Area forecast discussion, Dec 20, 6:52 PM EST, 2 hours 44 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Boston/Norton MA
652 PM EST Fri Dec 20 2024
.SYNOPSIS...
An offshore coastal storm will continue to bring light snow
accumulations this afternoon through the early morning hours of
Saturday followed by very cold weather into early next week. A weak
clipper system moves through Christmas Eve and will likely
bring light snow accumulations to the region. Temperatures
slowly moderate through the week back into the 30s and 40s
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SATURDAY MORNING/...
630 PM update...
Still seeing ocean enhanced snow bands moving westward across
Boston and SW suburbs, while heavier snow gradually shifts to
SE coastal MA and Cape/Islands as deepening low pres makes its
closest approach tracking just SE of the Benchmark. Additional
snow accum of 1-3 inches is expected across much of eastern MA
tonight, with locally up to 4 inches possible on the upper Cape
and portions of eastern Norfolk and northern Plymouth counties
where enhanced bands continue to rotate in from the ocean. The
snow will begin to taper off around midnight along I-95 corridor
3-4 am over the Cape/Islands.
Previous discussion...
Key Messages...
* Light to moderate snow will impact much of SNE this evening into
the overnight hours dropping 2 to 5 inches of snow.
The big picture for the next 12 hours is that we'll haver periods of
rain and snow continuing for the next several hours, then
transitioning to all snow with sunset and falling temperatures.
Since this morning's update snow totals have been increased, mainly
for eastern MA where some banding is setting up on top of ocean
effect snow.
We're dealing with two mechanisms for snow production today (which
made for a unique radar look earlier as we had snow showers
converging from east and west). The bulk of the snow so far
experienced for those north of the coastal front (currently draped
from Quincy to Providence) is from ocean effect snow showers as the
cold air flows over the relatively warm waters. This same phenomenon
has brought rain showers to the Cape and southeast MA all day as
well. The pesky thing to nail down as usual is just how far
inland/northwest the coastal front would make it today, and guidance
certainly was too far north which is why we've had more hours of
snow than expected in the Boston/metro west area this afternoon. As
temperatures begin to drop with sunset that front will collapse
south and rain will flip to snow over southeast MA including Cape
Cod.
The other factor with this evening's snow is the precipitation
associated with a deepening coastal low moving up the coast outside
of the benchmark tonight. While the maximum of the moisture
plume/QPF remains offshore guidance did shift west with some of it
which is part of the reason snowfall totals were increased. We
expect an already observed banding of precipitation over
eastern/northeast MA to continue this evening as a band of 700 mb
frontogenesis sets up over southeast MA. We know that historically
the maximum of snowfall typically falls just to the northwest of
these maxima which would be northern RI into northeast MA. The
combination of ocean enhanced snowfall and this deformation axis
will most likely lead to snowfall totals of 2 to 5 inches in this
region. The biggest concern will be for the evening commute where
model soundings suggest strong lift in the dendritic growth zone
which may lead to localized snowfall amounts of up to 1"/hour (30-
40% chance). Elsewhere, even down to the coast Cape Cod could pick 1-
3 inches of snow as well in the ~12 hour window that snow is likely.
This all exits east by sunrise on Saturday.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
Key Messages...
* Drier and colder on Saturday and very cold on Saturday night
Saturday the mid level trough remains overhead but the low quickly
exits east. We'll see breezy NW winds 10 to 15 mph with gusts as
high as 25 mph. Given the cyclonic flow aloft we may see some widely
scattered light snow but mostly just continued cloudcover. In the
afternoon heights will be starting to rise and drier air advected in
on that NW flow so clouds will dissipate through the afternoon and
evening. This will be the transition toward our coldest day of the
season on Sunday, with highs only making it into the upper 20s and
low 30s. The real cold arrives overnight, though, as frigid air
arrives. 850 mb reach around -15C, while at the surface lows will
drop into the single digits (interior) and mid teens (coast). Breezy
winds will make it feel more like single digit negatives to near 0
in the interior.
&&
.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
Key Messages:
* Arctic Airmass continues to bring highs in the 20s and lows in
the single digits Sunday into Monday
* Gradual warm-up the rest of the week with highs in the 30s and
lows in the 20s
* Weak clipper system moves through Christmas Eve, but confidence
is still low
1040mb high pressure and arctic airmass remain over the region
through Monday. Despite sunny skies, highs will struggle to top 30F,
with most of the region in the low 20s. With blustery NW winds at 10-
15mph, the wind chill factor will make it feel like the single
digits. Overnight lows will likely drop to some of the coldest we
have seen thus far for the season, with lows in the single digits,
possibly below zero in high terrain in NW MA. Winds will decrease
overnight, which will help prevent the wind chill factor from going
far below zero. Surface flow turns southerly on Monday, allowing
high temps to moderate slightly into the upper 20s to low 30s.
A clipper system drops out of the Northern Great Lakes on Christmas
Eve, which could bring another round of light wintry precipitation.
Uncertainty remains high with this system as models are usually too
quick to kick out strong high-pressure systems. Current ensemble
guidance shows high probs for 1 inch across the region, with low
probs for 3 inches in the high terrain of the Berkshires.
Temperatures Tuesday continue to moderate into the low to mid-30s.
High pressure builds back in from the north for Christmas Day
through the end of the week. High temperatures continue to moderate
into the mid to upper 30s to even low 40s by the end of the week.
&&
.AVIATION /00Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...

Light to moderate snow continues east of the I-95 corridor
though about 04-06z, except over the Cape and Islands where
snow will last until 06-09z. IFR/LIFR conditions can be expected
with snow fall, but should lift to MVFR as snow comes to an
end.
West of the I-95 corridor, snow is slowing down with only

KBDL TAF...Moderate confidence. Cigs lowering to MVFR with
light to moderate snow in the afternoon and evening which may
reduce vsbys below 1 mile at times.

3 to 6 feet on the southern waters and 5 to 8 feet on the eastern
waters.
Saturday night...High confidence.
