Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Boston/Norton MA
413 PM EDT Wed Oct 7 2020
.SYNOPSIS...
Strong to damaging winds expected as a cold front moves through
bringing showers and thunderstorms this evening. After the front
moves through skies clear as high pressure nudges in, but the
strong winds persist. The dry weather returns for most places
late this week and early next week. Though it still will be
breezy on Thursday. Cool temperatures trend above normal this
weekend, and then cooler once more next week.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THURSDAY MORNING/...
Highlights
* Line of showers and storms quickly move through from west to east
this evening as a cold front moves through.
* Strong to damaging wind gusts are possible across much of southern
New England into this evening as the front moves through. High
Wind Warnings and Wind Advisories remain in effect until late
tonight.
This evening...
Potent shortwave trough digs into southern New England. At the
surface a strong cold front moves through. Along the front expect a
line of showers and thunderstorms.
Very good consensus amongst CAMs and other short term guidance in
timing the showers moving through currently and convection moving in
from New York. Particularly leaned toward the past several runs of
the HRRR along with the NAMNest and HREF to time this activity
moving through. The timeframe for the thunderstorm activity moving
through is roughly from 21Z to 01Z from northwest to southeast.
Along and immediately behind this line is the best opportunity for
the strong to damaging wind gusts. Matches up well with Bufkit
soundings per the NAM/RAP/GFS mixing down 45-50 kts. There is
potential for isolated areas of higher gusts. This is a result of a
strong 40-60 kt low level jet at 850 hPa in combination with strong
cold air advection as the front moves through.
Tonight...
The shortwave trough lifts northeastward tonight into Nova Scotia.
Any precipitation should be over with by 01-03Z as the front exits.
High pressure nudges its way into the region behind the front from
the Upper Mississippi River Valley.
Still anticipate strong winds overnight as the pressure gradient
remains tight due to the exiting front and high building in. Gusts
will gradually diminishing and should be below Wind Warning/Wind
Advisory criteria after midnight.
Skies quickly clearing as the high nudges in. Temperatures will be
much cooler in comparison to this morning. Will have strong 850 hPa
northwest cold air advection where 0 to -2 degree Celsius air moves
in. Despite the clear skies will be tough for strong radiational
cooling given the mechanical mixing due to strong winds. Low
temperatures range from the upper 30s in northwest MA to the low to
mid 50s across Cape Cod and the Islands.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
Highlights
* Dry, windy and quiet weather on Thursday.
* Dry, cool and quiet weather Thursday night. Frost Advisories may
be needed for portions of southern New England.
Ridge axis builds into the Upper Mississippi River Valley on
Thursday and the central Great Lakes/Ontario Thursday night. At the
surface high pressure will nudge into southern New England from the
central/eastern Great Lakes on Thursday. The high will build into
the Mid Atlantic/eastern Great Lakes Thursday night.
Thursday...
Main concern during this period is the strong winds anticipated
across southern New England on Thursday. The pressure gradient will
remain tight as the high nudges in and the low over Nova Scotia/New
Brunswick.
The strong gusty winds mixing down will be aided by the strong
northwest cold air advection aloft. Should see 850 hPa temperatures
of 0 to -5 advect in. The results in high temperatures ranging from
the mid 50s to the mid 60s, which is roughly 5 to 10 degrees cooler
than normal for this time of year.
Thursday night...
Gusty winds come to an end as high pressure relaxes the pressure
gradient as it builds just west of southern New England. Will have
some weak warm air advection aloft late. However, will have clear
skies and relatively light winds. This should result in strong
radiational cooling. Have lowered temperatures to the 25th
percentile of guidance. Results in readings generally in the 30s
across the interior and lower 40s along the coastal plain. A few
locations across the interior may need a Frost Advisory.
&&
.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
Big Picture...
Zonal flow across the northern USA Friday and Saturday, with an
embedded shortwave moving through the flow and crossing New
England/Eastern Canada Saturday/Saturday night. Another shortwave
moves ashore from the Pacific Ocean Saturday and digs a deep trough
over the Central USA by Monday. Hurricane Delta is expected to make
landfall in LA late Friday and move up the Mississippi Valley during
the weekend. The digging of that Central trough will encourage the
Delta remnants to move through the Midwest and Northeast USA
early next week.
Mass fields are quite similar through Sunday, bringing moderate-high
confidence to the Friday to Sunday forecasts. Model differences grow
Sunday night and Monday in the Plains due to different handling
of the deep trough. The track has also changed over the last 24
hours, so that consistency is low. Confidence in the arrival
and timing of the remnant into Srn New England is low at this
time.
Details...
Friday-Saturday...
High pressure builds over the region Friday and shifts offshore
Saturday. Expect dry air and subsidence both days. A warm front
moves through Friday evening and may bring a period of mid and high
clouds as it moves across.
