Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Boston/Norton MA
1103 AM EST Thu Jan 16 2020
.SYNOPSIS...
Low pressure moving into interior New England today will spread
a warm front early this morning across northern Massachusetts,
with wintry precipitation transitioning to rain. A strong cold
front ushers in windy and much colder weather behind it by this
afternoon. Dry but windy and cold weather continues into
Friday. Low pressure will approach from the west on Saturday.
This will bring accumulating snow Saturday afternoon and night
before changing to a wintry mix and eventually rain.
Precipitation ends early Sunday as the storm lifts out. This
will be followed by drier and colder weather early to mid next
week.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
11 AM Update...
The low pressure center tracked over SNE this morning, and as it
moved offshore winds became W/NW across the region and are
becoming gusty. Over the far interior gusts 25 to 35 mph noted
at 11 am. These W/NW winds will continue to increase with gusts
of 35-50 mph during this afternoon. Gusts as high as 55 mph
possible this afternoon and evening over the Cape/Islands.
Still have the potential for lake effect snow/rain showers
along the east slopes of the Berkshires this afternoon and this
is reflected in the forecast. There is a continued slight chance
pop along the shoreline of east coastal MA and the Cape/Islands
for some very light rain/snow from the offshore low.
Early morning discussion...
A 1010 mb surface low centered over the Southern Tier of NY
early this morning was draping a warm front across the Capital
District of NY eastward across northern CT into western/northern
MA. This warm front has produced some very light accumulating
snow (less than an inch per recent reports, with some coatings
on roads) across western parts of Hartford County. An axis of
850-700 mb frontogenetic forcing per RAP-based guidance trails
roughly from PSF eastward into the I-495 corridor is producing
20-30 dbZ steady light snow through wet-bulb cooling effects
across roughly the northern third of MA. South of the
frontogenetic maxima into Tolland and Hartford Counties, precip
has become less focused and more intermittent. Any further
accumulations here should be nil with temperatures warming to
support a cold rain. Continue to expect the steadiest
snowfall/greatest accumulations and overall greater impact to
travel along the Route 2 corridor into the E slopes of the
Berkshires, with event total accumulations from 2-4". These are
largely sub-Advisory, and have issued a special weather
statement to address steadiest snows, reduced visibility and
possible travel difficulties for these northern MA locales
through 4 AM. Temperatures into the MA coastal plain and into RI
appear warm enough to produce mainly rain, though it may mix
with wet snow for a brief period of time. HRRR indicates ongoing
shield of precip should be lifting into NH through 8 AM as
surface cyclone treks across southern VT. Narrow warm sector in
the wake of the warm-frontal precip could result in areas of
mist or fog.
Next concern comes timing the cold front and the anticipated sharply
falling temperatures and gusty winds behind it. Cold front is now
making inroads through central PA into western NY, and light SW
winds early part of the morning should flip to W/WNW and become
gusty shortly after FROPA, mainly during the mid- to late-morning
hrs. Best chances for any precip this afternoon is really out over
the waters as the surface low pulls into the Gulf of Maine and
deepens to a 985 mb cyclone, dragging some comma-head precip/QPF
southward. Remains some uncertainty in how far west this precip band
extends; this may clip the Outer Cape with a wind-driven rain/snow
shower mix. The NAM-3km and the 00z ECMWF are stronger and closer to
the mainland with this axis, and could support some accumulations of
snow across the Outer Cape into early-evening, while the GFS/SREF
and the NAM-12 are further off the coast. May need to adjust PoPs,
QPF upward more than currently shown across Cape Cod if later
guidance comes in further SW.
Early high temperatures expected today in the mid 30s to lower-mid
40s, before robust post-frontal cold advection (925 mb temps fall
some 6-10C thru the day to values ranging from -5 to -9C) results in
falling temps into the mid 20s to lower 30s by sunset. Given the
expected strong/gusty winds (see below), wind chills by sunset to
run into the teens to low 20s areawide.
