Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Boston/Norton MA
1250 PM EST Thu Nov 28 2019
.SYNOPSIS...
Low pressure will gradually pull away from New England today
with drier, windy and cooler weather. Another high pressure
will bring dry and cold conditions Friday through Saturday
night. Strong low pressure crosses the Great Lakes late this
weekend, with a second low that may develop south of New
England. There is the potential for winter weather conditions
late this weekend into the start of the work week followed by
cool and drier conditions.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
1245 PM update...
A few bands of showers continue to rotate south across eastern
MA. While these showers will be exiting next 1-2 hours, ocean
effect showers will linger over Cape Cod through the afternoon.
Windy afternoon with gusts 30-40 mph, stronger gusts over Cape
and Nantucket. Gusts to 50 mph have been observed at Nantucket.
Previous discussion..
Mid level low is moving SE of Cape Cod with back edge of showers
rotating across eastern MA. These showers will gradually move
offshore by midday, but scattered showers may linger this
afternoon across Cape/Islands. Steep low level lapse rates over
the water with ocean induced Capes around 200 J/kg and northerly
trajectory supports a few ocean effect showers. Otherwise,
expect skies becoming partly sunny in western New Eng, but
clouds will likely persist in the east, especially across SE MA
and Cape/Islands where abundant low level moisture remains.
Windy conditions today with strong pressure gradient in place
behind departing storm. N/NW gusts 30-40 mph expected, with a
risk of 40-50 mph gusts across Cape/ACK and possibly east
coastal MA where wind advisories continue. Temps will remain in
the 40s.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM FRIDAY/...
High pressure centered near James Bay will start to build across
southern New England tonight into Friday. Expecting dry weather
with near to below normal temperatures. Pressure gradient will
gradually diminish, but it will likely remain breezy.
&&
.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
Highlights...
* Cold and dry conditions continue Friday night and Saturday
* Winter weather event Sunday afternoon through Monday night may
bring rain and snow
* Mainly dry but cold mid week
Details...
Friday night and Saturday...
By Friday night and Saturday a sprawling high pressure over
southern QC will continue to move overhead as the low over the
maritimes continues to exit east. The pressure gradient relaxes,
if slowly, and CAA at the mid-low levels will allow mixing down
of some of the lingering 925mb LLJ overnight. As such, we
should continue to see wind gusts of 25-30 mph, especially along
the immediate coast. Breezy winds will preclude efficient
radiational cooling, but low temperatures still drop 5-10
degrees cooler than Thursday night thanks to increasing CAA,
into the teens and 20s.
Saturday winds come down even more as the inverted sfc high pressure
ridge axis approaches New England. Some gusts to 25 mph remain
possible across the outer Cape and Nantucket. Otherwise sunny skies
and chilly temperatures, likely not making it out of the 30s.
Sunday through Monday Night...
All eyes are on the latter half of the weekend as unsettled, likely
wintry weather returns to southern New England. All is
predicated on the evolution of a low pressure system that takes
form in the lee of the Rockies on Saturday before crossing the
midwest on Sunday and New England Monday. Along the frontal
boundary a secondary triple point low is generated near the
Delmarva late Sunday which will cross near or adjacent to our
south coast Mon/Tue bringing both rain and snow. Early Sunday
the high moves overhead before being pushed out by the
approaching low. Clouds push in by daybreak ahead of the
precipitation but may be late enough to drop Sunday morning's
low temps to radiate a few degrees cooler than otherwise. Precip
moves in from west to east by late morning/afternoon into
Sunday evening, with the best chance for heavier precip Sunday
night and Monday. Numerical guidance continues to indicate
potential for our first real impactful winter storm of the
season, though the details are uncertain; as we approach a
significant snowfall is looking like a better and better
probability for interior locations, while several factors would
lead us to believe those in the lower elevations/closer to the
coast will be dealing with some kind of unpleasant snow/rain
combo or mostly rain. The GFS continues to be further north with
the warm low level air, keeping the significant snow confined
mostly to the slopes of the Berkshires and Worcester Hills,
while the EC paints a cooler picture with snow further south but
mostly rain for the south coast/coastal plain. At this point
the forecast will continue to be based on a blend of these
solutions, which would, given the cold antecedent airmass, start
most everyone as snow initially before switching to a rain snow
mix or a all rain outside of northern/western MA. As the system
exits to the east cold air will be wrapped around the backside
on N/NW winds meaning a likely changeover back to snow for most
everyone late Monday into early Tuesday. Given the trend in
recent model runs to slow the progression of the trough and keep
the parent low further north for longer, and the relatively
warm ocean waters this early in the season, am leaning toward a
mainly interior snow event with this system. However, there's
still plenty to be worked out with this system, including how
strong the winds will be, potentially gusting 25 to 35 mph. Stay
tuned.
Tuesday and Wednesday...
Tuesday the tail end of the precipitation (most likely snow as
mentioned earlier) should be coming to and end, though how quickly
will depend on the speed and track of the low. Clouds linger
through mid week but we should stay dry. Cold air lingers under
N/NW flow with highs in the 30s to low 40s along the south
coast.
