...A SNOW SQUALL WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 445 PM EST FOR
NORTHEASTERN WINDHAM...WEST CENTRAL KENT AND SOUTHWESTERN PROVIDENCE
COUNTIES...

At 435 PM EST, a dangerous snow squall was located over Killingly, or
12 miles north of Plainfield, moving east at 25 mph.

HAZARD...Poor visibility from heavy snow.

SOURCE...Radar indicated.

IMPACT...Dangerous life-threatening travel.

This snow squall was weakening as it moved into western Rhode 
Island. Poor visibility with quick accumulation is expected for 
portions of Route 6 and Route 44.

Locations impacted include...
Coventry, Plainfield, Smithfield, Killingly, Burrillville, Scituate,
Glocester, Putnam, Thompson, Brooklyn, Woodstock, Foster, Ashford,
Pomfret, Sterling, Hampton and Eastford.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Consider avoiding or delaying travel until the snow squall passes
your location. If you must travel, use extra caution and allow extra
time. Rapid changes in visibility and slick road conditions may lead
to accidents.

Reduce your speed and turn on headlights! During snow squalls, the
visibility may suddenly drop to near zero in whiteout conditions.

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Boston/Norton MA
1248 PM EST Wed Dec 18 2019

.SYNOPSIS...
An inverted trough will lift north and east of the region this
morning as low pressure exits. Any precipitation will come to an
end by mid morning from west to east. A cold front through
during the afternoon and into the evening. This will bring
scattered snow squalls and will be accompanied by strong wind
gusts. Arctic air will push in wake of the front. This coupled
with the winds will bring very low wind chill values. Dry and
cold conditions continue Thursday and Friday. Dry weather likely
lingers through the weekend into early next week and will be
accompanied by moderating temperatures.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
1015 AM Update:

Ridge remains in place across western New England and will lead
to mostly sunny skies for the first part of the day, with
temperatures warming into the upper 20s to mid 30s.

Of greater interest weather-wise though is the Arctic cold
front which per surface analysis and METARs was just about to
cross the NY/Ontario international border. Lake-enhanced
moisture is currently contributing to periods of snow showers
across central and western NY. SPC mesoanalysis indicates snow
squall parameter values greater than 1 unit (which highlights
favorable areas of convective instability, moisture and wind
conditions for snow squall production) across NY now, and models
show this shifting eastward during the mid-afternoon to early
evening. Does appear that the most coherent signal for snow
squalls is more into western NY into VT and NH where low-level
frontogenesis appears greater, but did note the HRRR and NAM-
3km simuluated reflectivity brings a cluster of snow
showers/squalls through western MA/CT Valley by mid-afternoon
and progresses this eastward across the rest of MA, northeast CT
into northern RI by late afternoon into early evening. While
snow squalls are short- lived features (less than an hour), they
do cause reduced visibility, a quick coating to an inch of
snow, with temporary whiteout conditions. As this appears more
likely to affect today's PM commute, opted to issue a proactive
SPS in collaboration with neighboring WFOs.

Previous Discussion...

Highlights...

Slick AM commute especially where roads are untreated and black
ice has formed.

Rain and snow ending across the coastal plain and RI.

Scattered snow showers begin spreading into western MA by noon.

Details...

An inverted trough will lift north and east of the region
as low pressure exits. This will gradually bring an end to
precipitation across eastern MA and RI. Temperatures will be at or
below freezing for much of the CWA this morning. Any areas where the
pavement is wet and untreated could be slick as black ice may form.

A weak mid level ridge will quickly build in this morning and bring
partly to mostly sunny skies. This will be short lived as a cold
front slides in from the northwest, which will increase cloud cover
from northwest to southeast heading into the afternoon. Snow shower
chances will increase across the Berkshires. Temperatures will
increase into the low to mid 30s by noon with the coldest readings
across the CT River Valley.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY/...
Highlights...

Scattered snow showers and snow squalls this afternoon into this
evening. This activity could impact the evening commute.

Arctic air pushes in tonight bringing gusty winds and producing wind
chills between 0 degrees and nearly 20 degrees below zero late
tonight into early Thursday AM. The coldest readings are expected
where a Wind Chill Advisory has been issued across the Berkshires. A
Wind Advisory has been issued for Cape Cod and the Islands due to
the strong winds.

Details...

This afternoon and tonight...

Cyclonic flow across the eastern Great Lakes and New England with a
cutoff situated over the central Great Lakes. This feature will lift
into northern New England by this evening. At the surface a cold
front will slide through. The combination of daytime heating, low
level moisture and the cold front sliding in will result in
scattered snow showers. The latest NAM, GFS, ARW and NMM show nearly
adiabatic lapse rates within the lowest 2 km along with strong low
level convergence and around 50 to 90 J/kg of CAPE. Looks like an
environment with potential for snow squalls, but the best
opportunity is across northern New England due to the proximity to
the upper low. Think that there will be a period from roughly noon
until 9 PM where there will be widely scattered snow showers. Looks
like the best opportunity for snow squall activity will be across
the Berkshires, CT Valley and Worcester Hills. However, cannot rule
out this activity spreading further east. Have some concern that
this activity lingers and impacts the evening commute. Expect
anywhere from a dusting to an inch of accumulation where snow
showers pass through.

