Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Boston/Norton MA
324 AM EST Sat Jan 15 2022

.SYNOPSIS...
Dry weather but blustery and frigid this afternoon. A strong
storm will impact the region late Sunday night into Monday with
heavy snow over the higher elevations and mainly rain in the
coastal plain, with strong to damaging winds along the coast as
well as coastal flooding. Blustery and cold weather returns
Tuesday followed by milder air Wednesday. A weak frontal system
moves through the region Wednesday night followed by colder
weather Thursday and Friday.

&&

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

Quiet day today weatherwise as high pressure edges into the eastern
US. This will support clear and dry conditions for southern New
England. However a deep northwest flow pattern will continue to
advect cold Arctic air into the region. This will make for a bitter
cold start to the weekend. The cold conditions will be
exacerbated by a fairly tight pressure gradient between the
high pressure building in from the west and a deep low pressure
system over the Atlantic waters. Expecting sustained winds out
of the northwest from 10-20 mph. This will support negative wind
chill temperatures below zero for nearly all of southern New
England for the entire day. Wind chill advisory in effect across
the interior until noon time.

While most of the region will remain dry today there is a good
chance for some ocean effect snow showers to develop over the outer
Cape and perhaps portions of southeastern MA. This will be the
product of instability generated by the relatively warmer ocean
waters sitting beneath the arctic air mass being advected from the
north/northwest. Any snow accumulations should generally be less
than 1 inch.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM SUNDAY/...
Tonight

Arctic air mass in place will support another night with low
temperatures flirting with 0 degrees F or lower. The wind chill
factor will not be as extreme tonight as high pressure settles
over the region resulting in a relaxing pressure gradient.
Nonetheless, modest 5-10 mph northwest winds will support wind
chill temperatures below 0 for of the region.

Tomorrow

After a chilly start we'll see temperatures rebound tomorrow as
surface high pressure slides east resulting in a gradual wind
shift from northwest to southeast. Expect temperatures to
increase to values closer to normal for mid-January. Currently
expecting highs to top out in the mid 20s to mid 30s from
northwest to southeast. High pressure influence continues to
produce dry conditions tomorrow as well.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
Big Picture...

Closed upper low over the Southern Appalachians moves up the chain
and into the Hudson and Champlain Valleys. Upper ridge builds east
of Srn New England, turning the upper flow south-to-north. This
system sweeps into Nrn New England Monday night, with the trailing
upper trough crossing Srn New England at that same time.

Weak upper ridge builds over the Northeast USA Tuesday. A weak cold
front then moves through the region late Wednesday or early
Thursday. Otherwise, quiet weather the rest of the week.

Mass fields are similar through Tuesday, then turn different the
latter half of the week. Confidence is moderate to high through
Tuesday, then diminishes the rest of the week.

Details...

Sunday night-Monday...

Southern shortwave moves up the Eastern Seaboard Sunday night. Dry
air lingers the first half of the night. Moisture is focused
above 700-mb at 00z, so expect increasing high clouds early at
night, with the east to southeast wind bringing milder temps and
lower-level moisture overnight.

Precipitation moves into CT and Wrn Mass 10PM to 1 AM, then spreads
across the rest of Srn New England 1AM to 4 AM. Cold air from the
departing high pressure may hold in for a couple of hours...12Z
ECMWF shows a hint of cold air damming from SE NH through Wrn
MA/NWrn CT, so there may be an initial period of snow. The
increasing low level east-southeast winds warms the airmass Monday
morning, so expect the snow to change to rain by that time. Best
chance for this changeover will be in Eastern and Central MA, RI,
and much of CT. Depending on the storm track, snow may linger in the
Berkshire East Slopes longest. The higher snow totals are most
likely in this area, with 6+ inches possible in the Berkshire East
Slopes. Just an initial inch or two possible before changeover in
the coastal plain.

We will continue the Winter Storm Watch for the East Slopes to Nrn
Worcester Hills for Sunday night and Monday...including the Monday
morning rush hour.

