Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Boston/Norton MA
1257 PM EST Tue Mar 3 2020

.SYNOPSIS...

Above normal temperatures continue all week with near record
warmth today followed by a cooling trend Wednesday through
Friday, although remaining above normal. A weak disturbance will
bring a few light showers early this morning all the south
coast followed by dry and warm weather later this morning into
early afternoon. Then a more widespread rain arrives late today
into tonight as a stronger cold front moves through. Dry weather
follows for Wednesday and Thursday. Still monitoring a weather
system passing by southern New England Friday into Saturday,
which may bring rain and eventually snow. Details are still hazy
at this point in time, so folks will want to stay tuned. Drier
and milder weather for Sunday and Monday.

&&

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

*** Near record high temps between 60 and 65 ***

1255 PM Update...

Lots of sunshine this morning and 925T around +8C have allowed
afternoon temperatures to reach between 60 and 65 in most
locations. It was a few degrees cooler along portions of the
high terrain as well as the immediate coast with localized sea
breezes. High temps have been reached or will occur within the
next hour as mid level cloudiness was already beginning to
overspread the region. These clouds will rapidly thicken over
the next few hours.

As next shortwave approaches, showers will overspread western
MA/CT after 4 or 5 PM. This activity should reach eastern MA/RI
between 6 and 8 PM. Appears there may be a lull in the activity,
but another area of showers with perhaps a few embedded
t-storms will cross the region later this evening and overnight
with the actual cold front.

&&

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

4 AM update ...

Tonight ...

Robust short wave approaches the region from the west and takes on
negative tilt around 06z as it traverse the area. Thus strong
forcing for ascent along with good moisture advection as PWATs climb
to AOA 1 inch. Warm front moves thru this evening followed by cold
frontal passage 06z-09z. Mid level lapse become moist adiabatic
before the dry slot arrives, so isolated thunder is possible along
with a few heavy downpours given instability, negative tilt trough
and good moisture advection.

Post frontal 06z-12z so expecting dry weather toward daybreak into
the Wednesday early morning commute. Although turning noticeably
windy and colder behind the front.

Wednesday ...

Dry but windy with model soundings showing G45 mph possible in CAA
and tight pressure gradient as low pressure bombs over the Maritimes
into the 970s mb. Thus may need a wind advisory as Wednesday
approaches. Wind gusts forecast based on model soundings momentum
transfer with increasing low level lapse rates.

As for temps, will feel cooler given cooling temps aloft and dew pts
falling into the 20s. However deep boundary layer will combine with
downslope wind to yield highs in the 50s, upper 40s high terrain.
Above normal for early March but the gusty winds will make it feel
cooler. Dry weather prevails with the only exception possible lake
effect rain/snow showers into western MA, possibly spilling over the
Berkshires into the CT River Valley.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
4 AM update ...

Highlights...

Dry and quiet weather through much of the long term with above
normal temperatures. The only wrinkle in the quiet stretch of
weather and above normal temperatures is a developing system Friday
into Saturday.

Details...

Wednesday evening and Thursday...

Cyclonic flow initially Wednesday evening with a cutoff low lifting
out from New Brunswick toward Newfoundland. As the cutoff lifts out
a ridge will build in from the Great Lakes region. Flow aloft will
be northwesterly advecting cooler air into southern New England.
Expect 850 hPa air of -5 to -10 degree Celsius to advect in. By mid
to late in the afternoon on Thursday flow shifts to a southwesterly
direction and begins to advect warmer air in.

Good agreement amongst guidance at this point in time. Did nudge
wind speeds and gusts up Wednesday evening through Thursday. The NAM
and GFS show the possibility of gusts up to 30 knots as lapse rates
within the boundary layer are nearly adiabatic. Most confident that
gusts reach the surface over the ocean. Wind speeds will gradually
diminish as high pressure nudges in relaxing the pressure gradient
on Thursday.

