.WHAT HAS CHANGED...
Increased confidence in patchy fog across the region tonight,
especially in low-lying areas. Less snowfall expected Sunday
with a drier cold front. Looking warmer and wetter next week
with a chance for precipitation during the mid to late week
timeframe.
&&
.KEY MESSAGES...
- Patchy fog tonight and warmer Saturday
- Cold front brings a period of accumulating snow on Sunday. A
very cold Arctic airmass follows in its wake.
- Warmer and unsettled next week with multiple chances for
precipitation starting Tuesday into Wednesday.
&&
.DISCUSSION...
Key Message 1...Patchy fog tonight and warmer Saturday.
High pressure overhead will continue shifting east heading into the
start of the weekend. Southerly to southwesterly winds will persist
across southern New England with sea breezes remaining possible
through the rest of this afternoon. Low level temperatures climb
above 0C tonight in the midst of WAA from light southerly to
southwesterly flow. Higher dewpoints will be advected in as well,
shrinking dew point depressions and increasing the chance for patchy
fog across the region, especially amidst all the snow on the ground.
Guidance has continued to trend up the chance for patchy fog across
southern New England tonight, with the highest chances in low-lying
areas. Lows tonight will be mostly in the 20s and upper teens.
The warming trend overnight will continue through Saturday as
southwesterly flow continues and 925 mb temperatures remain around 2-
4C. 850 mb temperatures will remain above 0C through the afternoon
as well. A front passing through Saturday will shift winds more NW
heading into Saturday night. Latest guidance does not indicate much
in the way of a spot shower or two for this frontal passage as
moisture is lacking and forcing is weak (notably, lapse rates are
quite low). Lows for Saturday night will be similar to tonight's,
falling mostly in the 20s across the region ahead of a more
significant cold front Sunday.
Key Message 2...Cold front brings a period of accumulating snow on
Sunday. A very cold Arctic airmass follows in its wake.
A strong cold front moves through on Sunday and brings a period of
snow from W-E late Sunday afternoon into the evening. Trend in
guidance has been to lower overall moisture and QPF amounts.
Notably, models have shown a sharp decrease in 700-800mb RH and PWAT
values along and ahead of the front. These changes result in a
largely unsaturated DGZ with poor snowflake growth and lower overall
totals Sunday afternoon. The NBM has followed suit with probs for 1"
or greater dropping from 40-50% areawide to around 30-45%. Thus,
have gone ahead and lowered forecast snowfall totals with 1-3 inches
possible mainly along and north of the Mass Pike and lesser amounts
of up to an inch elsewhere. Still think a reasonable worst-case
scenario is a 2-4 inch event if QPF trends higher. Higher-end snow
totals should remain confined to higher terrain as temperatures
become more marginal closer to the coast.
Bigger story with the frontal passage will be a sharp drop in
temperatures Sunday night. Highs start in the 30s early in the day,
then drop into the upper 20s and upper teens by 00z Monday. Core of
the Arctic airmass moves through Sunday night with 850mb temps
falling into the mid teens below zero Celsius. No surprise that it
will be a cold night with lows falling into the single digits and
lower teens for most of the region. Well mixed boundary layer will
keep most spots from realizing the coldest possible temps. Exception
will be in interior valleys where the boundary layer is able to
decouple and increase radiational cooling. In these spots, lows may
even fall to near or just below zero! Temps will be slow to rebound
Monday even under mostly clear skies. Highs range from the lower 20s
at elevations in the interior to the upper 20s to near 30 across the
coastal plain. Low temperatures Monday night bottom out in the
single digits once again. Winds will be elevated, but do not look as
strong as previous cold air advection events as the LLJ will likely
only be 20-25 kts. Still, could see impactful wind chills Monday
morning. Most locations will see wind chill values around or just
below zero, with the lowest values across elevated portions of the
interior.
Key Message 3... Warmer and unsettled next week with multiple chances
for precipitation starting Tuesday into Wednesday.
Upper air pattern over the CONUS becomes more zonal through the
middle of next week with a strengthening Pacific Jet. Embedded
disturbances bring multiple chances for precipitation mid week.
Pattern becomes more amplified late next week with a strengthening
southeast ridge. At the surface, these changes result in
temperatures warming back to seasonal averages Tuesday through the
rest of next week. Precip type will be a bit less straightforward
than with the last few events as highs warm into the upper 30s and
low 40s.
Chances of precipitation arrive with several weak waves of
shortwave energy moving in from the Great Lakes and Ohio River
Valley during the middle to end of next week. Given the cold air in
place ahead of the first wave on Wednesday, any WAA will lead to a
messy mixed precipitation setup with anything from snow to sleet to
freezing rain. The active pattern may continue for much of the week
as a warm front stalls near Southern New England on its northward
journey. NBM has a 30-50% chance of an inch of QPF for this
timeframe so we could see hydrologic impacts but confidence is low
at this time.