Any snow shower activity will quickly diminish this evening due to
the loss of heating. Still expect strong mechanical mixing as Arctic
air filters in. Expect westerly winds becoming northwesterly with
speeds of 15 to 25 mph and inland and gusts of 20 to 30 mph. Expect
stronger mixing across the Cape and Islands where gusts of 40 mph
are expected overnight. Strong agreement amongst guidance and per
NAM/GFS Bufkit profiles for strong gusts across the Cape and
Islands. Decided to issue a Wind Advisory into Thursday morning. The
gusty winds inland coupled with the plummeting temperatures
will result in very cold wind chills. Values of 0 to 20 degrees
below zero can be expected late tonight into early Thursday
morning with the coldest readings where the Wind Chill Advisory
has been issued. Low temperatures will fall into the single
digits and teens above zero across the region.

Thursday...

Cyclonic flow persists aloft, however the cutoff will lift northeast
of the region. A mid level ridge will build in from the west. This
will gradually relax the pressure gradient and bring lighter gusts
over land. Skies will be partly to mostly sunny, but it will be
chilly with the arctic air in place. High temperatures range from
the teens across the higher elevations inland to the low to mid 20s
across the coastal plain.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
Highlights...

* Arctic High high pressure brings dry weather Thu - Tuesday

* Temps well below normal Friday will moderate through the weekend
  into next week

Details...

Thursday night and Friday...

A sprawling high pressure moves into place at the surface with cold
NW flow aloft keeping the Arctic airmass over the region. The
surface pressure gradient ahead of the advancing high remains
tight which will keep winds gusty Thursday night helping to
limit decoupling and radiative cooling. Friday winds come down
through the morning as the center of the high moves east. Dry
weather expected with plenty of sun. Sunny skies may be
deceiving, however, as temperatures will feel frigid, only
topping out in the 20s Friday. This would be 10 to 10F below
normal for late December.

Saturday through Tuesday...

The quiet weather stretch continues through at least Tuesday under
continued high pressure. An upper level shortwave over the desert SW
becomes closed off and separated from the steering flow
Saturday and a dip in the northern stream moves through to our
north late Saturday, but at the moment its looking like we may
get some added cloud cover and not much else. That larger
system stays well to our south Sun/Mon while another disturbance
passes well to our north. For now it continues to look like
we'll thread the needle between systems and stay dry. By late
Saturday winds come out of the SW and W which brings in warmer
air and moderating temps back toward normal. Highs by Saturday
are back in the 30s; 30s/40s by Sunday into next week.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
Forecaster Confidence Levels...

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

Short Term /through Thursday/...

18z TAF Update:

Today...High confidence.

Still some straggling MVFR ceilings s towards FMH- HYA but
expecting improvement to VFR shortly. Arctic front will then be
the main focus, which still looks to bring about a period of
scattered snow showers and localized snow squalls moving into
the PM push. Expect a 30-min period of IFR to VLIFR visby in
snow showers and brief gusty winds to 25 kts. Still think the
greatest potential for sub- IFR visby squalls is N/W of Boston-
Providence, but may make it as far as these airports. W winds
around 10 kts today, becoming NW late in the western terminals.

Tonight...VFR. Biggest concern is the NW wind gusts, with winds
15-25 kts gusts 35-40 kts, strongest at BOS and on the Cape.

Thursday...VFR. Strong NW winds with local gusts up to 30 kt.

KBOS Terminal...High confidence in TAF trends, moderate on snow
squall potential. Scattered snow showers, possible snow squalls
21-23z. Best chance N/W of Logan, but may need to TEMPO in snow
squalls with future amendments.

KBDL Terminal...High confidence in TAF trends, moderate on
timing. May see periods of snow showers early this afternoon,
but lowest visby snow showers/squalls mainly ~20-22z.

Outlook /Thursday Night through Sunday/...

Thursday Night: VFR. Windy with local gusts up to 30 kt.

Friday: VFR. Breezy.

Friday Night through Sunday: VFR.

&&

.MARINE...
Short Term /through Thursday/...

Seas will continue to run above SCA levels on the outer waters
into Wednesday, and will build further as a strong Arctic front
moves across the waters late today and tonight. Gale warnings
have been issued for all waters with gusts in the 35-40 kt
range starting this evening. These conditions will persist into
Thursday. With the colder air moving in and cooler ocean
temperatures expect freezing spray across the eastern nearshore
waters. A Freezing Spray Advisory has been issued tonight into
Thursday morning.

Outlook /Thursday Night through Sunday/...

Thursday Night: Moderate risk for Small Craft Advisory winds
with gusts up to 30 kt. Rough seas up to 10 ft.

Friday: Winds less than 25 kt. Local rough seas.

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

Saturday through Sunday: Winds less than 25 kt.

...SCATTERED SNOW SQUALLS WITH BRIEF REDUCED VISIBILITIES
POSSIBLE LATER TODAY...

Snow squalls are possible between today as an Arctic cold front
moves across Southern New England. Snow squalls should move into
western MA into the CT Valley between 2 and 5 PM, and central into
eastern MA, northern RI and northeast CT between 4 and 8 PM.

Snow squalls are bursts of intense snow showers, often lasting
between 30 minutes to an hour, but produce visibilities as low as
a quarter-mile, wind gusts between 20 to 30 mph, and result in
rapidly changing weather and road conditions. A coating to up to
an inch of snow is expected in these snow squalls. These snow
showers and snow squalls are expected to impact today's afternoon
commute.

Precautionary/Preparedness Actions...

Be prepared for areas of reduced visibility in scattered snow
showers and squalls. This could lead to temporary whiteout
conditions and the potential for dangerous driving conditions in
snow squalls. If you are traveling and encounter adverse winter
driving conditions...reduce speed and make sure headlights are on.
