A Mostly Rainstorm, Then Colder For A While

11:20PM

The weather is trying to remember that it’s wintertime, and making some minor progress. šŸ™‚

A dusting to around 1 inch (isolated areas) of snow fell almost by surprise early Tuesday morning as a disturbance coming out of New York held together well enough and in cold enough air to put down just enough snow to slick up a few roads for the morning commute. All of that melted as it turned milder during the day Tuesday, and it’sĀ  now a memory. We have a quiet but chilly day coming up Wednesday as high pressure builds to the north of New England and a storm system approaches from the southwest, though still far enough away that we will see a fair amount of sun during the day.

The storm, carrying plenty of warm air with it, will bump into some chilly air in place as it arrives in the early hours of Thursday, so this may mean that precipitation starts as snow in some areas, especially north and west of Boston, where minor accumulations of snow are possible. Meaningful snow from this system should be confined to the mountains of New Hampshire and Maine, with some ski areas picking up significant accumulation during Thursday.Ā  Up to a couple inches of slushy accumulation may occur in the higher elevations of Worcester County, but no significant accumulation is expected from around 495 south and east, including Boston. The Thursday storm will be a quick-mover too, so once the warm air is established and it’s raining in the Boston area, the back edge of the steady precipitation will already be approaching and should cross the region from southwest to northeast by early or mid afternoon, with only lingering drizzle after.

As far as the unsettled weather goes, this will not be the end of the story, as this is a dual storm system. The main upper level trough still has to swing through the region Friday into Saturday, and waves of energy will produce additional precipitation in bands, first in the form of rain as we remain in relatively mild air through Friday morning. It may even be unstable enough for thunder to occur in a heavier band of rain showers sometime Friday morning. Once we get to the afternoon, any rain showers will change to snow showers as colder air moves in, but they should be scattered in nature. Only a slight risk of a line of snow showers or squalls exists for Friday evening as one more trough crosses the region from west to east.

Saturday will be a tranquil but colder day. The cold air gets reinforced by another disturbance crossing the region Sunday. This disturbance may result in snow showers, but no organized widespread snow is expected. This should be gone so that MLK Jr. Day is a dry but cold one. But as has been the case for weeks up to this point, the cold will not be sustained and we’ll already be back into mild air by Tuesday of next week as high pressure slides offshore and low pressure heads for the Great Lakes.

A note on the medium range: My opinion is that we will be unable to sustain cold air for more than a couple of days at a time at least during the next 10 to 15 days. The things working against sustained cold weather in the eastern US:Ā  Lack of high pressure ridge in western North America, too much west to east flow and Pacific air. Lack of snow cover over much of south central Canada and the US Lower 48, which allows air masses to modify more quickly than they would if they were traveling over snow-covered ground. Also, the configuration of the upper level pattern over Alaska and the Bering Sea is unfavorable for a colder setup here in this area. A rule of thumb: When Alaska is colder than normal, we usually don’t stay cold for long, if at all. We’re getting the colder shots of air at times now, but they are not staying. Getting snow in this pattern will depend on timing of disturbances. We’ll deal with those as they come along.

Enough babble, now to the detailed forecast for the Boston Area…

OVERNIGHT: Bright moonlight in a clear sky. Low 18-23. Wind N around 10 MPH.

THURSDAY: Overcast. Snow/mix in the 495 belt may accumulate up to a slushy inch before turning to rain. Elsewhere, just rain, which may fall heavily for a brief time late in the morning. Steady rain ends southwest to northeast between 1PM and 3PM, with lingering drizzle and areas of fog after. High ranging from near 40 in the Merrimack Valley to near 50 from Boston south, being reached late in the day. Wind NE 10-20 MPH with higher gusts, shifting more E to SE then diminishing somewhat later in the day.

