An area of low pressure lifted northeastward and deepened through the Southeastern Canadian Maritimes for the second time in the row over the past week as high pressure controlled the weather through the Central Plains. The combination of the two systems resulted in a strong pressure gradient through New England resulting in strong northerly winds.

The episode as NWS BOX wrote it up.
An area of low pressure lifted northeastward and deepened through the Southeastern Canadian Maritimes for the second time in the row over the past week as high pressure controlled the weather through the Central Plains. The combination of the two systems resulted in a strong pressure gradient through New England resulting in strong northerly winds.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
1230 AM EST TUE FEB 15 2011
.SYNOPSIS...
A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL BRING MUCH COLDER WEATHER TO THE REGION
TONIGHT AND TUESDAY. A WARMING TREND IS EXPECTED FOR THE REST OF
THE WEEK WITH UNSEASONABLY MILD CONDITIONS THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. A
WARM FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH EARLY FRIDAY...THEN A COLD FRONT WILL
MOVE THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT. WINDY AND COLDER WEATHER RETURNS FOR
THE WEEKEND.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THIS MORNING/...
THE MAIN EVENT OVERNIGHT WILL BE THE WIND. STRONGEST PRESSURE RISES
/2-3MB/HR/ APPEAR TO BE OCCURRING IN NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND PER 05Z
MSAS ANALYSIS. PRESSURE RISES MORE IN THE 1-2 MB/HR RANGE ARE
INDICATED OVER SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND. OBSERVED WINDS ARE GUSTING
BETWEEN 30 AND 40 KNOTS. WITH COLD ADVECTION AND THE PRESSURE
GRADIENT...WE EXPECT STRONG WIND TO CONTINUE. WINDS AT 900 MB ARE
FORECAST TO REACH 40-50 KNOTS 06Z-09Z...SO A PERIOD OF 40-45 KNOT
WIND GUSTS IS A REASONABLE EXPECTATION DURING THE OVERNIGHT.
TEMPERATURES WILL PLUMMET ONCE THE COLD FRONT WORKS THROUGH THE
REGION. THE AIRMASS COMING DOWN FROM SOUTHEAST CANADA IS QUITE
COLD AND SIDED WITH THE COLDER MET GUIDANCE. BY 12Z TUESDAY...
TEMPERATURES ACROSS MOST OF SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND SHOULD HAVE
FALLEN WELL DOWN INTO THE TEENS WITH EVEN A FEW SINGLE DIGIT
READINGS ACROSS SOUTHWEST NH/NORTHWEST MA. THE STRONG WINDS WILL
CAUSE WIND CHILL VALUES TO DROP TO BETWEEN 5 ABOVE AND 10 BELOW
ZERO...QUITE A CHANGE FROM THE VERY MILD WEATHER THIS AFTERNOON!
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM THIS MORNING THROUGH 6 PM WEDNESDAY/...
TUESDAY...
A MOSTLY SUNNY BUT VERY COLD AND WINDY DAY IS ON TAP FOR SOUTHERN
NEW ENGLAND. STRONG COLD ADVECTION FROM THE NORTHWEST WILL RESULT
IN HIGH TEMPERATURES NEARLY 30 DEGREES COLDER THAN WHAT WAS
EXPERIENCED TODAY! HIGHS IN THE UPPER TEENS TO LOWER 20S ARE
EXPECTED ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN...TO THE LOWER TO MIDDLE 20S
ELSEWHERE. A WELL MIXED ATMOSPHERE WILL SUPPORT 30 TO 40 MPH WIND
GUSTS ACROSS THE REGION. WILL CONTINUE THE WIND ADVISORY FOR THE
CAPE AND ISLANDS FOR THE MORNING...WHERE GUSTS UP TO 45 MPH WILL
REMAIN POSSIBLE. ITS POSSIBLE THAT THE WIND ADVISORY WILL HAVE TO
BE EXTENDED FOR A FEW MORE OF THE TYPICALLY PRONE LOCATIONS...BUT
WILL LET THE NEXT SHIFT EVALUATE. WIND CHILL VALUES WILL GENERALLY
REMAIN BETWEEN 0 AND 10 ABOVE ACROSS THE REGION TUESDAY AFTERNOON.
TUESDAY NIGHT...
A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD ACROSS THE REGION. THIS WILL
RESULT IN MAINLY CLEAR SKIES...DIMINISHING WIND AND AN IDEAL NIGHT
FOR RADIATIONAL COOLING. LOWS SHOULD RANGE FROM 0 TO 5 BELOW ZERO
ACROSS PORTIONS OF SOUTHWEST NH/NORTHWEST MA TO MAINLY BETWEEN 5 AND
15 ABOVE ZERO ELSEWHERE.
&&
.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
LARGE SCALE PATTERN CHANGES A COUPLE OF TIMES. DURING MIDWEEK A
WEST COAST UPPER TROF DIGS AND EASTERN RIDGE BUILDS...BRINGING
MILDER WEATHER TO NEW ENGLAND. PACIFIC SHORTWAVE THEN RACES EAST
AND FLATTENS THE TOP OF THE RIDGE...BRINGING UNSETTLED WEATHER LATE
WEEK AND COLDER TEMPS OVER THE WEEKEND. WE FAVORED THE ECMWF AND
HPC GRIDS IN THE DAY 4-7 PERIOD...BUT WITH MINOR ADJUSTMENTS.
