The episode as NWS BOX wrote it up.
A southerly low-level jet ahead of an approaching cold front moved across southeastern New England shortly after midnight on January 26th. A low pressure system tracked northeast along the front from roughly Philadelphia to Boston during the overnight hours, producing some light snow inland but 1 to 2.5 inches of rain and strong/high wind in Rhode Island, southeast Massachusetts, and the adjacent coastal waters.

NWS Boston/Norton, MA wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jan 26, 12:57 AM EST, 11 minutes earlier.
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Boston/Norton MA
1257 AM EST Thu Jan 26 2023
.SYNOPSIS...
Snow arrives late this afternoon into early evening, before changing
over to heavy rain fairly rapidly from south to north tonight and
ends early Thursday morning. Gusty winds accompany this storm
through Thursday. Tranquil weather Friday and Saturday with
temperatures slightly above late January normals. A more active
pattern then develops early to mid next week with the potential
for a series of frontal system to affect Southern New England.
Specifics still aren't clear, but the weather pattern favors
mixed wintry precipitation or rain.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THIS MORNING/...
1 AM Update:
The final Winter Weather Advisories have been allowed to expire
as warmer air has turned any winter precip over to plain rain. A
few isolated pockets of FZRA is not out of the question across
extreme northern MA along the state boundary of NH/VT, given
how small of an area this is, decided not to extend the
advisory.
Viewing regional satellite and radar, able to see the back edge
of the cloud and precip shelf moving through the Hudson Valley
in NY. Folks in extreme northwest MA will see rainfall rates
decrease. Moderate to heavy rain does continue across the
eastern half of southern New England. The period of heaviest
rain is from now through 09z/10z.
---------------------------------------------------------------
1005 PM Update:
Winter Weather Advisory was canceled for northern RI/CT along
with the southern Pioneer Valley of MA. Obs have shown warming
conditions that have changed any SN/FZRA to RA. The advisory
does continue through 06z for portions of northeast, central and
western MA. In addition, made a slight modification to the near
term temperatures, blended in the latest HRRR with the current
forecast. Otherwise the forecast update from 7pm remains on
track. See prior discussion below.
---------------------------------------------------------------
705 PM Update:
Areas of light precip have broken out across all of SNE at this
hour, with light snow across the interior or snow mixed with
rain across eastern and southeast MA and into RI. Radar mosaic
shows an area of drier air across interior New England which
has resulted in a lull in accumulating snow. However the 18z
guidance and recent few HRRR runs were steadfast in filling this
area back in between 23-01z and that does appear to be taking
place. Kept the winter weather advisory going but thinking more
steady light snow with visibility probably no worse than 3/4SM
in the more persistent snows; there just isn't the snow
microphysical parameters at play for heavier type snows with
the stronger lift lying below the dendrite growth layer. In
eastern MA and RI, there is not much time left for accumulations
as dewpoints are rising and temperature should also rise
considerably into the late evening and overnight.
At least as much of a concern to the light-accumulating snow is
the heavy rain for the late evening into the pre-dawn hrs
especially for eastern CT, RI and eastern/southeast MA. Overall
no significant change to the forecast thinking (mentioned below)
regarding the heavy rains. A few river flood warnings are
already active for the Wood, Pawcatuck and Pawtuxet Rivers and
fast responses on smaller creeks and streams in SE MA, RI and
eastern CT should also be expected. Have to see how close the
heavy rain axis makes it into the Greater Boston area; as of now
the greatest confidence for where the heavy rain axis may lie is
just south into the eastern CT, RI/Greater Providence area and
into adjacent SE MA. While we're not expecting a significant or
widespread flooding problem, overnight drivers and early-
morning commuters in these areas will need to be prepared for
difficult driving conditions as well as the risk for street
flooding and hydroplaning.
SE/S winds have been slowly picking up with some gusts across
the south coast now in the 25 mph range. Core of the SE low
level jet still has yet to arrive but the trend will be upward
with the strongest SE/S gusts for the overnight, nearly in
lockstep with the heavier rain.
Previous discussion from 430 PM:
* Multi-Hazard Storm later today and especially tonight
* Low risk of isolated flash flooding in eastern CT/RI and southeast
MA late tonight
Tonight...
1) Snow: At 4 pm snow overspreading CT, western-central MA and into
RI, moving rapidly northeast. Limiting factors for snow
accumulations include parent low tracking into the eastern Great
Lakes and antecedent airmass over SNE is only marginally cold enough
to support snow. Thus, WAA will quickly modify this airmass with
snow changing over the rain fairly quickly from south to north,
except along the immediate south coast, where mainly rain is
expected. There will be an hour or two of moderate to perhaps
briefly heavy snow thru 00z across CT/RI and eastern MA. After 00z,
steady/accumulating snow will be confined to western-central MA and
then exit northern MA by midnight. Short duration event combined
with lift in the DGZ and marginal temps will limit snow
accumulations to a coating to 2 inches across northern CT, northwest
RI and into the I-495 corridor of eastern MA. Less snow south and
east into the I-95 corridor to the coastline. 2-4" along and north
of I-90 and west of I-495 to the MA/NH/VT border. Thus, winter
weather advisory remains posted for this region. Given marginal
surface temps, greatest risk for snow covered roads will be across
the higher elevations of Worcester County and the Berkshires.
