What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this storm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Boston/Norton, MA wrote its last area forecast discussion before this storm warning went out at Dec 10, 3:54 AM EST, 1 minute earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Dec 10, 3:54 AM EST, 1 minute before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Boston/Norton MA
354 AM EST Sun Dec 10 2023
.SYNOPSIS...
Multifaceted storm to impact southern New England today into
Monday with heavy rain, strong to damaging winds, and perhaps a
touch of snow across western MA. Otherwise, turning drier
Monday afternoon and trending colder into the middle of next
week. Temperatures likely moderating towards the end of next
week.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TODAY/...
Latest guidance suite has slightly sped up the arrival time of
rainfall across southern New England slightly. Still favoring
rainfall to arrive from west to east during this afternoon.
Latest guidance suite has also raised concerns about how much
rainfall is possible. That will be further discussed in the
Hydrology section below.
Not much chance for sunshine today. Areas of fog across RI and
southeast MA likely to stick around most of the day. Fog across
the CT River Valley and interior MA should briefly dissipate
later this morning, just before the rainfall moves back in.
Expecting the brunt of the strongest winds to hold off during
this portion of the forecast.
Despite the clouds, increasing southerly winds should boost
temperatures above normal. Should temperatures rise even higher,
that would pose a greater risk for stronger winds due to deeper
mixing within the boundary layer. Consensus winds of 50-60 kt at
925 mb expected to be in place over RI and SE MA by late
afternoon/early evening.
&&
.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH 6 PM MONDAY/...
Tonight is likely going to be messy as a multifaceted storm
reaches its peak. Periods of heavy rainfall at times and
increasing southerly winds.
Operational HREF LPMM rainfall forecasts have increased the
magnitude of maximum rainfall potential to as much as 5-7
inches. Many of the other members of the 10/00Z guidance suite
have also increased rainfall totals. The EMC HREF showed a 70-80
percent chance for 5+ inches somewhere across northern CT into
western and central MA, and even a 10-20 percent chance for
totals over 8 inches. The threat for freshwater flooding is
concerning, so the Flood Watch continues.
Winds rapidly increase this evening, and especially late
tonight, as a low pressure passes by. A strong cold front then
marches east after midnight, likely reaching the coast towards
noon. Expecting a sharp shift to winds from the west.
Operational HREF showed a 70-80 percent chance of wind gusts of
60+ mph across far SE MA, including the Cape and islands. Thus,
issued a High Wind Warning for these areas. Surrounded this
warning with a Wind Advisory for areas slightly farther inland.
The strongest winds look to be during a window from after
midnight into mid morning Monday.
Colder air arrives quickly behind this cold front, which should
lead to a period of sleet or snowfall across the east slopes of
the Berkshires late tonight into Monday. By then, drier air
should also be moving into southern New England. Thus limiting
the time for appreciable snowfall. Still thinking 1-3 inches
possible at most across the highest elevation of the Berkshires.
Above normal low temperatures tonight, with falling temperatures
during the day Monday. There should be a tale of two seasons
Monday morning, with areas east of this cold front still in the
50s, with readings in the 30s and 40s to west of this front.
Expecting temperatures in the 30s region-wide by evening.
&&
.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
Key Points...
* Quiet, mainly dry weather into next weekend
* Temps below normal with coldest day on Thu, then moderating to
above normal levels Fri and Sat
After mid level trough exits Mon night, a broad trough sets up
across the Gt Lakes then amplifies somewhat as it moves east
into New Eng late Wed/Wed night. This will push a cold front
through SNE Wed which will bring coldest temps of the week Wed
night into Thu, well below normal. Then a moderating trend Fri
into Sat as a deamplifying ridge across south central Canada
slides ESE into the Gt Lakes and New Eng leading to temps
recovering to above normal levels. Overall, much of the entire
extended period will feature dry weather as PWATs will remain
well below normal. The only risk for a few snow showers will be
on Wed across interior high terrain with cold frontal passage.
&&
.AVIATION /07Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
Forecast Confidence Levels:
Low - less than 30 percent.
Moderate - 30 to 60 percent.
High - greater than 60 percent.
Today into Monday...High confidence in trends. Moderate
confidence in timing.
