Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Boston/Norton MA
137 AM EST Mon Nov 21 2022

.SYNOPSIS...
A reinforcing surge of cold air invades the region through
Sunday night, accompanied by blustery NW winds, wind chills in
the single digits and teens, along with a brief snow shower or
flurry. Then not as cold or blustery through mid week. Cool but
dry conditions expected on Thanksgiving. A coastal low is
possible Friday into early Saturday, then a drying trend next
weekend and also trending blustery and colder.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TODAY/...
130 AM update...

Turning out to be a rather quiet night of weather. The Lake
Ontario snow band that led to minor snow accumulations across
portions of the Hudson Valley has for the most part failed to
make it past the Berkshires. It remains gusty along the coast
but the winds should become light shortly after daybreak for all
areas.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...

* Cold & Blustery Overnight

Tonight...

Modified arctic airmass continues to overspread the region, with dew
pts from about -5C to the single digits. Strong CAA continues and
peaks around 06z, with 850 mb temps bottoming out around -14C. Thus,
very cold night ahead along with wind chills in the single digits
and teens, cold by late Nov standards. Min temps overnight a bit
tricky, as winds may drop off during the predawn hours, as high
pressure builds into the region. Not expecting winds to completely
drop off, so split the difference between the coldest guidance (MOS)
and NBM. This yields lows in the teens for much of the area, with
20s along the immediate coast, including the urban areas, Cape Cod
and Islands.

Regarding the blustery WNW winds, we will the wind advisory going
for marginal wind gusts of 35-40 kt, especially given strong CAA
continues thru 06z. Winds then slowly slacken during the predawn
hours, except remaining breezy Cape Cod and Islands.

This WNW wind trajectory is coming across Lake Ontario and is
producing a long streamer across NYS into northwest MA and VT. Thus,
can't rule out a few snow showers/flurries across northern MA this
evening. Not expecting any impacts.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH 6 PM TUESDAY/...
3:15 PM update...

Monday...

* Cold morning but temps recovering in the afternoon
* Light winds in the morning, then becoming windy late

Next northern stream short wave approaches from the northwest,
yielding WAA and flow shifting to the SW. Still cold aloft, so
another blustery day in the afternoon, although not as windy as
today. Not as chilly as today either, as 925 mb temps rise from -9C
at 12z to -1C by 00z. Thus, low level WAA combined with sunshine
will yield highs in the upper 30s to lower 40s, although 45-50 for
the south coast and Islands, as winds shift to the SW off the
relatively mild ocean. Although, it will feel cooler given the
blustery conditions. SW winds could gusts up to 35 mph late in the
day across Cape Cod and the Islands.

SW winds off the ocean may yield ocean effect strato-cu for Cape Cod
and Islands, thus more clouds there than the remainder of the
region.

Monday night...

Dry short wave passage, thus no sensible weather, other than gusty
SW winds in the evening, possibly up to 45 mph across Cape Cod and
the Islands. Therefore, may need a wind advisory for this area.
Temps hold steady or rise slightly in the evening in low level WAA
pattern ahead of short wave. Could see temps in the low 50s across
the Islands before the wind shift to the NW. Not as cold with lows
in the 20s, 30s for Cape Cod and the Islands.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
3:15 PM update...

Highlights...

*Dry through Thanksgiving then a coastal storm brings rain, gusty
winds, coastal impacts, and a potential wintry mix to southern New
England Friday into Saturday.

*Slight warming trend through mid-week, peaking on Wednesday. Still
a good deal of uncertainty around the late week coastal storm.

Details...

Tuesday through Thursday...

We're looking at a quiet and near average stretch of weather leading
into the Thanksgiving holiday this year under largely zonal flow
aloft and the influence of high pressure at the surface.
Temperatures will be on a slow and steady incline, peaking on
Wednesday in the upper 40s in the high elevations and low 50s
elsewhere. Normals for late November are in the upper 40s and low
50s which is right around where we'll be, if a bit below normal on
Thanksgiving. Winds will also diminish by Tuesday as the high is
centered overhead before moving off, but winds won't be an issue
clear through Thanksgiving. Light winds, a mix of clouds and sun,
and highs in the upper 40s and low 50s will be the story on
Thanksgiving day.

Friday through Sunday...

Big changes on the horizon to end the holiday week as zonal flow
becomes much more meridional with the digging of a very deep,
neutrally tilted mid level trough from the Great Lakes down into the
Gulf of Mexico on Friday. Ahead of it and its surface reflection a
secondary coastal low forms off the coast of the Carolinas,
strengthening as it lifts into the mid-Atlantic and eventually New
England. Even though this system is depicted in all the global
guidance, there remains a great deal of uncertainty on the finer
details including precip type (all rain? wintry mix to rain? other?)
and timing of the heaviest precipitation, all to be determined by
the eventual track of the low. There remains a huge spread on the
low track in EPS and GEFS from well SE of the 70/40 benchmark to up
the Hudson Valley. All this to say, we'll be keeping an eye on it
but unsettled weather is looking more likely. After that system
moves through drier weather looks to return to end the weekend.
