Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Boston/Norton MA
124 PM EST Fri Jan 25 2019

.SYNOPSIS...
Colder air and dry weather move into Southern New England today
and Saturday as weak high pressure builds. Dry weather continues
Sunday and Monday but with more seasonable air. The weather
turns unsettled Monday night into Tuesday night with a wintry
mix that could briefly change to rain across portions of the
region before changing back to snow late next week as some of
the coldest air of the season may move in.

&&

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

130 PM update...

Very pleasant mid winter day across the region with temps in the
upper 30s and lower 40s along with some sunshine in between the
cold air advection strato-cu clouds. Although feels a tad colder
given a modest WSW wind 10-20 mph. Few snow flurries across
eastern Worcester county into northeast MA at 1 PM. More
scattered snow showers/flurries across NY state that will advect
into northwest MA later this afternoon. This activity is tied to
some lake effect connection as well as a mid level short wave
approaching the region.

&&

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

Tonight...

Dry weather continues. Weak high pressure builds over the region
bringing light winds and radiational cooling. Temperatures
upstream favor min temps in the teens, possibly upper single
numbers in northwest Mass.

Saturday...

High pressure continues to bring dry weather. A weak shortwave
aloft and weak cold front at the surface edge into Southern New
England and bring enough moisture aloft for partly to mostly
cloudy skies, but too much dry air for precipitation. Mixing
reaches at least 900 mb, possibly 850 mb. Temperatures in the
mixed layer will be -12C to -16C, supporting max sfc temps
roughly 25 to 35.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...

Highlights ...

* Isolated snow or rain shower Sunday into Monday
* May see snow and/or a wintry mix Tuesday into Wednesday
* Arctic front may bring coldest temperatures of the season
  late next week

Overview and model preferences...
Overall, no significant changes at the synoptic scale with
latest model guidance update. There are some differences
beginning mid next week regarding the secondary lobe of the
polar vortex rotating toward New England, but more on that in a
bit. The key to the pattern is a deep longwave trof whose
baseline will rest between the Ohio and Mississippi river
valleys, pushing gradually east as the two lobes of the vortex
force the baseline further E and lead to modest negative tilt.
Through Tue, will baseline the forecast with a consensus blend
of available guidance, but lean more heavily on the slower ECMWF
and its ensembles thereafter, given the GFS appears too
progressive for the pattern it claims.

Details...

Sun night into Mon...
The first lobe of the polar vortex rotates southward across the
Great Lakes before turning rapidly northward toward QC as yet
another lobe enters the Canadian Prairie. The parent sfc low
pres associated with this wave follows suit, remaining well NW
of New England. However as the wave takes on a negative tilt,
noting a very weak kink in heights suggestive of offshore
baroclinic leaf and sfc cyclogenesis. New England therefore
resides the broad subsidence between the parent and developing
coastal wave. Warm advection is noted in between, with very weak
lift along with a modest PWAT plume around 0.5 inches, which
may promote some localized SHSN/SHRA (diurnal temp swings will
dictate). Will need to monitor the offshore track/progression as
the trowal precip shield is a very near miss. For now, slight
to low end chance POPs are favored. Temps generally above
seasonal normals thanks to the warm advection, but cool enough
to support at least some minor snow accums during the
evenings/overnights if observed.

Tue into Wed...
1025mb arctic high pres settles across new England late Mon
into Mon night. The orientation of this high will be critical as
isentropic lift associated with a warm front, attendant to low
pres across the Great Lakes, which itself is associated with
the secondary lobe of the polar vortex moving E through the
longwave trof. Column thermal temps support a p-type of mainly
SN to sleet to freezing rain as mid lvl warm air advects
poleward. Noting a signal for cold air damming in the mass
fields, supporting the risk for a wintry mix to start. Using the
more less progressive ECMWF also proposes a risk for frontal
wave development, which, after lower lvl warming could
reintroduce cold air before exiting. Given the depth of the
longwave trof, this feature also has Gulf of Mexico
connections, suggesting higher moisture and PWATs closer to 1.00
inches leading to high liquid values. Overall, something to
monitor through the weekend as timing, track and secondary
development will determine the amount of SN/PL or FZRA.

Late week...
With the second arctic push, the longwave trof shifts far
enough E to introduce direct conduit to arctic airmass. Noting
deep H85/H92 temp anomalies of -15C to -20C. Cyclonic curvature
and sheared shortwaves will also need to be watched, but
overall, anticipate bitter cold to return by the late week time
period.

.HYDROLOGY...
Run off from Thursday's 1-3 inch rainstorm caused some
lingering areal flooding overnight. This is moving out of the
smaller streams and into the main stem rivers. Several forecast
points have rising levels and are either at or approaching minor
flooding.

Of concern... Farmington at Simsbury, Assabet River at Maynard,
Taunton River near Bridgewater, Sudbury River at Saxonville,
Pawtuxet River at Cranston, Pawcatuck River at Westerly, Wood
River at Hope Valley. Also monitoring the Connecticut River at
Hartford and Middle Haddam.

River levels in these areas will be cresting today and Saturday.
A couple may take until Sunday.