Mix of conditions from VFR ceilings all the way down to IFR in
areas of fog and stratus. Fog will be slow to dissipate this
morning due to lack of sunshine and increasing humidity over a
relatively colder ground. Expecting most of today to feature
MVFR/IFR conditions with rainfall arriving from W to E between
16-20Z. Increasing southerly winds through today.
Mainly IFR tonight into Monday morning. Improvement to VFR as a
cold front cross our region. Biggest improvement should occur
between 16-20Z Monday. The Monday morning push expected to be
impacted by strong to damaging winds.
Southerly LLWS this evening towards the south coast of New
England of 50-60 kt at 2 kft. This could increase to as much as
70-85 kt towards mid morning Monday. The main area to be
impacted should be from KBVY-KSFZ-KWST to the south and east.
KBOS Terminal...High confidence in trends. Moderate confidence
in timing. LLWS around 35+ kt not out of the question after 20Z
today into Monday morning, but not enough confidence to put it
in the TAF just yet.
KBDL Terminal...High confidence in trends. Moderate confidence
in timing.
Outlook /Monday Night through Thursday/...
Monday Night: VFR. Windy with gusts up to 35 kt.
Tuesday through Wednesday: VFR. Breezy.
Wednesday Night: VFR. Windy with gusts up to 30 kt.
Thursday: VFR. Windy with local gusts up to 30 kt.
&&
.MARINE...
Forecaster Confidence Levels:
Low - less than 30 percent.
Medium - 30 to 60 percent.
High - greater than 60 percent.
Dangerous storm for mariners expected to impact the waters
mainly tonight into Monday. Storm Watches converted to Storm
Warnings for most waters. The exception being Boston Harbor,
where a Gale Warning has been posted. Rainfall overspreads the
waters this afternoon and evening, leading to poor visibility.
There is even a low risk (10-20%) for thunderstorms, especially
across the southern coastal waters.
An abrupt and significant shift in winds is expected mid to
late day Monday as a cold front crosses the waters. Seas
gradually diminish through the day Monday, but will still be
rough on the waters.
Outlook /Monday Night through Thursday/...
Monday Night: Low risk for gale force winds with gusts up to
40 kt. Rough seas up to 14 ft.
Tuesday: Winds less than 25 kt. Seas up to 5 ft.
Tuesday Night: Moderate risk for Small Craft Advisory winds
with local gusts up to 30 kt. Seas up to 5 ft.
Wednesday through Wednesday Night: Moderate risk for Small
Craft Advisory winds with gusts up to 30 kt. Seas up to 5 ft.
Thursday: Moderate risk for Small Craft Advisory winds with
gusts up to 30 kt. Areas of seas approaching 5 ft.
&&
.HYDROLOGY...
The risk for rapid brook and stream rises, as well as poor
drainage and urban flooding, is elevated from tonight into
Monday. Most locations within interior southern New England
should see 2-4 inches of rainfall. Farther SE, rainfall totals
should be 2 inches or less, mainly due to the duration of
rainfall. Some signals in the latest guidance for a risk of 5+
inches somewhere across northern CT and central and western MA.
Will be monitoring this threat closely over the next 24 hours
or so.
Rainfall of this magnitude during this time of year, where the
ground may be partially frozen or debris may be clogging storm
drains, only magnifies the runoff and lesses the time before
rises on smaller stream and creeks.
&&

* Coastal Flood Advisory for Narragansett Bay and south coast
Latest guidance suggests the peak surge for Providence will be
near the time of high tide. There is still some uncertainty with
exact timing and it could end up a few hours earlier or later
depending on the timing of the cold front and wind shift.
However, our confidence is high that peak surge will reach up to
3 ft at Providence and 1.5 to 2.5 ft elsewhere along the RI and
MA south coast. We think the ETSS and ESTOFS surge guidance is
underdone and we leaned toward PETSS 90th percentile given the
strong southerly LLJ and 24 hr pressure falls of 24-26 mb,
which will enhance the surge. The highest confidence for minor
flooding will be along Narragansett Bay due to
funneling/channeling up the Bay with southerly flow. The risk
for moderate flooding is rather low so we converted the coastal
flood watch to an advisory. We would need a 4+ ft surge to reach
moderate flooding and this appears unlikely at this time.
The flood threat is lower outside of Narragansett Bay where
surge will be less. Worst case scenario would be very minor
flooding or splashover along the RI south coast west of
Narragansett Bay as well as Buzzards Bay and the south coast of
Cape Cod.
