Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Boston/Norton MA
125 PM EST Mon Dec 30 2019
.SYNOPSIS...
Strong low crossing the Great Lakes will bring freezing
rain/ice to interior MA/CT/RI today and tonight with significant
icing in the Berkshires and Worcester Hills. A chilly rain
elsewhere. Slowly improving conditions during Tuesday as the
coastal low shifts northeast to the Maritimes. Other than a few
intermittent snow showers in west flow for New Years Eve night
across western Massachusetts into the Connecticut River Valley,
pattern trends drier moving into the first week of the New Year.
Next chance for precipitation is with a frontal system Friday
into Saturday, with even warmer temperatures. Above normal
temperatures look to continue into the upcoming weekend.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
1 PM Update...
*** Ice Storm Warning Remains In Effect For The Berkshires &
Worcester Hills for significant icing ***
Updated the forecast to better account for the colder air
remaining locked in the lower levels. This is evident by the
snow and sleet being observed across the region. Expect the
sleet rain mix near Boston to be short lived as warmer ocean
air advects in changing precipitation over to all rain. The
colder air remaining locked in will result in less ice
accumulation, but slightly more snow/sleet accumulation. Nudged
the forecast toward the latest HREF guidance which is
performing well compared to current obs.
Expecting up to a tenth of an inch of additional ice
accumulation across the higher elevations. There could be a few
isolated spots above 1000 feet that see two tenths of an inch
across the Berkshires. The accumulating ice coupled with 20 to
30 mph wind gusts will continue to cause tree damage and down
power lines.
Winter Weather Advisory continues. Still could see a light
amount of freezing rain, which still can create slick roads.
Previous discussions...
1030 AM Update...
No major changes to the previous forecast.
Have updated things to try and time the lighter precipitation.
Looks like roughly 18Z to 21Z per the last few runs of the HRRR
guidance. Still looks like the higher elevations will see the
highest ice accumulations. Have not messed with the amounts, but
looks like additional totals of two tenths of an inch at the
higher elevations. Think there may be isolated amounts of three
tenths of an inch at elevations above 1000 feet across the
Berkshires.
Watching the area where light radar echoes have moved over,
roughly central to northeast MA. Precipitation in some of these
spots has changed over to snow. Think that this may be due to
loss of ice aloft, but think that this will be temporary. The
next slug of precipitation is on the periphery of where precip
turned over to snow. Think that this will replenish any ice loss
aloft and change things back over to freezing rain/sleet. Will
need to keep a close eye on things with temperatures hovering
around the low to mid 30s.
Still expect some sleet/freezing rain across the lower
elevations, but expect amounts to be light. Continued the
Winter Weather Advisory as it does not take much ice to create
slick roads.
4 AM Update...
Headlines...
Despite model trends not as cold as previous runs resulting in
slightly less ice we will continue the Ice Storm Warnings for the
east slopes of the Berks and northern Worcester county including
northwest Middlesex county. Still expecting ice accretion to
approach or exceed 0.50 inch with highest probability of occurrence
across the east slopes of the Berks. However given model trend for
airmass not as cold as previous runs, will cancel the Winter Weather
Advisory for eastern MA into eastern RI as temps will be too
marginal for much if any freezing rain.
Temperatures and Ice Potential ...
As mentioned above 00z guidance not as cold as previous model runs
and seeing this verify in latest surface observations with mesonets
showing very few locations at or below freezing across northern CT
into western/central MA with coldest temps at elevations above 1000
ft. However all model guidance in good agreement that core of
coldest air (925 mb temps) traverses southward across the region
between 18z today and 00z this evening. Thus not expecting surface
temps to change much from their current values thru the day.
Therefore greatest risk for significant icing today is across the
higher elevations especially above 1000 ft. While model simulated
ice accretion totals have decreased from previous runs, 00z NAM/EC
and HREF still offering 0.25 to 0.50 inches with isolated 0.75
inches possible across the Berks and Worcester Hills. Thus will
continue with Ice Storm Warnings for this region and buffer
surrounding areas (northern CT-northwest RI into I495 corridor of
eastern MA and points westward with Winter Weather Advisory for a
trace to a quarter inch possible.
Precipitation Intensity ...
Bit of a lull in precip intensity at the moment but as low level
easterly jet increases today radar will fill back in. Already
starting to see this low level jet increase with North Adams (AQW)
in Berkshire county reporting an east wind gusting to 21 kt. Also
mid level lapse rates begin to steepen above this low level jet
today which may become favorable for isolated elevated convection.
Winds ...
As low level jet increases today east winds will increase along
the coast to 20-30 mph with gusts possibly up to 45 mph over Cape
Cod and the Islands. Thus a chilly wind swept rain for this region.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM TUESDAY/...
430 AM update ...
Tonight ...
Shallow cold air centered around 3-4 kft aloft begins to retreat
northward after 00z. Thus freezing rain/ice will be limited to the
high terrain of the Berkshires and Worcester Hills. Elsewhere just a
chilly rain. In fact precip could transition to a heavy drizzle as
dry slot overspreads the area but low level moisture remains in
abundance as secondary low and associated nose of low level jet
traverses the coastline. Thus remaining windy along the coast.