2) Heavy Rain: impressive s/wv trough with attending 150 kt jet
streak moving up the eastern Seaboard tonight, will be accompanied
by anomalous PWATs of 1.25 inches, which is +4 sigma for late Jan!
This induces secondary low pressure developing along/near the I-95
corridor from PHL to BOS from 06z-12z. This is also accompanied by
75 kt low level southerly jet, with the nose of this jet along the I-
95 corridor. Thus, strong jet dynamics acting on anomalous moist
airmass results in widespread 1-2 inches of qpf, heaviest amounts
across eastern CT-RI into southeast MA. Isolated higher amounts are
possible in this area, as dry slot approaches 06-12z, steepening mid
level lapse rates and combining with some low level instability (as
dew pts climb into the low 50s), convective elements may develop,
such as a broken fine line of low top convection. Some of the hi res
guidance, such as the NAMnest generating a swath of 4-5" of rain
from eastern CT into RI and southeast MA. Some of the global
guidance such as the EC, offering close to 3" in this area.
Therefore, low probability of isolated flashing flooding 06z-12z
across eastern CT/RI and southeast MA. This could impact
the early morning commute. Therefore, flood watch remains posted.
3) Strong Winds: strong low level southerly jet up to 75 kt moves
across the south coast 06z-09z. Model soundings have notable low
level inversion, but this erodes somewhat as surface temps rise into
the low 50s late tonight/early Thu morning. Also, heavy rain with
embedded convective elements could increase the wind threat.
Therefore, we expanded the wind advisory one more set of zones
northward to include Providence eastward into Bristol and Plymouth
counties.
4) Coastal Flooding: See coastal flood section at the bottom of this
discussion.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM THIS MORNING THROUGH 6 PM FRIDAY/...
430 PM update...
Highlights...
* Leftover heavy rain/standing water from overnight may impact the
early morning commute in RI & southeast MA
Any showers at daybreak will over eastern MA and moving rapidly
offshore. However, if isolated 3+ rainfall materialize overnight
across eastern CT/RI and southeast MA, could be quite a bit of
standing water on area roadways impacting the early morning commute.
Then sunshine develops behind the front later in the morning, but
cyclonic flow aloft combined with steepening low level lapse rates
will result in clouds filling back in. Strong cold air advection
with 850 mb temps falling from +7C in the morning (surface temps in
the low 50s at daybreak across southeast MA) to -7C by late in the
day. Low prob a few snow showers or flurries from LES spill over the
Berks into the region. Otherwise, falling temps and blustery with
west winds 15-25 mph, gusting up to 35 mph. Temps falling thru the
40s and 30s during the day, along with colder wind chills.
Thursday night...
Dry and seasonably cold, but diminishing winds as weak ridge of high
pressure advects into SNE from west to east. Lows in the 20s for
most locations.
&&
.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
430 PM update...
Highlights:
* Mix of sun and clouds, but dry and tranquil weather Fri and Sat.
Temps slightly above seasonable.
* Unsettled weather pattern late weekend into midweek with series of
frontal systems to affect the area. Specifics are uncertain at
this time but pattern favors mixed wintry precip types and/or rain.
Details:
Friday and Saturday:
High pressure in place on Fri offering dry weather and a mix of
clouds and sun. Will be on the cooler side but still above normal
for this time of year with highs in the mid to upper 30s.
Increasing clouds ahead of a Clipper type low for Fri night and
continuing into Sat; however the Clipper itself is pretty starved
for moisture and also translates to our north and west. As such, its
only influence will be increasing SW breezes (gusts 25-30 mph)
during the day on Sat, then decreasing by the evening. Lows Fri
night in the upper teens north to mid/upper 20s (around freezing
near Cape Cod/Islands). For Sat under some cloud cover, highs mainly
in the lower to middle 40s with lows mainly in the 20s to near
freezing.
Sunday through Tuesday:
Today's 12z ensembles and deterministic models all generally agree
on the mid-level pattern in this period. This pattern features
slight amplification to a mid-level ridge near the Gulf of Mexico or
Gulf Coast states. An initially active northern stream of the jet
(driven by shortwave energy rotating southward from amplifying ridge
into Alaska/-EPO type pattern) then become split as some of this
energy digs into the SW CONUS toward early next week. This creates
an enhanced WSW mid-level flow/preferred storm track, with
indications for one or multiple disturbances moving ENE in the WSW
flow aloft into early to mid next week. Hate to use the term
"temperature battle ground", but that's pretty much what it is with
frigid air on the northern fridge of the storm track and mild
temperatures to the south and east of height gradient/storm track.
Overall, lower than usual confidence in this portion of the long-
term forecast.
It's a pattern that tends to favor mixed p-types to rain scenarios,
but given the colder air to the north, we do have to watch for
periodic intrusions of this colder air southward that could force
more wintry types than rain. Besides the surface temps, the strength
of each system, their timing in a fast WSW flow aloft and the
thermal structure aloft are all pretty low-confidence at this point.
At this point it looks like a progressive/weaker frontal system
Sunday night into Mon with another system around Tue or Wed that
could be more significant. But as mentioned, details/specifics are
highly uncertain and ensemble trends will need to be monitored.
Have indicated temps still on the above-average side but these too
will also need to be more carefully monitored/adjusted.
