What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this gale warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Boston/Norton, MA wrote its last area forecast discussion before this gale warning went out at Feb 18, 12:44 AM EST, 2 hours 23 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Feb 18, 12:44 AM EST, 2 hours 23 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Boston/Norton MA
1244 AM EST Tue Feb 18 2020

.SYNOPSIS...
Low pressure over the Great Lakes Tuesday and its attending
warm front will spread rain across southern New England. The
exception will be for a few hours of a wintry mix in the
afternoon across the high terrain of western and central
Massachusetts. The attending cold front sweeps across the region
Tuesday night ushering in drier and colder weather Wednesday
with the core of the cold air settling over the area Thursday
night into Friday morning. Moderating temperatures over the
weekend along with dry weather as high pressure sets up over the
Mid Atlantic region.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THIS MORNING/...

1240 AM Update...

High pressure centered across northern New England will
continue to result in light winds/seasonably chilly temperatures
very early this morning. Mid and high level cloudiness will
continue to increase through daybreak with warm advection aloft,
but it will remain dry. The increase in clouds will slow down
the radiational cooling process with most locations remaining in
the 20s through daybreak. It will be a few degrees milder in
some of the urban centers and portions of the immediate coast.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THIS MORNING THROUGH 6 PM WEDNESDAY/...

No major changes to the forecast for Tuesday. Still expecting
a primary low pressure to pass by well to our north. 17/12Z
guidance still showed a weak secondary low pressure trying to
get organized towards the south coast of New England Tuesday
evening. It looks like a case of too little, too late, if you
are a snow-lover. Expecting warmer air to overspread our region
during Tuesday, eventually changing all precipitation over to
rain.

Some of the higher resolution guidance, particularly the 3 km
NAM, holds onto some low level cold air a little longer across
the higher terrain of central and western MA. Thus, there is a
risk for some light icing. The timing of this would be between
the morning and evening commutes. This would minimize the impact
of any light icing.

The short duration of snowfall should limit snow accumulations,
too. Not expecting much more than 1-2" inches across the higher
terrain.

Winds at 925 mb and 950 mb show a low-level southeast jet near
NYC at 7 AM, then moving along the South Coast and increasing
to 40-50 kt by late in the day. Expect increasing southeast
winds during the day. Although not all of that wind aloft will
reach the surface, it is reasonable to expect gusts 25-30 kt
along the coast.

Precipitation diminishes Tuesday evening, with dry weather
expected after midnight across most of the region.

Above normal temperatures through this period.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...

Highlights...

* Dry weather likely through the weekend

* Colder trend with coldest air arriving Thu night into early Fri

* Temperatures likely rebound back into 40s over the weekend

Details...

Wednesday/Thursday/Friday ...

Post frontal airmass overspreads the region Wed with dry weather
and strengthening low level cold air advection with 925 mb temps
lowering from -2C at 12z Wed to -8C by 00z Thu. Given delay of
cold air highs Wed near normal with highs from the upper 30s to
lower 40s, mid 30s high terrain. Given the cold air advection
and steepening low level lapse rates expecting blustery NW winds
with gusts up to 35 mph per model soundings. Thus it will feel
colder than the actual air temps. Even colder Thursday with 925
mb temps continuing to lower to about -12C to -13C, only
supporting highs in the upper 20s and lower 30s, mid 20s high
terrain. Cold wind chills as well given brisk west wind gusting
up to 25 mph per model soundings.

Core of the cold air arrives Thu night into Fri morning as 925
mb temps lower to -15C to -16C. This will yield low temps late
Thu night/early Fri morning in the single digits (possible below
zero northwest MA per some guidance sources) and teens. Not
record breaking but about 10 degs colder than normal and given
our recent stretch of mild weather it will feel quite cold. Not
much of temp rebound Fri with highs once again only in the upper
20s and lower 30s. As winds shift to the NNE Thu night into Fri
morning could see some ocean effect snow showers across the
outer Cape and Nantucket given trajectory of cold air (NNE flow)
and relatively mild ocean temps in the low 40s supporting steep
low level lapse rates. In addition developing low pressure off
the southeast U.S. coast during this time may enhance the NNE
flow into the Cape and Nantucket. Something to watch as late
week approaches.

The Weekend ...

Rising heights will support moderating temperatures with highs
likely rebounding back into 40s along with dry weather and
possibly lingering into Monday.

&&

.AVIATION /06Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
Forecaster Confidence Levels...

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

06z update ...

Today...Moderate to high confidence. VFR through 12z with MVFR
conditions overspreading the region from west to east later this
morning into mid afternoon. Further lowering to IFR levels
should occur by late afternoon/early evening in many locations.
Rain overspreads most locations from 15z to 19z. The exception
is mainly the east slopes of the Berkshires and Worcester Hills,
where ptype begins as a period of snow/ice with a minor
accumulation possible. Ptype should change to rain in all these
locations by early evening. Winds shift to SE this morning at
10 to 15 knots with some gusts up to 20 knots along the coast
and in the high terrain.

Tonight...Moderate to high confidence. Low end MVFR-IFR
conditions with localized LIFR conditions into the first half of
the evening in showers, low clouds and fog. There will also be
LLWS in association with a modest southerly LLJ. Improvement
occurs by late this evening and especially after midnight from
west to east as drier air works into the region.

Wednesday...High confidence. VFR. NW wind gusts of 25 to 35
knots.

KBOS Terminal...Moderate to high confidence in TAF.

KBDL Terminal...Moderate to high confidence in TAF.

A brief period of snow overspreads the region from late Tuesday

perhaps up to 2 inches in extreme northwest Massachusetts. The
snow will change to a brief period of sleet and freezing rain
