Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Boston/Norton MA
727 PM EST Sat Feb 4 2023

.SYNOPSIS...
Not nearly as cold as last night, along with much less wind.
High pressure provides dry weather tonight followed by an
incredible rebound in temperatures Sunday, as the high moves
offshore and provides highs 45 to 50! Above normal temperatures
continue for most of the upcoming work week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SUNDAY MORNING/...
No major changes to the forecast this evening. Still expecting
temperatures to slowly rise overnight with an increasing
southwest wind. Mainly brought the forecast back in line with
observed trends. Just some mid and upper clouds at times, except
towards the Cape and islands, where some stratocumulus clouds
are expected to move in off the ocean for a time after
midnight.

345 PM update...

* Rising temps overnight with 24HR temp change at daybreak
  +35/+40

High pressure crest over the region this evening, then offshore
overnight. This will yield a return SW flow along with
increasing clouds. Definitely not as harsh as last night,
however temps will average about 5-10 degs colder than normal.
Coldest temps will be observed this evening, before SW winds
develop later this evening and overnight, resulting in rising
temps. In fact, from our predawn Saturday morning lows, temps 24
hours later (Sunday morning), will see a change of +35/+40 degs!
Quite impressive.

The SW flow combined with a lingering cold boundary layer, will
yield lots of ocean effect strato-cu and possibly a few snow
showers or flurries along/near the south coast overnight.
Otherwise, dry weather prevails elsewhere. SW winds will
increase to 20-30 mph overnight in the high terrain and areas
near the coast.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SUNDAY MORNING THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
345 PM update...

Highlights...

* Black Ice possible early-mid morning Sunday near south coast
* Much milder Sunday/Quite Breezy...highs well into 40s to near 50

As previous forecast noted, possible black ice Sunday morning
along/near the south coast. The issue is, SW winds begin to
advect dew pts above freezing into the south coast, frozen
ground may result in some surface condensation, that could yield
patchy black ice. Confidence is low on duration and areal
coverage of any black ice. Something we will have keep an eye
on.

Otherwise, big warm up Sunday with low level WAA yields 925 mb
temps rising from -5C at 12z to +6C at 21z! This will yields
45-50. Given the 925 mb temps, leaned toward the milder MOS
guidance to derive highs Sunday. Becoming breezy in response to
low level SW jet. Strongest winds along the south coast, 25-35
mph. Looks like lots of clouds early and late tomorrow, with
partial sunshine from late morning into the afternoon. Overall,
pleasant by early Feb standards and compared to Fri and Sat
weather.

Sunday night...

Dry weather in the evening, then northern and southern stream
moisture approach the region. Approaching trough remain
unphased, with best deep layer moisture and lift from the
southern stream, clipping the south coast and Islands.
Therefore, greatest chance of qpf is across this area. Ptype
would be all rain for this area. Otherwise, dry weather prevails
elsewhere. Min temps in the 30s, above freezing along and
southeast of I-95, with lows in the upper 20s and lower 30s to
the northwest of I-95, along with dry weather.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
345 PM update...

Highlights...

* Much warmer conditions continue through next week.

* Mostly dry with rain chances Tuesday night, and again late next
  week.

Details...

Mid level flow looks a little wavy over the CONUS next week.
Expecting several smaller mid level longwave troughs to pass our
region through mid week, which eventually sets the stage for a
strong surge of warmer air towards the end of next week. Meanwhile,
colder air should develop east of the rockies over the central USA.
Then it becomes an issue of timing and how much the airmass will
moderate as it heads our way towards next weekend. Overall,
expecting above normal temperatures through this portion of the
forecast, especially for the overnight low temperatures.

Precipitation-wise, rainfall will be the favored type. Still looking
at late Tuesday into Tuesday night as an opportunity, when a
shortwave and weak cold front move across southern New England. Late
next week looks complicated. One low pressure should move through
the Great Lakes into northern New England late Thursday into Friday,
dragging its associated front through our region. A second low
pressure may then develop along the first cold front off the NJ/DE
coast sometime Saturday. Am not expecting it to be raining the
entire time Thursday into Saturday, but do not have enough
confidence to pinpoint when those breaks might be at this juncture.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
Forecaster Confidence Levels:

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

Tonight...high confidence.

VFR and dry thru about 03z, then marginal VFR/MVFR cigs for
south coast RI/MA along with spotty light snow showers/flurries
06z-12z. Otherwise, SW winds of 5-15 knots with some 20-25
knots gusts developing overnight, especially near the south
coast and across the high terrain.

Sunday...High Confidence.

VFR. SW wind gusts of 20 to 30 knots developing by afternoon,
with some gusts around 35 knots near the south coast and high
terrain.

Sunday night...high confidence.

VFR and dry most terminals, except south coast and especially
Cape Cod and Islands, where a period of rain is possible with
MVFR/IFR conditions. Gusty SW winds 15-25 kt at 00z, becoming
light west late.

KBOS Terminal...High Confidence in TAF.

KBDL Terminal...High Confidence in TAF.

Outlook /Monday through Thursday/...

Monday through Monday Night: VFR. Breezy.

Tuesday: VFR. Windy with local gusts up to 30 kt.

Tuesday Night: Mainly VFR, with local MVFR possible. Windy with
gusts up to 30 kt. Chance RA.

Wednesday: VFR. Breezy.

Wednesday Night: VFR.

Thursday: Mainly VFR, with local MVFR possible. Breezy. Chance
RA.

&&

.MARINE...
Forecaster Confidence Levels:

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

Highlights...

* Light Freezing Spray & Gale Force Wind Gusts eastern MA waters

Tonight and Sunday...High Confidence.

High pressure moves east and away from the Mid Atlantic coast
tonight into Sunday. At the same time, low pressure tracks
across the eastern Great Lakes into Quebec. This induces a
modest southwest LLJ. Best chance of SW gales appears to be
across the eastern MA waters, with lower probability elsewhere.

Sunday night...

SW winds diminish as low pressure develop off the NC coast. Rain
likely late across the RI and southern MA waters.

Outlook /Monday through Thursday/...

Monday: Winds less than 25 kt. Areas of seas approaching 5 ft.

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

Tuesday: Winds less than 25 kt. Seas up to 5 ft.

Tuesday Night: Moderate risk for Small Craft Advisory winds
with gusts up to 30 kt. Areas of rough seas. Slight chance of
rain.

Wednesday: Low risk for Small Craft Advisory winds with gusts
up to 30 kt. Local rough seas.

Wednesday Night: Winds less than 25 kt. Seas locally
approaching 5 ft.

Thursday: Low risk for Small Craft Advisory winds with gusts up
to 25 kt. Seas locally approaching 5 ft. Chance of rain.
