8/26/2020 The 7 day forecast is taking about 5 seconds to load but it will eventually load. NOAA is still working on it. 8/18/2020 NOAA continues to have trouble. Wind guest will occasionally be left off graphs. I am working with NOAA to resolve the issue. 12/16/2019 NOAA is having trouble with requests that include wind gusts. I am posting graphs without wind gusts until it gets fixed. 10/9/2019 Updated the Marine Zones. 9/4/2019 Fixed the weather maps due to NOAA moving them. 7/25/2019 New feature in the Airports section gives a link to 5 minute updates for data reports. |

SYNOPSIS.
Winds slacken today into tonight as high pressure builds across southern New England. A warm front produces minor snow accumulation Tuesday night into Wednesday. Unsettled for midweek with considerable cloudiness and periods of ocean effect precipitation as a powerful low pressure near the mid-Atlantic waters passes well to our south. Period of much below normal temperatures and low wind chills for late in the week, only gradually modifying into the weekend.
NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/.
10 AM Update .
Have updated things to bring it in line with the latest observations, so no changes in the latest update. Just nudged down temperatures slightly as we were a bit too warm to start off.
Previous discussion from 6 AM .
Chilly start to Monday with current temps as of this writing in the teens for most of the interior and coastal plain, to the lower 20s near the eastern MA coast. Though winds aren't quite as strong as yesterday, winds around 10-15 mph still making it feel like the single digits to the teens. Full sun expected with clear skies, though some high clouds approach late in the day. After the chilly start to the day, should see highs reach back into the upper 20s to the mid- upper 30s.
Discussion from 4 AM .
High pressure moves into southern New England today, relaxing the pressure gradient. Though it will still be gusty from mid morning into this afternoon, it will not be as strong as yesterday. With just some patches of mid and high clouds at times, and weaker cold air advection, expecting high temperatures to be right around normal for late January.
SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM TUESDAY/.
High pressure will continue to move into our region tonight, before moving over the ocean by Tuesday evening. Dry weather with rather light winds prevail through tonight.
25/00Z guidance may be a bit too quick bringing precipitation back to southern New England Tuesday given the synoptic pattern. With the high pressure to the east, low levels will start out rather dry. it will take some time to saturate enough for precipitation to reach the ground. Stayed on the slower side of the guidance for this forecast, but still brought at least a chance for some light snow Tuesday afternoon across the western half of southern New England. Light snow might not reach the coast until late in the day.
Temperatures should be near to slightly above normal during this time.
LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/.
Highlights .
* Light-accumulating snow Tues night into Wed. Possible need for winter weather advisories for the interior/Berkshires.
* Periods of ocean-effect precip and increasing north winds for coastal MA and the waters Wed into Thurs, as a powerful cyclone near the mid- Atlantic passes well southeast.
* Much colder air, some of the coldest air yet experienced in the winter season for late in the week. Sub-zero wind chills interior Thurs night, then across most of SNE Fri night.
* Moderating but still below normal temps for the weekend.
* Possible coastal storminess late Sunday or early next week? Details still uncertain.
Details:
Tuesday Night into Wednesday Night:
Looking at a couple periods of snow in this period, most notable on Tues night into early Wed; with lighter snow for later Wed into early Wed night.
In terms of trends for Tues night-early Wed, the shortwave disturbance responsible is a bit more robust at the start and also did note in uptick in QPF across most models. Still suspect the 00z GFS is a wet outlier given its tendency to overdo QPF in weak to moderately-forced warm thermal advective regimes. Despite the increase in model QPF, some of it will also be lost to saturating the column; even that looks incomplete and could support a period of FZDZ for a time. Best omega also resides below the snow growth region, suggesting that the potential for snow of even moderate- intensity might be tough to come by. The impression I get is a light- accumulating snow event. However with 850-700 mb frontogenetic forcing moving in during the latter half of the PM commute, some minor travel impact potentially Advisory-worthy now looks possible across western/central MA into northern CT where snow amounts are in the 2-5" range (highest totals in the Berkshires). Will hold on any headlines for now but may need to be considered later. Further east, amounts up to a couple inches for eastern MA/RI, and a coating for Cape Cod/Islands.
As the secondary low pulls away early on Wed, models show a signal for a trailing inverted trough which could focus another round of light snow mainly for central/eastern MA into RI and less so across the CT Valley. Snow may mix with rain across parts of southeast MA and Cape Cod.
Lows mainly in the 20s Tues and Wed nights, and highs Wed in the 30s.
Thursday:
High pressure with northerly flow remains established over Southern New England on Thurs. A potent shortwave trough moving through the central Appalachians/mid-Atlantic region on Thurs will lead to a powerful, sub-980 mb coastal low passing well south of our area (south of 40N/70W). There remains good clustering in EPS/GEFS/GEPS ensemble member lows in this progged track, so thinking this should be a miss for our area. Its main effect would be to increase northerly winds on our southern waters potentially to Gale levels. NNE flow with some moisture will likely lead to considerable cloudiness with potential ocean effect precip/snow for Cape Cod into South Shore. Highs mid to upper 30s.
Thursday Night into Friday Night:
A short-lived, but significant pattern change toward well below normal temperatures and low wind chills looks to be in the offing in this period. This occurs as a piece of the polar vortex centered over Hudson Bay digs southeast later Thurs night into Fri.
Models continue to advertise some of the coldest air yet experienced to this point in the winter season intruding into Southern New England Thurs night into Fri. 925 mb temps fall to around -15 to -20C, not really expected to modify until early in the weekend. The colder air will be accompanied by NW winds around 15-20 mph/gusts to 30 mph helping to produce low wind chills. Low temperatures Thurs night in the single digits to mid teens. It looks like the coldest air comes in Fri into Fri night with highs only in the teens to low 20s and lows in the single digits to low teens. Lowest wind chills Thurs night/early Fri between 5 above and 5 below zero, and around -10F across the Berkshires. By Fri night, wind chills project even lower given the colder air. Outside of Cape Cod, most areas should see sub- zero wind chills with values in parts of the interior potentially approaching Advisory levels. The air mass is so dry that opted for a dry forecast despite the potent upper low digging southward.
The Weekend:
The very cold air mass gradually modifies into the weekend, with high pressure remaining in control. This should support mainly dry weather into Sunday, though temperatures will still trend below- average for late January.
Later Sunday into Mon, there are indications of coastal storminess reflected in deterministic and ensemble guidance passing near or over SNE. Typical large spread in ensemble member lows at this range as well as varied timing limits predictability, but this late- weekend/early-next week period is one that bears watching for possible wintry weather.

NW winds will continue to diminish today into tonight as a high pressure overspreads the waters. Threat of freezing spray across the eastern coastal waters diminishes this morning. Rough seas will continue to subside as well.
Small Craft Advisories continue into tonight for the eastern outer coastal waters. Closer to shore, canceled the advisories for most of the south coastal waters based on latest observations and expectations. Extended the Small Craft Advisories for Boston Harbor and Nantucket Sound as latest observations indicated it will take a little longer for conditions to improve.
