Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Boston/Norton MA
1249 AM EST Tue Nov 21 2023

.SYNOPSIS...
Strong high pressure moves over New England tonight bringing a
cold night. Temperatures recover under early full sunshine early
on Tuesday, although clouds will be on the increase later in the
day. Low pressure will bring mostly rain tomorrow night into
Wednesday, but some accumulating snow is expected across the
high terrain Tuesday night at the onset. In addition...a period
of strong winds are expected along the coast Wednesday morning
especially towards the Cape and Islands. Dry and cool weather
anticipated for Thanksgiving into late week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THIS MORNING/...
940 PM update...

High pres builds over northern New Eng tonight with light north
winds. High clouds streaming into SNE which should keep temps
from getting as cold as they could under totally clear skies. As
a result we tweaked min temps upward a tad. Still cold with
lows ranging from 15-25F across SNE, a bit milder in Boston and
Cape and Islands. Scattered to broken ocean effect clouds will
continue to impact the Cape/Islands with sufficient cold air
over warmer SST, and temps at top of mixed layer changing little
overnight.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THIS MORNING THROUGH 6 PM WEDNESDAY/...
330 PM Update:

Tuesday:

Strong 1035+ mb ridge of high pressure over SNE to begin Tues,
with a cold start to the morning. Full sun at least early
should bring gradual warming, though as we move through the day
expect a steady increasing canopy of high to mid level clouds.
Those clouds should at least slow if not curb further warming.
There may be some lower cloud cover arriving later in the aftn,
but also noted that there is a lot of dry air below 800 mb and
that will be a factor when assessing onset timing and precip
type regarding our period of more active weather coming in for
tomorrow night. Due to the chilly start, highs may only reach
into the mid to upper 30s across the higher terrain sites in NW
MA/northern CT, and around low to mid 40s in the lower
elevations.

Tuesday Night through Wednesday:

Key Points:

* Minor snow accum (C-3", local 4") in the higher terrain,
  becoming steady Tue night/early Wed before changing to rain;
  any travel impact restricted to these higher elevation areas
  and along the Route 2 corridor during the overnight to early
  Wed AM period.

* Rainy conditions expected in lower elevations.

* SE gusts 35-45 mph pre-dawn to early Wed aftn along the MA/RI
  South Coast, Cape Cod and the Islands, though gusts to 50 mph
  could be possible. Any wind-related impact looks limited.

Primary low pressure expected to be over the lower Gt Lakes
region early Tue night lifts NE into the St. Lawrence Valley
overnight, giving way to a secondary area of low pressure near
the lower Hudson Valley early Wed. This secondary area of low
pressure then takes a track over or around the I-95 corridor on
Wed and then offshore by late in the day. This complex system is
expected to bring a higher elevation snow-to-rain scenario with
minor accumulation to be washed away, with mainly plain rain in
the lower elevations. In addition, a period of gusty SE to S
winds are anticipated, peaking for the early Wed AM to midday
period. This combo has the potential to be a nuisance for
Thanksgiving holiday travelers on one of if not the biggest
travel day of the year, although we are not anticipating
significant travel problems.

Precipitation...

Due to drier air in place - and it is a deep layer of dry air
below 800 mb - it seems likely that precip won't start any
sooner than late-evening (after 9 PM) in western CT and western
and central MA, amid increasing isentropic lift. Further east
from there into RI and eastern MA, may not see steadier
precipitation begin until around midnight or shortly thereafter.
This drier air eventually saturating up however should cool the
column through wet bulb effects in all areas, and help to lock
in surface sub-32F air in and around the higher terrain.

Steadier precipitation in and around the Berkshires and
northern hills of Worcester County should start as a dense, wet
snow at onset during the later-evening and overnight hours, and
could come down at a decent clip for a few hrs where minor
accumulation on roads has a better chance to occur. If there are
any significant travel problems it would probably be during
this evening to early-Wed AM period in the interior portion of
MA, but this minor snow accumulation should be washed away by
rain as temperatures steadily warm during the Wed mid morning
hrs. For these areas, latest snow forecast has a coating to 2
inches in most locations, with 2 to up to 4 inches above 1500 ft
elevation. This also meshes with most (non-NAM) model positive
snow depth change forecasts, and those often perform well in
these borderline/marginal-temperature/early-season snow events.
Will hold on any winter weather advisories for these elevation
locations for now since amounts are borderline for Advisory and
any minor snow to be washed away, but wouldn't rule out a need
for one given the holiday travel period. Certainly if travels
bring you into points further north and west into VT/NH where
colder air may be more entrenched, the potential for greater
accumulation exists, but it is looking like we'll be on the
fringe of those higher snow totals.

In the lower elevations and urban areas - expect a period of
steady rain to develop, although depending on the depth of dry
air, it wouldn't shock me if we see rain mixed with sleet
pellets for a time at the very early outset. But overall should
be almost entirely rain, steadiest during the morning to early
afternoon as secondary low moves ENE. Dryslot moves in during
the afternoon hrs, which should put an end to precipitation in
all areas, although indications are that post-frontal shallow
moisture becomes trapped underneath dry layer aloft which could
mean less optimistic outcome for clearing. Pretty moisture-
laden system with an inch to up to an inch and an half of rain.

Winds...

SE winds will pick up in speed in most areas Tue evening, to
more of a wind-driven rain with gusts 20-30 mph. The area where
the potential exists for gusts of 35-45 mph is along the
immediate south coast, Cape Cod and the Islands during the pre-
dawn to the early afternoon Wed hrs. This occurs in lockstep
with an advancing SE 950 mb jet of 50-60 kt! The challenge with
these scenarios is the strongest low level jet occurs in a
period where model forecast soundings show inverted temperature
profiles, which limits mixing of these jet to the surface to
some extent. That is again the case here, so there is still a
degree of uncertainty on gust speeds. Even if we can get into
the wind advisory range of 45-50 mph, impact from this stronger
gusts would probably be pretty limited. SE gusts should decrease
significantly as low pressure moves offshore, although later in
the day we get a period of cold-advection driven NW winds that
stand to increase.

Temperatures...

Expect highs on Wed to eventually reach into the low 40s around
the higher terrain, though it may take some time to get there.
Elsewhere, look for highs in the mid 40s to the mid 50s, warmest
along the immediate south coast.

&&

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

* Dry, cool, and breezy for Thanksgiving through at least Friday.

* Offshore low pressure should pass by sometime Sunday into Monday.

Trending drier for Thanksgiving into late this week as a low
pressure departs and a moisture-starved front passes by. The
details get a little fuzzy after then. The latest deterministic
runs have trended drier, keeping a low pressure farther
offshore. However, the ensembled solutions, still hold onto more
of a risk for precipitation this weekend, especially towards the
Cape and islands. Given the uncertainty in the overall synoptic
pattern, expecting it will take a couple of days for the timing
details to come into better focus. These timing details will
ultimately determine the track of an offshore low pressure, A
track farther offshore would mean a colder and drier forecast
into at least Sunday. For now, stayed closer to an ensemble
approach and kept at least some risk for precipitation this
weekend into early next week.

Near normal temperatures anticipated for Thursday, but the
majority of this portion of the forecast should have below
normal temperatures.
