.WHAT HAS CHANGED...
Confidence is increasing in dangerously cold wind chills, strong
wind gusts and heavy freezing spray over the waters this weekend.
&&
.KEY MESSAGES...
- Mainly dry through Thu with very cold nights. Temperatures
trending colder Wed & Thu.
- More active Friday into this weekend. Chance for dangerously
cold wind chills along with strong winds and heavy freezing
spray over the waters.
&&
.DISCUSSION...
KEY MESSAGE 1...Mainly dry through Thu with very cold nights.
Temperatures trending colder Wed & Thu.
A quiet weather pattern continues through the end of the week. A
dry cold front crosses the region on Wednesday bringing slightly
cooler temperatures to southern New England through the end of
the week before a colder shot of arctic air this weekend. High
temps Wednesday through Friday generally in the mid to upper 20s
with much colder overnight lows generally in the single digits
across the region. A dry column will support mainly sunny skies
through Friday afternoon.
KEY MESSAGE 2...More active Friday into this weekend. Chance
for dangerously cold wind chills along with strong winds and
heavy freezing spray over the waters.
Southern New England likely to remain under the influence of a
weak high pressure through the end of this week. Expecting dry
weather through most of Friday with temperatures about 10-15
degrees below normal.
Still expecting an arctic front to cross our region some time
Friday night into Saturday morning. This will provide another
surge of arctic air into this weekend. The core of this arctic
air mass presently looks to arrive for Sunday, although this
timing may change with later forecasts.
Overall, this front continued to look moisture-starved, with its
parent low pressure moving across northern New England. Not
anticipating much snowfall at this time, but it is 4 days away
which is plenty of time for things to change. Current thinking
is more about snow showers and possible squalls with the arctic
front itself, then transitioning to more of an ocean-effect
snowfall. Wind direction will be everything here, controlling no
only the amount of moisture available, but also the locations
most likely to see accumulating snowfall. NW winds generally
favor the coastal waters east of the Cape and islands. A subtle
shift of even 20 degrees more northerly, could back this
snowfall closer to the outer Cape and Nantucket. It will be
another day or two before we have high confidence in the wind
directions and corresponding snowfall accumulations.
Thinking additional cold weather headlines will be needed at
some point this weekend, both on land and at sea. expecting
minimum wind chills of -15 to -30 across most of southern New
England some time from late Saturday into Sunday morning. Wind
Advisories may be needed for portions of the coast, as well as
the islands. Finally, across the coastal waters, there is a high
likelihood for a period of moderate to heavy freezing spray this
weekend into early next week.
