...GALE WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 7 AM EST SUNDAY...
...HEAVY FREEZING SPRAY WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 7 AM EST
MONDAY...

* WHAT...For the Gale Warning, northwest winds 20 to 30 kt with 
  gusts up to 35 kt and waves around 3 feet expected. For the 
  Heavy Freezing Spray Warning, heavy freezing spray at a rate 
  of 2 cm per hour or greater expected, and may rapidly 
  accumulate on vessels.

* WHERE...Narragansett Bay.

* WHEN...For the Gale Warning, until 7 AM EST Sunday. For the 
  Heavy Freezing Spray Warning, until 7 AM EST Monday.

* IMPACTS...Operating a vessel in heavy freezing spray is 
  hazardous. Freezing spray may render mechanical and electronic 
  components inoperative. Rapid ice accretion on decks and 
  superstructures may result in a catastrophic loss of 
  stability. Strong winds will cause hazardous waves which could 
  capsize or damage vessels and reduce visibility.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Mariners should prepare for dangerous accumulation of ice on
their vessel. If possible, remain in port, avoid the warning area
or conduct mitigation. During freezing spray conditions, the U.S.
Coast Guard advises mariners to check and ensure all life-saving
devices remain free of ice. 

Mariners should alter plans to avoid these hazardous conditions.
Remain in port, seek safe harbor, alter course, and/or secure the
vessel for hazardous conditions.

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Boston/Norton MA
602 PM EST Thu Feb 5 2026

.WHAT HAS CHANGED...
Extreme Cold Watch has been expanded to all of northern Connecticut
and for western and central Massachusetts.

&&

.KEY MESSAGES...

- Dry weather through Friday. Snow showers late Friday night,
  lingering through Saturday evening.

- Dangerous cold Saturday night into Sunday, along with
  hazardous marine candidness.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
KEY MESSAGE 1...Dry weather through Friday. Snow showers late
Friday night, lingering through Saturday evening.

High pressure remains in place through Friday bringing dry
conditions. Low temperatures overnight will depend on how
quickly the moisture/clouds move in overnight. Should be clear
to start the night, allowing efficient radiational cooling. As
long as clouds to arrive too early, lows should drop into the
single digits and teens perhaps a few below zero readings in the
higher elevations of the interior. For Friday, temperatures
range in the mid to upper 20s in most areas, a little below
normal for this time of year.

An arctic front is expected to sweep across the region Sat morning
and afternoon. During this time, a low pressure system tracks
offshore with an accompanying inverted trough shifting across
portions of the region. The main result of this set-up will be light
showers developing early Saturday morning, continuing through the
day Saturday with showers lingering across the east coast/Cape
& Islands through Saturday evening. Overall this event is
looking to be minor impact with light accumulations of fluffy
snow. Ensembles and the NBM show high probabilities 1-3" inches
of snow for most of southern New England by Saturday night.

Where it gets a little more detailed and lower confidence will be
with the positioning of the inverted trough and the ocean-
effect/enhancement. These will be important details when it comes to
assessing the potential for locally higher snow amounts. Ocean-
effect and enhancement is likely with surface winds shifting NE to N
Saturday ahead of an approaching arctic front with NW winds in its
wake. The convergence alone may act as an enhancer for snowfall.
This will favor the coastal areas that are typically impacted by
ocean-effect (east coast/Cape & Islands). There is still uncertainty
where exactly the bands/enhancement will set up, especially with
respect to the east coast (e.g. Boston Logan Airport, Plymouth).
Models continue to indicate an inverted trough accompanying the
offshore surface low extending through southern New England. This
could be another forcer for snowfall enhancement; however, the
positioning and strength of the inverted trough less certain which
will influence the amounts and where those more enhanced amounts
could end up. Model soundings show a favorable environment overall
with a period of decent lift in the snow growth region and marginal
instability, more so further east. Ensembles highlight
probabilities for 3"+ across central southern New England and
the east coast/Cape & Islands with overall more consistency with
probabilities over the east coast/Cape. This aligns with where
we are seeing potential positioning for mesoscale features, so
the localized higher amounts will depend on where these set up.
So bottom line, 1-3" is looking most likely with potential for
localized 3"+ for areas. Held off on advisories for now given
the uncertainty in where these localized mesoscale enhancements
will set up.

Quickly falling temperatures behind the arctic front, marginal
instability, and onset of gusty winds raises concern for a few
snow squalls as the front moves through Saturday. Higher risk
looks to be western southern New England into central portions
as well.

KEY MESSAGE 2...Dangerous cold Saturday night into Sunday,
along with hazardous marine candidness.

Dangerous cold expected Saturday evening through Sunday as an Arctic
front pushes through. 925mb temperatures lowering to -20C across the
Berkshires and elsewhere are between 10-15C below zero. Majority of
the region experiences minimum temperatures -5F to +5F, while at the
coast, those temperatures are 5F-15F. Overnight, pressure gradient
increases due to high pressure the north and a deepening area of low
pressure to the southeast. Factoring the cold temperatures with a
northwest gusts between 30-40 mph, wind chill values are as low as
25 to 30 below zero across western and central Massachusetts. Major
urban centers like Boston, Providence, Hartford, and Worcester are
"less" cold, but still dangerous, wind chill values are 10-20
degrees below zero. There is little improvement during Sunday, with
daytime temperatures reaching the teens and sub-zero wind chills.

Have expanded the Extreme Cold Watch to include all of western and
central Massachusetts, additionally, all of northern Connecticut.
Areas currently not under a watch, will likely have Cold Weather
Advisories issued in the next 24-36 hours. Either way you look at
it, spending any duration outdoors Saturday evening through Sunday
morning should be considered dangerous, wear multiple layers, and
don't leave any bare skin exposed.

During this time, it's worth reminding boater there is potential for
heavy freezing spray across all the waters as icing rates could
reach 0.5-1.0 inch per hour. This has prompted a Heavy Freezing
Spray Watch for all waters with exception of Boston Harbor.

Below normal temperatures continue into early next week, daytime
highs are in the teens and 20s on Monday, near 30 on Tuesday, and
trending towards the middle 30s for Wednesday and Thursday. Outside
of a weak clipper system on Monday night there is fairly quiet
conditions early next week. Will need to monitor a mid to late week
system, though there is low confidence in this part of the forecast
due model disagreement on placement and timing. Stay tuned.