WEDNESDAY-THURSDAY
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE COVERS THE EAST COAST WITH FAIR WEATHER. THE
RIDGE LINE SHIFTS EAST OF NEW ENGLAND ON WEDNESDAY...BRINGING A
WEST-SOUTHWEST FLOW AND MILDER TEMPS TO THE REGION. EXPECTING
MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES DURING THE PERIOD.
TEMPS AT 925 MB WEDNESDAY WILL BE 0C TO 2C...BUT DEVELOPING WARM
ADVECTION MAY SET UP ENOUGH OF AN INVERSION TO KEEP THE MIXED LAYER
BELOW 925 MB. MIXING TO THAT LEVEL WOULD MEAN MAX TEMPS AROUND
46-47F...WE WILL USED THAT AS AN UPPER BOUND AND FOLLOW A RANGE OF
MID 30S TO MID 40S. TEMPS AT 925 MB THURSDAY WILL BE AT 5-8C...A
5C/9F MODERATION...AND SO WE WILL MODERATE TEMPS ABOUT 9F OVER
WEDNESDAY LEVELS WITH A RANGE IN THE MID 40S TO LOW 50S.
THURSDAY NIGHT-FRIDAY
NORTHERN STREAM SHORTWAVE RACES ACROSS THE NORTHERN PLAINS THURSDAY
AND ACROSS NORTHERN ONTARIO FRIDAY. THIS PULLS A WARM FRONT ACROSS
NEW ENGLAND THURSDAY NIGHT. MOST OF THE ISENTROPIC LIFT ASSOCIATED
WITH THE WARM FRONT WILL BE IN THE ST LAWRENCE VALLEY AND FAR
NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND. WEAK LIFT IS FORECAST AT 290K...WHICH IS NEAR
850 MB LATE THURSDAY NIGHT...WITH A MEDIOCRE FOR
LIFTING/SATURATION. WE HAVE INCLUDED CHANCE POPS LATE THURSDAY
NIGHT AND EARLY FRIDAY MAINLY NORTH OF THE MASS PIKE. THE SURFACE
LOW THEN SWINGS A COLD FRONT THROUGH THE REGION LATE FRIDAY/FRIDAY
EVENING...AND THIS IS SUPPORTED BY THE LEFT EXIT REGION OF A 160
KNOT JET. SO WE HAVE A SECOND PERIOD OF CHANCE POPS...THIS TIME FOR
ALL AREAS...WITH THIS COLD FROPA.
SATURDAY-SUNDAY
STRONG PRESSURE RISES FORECAST BEHIND THE CANADIAN LOW AND ITS COLD
FRONT SATURDAY. THE ECMWF SHOWS 1 MB PER HOUR PRESSURE RISES WHICH
WILL TIGHTEN THE PRESSURE GRADIENT SOMEWHAT. COLD ADVECTION
CREATES FAVORABLE LAPSE RATES TO MIX STRONG WIND GUSTS TO THE
SURFACE...THE 12Z ECMWF SUGGESTS A POTENTIAL FOR 35-45 KNOT WIND
GUSTS. WE FAVORED THE LOWER HALF OF THIS RANGE AS THIS IS A DAY 5
FORECAST...BUT WILL MONITOR FUTURE RUNS.
STILL BREEZY SUNDAY WITH A WEST-NORTHWEST FLOW. BUT HIGH PRESSURE
BUILDING OVER THE REGION WILL BRING A DIMINISHING TREND ESPECIALLY
SUNDAY AFTERNOON.
TEMPS AT 925 MB ARE FORECAST AT -2C TO -5C SATURDAY...AND -4C TO -7C
SUNDAY. THIS SUGGESTS MID 30S TO LOWER 40S SATURDAY...AND UPPER 20S
TO MID 30S SUNDAY. WE STAYED CLOSE TO HPC GUIDANCE. THIS BRINGS
LOWS IN THE TEENS/20S SATURDAY NIGHT AND SINGLE NUMBERS/TEENS SUNDAY
NIGHT.
MONDAY
SOUTHERN STREAM LOW PRESSURE MOVES ACROSS THE PLAINS MONDAY AND
TOWARD THE GREAT LAKES. INCREASING OVERRUNNING ACROSS NEW ENGLAND
ON MONDAY. WE BROUGHT INCREASING CLOUDS TO SOUTHERN PARTS OF
SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND WITH POPS SLIGHT CHANCE NORTH AND CHANCE SOUTH.

ADVECTION PATTERN. THEREFORE...GALE WARNINGS WILL CONTINUE ACROSS
ALL WATERS. ALSO...EXPECT FREEZING SPRAY TO DEVELOP AS VERY COLD
AIR WORKS OVER THE WATERS. SEAS ACROSS THE EASTERN OUTER-WATERS
SHOULD BUILD BETWEEN 10 AND 15 FEET.
