Area forecast discussion, Dec 4, 4:15 AM EST, 7 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Boston/Norton MA
415 AM EST Fri Dec 4 2020
.SYNOPSIS...
Areas of light rain move in late today into tonight ahead of the
next storm. A strong storm system will impact the region Saturday
into Saturday night bringing heavy rain and strong winds along the
coast, with potential for significant snow accumulation in the
interior. The storm exits Sunday, then mainly dry and colder weather
Monday and Tuesday with a moderating trend Wednesday.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
* Unseasonably mild and cloudy with light rain spreading in from
southwest to northeast by the afternoon.
Northern stream trough digs across the eastern Great Lakes, with a
shortwave from a closed low over Missouri/Arkansas tracking across
the Midwest. The southern stream energy rounds the base of the
positively tilted H5 trough that stretches from Quebec into Indiana
this afternoon into evening. At the surface, a warm front lifts
north into the Mid Atlantic states. Clouds will increase and there
is a chance of a few showers by late in the afternoon, with rain
chances increasing from southwest to northeast. 925mb LLJ increases
to 30-35 kts along the south coast as warm air advection occurs.
Expect unseasonably mild temperatures with highs generally in the
50s across the CWA, with Eastern MA and RI topping out in the mid
50s.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
* A rapidly intensifying storm system will produce gusty winds
and heavy rain, changing to a period of accumulating snow,
heavy at times by Saturday afternoon into evening.
A higher than usual amount of uncertainty still exists with how
exactly the potential weekend storm will unfold despite being 24 to
36 hours out. This is due to the models struggling to handle the
complex interaction of northern and southern stream energy and
potential phasing in a rather chaotic negative NAO regime. In
addition, there is a lack of cold air injection beforehand, which
means that the system has to generate its own cold air from its
sheer intensity and dynamic cooling of the atmospheric column.
We are increasingly confident of the following, however. Firstly,
the low pressure will likely track inside of the 70W/40N benchmark,
which is typically used as a reference for accumulating snow along
the I-95 corridor in RI and MA. Secondly, this is going to be a
highly dynamic system, which means despite marginal temperatures,
there will likely be a period of heavy snowfall rates from mesoscale
banding. The challenge is, however, where the axis of heavy snow
will fall and consequently, the possibility for power outages
with the loading effect of the heavy, wet snow.
With a rapidly deepening cyclone, the latent heat release from the
convection will likely lead to downstream ridging and if anything,
reinforces the possibility of a more inland track (inside the
70W/40N benchmark). The dynamics are very impressive. The guidance
is pretty much unanimous in showing 30-40 units of omega in the
dendritic snow growth zone. So we have high confidence there is
going to be a mesoscale band of 2 inches per hour snowfall rate. Of
course, the big question is where will this band set up. 00z HREF
Probability Matched Mean shows a 6-12 inches zone in Worcester
county and significantly cut down on QPF amounts in Western MA. Based
on the model trends, we boosted the snowfall amounts between
Worcester and metrowest Boston and consequently, expand the
Winter Storm Watches to along the MA/CT border and into
metrowest Boston. Nonetheless, we cannot discount the
possibility that the forecast storm track shifts west again so
we kept the Winter Storm Watches across the Western zones.
Finally, high wind potential exists, especially near the coast as
the surface cyclone rapidly deepens. This is why we hoisted a High
Wind Watch for the MA South Shore into the Cape and the Islands.
&&
.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
No changes to long term portion of the forecast as main focus was
placed on upcoming storm.
Looks quiet for much of the extended period with blustery and cold
conditions Sunday into early next week, then a moderating trend
around midweek. Another amplifying shortwave will result in a storm
offshore around the Tue time frame that will have to be monitored. A
westward shift would bring the risk of accumulating snow to SNE.
&&
.AVIATION /09Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
Forecaster Confidence Levels...
Low - less than 30 percent.
Moderate - 30 to 60 percent.
High - greater than 60 percent.
High confidence through 00z Saturday. Then moderate confidence.
Through about 18z Friday...VFR area wide. Thin cirrus will
slowly transition to thicker mid level cloud deck early this
morning. Southwest winds generally light, though some gusts
near 20 kts possible across the Cape and Islands.
After 18z Friday...clouds will continue to lower and thicken.
MVFR ceilings develop from west to east. Should start to see
some light rain develop across the western half of the region
by late afternoon. No visibility restrictions however.
After 00z Saturday...Lowering to widespread MVFR and IFR
conditions as rain overspreads the area. Conditions deteriorate
to LIFR as rain changes over to snow, heavy at times from 18z

* Gale Warnings for all waters Saturday into early Sunday.
A strong storm system will likely affect Southern New England
Saturday into early Sunday. Winds will be WSW to SW on Friday
with speeds of 15-20 kts and gusts of 20-25 kts. Wave heights
generally 4-6 feet with the highest waves across the outer
waters.
Winds diminish to 5-15 kts Friday night ahead of the incoming system
and the direction gradually shifts to the NE with gusts of 10-15
kts. Seas falling to 3-4 feet across the eastern waters and remain
around 4-6 feet across the southern waters.
By Saturday afternoon, seas build to 10-12 feet over the
southern waters then 11-16 feet across all waters as winds turn
northeast with a rapidly strengthening low pressure center that
is expected to track just inside the 70W/40N benchmark. Winds
will gust to over 40 kts. Storm-force gusts are not out of the
question on Saturday evening across the open waters but
confidence is not high enough for Storm headlines.
Outlook /Sunday through Tuesday/...
Sunday: Moderate risk for Small Craft Advisory winds with gusts
up to 30 kt. Rough seas up to 11 ft.
Sunday Night: Low risk for Small Craft Advisory winds with
gusts up to 25 kt. Areas of rough seas.