Mixing reaches 900 mb Friday and 850 mb Saturday. This taps winds of
15 kt Friday and 30 kt Saturday. So gusty southwest winds are
expected Saturday. Temps at the top of the mixed layer are equiv to
1-3C Friday and 10-11C Saturday. The Saturday numbers are
colder than all but the bias-corrected guidance. The forecast
favors moving max temps Saturday up a couple of degrees. Min
temps of 45-55 are favored based on forecast dew points, but
there is room for inland temps to cool another 3-4F in
radiational cooling.
Saturday night-Sunday...
Cold front over Nrn New England moves southeast through Srn New
England, driven by a shortwave crossing eastern Canada. Moisture
cross-sections reach up to 700-mb, but dry air above that. Expect
some clouds with the front and possibly isolated showers. The front
moves south of the region early Sunday morning. High pressure then
builds across Nrn New England Sunday, turning our winds from the
north and then northeast. That means a marine flow and shallow
mixing, with 950-mb temps equiv to -1C to +3C, supporting upper 50s
to mid 60s.
Monday through Wednesday...
As noted, the GFS brings remnants from Delta to the Northeast USA
Monday afternoon through Tuesday. This is quite a change from 24-
hours ago when the model aimed for the Virginia coast and out to
sea. That adds uncertainty to whether this wetter track is correct
or a blip. The 12Z ECMWF behaves similar to the GFS. Both models
seem to be reacting to the digging of the deep trough over the
Plains. The forecast will support low-end chance pops Monday-
Tuesday, and slight chance pops Wednesday.
As noted above, confidence in this part of the forecast is low. With
more run-to-run consistency, would expect confidence to
increase.
&&
.AVIATION /20Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
Forecaster Confidence Levels...
Low - less than 30 percent.
Moderate - 30 to 60 percent.
High - greater than 60 percent.
Through 00Z...High confidence
VFR conditions expected as a cold front slides through. This
will bring scattered showers and perhaps a few strong
thunderstorms. Rough timing for precipitation is 18Z-02Z from
west to east. Utilized the last several runs of the HRRR along
with the NAMNest and HREF to time the activity moving through.
Could have periods of MVFR as a storm or heavier shower moves
over a terminal. Have added a mention of VCTS to all terminals
except ACK, based on CAMs.
Strong SW winds shifting to the W as the front passes through.
Will see sustained winds of 15-20 kts with gusts of 40 to 45
kts. There may be a few 50 kt gusts toward 00Z. Cape Cod and the
Islands will see sustained winds of 20-25 kts with gusts of 40
to 50 kts.
Tonight...High confidence.
VFR conditions expected with strong W to WNW winds. Any showers
or storms come to an end early in the evening along the south
coast. Gusts initially between 40-50 kts. Should see those
gusts diminishing generally after midnight to the 30-40 kts
range.
Thursday...High confidence.
VFR conditions expected with WNW to NW winds. Sustained winds
between 15-20 kts with gusts to around 30 knots.
Thursday night...High confidence.
VFR with gusty winds coming to an end during the evening. Winds
shifting from the NW to the W.
KBOS Terminal...High confidence in TAF.
KBDL Terminal...High confidence in TAF.
Outlook /Friday through Monday/...
Friday through Friday Night: VFR. Breezy.
Saturday: VFR. Windy with gusts up to 30 kt.
Saturday Night through Sunday Night: VFR. Breezy.
Columbus Day: Mainly MVFR, with areas VFR possible. Breezy.
Slight chance SHRA.
&&
.MARINE...
Gale Warning continues into tonight for all waters as a strong cold
front moves through. As the front moves through will see winds shift
from the southwest to the west. Cannot completely rule out
occasional Storm Force gusts across parts of the southern waters
this evening as that front moves through. A few strong thunderstorms
are possible this evening.
Have extended the Gale Warning as gusty winds continue across the
far eastern outer waters through Thursday. Elsewhere will have
strong SCA to marginal gale force gusts of 30 to 35 kts as strong
cold air advection continues over the mild ocean.
Outlook /Friday through Monday/...
Friday: Winds less than 25 kt. Seas locally approaching 5 ft.
Friday Night: Low risk for Small Craft Advisory winds with
gusts up to 25 kt. Local rough seas.
Saturday: Low risk for gale force winds with gusts up to 30 kt.
Areas of rough seas.
Saturday Night: Moderate risk for Small Craft Advisory winds
with gusts up to 25 kt. Local rough seas.
Sunday through Sunday Night: Winds less than 25 kt. Seas up to
5 ft.
Columbus Day: Low risk for Small Craft Advisory winds with
gusts up to 20 kt. Areas of rough seas. Slight chance of rain
showers.
&&
.FIRE WEATHER...
Strong wind gusts persist across southern New England on
Thursday due to the tight pressure gradient in place from the
exiting system and high pressure building in. Expect it to be
dry with minimum relative humidities ranging from 30 to 45
percent across the region on Thursday. An SPS for Elevated Fire
Weather concerns may be needed in future updates depending on
how much precipitation falls as this line moves through this
evening. Have held off in the latest package as am uncertain
how widespread the wetting rain will be.
