Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Boston/Norton MA
350 AM EST Wed Jan 16 2019

.SYNOPSIS...
Breezy conditions today as a cold front sweeps through late
in the day, but conditions remain dry. One weather system slips
past Southern New England Friday, bringing a period of snow
changing to rain Thursday night and Friday. All eyes are on a
second storm that brings a mix of wintry weather for Saturday
night and Sunday. Arctic air returns for early next week.

&&

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

As expected temperatures have stayed a bit warmer overnight
compared to what we saw 24 hours ago. Though many locations
decoupled with clear skies and good radiational cooling, light
return flow developed overnight thanks to the low passing to
our north...just enough to moderate temps a bit. This wind
shift comes courtesy of a clipper system passing to our north
and the associated shortwave crossing SNE today. There remains
very limited moisture with this low and we're not expecting
anything in the way of precipitation. The only exception would
be a slight chance of some orographically forced flurries over
the Berkshires with the frontal passage late in the day.
Otherwise dry, with some increased low-mid clouds by the
mid day. SW winds continue their temperature moderating trend
during the day bringing highs into the upper 30s, approaching
the low 40s.

Those relatively mild temperatures then comes to and end with
the arrival of a dry cold front sweeping through during the
late afternoon/evening. Ahead of this, southwest winds become
gusty as the pressure gradient tightens between the low over
northern New England and the broad high pressure to our south.
Model soundings indicate potential for gusts 25-30 kts. Behind
the front winds become NW and remain elevated as the colder air
streams in.

&&

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

Behind the cold front high pressure quickly edges into the
region overnight. Good CAA and a drier post frontal airmass
mean a clear and bitterly cold night, with wind chills even
colder. With the arrival of high pressure winds will diminish
overnight but even so, some could see wind chills in the single
digits before sunrise.

Thursday high pressure dominates bringing dry weather, cold
temperatures, and sunny skies to start. Temps at H85 drop 5-10C
from Wednesday to Thursday. At the surface this translates to a
drop of 10-15 degrees in high temps; most locations won't break
30 degrees. Clear skies most of the day will give way to
increasing clouds from south to north late in the day as
moisture streams in ahead of our next winter weather system.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
Big Picture...

Longwave scale continues to show ridge-west/trough-east through the
long-term period, suggesting warm west and cold east. Shortwave
scale shows separate northern and southern streams Thursday-
Friday with a weak shortwave racing through New England Friday.
The streams then merge Saturday with a deep trough forming over
the Mississippi Valley and then swinging east, crossing New
England Sunday night or Monday. The GFS and ECMWF maintain
cyclonic flow over the region through Tuesday.

Contour fields are near normal and trending milder through Saturday,
then sharply colder early next week. Temperatures at 850 mb are
below normal Thursday, trend milder over the weekend, then trend
brutally colder Sunday night onward.

Model fields are in general agreement Thursday through Saturday, and
clearly divergent Sunday night through Tuesday. Confidence is high
Thursday, moderate Friday to Sunday, low Monday-Tuesday.

Concerns...

Two periods of unsettled weather, Friday and Saturday night-Sunday.
Cold/dry or seasonably cold/dry the remainder of the period. Strong
northwest wind gusts possible Sunday night and Monday.

Friday...

Shallow northern stream shortwave in a split-stream flow suggests
only limited moisture amounts. GFS cross sections show deep
moisture, but precipitable water values only a little above normal.
Consensus MSLP fields show a surface low tracking just south of our
South Coast, suggesting thermal fields will support mainly snow
north and snow changing to rain south. Uncertainty regarding the
storm track leads to uncertainty regarding amounts at this time.

Saturday night and Sunday...

Phased-stream flow brings higher moisture amounts to this system.
Cross sections again show deep moisture, but this time PW values are
forecast above an inch which is well above normal in mid January.
Surface low moves off the Rockies Friday and up the Ohio Valley
Saturday night. GFS brings the surface low across Northern Mass into
Northern New England, while the ECMWF brings it along or just off
the South Coast. The former favors rain, the latter favors snow.
High pressure over Quebec tries to function as a surrogate Maritime
high with a suggestion of cold air damming over interior New
England. We will continue to expect an initial period of snow,
changing to rain or ice. Confidence is between low and moderate.

&&

.AVIATION /08Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Forecaster Confidence Levels...

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

Short Term /through Thursday/...High confidence.

Wednesday and Wednesday Night... VFR with light winds this
morning. Clouds in NY State moving east with cigs at 2000 feet
but downslope flow off the Berkshires is keeping them from
spreading too far east. KBDL and KBAF will likely hold on to
some low clouds for the next hour or two before thinning out.

Cold frontal passage with little impact except a deck of 030-050
clouds across interior S New England during the day. SW winds
with gust to about 25 kt during the afternoon, then shifting
back to the NW during the evening and overnight with gusts
continuing.

KBOS Terminal...High confidence in TAF.

KBDL Terminal...High confidence in TAF.

Outlook /Thursday Night through Sunday/...

Thursday Night: Mainly VFR, with areas IFR possible. Chance SN.

Friday: Mainly IFR, with areas MVFR possible. Breezy. SN
likely, RA likely.

Friday Night: VFR. Breezy.

Saturday: Mainly VFR, with local IFR possible. Slight chance
SN.

Saturday Night: Mainly IFR, with local MVFR possible. Windy
with gusts to 35 kt. SN likely, RA likely, FZRA likely.

Sunday: Mainly MVFR, with areas IFR possible. Strong winds with
local gusts to 40 kt. RA likely, FZRA likely, PL likely.

&&

.MARINE...
Forecaster Confidence Levels...

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

Short Term /through Thursday/...

Today and tonight...
Seas build to 5-8 ft as winds increase to near 30 kts today,
first out of the WSW then becoming northwest overnight. Light
freezing spray is possible over the eastern waters tonight into
Thursday morning. Small Craft Advisories are in effect with a
Gale Warning over the outer eastern waters where winds will be
greatest.

Thursday NNW winds diminish through the day and become ESE by
evening. Seas 4-6 ft early then coming down.

Outlook /Thursday Night through Sunday/...

Thursday Night: Winds less than 25 kt. Chance of snow.
Visibility 1 to 3 nm.

Friday: Low risk for Small Craft Advisory winds with gusts up
to 25 kt. Seas locally approaching 5 ft. Rain likely, chance of
snow. Local visibility 1 to 3 nm.

Friday Night: Winds less than 25 kt. Areas of seas approaching
5 ft.

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

Saturday Night: Low risk for gale force winds with gusts up to