Wind Advisories still look valid CWA-wide for strong, gusty NW
winds. The above-described cold advection in conjunction with
limited surface heating will deepen the mixed layer and promote
conditions favorable for mixing of stronger gusts. Soundings
indicate the mixed layer could extend as deep as 800 mb. Expecting
NW winds to gust to 40-50 mph during the afternoon in the interior
and up to 55 mph across the Cape and the Islands, with sustained
winds 20-30 mph. Though there's minor wind-related impacts possible,
the gusty conditions and sharply falling temps will frankly make it
feel pretty awful outside by the afternoon.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM FRIDAY/...
Tonight:
Cold, gusty to blustery and dry will be the theme for tonight.
Surface low south of Nova Scotia will continue to pull away from
southern New England, though northwest gradient winds will continue.
Strong cold advection will also continue to promote gusts to Wind
Advisory levels. Even if the mixing depth isn't as deep as compared
to the daytime given the falling temps, 925 mb NW winds are around
35-45 kt and 850 mb winds around 45-50 kt. This will continue to
support gusts across the interior in the 40-45 mph range thru
midnight, and in the upper 40s to low 50s mph gusts across the Cape
and the Islands. Mixing becoming increasingly shallow as temps fall
through the teens by midnight in the interior should result in gusts
ranging around 30-40 mph; Wind Advisory gusts still anticipated
across the Cape well into the overnight, though by daybreak sub-
Advisory gusts are currently envisioned.
Any snow showers out across the Outer Cape should be easing before
midnight. Potential exists for some minor accumulations of snow in
these areas but considerable spread in western extent of comma-head
precip (alluded to above) renders this as a low-confidence prospect.
The winds and falling temps to result in wind chills falling to
single digit to sub-zero levels in the interior by midnight. By
daybreak, sub-zero wind chills (1 to 10 below) should be common in
western/central and northeast MA, with low single digits from the
Mass Pike to I-95 south and east. Gonna be quite cold regardless but
at the moment, confidence on wind chill advisory criteria being met
looks too low-prob for any headlines. Will mention sub-zero wind
chills in the HWO.
Friday:
Still pretty blustery through Friday morning, though gradient winds
do tend to slacken towards the afternoon. Dry conditions should
promote full sunshine, though any insolational heating should prove
less effective as the 850 mb thermal trough (associated with -15 to -
18C air) settles over New England. One of those days where the sun
will belie how chilly it will really feel outside. Temperatures are
only expected to climb a couple degrees to highs in the mid teens to
low-mid 20s. Single digit to sub-zero wind chills still expected
until afternoon, with single digit to low teens values areawide as
winds start to slacken.
&&
.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
Main concerns...
* Cold Friday night into Saturday morning.
* Accumulating snow Saturday into Sunday. Expect snow to transition
over to rain/wintry mix late on Saturday into early Sunday.
* Much colder temperatures Monday through Wednesday.
Details...
Friday night through Saturday morning...
Initially there will be a ridge axis centered over the central Great
Lakes, while a longwave trough extends from Montana into the Central
Plains. At the surface high pressure will be building over the
eastern Great Lakes. The ridge axis will build into the eastern
Great Lakes and New England. This will gradually shift 850 hPa flow
from northwesterly to southwesterly. Do not anticipate this shift to
occur until late and the surface high will build right over the
region.
Expect strong radiational cooling as winds will be light and skies
clear. Knocked down low temperatures toward the 10th percentile of
guidance. The only worry at this point in time is that high clouds
ahead of the incoming system move in a bit quicker than currently
forecast. If this occurs then temperatures will not cool as much as
currently forecast. Lows range from the single digits below zero
across northwest MA to the teens along the coast.
Saturday through Sunday...
