.WHAT HAS CHANGED...
Increasing confidence in a period of snow showers with light
accumulations late Friday night into Saturday ahead of the arctic
front, then additional ocean effect snow showers for Cape Cod and
Nantucket through Saturday night.
&&
.KEY MESSAGES...
- Dry and quiet weather through Thu night but with cold
temperatures especially during the overnight and early morning
hours.
- More active Friday into this weekend. Bitterly cold into early
next week. Chance for dangerously cold wind chills this
weekend along with strong winds and heavy freezing spray over
the waters.
&&
.DISCUSSION...
KEY MESSAGE 1...Dry and quiet weather through Thu night but with
cold temperatures especially during the overnight and early
morning hours.
A ridge of high pressure in control will result in dry but cold
weather through Thu night. This is especially true during the
overnight/early morning hours given light/calm winds coupled
with deep snow cover. This will allow for low temps to dip into
the single digits in many outlying locations with even a few
below zero readings in the normally coldest low-lying spots.
Meanwhile...the urban centers and typical non-decoupling
locations will bottom out mainly in the teens. Highs on Thu will
be mainly in the upper 20s to near 30 with plenty of sunshine
and light winds.
KEY MESSAGE 2...More active Friday into this weekend. Bitterly
cold into early next week. Chance for dangerously cold wind
chills this weekend along with strong winds and heavy freezing
spray over the waters.
Our relatively quiet weather should end late this week into
this weekend. Latest guidance suite added a slight wrinkle into
the forecast. One low pressure is still expected to move well
offshore of southern New England Friday. The wrinkle is what
becomes of a second low pressure that was projected to move into
the Great Lakes and northern New England. The latest guidance
now has this low pressure essentially jump to somewhere around
the NJ coast Friday night into Saturday morning in response to
diabatic heating from the ocean and the arctic airmass poised to
overspread our region.
Some light, fluffy snow showers are possible across southern
New England from the combination of the arctic front and weak
low pressure. Snow showers could be more enhanced towards the
eastern coastline by any lingering ocean effect processes. Some
snow squalls are a possibility as well with this front. Right
now, thinking sub-advisory level snowfall of 1-3 inches is
possible through Saturday. The details are still coming into
better focus, so further changes are possible with later
forecasts.
Following the arctic front passage, dangerous cold will settle
over our region. Confidence is increasing in the possibility
for cold weather headlines, especially when the core of this
arctic air moves in sometime Saturday night into Sunday morning.
Still looking like sub-zero minimum wind chills ranging from -10
to -30 degrees for most. Ensemble guidance continues to center the
higher probabilities for wind chills below -25F towards the
Berkshires and the higher elevations of central MA. These
bitterly cold conditions are expected to last into the start
of next week.
As mentioned above, an offshore low is expected to deepen,
which will lead to southern New England being caught in the
tightening pressure gradient as high pressure remains towards
the Great Lakes. Gale-force winds are a possibility over the
waters, and we may end up needing wind headlines on land as
well, particularly towards the outer Cape and Nantucket. Gale
Watches posted for most of the coastal waters from Saturday
afternoon through Sunday morning.
With the elevated winds and very cold temperatures, confidence
is increasing in the chance for moderate to heavy freezing spray
over the waters this weekend as well.