  3. The current NWS Zone Forecast is among the worst-worded forecast I have seen. From it you can infer steady precip for over 24 hours, which will in reality only last about 8 hours. You can also infer liquid rain at 30 degrees, and freezing rain at 45 degrees. Very poor job. I don’t mean to bash, but they should be able to put out a better product.

  6. Thanks TK !!!

    I’ll be interested today in the dewpoints and surface winds. If, by evening, the surface winds are like they are currently in western NY, mostly east and southeast…and the dewpoints are increasing, quickly at the coast and slowly in the interior, then I think that will be an early indicator that the current WWA are not going to verify in Massachusetts for the current areal coverage.

  7. Yesterday came in at +10F for Logan. Unfortunately, the climate month to date report has yet to update to include this, but I’m guessing for the first third of the month, Logan is at about +6F anomoly…….The rest of the month, signals would suggest the remaining 21 days to average above normal. I’m thinking the 5.7F and 5.4F from Nov and Dec are going to be beat.

    In my opinion, Thursday night’s warmth will create a Thursday high and a Friday high that are going to more than offset the two cold days of Saturday and Sunday.

    Have a good day all !!!

  8. today mostly sunny highs in the mid 30s
    tonight: becoming cloudy snow and/ or rain no accumulation
    thursday:mostly cloudy snow,sleet freezing rain and rain in the morning. then rain and a chance of sleet and freezing rain. highs in the upper 30s
    thursday night cloudy lows in the low 30s
    friday mostly cloudy chance of morning snow and rain showers highs in the low 40s
    friday night becoming clear breezy temps falling to the mid 20s
    saturday through monday night: mostly sunny durring the days with partly cloudy skies durring the nights highs in the 20s lows in the 10s and single digits
    tuesday: cloudy and warmer highs in the upper 30s

    thursday storms precipitation type will depend on how far the warm front goes. So a change in the warm front will change the amounts but for now i am thinking
    none south and east of boston
    up to 2 inches around 495 and the mass pike
    2-4 north of the pike and away from 495.
    a general 2-4 inches but some 6 inch amounts can not be not mentioned for the Berkshires.
    5 to 6 + for southern new hampshire and vt up through ski country.

  10. Where Snow does happen in SNE it will be MINOR (under 4 inches) This is mostly a rain event.
    Sunday a storm is expected to remain offshore but maybe with some luck it could come a little closer to give us some light snow. Will see what future model runs have to say on that feature.

    1. Christie that’s what my husband said – and I think if I’m reading correctly in the same tone of voice you used šŸ™‚ He’s not used to having any other cars on the road with him in the morning so commuting from the south shore is a wake up call for him šŸ™‚

      2. I’m in the Worcester hills and we always seem to get the worst of the ice in these messy storms. Not looking forward to tomorrow morning. May your husband have a safe commute!

  13. The ocean is more active this morning. Ch 7 said wind advisory for the coast tomorrow with possible wind up to 50 mph here – YAY šŸ™‚

  15. Mt Washington temp up to 14F……..dewpoints are only in the low 20s….with the real low dewpoints Portland, ME north and east and this airmass is getting worked on a bit by a fairly sunny day.

  18. I never did buy the hype on sustained cold. I wonder why good forecasters like Matt Noyes did. The SE ridge is not breaking down. There is no High over Greenland. We continue to get a zonal flow, and the suppression of the jet stream is so short-lived it’s incredible. I am happy the hills and mountains will have some snow, thankfully. They may actually get quite a bit the coming days. But, I’m afraid Boston may not get any at all this winter. I know I’m in dangerous territory making that kind of prediction, as we do have February and March to contend with, but I don’t see any real change to this pattern. Brett Anderson’s long-range predictions, based on an ensemble of the Euro and Canadian models, have been the most accurate. He warned at least 1 month ago that this would be one of the mildest winters on record for the Northeast, and he did not see any reason to change his mind last week (despite almost everyone biting on a pattern shift; Bastardi, HM, and others included)

    1. Anderson did make that call Joshua and as I’ve posted before, I think he’s one of the better forecasters out there. Joe Lundberg is right there too.