Tuesday ...
Gradual improvement as secondary low exits Cape Cod and lifts
northward to coastal ME. As winds shift to the west behind the
departing low a drying trend develops later in the morning along
with some breaks of sunshine possible in the afternoon especially
across CT/RI and southeast MA. Given the wind shift to the west,
drier weather temps will rebound into the 40s, upper 30s high
terrain.
&&
.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Highlights...
* Variable clouds, with spotty snow showers western MA/NW CT New
Years Eve night.
* Dry and milder-than-normal weather through Thursday night.
* Frontal system Friday into Saturday; may see brief wintry mix at
onset in northern MA but mainly a rain event. Well above normal
temperatures thru Sat.
* Drier weather for the weekend, with temps trending just less above-
normal.
Details...
New Years Eve Night into New Years Day:
Quieter weather pattern takes hold over Southern New England
starting Tuesday night, with the upper-level low over the Great
Lakes lifting northward into central Quebec on New Years Eve night
into New Years Day. As it does so, it will impart a westerly flow to
the region with a passing Clipper system that will mainly affect
areas north and west of the Berkshires with the most persistent
intervals of snow showers. A 925-850 mb thermal trough settling in
associated with 850 mb temps between -7 to -9C per ECMWF guidance.
Still a considerable amount of clouds for evening New Years Eve
festivities though, with enough RH in the snow growth region per
model soundings for some scattered snow showers mainly in the CT
Valley westward into the Berkshires. Snow showers likely to be more
intermittent/spotty than steady, with accumulations negligible given
westerly downslope flow. Will see decreasing clouds after midnight.
Somewhat blustery evening with decent west p-gradient, and with
temperatures in the 20s to low 30s in the interior, wind chills
overnight in the upper teens.
Drying out into New Years Day. Partly sunny skies with highs in the
30s, to low-40s eastern MA, eastern RI and the CT Valley.
Wednesday Night through Thursday Night:
Moderating pattern into this period with rising 500 mb geopotential
height tendencies and increasing SSW flow. This will result in
general warm advection through this period, with sfc ridge in
place and mostly clear skies supporting good diurnal ranges.
Will start to see increased clouds spread in from the SW after
midnight/early Friday morning ahead of the next frontal system,
though dry conditions to again prevail.
Friday:
Most active period in the extended, with sfc low pressure tracking
from the mid-Mississippi Valley into the western Great Lakes Friday
(e.g. west of southern New England, a milder storm track). Despite
the milder/warmer storm track, do have to keep tabs on surface temps
for possible wintry mix possibilities early Friday as a warm front
lifts north and spreads related precip into the region. Best chance
for any early-day frozen precip is across northern MA before
transitioning to all rain. GFS guidance likely not wet enough in
terms of precipitation as compared to its own ensemble mean and the
international guidance is also wetter.
Mild warm sector with anomalously warm 850 mb temps (around +6 to +8
C, approaching +10C towards the South Coast!) then overspread the
region late in the day. Appears unlikely at this point that we'll be
able to mix this deep, but any cloud breaks could bring daytime high
temperatures several degrees warmer than current forecast
expectations (currently shown in the 40s to near 50). Should see
cloudy and mild nighttime temps Friday night that may only fall a
few degrees from daytime highs.
The Weekend:
500 mb trough axis and associated surface cold front progress
through Southern New England on Saturday; temps to remain warm
enough for rain on Saturday, though may end as a brief period of
snow into NW MA Saturday night. Mild in the upper 40s to mid 50s for
Saturday, though temperatures to fall amid cold advection into the
20s to mid 30s.
Pattern aloft then trends more zonal/flatter moving into Sunday. No
real cold air resembling mid-winter or even climo to speak of
though, in what's proven to be a rather mild last several days. Some
indications in longer-range model output that the second week of
January may trend colder.

Forecaster Confidence Levels...
Low - less than 30 percent.
Moderate - 30 to 60 percent.
High - greater than 60 percent.
18Z Update...
Today until 00Z... IFR/LIFR conditions persist with rain across
Cape Cod and the Islands. Interior locations will see a mixture
of precipitation types. ORH will see a snow/sleet mix becoming
a freezing rain and sleet mix. Other terminals could see a brief
period of sleet early this afternoon before changing over to
all rain.
Tonight 00Z until 12Z... IFR and LIFR conditions continue, but
expect visibilities to gradually improve across the interior as
precipitation becomes lighter. Expect mainly rain except for
freezing rain and sleet at ORH until roughly 03Z to 06Z. Gusty
winds will diminish across interior locations. The only
exception is across Cape Cod and the Islands where strong winds
continue until roughly 06Z to 12Z.
Tuesday ...Precipitation tapering off from south to north early
on Tuesday. Gradually expect conditions to improve. IFR/LIFR at
12Z but trending toward MVFR/VFR in the afternoon from south to
