Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Boston/Norton MA
1241 PM EST Wed Dec 20 2023

.SYNOPSIS...
A prolonged period of mainly dry weather will continue through
the Holiday Weekend. A brief period of colder than normal
temperatures are on tap for Thursday and Friday before
temperatures moderate this weekend into early next week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
955 AM update...

Ocean effect clouds are widespread across Cape Cod into
portions of SE MA this morning. 925 mb RH field capturing these
clouds very well and indicates drier air moving in from the west
leading to cloud cover gradually diminishing this afternoon.
Otherwise, expect mostly sunny skies.

The airmass is not that cold for this time of year with 925T on
the order of 0C to -2C. Despite the low December sun angle we
should see afternoon highs top off mainly in the lower to middle
40s. N-NW winds will gust to between 20 and 30 mph across the
Cape/Islands with good transfer over the relatively mild ocean.
Across the rest of the region N-NW winds should gust between 15
and 20 mph.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM THURSDAY/...
Key Points...

* Blustery & turning colder tonight with lows mainly in the 20s
* Sunny, quite blustery & cold Thu with highs in the 30s

Tonight...

A 1045 MB high pressure system will be moving southeast into
Quebec tonight. This coupled with a distant offshore low
pressure system will allow shallow cold air to push southward
into our region on a gusty N-NW wind. Overnight low temps should
drop mainly into the 20s. N-NW winds should gust between 20 and
25 mph, but between 25 and 35 mph across the Cape, and 35-40
mph on Nantucket. This will result in wind chills down into the
middle teens to lower 20s by daybreak Thursday across most of
our region. Mainly clear skies tonight except for another
period of ocean effect clouds for the Cape/Nantucket.

Thursday...

A sunny, but breezy and cold day is on tap for Thursday. A
strong high pressure system close to 1045 mb across Quebec will
continue to combined with a distant offshore low pressure
system. This will result in N-NW wind gusts of 20-30 mph across
most of the region...but between 30 and 40 mph across the Cape
and Islands. The low December sun angle and shallow delivery of
the airmass on N-NW winds will keep high temps in the 30s on
Thursday. These temps will be about 5 degrees below normal for
this time of year. Wind chills will remain in the 20s through
the afternoon to usher in the first day of winter.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
Key Points...

* Quiet and dry weather continues through Christmas

* Below normal temperatures to end the week then temperatures
  moderate through the weekend.

A sprawling surface high pressure with mid level ridging over the
eastern U.S. Thursday through Christmas Day (Tuesday) will provide
the subsidence and dry air needed to keep precipitation chances
mostly out of the forecast for the entire long term forecast period.
This is good news for those planning to travel ahead of and during
the holiday weekend. The only disruption in this pattern will be a
weak shortwave approaching from the west on Saturday into Sunday.
While it is accompanied by a marginal increase in moisture (PWATs up
to 0.5 inches) the meager moisture and lack of strong dynamics
should limit any rain or interior snow showers to a light and hit-
and-miss nature. More likely is that most will see an increase in
cloud cover.

Temperature-wise we'll end the week colder than normal thanks to
northerly flow around the high and exiting low pressure. Highs
temperatures on Friday will be similar to Thursday, in the mid to
upper 30s. Each day following SNE will become milder as the high
shifts overhead and then flow becomes southerly. This moderates
temperatures, giving highs in the low 40s by Saturday, upper 40s by
Sunday into the Christmas holiday.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
Forecast Confidence Levels:

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

12z TAF Update...

Through Thursday night...High confidence.

VFR through the period, but sct-bkn MVFR cigs over Cape Cod and
ACK this afternoon and again late tonight into Thu morning.
Increasing N-NW winds tonight into Thu with gusts to 25 kt
along the immediate coast, and 30-35 kt outer Cape and ACK.
Diminishing wind Thu night.

KBOS TAF...High confidence in TAF.

KBDL TAF...High confidence in TAF.

Outlook /Friday through Sunday/...

Friday through Saturday: VFR.

Saturday Night through Sunday: Mainly VFR, with local MVFR
possible.

&&

.MARINE...
Forecaster Confidence Levels:

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

Today through Thursday...High Confidence.

Strong high pressure approaching 1045 MB will drop southeast
into Quebec tonight. This will combined with a distant offshore
low pressure system to produce a modest pressure gradient. N-NW
winds will increase and gust between 25 and 35 knots tonight
into Thursday. Gale Warnings are posted for our eastern waters
later tonight into Thursday with strong small craft headlines
for our western waters. Seas will be quite rough too building to
between 6 and 12 feet across the outer-waters by Thursday.

Outlook /Thursday Night through Sunday/...

Thursday Night: Low risk for Small Craft Advisory winds with
gusts up to 30 kt. Rough seas up to 12 ft.

Friday: Winds less than 25 kt. Areas of rough seas.

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

Saturday through Sunday: Winds less than 25 kt.