Bufkit shows patches of freezing rain in Western and Central MA
Monday morning during the transition to rain. Confidence in this is
rather low, as it may be an artifact of the transition. Something
else to monitor.

Low level east-southeast winds move in later Sunday night and Monday
morning, with winds at 2000 feet AGL at 75 to 85 kt. Winds shift out
of the southwest in the afternoon, with low level winds of 40-50 kt
forecast. So surface gusts of 40-50 kt/45-60 mph are possible. This
will bring in PW values of 0.8 inches inland and around 1 inch along
the coast. Not bad for January...and suggests plenty of rain fed
into Srn New England in the strong wind.

Tuesday through Friday...

High pressure builds over Srn New England Tuesday. This will bring
subsidence and diminishing wind. Dry weather from the high continues
on Wednesday as well.

A weak cold front moves through the region Wednesday night. This
may bring a few flurries. Dry weather continues Thursday and Friday.

High pressure builds over Srn New England Tuesday evening. Gusty
west winds should diminish as the high moves in. With increasing
subsidence, expect a sunny day Tuesday.

A weak cold front moves through on Wednesday night. Expect
increasing clouds and milder temps Wednesday, and possibly some
widely scattered light snow/flurries Wednesday night. Drier and
colder air then returns on Thursday and Friday.

&&

.AVIATION /09Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
Low - less than 30 percent.
Medium - 30 to 60 percent.
High - greater than 60 percent.

06z TAF Update:

Through 12Z:

Mostly VFR with some MVFR ceilings to 025 possible over The
Cape and Islands. Interior terminals will continue to see
northwest wind gusts up to 30 knots. Cape/Island terminals may
see gusts as high as 40 knots through 12Z.

Saturday High confidence.

Mostly VFR with some MVFR ceilings over The Cape and Islands
through late morning/early afternoon. Gusts from 20-25 knots
from the northwest continue over the interior early today but
gradually fall as the afternoon progresses. Higher gusts over
The Cape and islands in the 25-30 knot range. Ocean effect snow
showers expected for the outer Cape, but not expected to reach
FMH or HYA.

Saturday Night High confidence

VFR. Gusty northwest winds early tonight gradually diminish to
light northwest winds by Sunday morning.

.MARINE...
Forecaster Confidence Levels.

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

Marine

Today

Gale force winds and rough seas diminish this morning into early
afternoon as a deep-low pressures system over The Atlantic waters
continues east. Extremely cold temperatures and moderate northwest
winds will continue to support moderate to heavy freezing spray
through this evening.

Tonight

Freezing spray threat gradually diminishes overnight as high
pressure builds over the coastal waters resulting in diminishing
wind speeds. Nonetheless, could still see some areas with light
freezing spray before dawn.

Sunday

High pressure dominates the coastal waters tomorrow. This will
support rather calm conditions for January. Winds gradually shift
from northwest to southeast as high pressure continues east over the
Atlantic waters.

Outlook /Sunday Night through Wednesday/...

Sunday Night: Low risk for gale force winds with gusts up to
45 kt. Areas of rough seas. Rain.

Martin Luther King Jr Day: Low risk for storm force winds with
areas of gusts up to 60 kt. Rough seas up to 26 ft. Rain.

Monday Night: Strong winds with gusts up to 30 kt. Rough seas
up to 18 ft. Slight chance of rain showers. Local visibility
1 to 3 nm.

Tuesday: Strong winds with gusts up to 30 kt. Rough seas up to
15 ft.

Tuesday Night: Low risk for Small Craft Advisory winds with
gusts up to 25 kt. Rough seas up to 11 ft.

Wednesday: Low risk for Small Craft Advisory winds with gusts
up to 25 kt. Areas of rough seas.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
Low level east-southeast jet with 75-85 kt winds Sunday night and
Monday. The wind will generate a 2 to 3 foot surge. Seas will
build off both coasts, reaching 20 feet. All of this points to
potential for minor flood levels on both the east and south
coast. Too early for any headlines for coastal flooding, but
expect these will eventually be issued.