The longwave trough previously mentioned will lift into the central
Great Lakes by Saturday afternoon. The surface low will deepen
across the Mid Mississippi River Valley and deepen as it lifts into
the central Great Lakes. Expect the warm front associated with the
low to slide through late in the afternoon and into the evening
hours. Slowed down the onset time once again as things do not look
to start out until the warm front begins lifting in. Could take even
longer for precipitation to initially start as there is a good
amount of dry air in place ahead of the incoming system. Good
agreement amongst guidance at this point in time.
Precipitation will begin as all snow across southern New England
based on current temperature profiles. Late on Saturday into early
Sunday the trough will lift into northern New England. As the trough
does this models indicate a secondary low developing. There is some
disagreement amongst deterministic guidance with the GFS/ECWMF/GEM
in one camp and the NAM in another. Leaned toward the GFS/ECMWF/GEM
and the GEFS/EPS guidance, which develop the secondary low over the
Gulf of Maine. This makes it difficult for the colder air to remain
locked in the lower levels, which transitions snow over to a wintry
mix and eventually rain. The latest NAM solution develops a low just
south of Long Island and lifts the low over Cape Cod and into the
Gulf of Maine. This setup keeps the colder air locked in across the
lower levels and results in more snow/wintry mix than rain.
Again went toward the majority of guidance, which results in snow
transitioning over to a wintry mix and rain from south to north late
on Saturday into early Sunday. During this timeframe is when the
heaviest QPF is expected and hammering down exactly how
slowly/quickly things transition will be key in determining snowfall
amounts. Still looking like a plowable snow across the interior and
lesser amounts along the coastal plain.
The GFS is still a bit quick to end precipitation as the dry slot
moves through roughly between midnight and 6 AM. Slowed down things
ending toward the slower ECMWF and GEM solution. Will need to refine
how quickly the dry slot moves in as this could end things much
quicker than currently forecast. Models beginning to cluster on a
consensus for QPF, and have nudged things toward a storm total QPF
of 0.40 to 0.70 inches.
Expect breezy conditions on Sunday as the low lifts northeast of the
region and tightens the pressure gradient. There still may be a few
scattered snow showers linger across northwestern MA with cyclonic
flow in place over the eastern Great Lakes and New England. Expect
the warmest readings of the extended on Sunday with highs ranging
from the 30s across the Interior to the low 40s along the coast.
Monday through Wednesday...
Drier with below normal temperatures Monday through Wednesday.
Confidence is still low in how things exactly evolve as model
solutions diverge especially after Monday evening. Expect the
Northeast to be under cyclonic flow, but lower and mid level
features are still all over the place. Kept a blend of guidance at
this point due to the uncertainty. Highs will generally be in the
20s Monday through Wednesday. Low temperatures will be in the single
digits and teens.
&&
.AVIATION /16Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
Forecaster Confidence Levels...
Low - less than 30 percent.
Moderate - 30 to 60 percent.
High - greater than 60 percent.
16Z Discussion:
Conditions improving to MVFR/VFR thru 18Z, with last areas to
improve along the Cape/Islands. Lingering chance for -RA/-SN
along east coastal MA/Cape/Islands and also east slopes of the
Berkshires, with potential brief reductions in VSBYs.
W/NW winds strengthen thru midday, with gusts 35-45 kt this
afternoon. Strongest winds toward the coast, Cape Cod and the
Islands.
Moderate confidence thru 18Z, then high confidence thru 00Z.
Tonight:High confidence.
Generally VFR, but will need to watch for possible SHSN across
the Outer Cape into Nantucket. NW winds to continue 15-25 kt
with gusts 30-40 kt, near 45 kt out on the Cape.
Friday: High confidence.
VFR. Winds 15-25 kt/gusts 30-40 kt early, gradually easing to
10-15 kt, with gusts to 20-25 kt by 00z Sat.
KBOS Terminal...High confidence in trends, but moderate
confidence in the specific details through 18Z. High confidence
after 18Z.
KBDL Terminal...High confidence in trends, but moderate
confidence in the specific details through 18Z. High confidence
after 18Z.
Outlook /Friday Night through Monday/...