High pressure builds into northern New England Thursday evening. The
focus shifts to a positively tilted trough over the western Great
Lakes and a shortwave lifting across the Southeastern US. The trough
over the western Great Lakes will dig into the eastern Great
Lakes/Mid Atlantic, while the shortwave lifts off the coast of
Virginia and North Carolina. These features will bring increasing
cloud cover to the region.

Friday into Saturday morning...

A neutrally tilted trough over the eastern Great Lakes/Mid Atlantic
will dig just south of southern New England by Friday evening. There
are some hints that the trough digging in from the Great Lakes/Mid
Atlantic could phase with the shortwave lifting offshore, but the
latest guidance does not really show this happen until the
developing system is well offshore. Details are still hazy on the
exact track of the system per the EPS, GEFS and differences between
deterministic guidance. Models have been trending with the surface
low sliding further offshore with the latest guidance coming in.

With the track of the system and the thermal profile in mind
expecting precipitation to initially be all rain. Flow aloft will be
southerly and advect warm air in initially. As the low deepens
offshore and lifts northeastward, flow aloft will gradually shift to
the east and eventually the north. Once winds shift to a northerly
direction colder air will advect in. Precipitation will gradually
change over to snow. This should occur Friday afternoon into the
evening.

Still uncertain on totals at this point in time as there is a lot of
spread viewing the GEFS and EPS plumes. Will need to hone these
details down to determine how much snow could accumulate. The low
lifts well offshore by early Saturday bringing precipitation to an
end. May need to increase chances of precipitation across Cape Cod
and the Islands as there may be ocean effect snow showers with
strong northerly flow and -15 to -10 degree Celsius 850 hPa air
advecting in.

It will be windy Friday and Saturday due to the tightened pressure
gradient across the region. Temperatures will be around normal
Friday with highs in the mid 30s across the eastern slopes of the
Berkshires and the 40s elsewhere.

Saturday afternoon through Monday...

High pressure builds in after the low exits, but temperatures remain
below normal on Saturday due to the strong northerly cold air
advection. Highs will generally be in the 30s and remain windy.

The pressure gradient really relaxes on Sunday as the surface high
slides into the Carolinas and offshore. Temperatures will quickly
rebound as flow aloft shifts to a southwesterly direction advecting
warmer air in. The southwesterly warm air advection continues into
Monday, which will continue the upward trend in temperatures. Highs
on Sunday range from the low 40s to the low 50s. Readings on Monday
will generally be in the 50s.

There is potential for precipitation late on Monday as a system
slides in from the west.

.AVIATION /18Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Forecaster Confidence Levels...

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

18Z Update...

Into Tonight...Moderate to high confidence.

VFR conditions continue through 21z. A cluster of showers will
then overspread the region from west to east through 01z. This
may be followed by a lull in the activity. Another round of
showers and perhaps a few embedded t-storms will follow from 03z
to 07z.

We should see conditions lower to low end MVFR-IFR thresholds
this evening. Some LIFR conditions are possible across southeast
New England in lower clouds and fog. Improvement will occur from
west to east after midnight as drier air works in from the west.
S winds at 5 to 15 knots this evening will be accompanied by
some LLWS across the southeast New England coast. Winds shift to
the west after midnight with gusts increasing to between 20 and
30 knots.

Wednesday...High confidence. VFR and dry with just the risk of
a spot rain/snow shower mainly across the east slopes of the
Berks. Otherwise...strong westerly wind gusts between 30 and 40
knots. Strongest of the winds will likely be in the high
terrain of central MA and into northeast MA.

Wednesday night...High confidence. VFR with westerly wind gusts
of 20 to 30 knots early in the evening diminishing by late
evening and into the overnight hours.

KBOS Terminal...Moderate to high confidence in TAF. Sea breeze
should dissipate by 22z. Showers arrive between 00z and 02z.

KBDL Terminal...Moderate to high confidence in TAF. Showers
arrive after 21z or 22z.
