Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Boston/Norton MA
112 PM EST Sat Dec 14 2019

.SYNOPSIS...
Low pressure will lift north of the region this evening followed
by drier but windy conditions. Dry and blustery conditions
will continue Sunday. Below average temperatures move back in
Monday along with another round of snow arriving from the
southwest, changing to rain along the coast. There may also be a
wintry mix Monday night into Tuesday, which will change back to
spotty light snow Tuesday night. The snow will linger into
early Wednesday, then gusty northwest winds return Wednesday
night into Thursday morning. Dry and very cold conditions will
linger through the end of next week.

&&

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

Lots of stratus and fog across SNE as warmer air moves in over
cooler ocean waters. Strong shortwave approaching from the SW
will bring a renewed area of showers to the interior by late
afternoon. Also, watching some showers over the ocean to the
south which may impact the Cape/Islands toward evening assocd
with an area of elevated instability and secondary low level
jet. Sharp temp gradient along stationary boundary in SNE
separating temps in the 40s interior from lower 60s in RI/SE
MA.

Previous discussion...

Rain is exiting SNE this morning as dry slot overspreads the
region. Heavier rainfall and convection sliding just SE of ACK
late this morning. Expect just a few showers into the afternoon
with additional shower activity moving in from the SW later in
the afternoon as strong shortwave approaches. Some elevated
instability but it is confined mainly offshore. Flood watches
have been cancelled.

Core of the 80-85kt low level jet is currently moving over the
Cape/Islands. Strong low level inversion will prevent these
winds from completely mixing down, however, noting some 40-45 kt
gusts which have recently developed over ACK and the outer
Cape. This is about 50 percent of the jet which is what we
normally anticipate when a strong inversion is in place. So
there will be a brief window of 44-55 mph gusts for the next few
hours for the Cape/Islands, then the core of the jet moves to
the east around 18z with the risk of strong winds decreasing.

Warm front aligned along the coastal plain with southerly winds
and temps well into the 50s to lower 60s across eastern MA/RI, but
light N winds and temps in the 40s interior. This milder
air may advance a bit further west this afternoon as next
shortwave and sfc low approaches from the west, but temps will
likely hold in the 40s in the CT valley and interior northern
MA.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 AM SUNDAY/...
* Additional Wind Headlines may be needed tonight *

Tonight...

Shortwave energy rotating through the region will allow for
some scattered showers during the evening, especially across
the interior. Otherwise, the main story will be the wind
tonight. Low pressure will continue to bomb out as it lifts
into Quebec tonight, dropping towards 970 mb. The result will
be a developing west to southwest LLJ of 45 to 60 knots.
Steepening lapse rates will allow for 35 to 50 mph wind gusts
and additional wind headlines might be needed tonight. This is
especially true across the Cape/Islands, where mixing over the
ocean will be ideal with WSW flow. Low temps by daybreak will
be in the middle 30s to the lower 40s.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
Highlights...

* Expect dry but blustery conditions Sunday into Sunday night,
  with snow showers lingering across the higher inland terrain.
  Pockets of minor flooding will linger as area rivers crest
  from the rainfall and snowmelt runoff.

* A seasonably cold Monday. The next low pressure center will
  move in during the day, bringing snow to start then changing
  to rain along the immediate coast and a wintry mix inland that
  will linger through late Tuesday or Tuesday evening.
  Confidence is moderate to high for an impactful storm, but
  where the precipitation types will occur remains uncertain due
  to model solution spread.

* Dry conditions but unseasonably cold temperatures expected
  Wednesday night through Friday.

Details...

Sunday...

** Strong winds and pockets of minor river flooding **

May see some light snow showers linger across the E slopes of
the Berkshires through midday with only light accumulations,
otherwise expect dry conditions as blustery west winds move in.
However, with the tight pressure gradient around the exiting
low pressure into the Gulf of St. Lawrence, winds will become
strong especially along the immediate coast and across the
coastal waters. Will see gusts up to 25 to 35 kt across most
areas, except up to around 40 kt along the immediate coast and
especially Cape Cod and the islands. Gale Warnings will likely
remain in place through the day.

Another area of concern will be the localized flooding that
will likely occur along the local rivers and streams as the
levels crest due not only to the heavy rainfall that started
Friday night, but with snowmelt thanks to mild temperatures that
moved in. NERFC and our office continue to monitor river levels
for continued pockets of minor flooding.

Monday through Tuesday...

**Potential for snow becoming a wintry mix, except changing to
 rain along the immediate coast during Tuesday**

A continued progressive mid level steering pattern in place
across the lower 48, with occasional deep H5 troughs that move
across through the week, another cold front will push across the
region by Monday morning with another shot of cold air moving
across.

With the continued steady fast flow aloft, another low from the
mid Mississippi and Ohio valleys will shift E-NE. This will be
another swath of light snow across from SW-NE during the midday
and afternoon hours. May see the precip mainly in the form of
rain along the immediate S coast, however. While temps remain at
or below freezing through Monday night across the region,
milder air will lift above the cold dome overnight which will
cause a wintry mix of precipitation away from the coast. Temps
will start to slowly rise overnight, which should change to mix
to rain across the coastal plain, but may see a prolonged period
of snow, sleet and/or freezing rain across the interior. Noting
the higher QPF values, on the order of 0.25 to 0.4 inches
remains S of the Mass Pike, but the lower amounts will still
fall where the mixed precip occurs. May need another round of
winter headlines for this event, but will continue to monitor
this closely.

As an elongated low passes S of the region Tuesday, will still
see the mixed precip Tuesday morning, then the colder air will
come back in as the low pushes offshore. Still quite a few
questions on the exact track and impacts that could occur with
this system Monday night and Tuesday, so below average
confidence for this portion of the forecast.

At this point, light snow or rain should taper off as it pushes
offshore Tuesday night.

Wednesday through Friday...

**Below average temperatures Thursday and Friday**

Large high pressure will build slowly E out of western Quebec
to the Appalachians Wednesday, passing across the region
sometime Friday. So, while we see dry conditions, a shot over
arctic air will push out of Will see a shot of very cold air
work in from the N-NW. The coldest air move across on Thursday,
with highs only in the mid teens across the E slopes of the
Berkshires ranging to the mid-upper 20s on Thursday! These
readings will run around 15 to near 20 degrees below seasonal
levels. The low Thursday night are forecast to drop to the
single digits across N central/NW Mass ranging to around 20
along the immediate S coast.

As the high shifts slowly offshore Friday, should see slowly
recover, but look to remain in the 20s to lower 30s.

The only precip currently forecast would be a batch of light
snow across the E slopes of the Berkshires around the Thursday
afternoon/evening timeframe.

Short Term /through Tonight/...

Today...Moderate to high confidence. A strong low level jet,
which peaks between 80 and 90 knots later this morning into mid

of 40 to 50 knots later this morning into the afternoon. Brief
gusts up to 55 knots are possible near and especially southeast
of the Cape/Nantucket, where the core of the LLJ traverses. Seas
build to between 10 and 15 feet. Vsbys will also be reduced in
heavy rain and possibly a few embedded t-storms.

it lifts from New England and Quebec tonight. The result will
be strong gale force WSW wind gusts on the order of 40 to 45
