Boston/Norton MA
926 PM EST Fri Mar 8 2019
.SYNOPSIS...
Dry weather persists into Saturday evening with moderating
temperatures. Low pressure will push northeast toward the Great
Lakes and into eastern Canada late Saturday. This will bring a
wintry precipitation mix late Saturday night, which will change
to rain from around daybreak through midday Sunday. Dry and
seasonal conditions expected Monday, then cooler air works in
Tuesday and Wednesday as large high pressure moves across.
Another strong low moves across the western Great Lakes
Thursday, with the chance for rain moving into central and
western areas during the afternoon.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SATURDAY MORNING/...
925 pm update...
A ridge of high pressure will maintain quiet weather overnight
with light winds. Mainly clear skies except for a bit of
scattered mid/high level cloudiness flirting with the south
coast at times. Otherwise, light winds coupled with the deep
snowpack in place will allow many outlying locations to drop
into the teens. May even see a few high single digit readings
across the normally coldest spots of western MA. Meanwhile...the
urban heat islands of downtown Boston/Providence should see lows
in the middle 20s.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Saturday...High pressure overhead will result in plenty of
sunshine, and permit much of our region to approach near normal
high temperatures. Winds should remain relatively light, but
will eventually be from the east, which will lower temperatures
along the east coast of MA during the afternoon.
Our next chance for significant precipitation looks to be late
Saturday night into Sunday. Timing will be critical. High
pressure over the Maritimes is close enough to trap some colder
air near the ground, at least at night. Once we get past
daybreak, the higher March sun angle and developing SE flow will
switch precipitation from snow, to a wintry mix of sleet and
freezing rain, then eventually to rain.
Expecting this high pressure to slightly delay the onset of
light snow Saturday night as there will be some low level dry
air to be overcome. That does not leave much of a window for
accumulating snow. Still thinking most of southern New England
will remain below 3 inch accumulations. Winter Weather
Advisories may still be required though for the threat of a
period freezing rain. This will need to be watched closely over
the next 24-36 hours.
Expecting temperatures to be near normal Saturday night into
Sunday.
&&
.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
Highlights...
* Dry and seasonable conditions Monday, then large high pressure
builds in with cooler temperatures Tue/Wed
* Another weather system brings the chance for rain late Thu/Fri
Details...
Sunday night through Wednesday...
Much of the next work week will be fairly quiet, with a roller
coaster of high temps and the return of rain late week. Late
Sunday evening the secondary low pressure over us will exit
southern New England to the northeast as the parent low center
lingers just north of Maine through Monday. The dry slot moves
overhead and precip will taper off Sunday evening. We remain
above freezing overnight so no refreezing issues are expected
with lows in the upper 30s.
By Monday we're dry and clouds clear out a bit, but we won't be
totally sunny as some low to mid level moisture lingers. CAA at
the mid levels will steepen lapse rates and help mix down gusty
winds from a stout 35-45kt LLJ. We'll see wind gusts mainly in
the higher elevations and along the coast, of 25-30 mph. Another
front passes and a weak shortwave drops through the broad upper
level trough and over SNE late Monday into the early part of
Tuesday. There's little moisture available though, so not
expecting much out of it in the way of precip, mostly increased
cloud cover Monday night and a drop in temps. Given
southwesterly flow at the surface and some sun, Monday will be
our warmest day until late week, in the mid 40s. Behind the
front lows Tuesday morning drop back below freezing. Tuesday and
Wednesday an expansive 1035mb high pressure takes hold,
crossing southern New England late Wednesday. This will keep us
dry and sunny with slowly moderating temperatures. Tuesday highs
drop back into the 30s, warming to the low 40s on Wednesday.
Thursday and Friday...
Late Thursday/Friday timeframe still looks like our next chance
of precip. A large low pressure center lifts northeast from the
continental divide into the Great Lakes, bringing us plenty of
southerly return flow and warm advection...temperatures will be
on the rise each day, into the upper 40s on Thursday and low to
mid 50s on Friday! This should bring any precip as rain.
Confidence in details and timing is low at this time, but rain
chances generally increase late Thursday, peaking on Friday.