  19. Boston received 0.5″ of snow from yesterday’s disturbance assuring that January 2012 will NOT be snowless. I would say that this amount will be recorded as the final total with no more snow events expected until mid-February at the earliest.

    Any significant snow events will occur from mid-February to early April, which obviously are our last opportunites. If Boston does not receive at least 7.5 inches of snow this winter, then there will be a new record for least snowiest.

    1. 1.5″ = 2011-2012* (so far)
    2. 9.0″ = 1936-37
    3. 10.3″ = 1972-73
    4. 12.7″ = 1979-80
    5. 14.9″ = 1994-95

    1. Absolutely crazy, and for me, sad! I live in the Northeast because I love the change of seasons, and especially the snow. However, we have to have an occasional bust of a winter to make other winters seem worth it. (Right?)

    2. Right now, I’d wager this season goes down in history as the least
      Snowiest Ever for Boston. Of course there is still time, but right now
      I just don’t see it.

    3. Good stats Philip. I wonder how weather freaks like us felt back in 1936 when the earth was basically still flat.

  20. This reminds of me of the winter of 2001-02. Hopefully this winter will not end of like that one. I don’t think this will be the least snowiest on record.

    1. True, but at least in 2001-2002 we had a real cold shot just prior to Christmas that made it feel like Christmas, in January we had the miracle playoff victory in the snow during a real snowstorm, and the Patriots’ victory parade was in early February on a cloudless, cold day (I believe in the upper teens). I’m not sure if we’ll match that this year.

  21. I am totaly surprised by Matt Noyes, he really is one of the best and he must not have seen things correctly. I guess we are getting close to throwing in the towel on this winter. We will be punished for this during the summer, mark my words.

    2. Oh boy, I hope your wrong about that summer call Hadi but it’s something floating around in my head too. Maybe TK can chime in on some analogue summers after winters like this.

      Don’t know how or when but we’ll get a couple whacks before this winter is out.

      I wonder how much the models have the ability to handicap the lack of snowcover into temperature forcasts. I guess what I’m getting at is have the longer range deep cold predictions been busted by higher surface warming from lack of snow cover. And do the models have trouble with this. TK? Anyone else?

      1. The winter of 01-02 was a dud and that was followed by a hot summer with some spots in SNE recording over 30 90
        degree plus days. The follwing winter had above normal snowfall which included The Presidents Day Storm.

  22. I hope it won’t be that hot this summer.
    Just for laughs the Almanac calls for a hot and dry summer but next winter starts with a bang including a significant snowfall in December.

    1. I might be okay with a hot summer as long as it’s not too humid. (I know, I can dream.)

      What was the Almanac’s general idea for this winter? Is it anywhere close to what’s been going on so far? The FA has always intrigued me.

  23. The Farmers’ ALmanac called for above normal temps and wet stormy conditions. They are calling for a big storm in February between the 20-23rd with 12 plus inches of heavy wet snow Mid Atlantic Northeast. I joked about this a few weeks ago since Henry Marguisty was thinking there would be a big storm in February and I said he must be going by The Farmers’ Almanac There is another for March 4-7 but the bullseye seems to be the Mid Atlantic with significant snowfall possible. After that no more wintry threats.

    1. I remember a couple years back we got a really intense line that dumped an inch in about 3-4 minutes and temps just crashed. I was looking at radar at the time and telling my wife about it and timed it perfectly as to be out there. Of course she thought I was nuts:)

  26. The thing to me when you have a squall line coming through is the possiblity of a flash freeze. I am a little more concerned about that than the amount of snow the squall could put down.

  27. Random thought, but I’ve often thought about this..How cool would it be if there was Weather talk radio just like we have sports talk radio? Wondering how much interest there would be in that? Would have to be an internet radio station.

      1. I’ve thought about that before Scott–I bet more interest than you’d think.

        Imagine the hype on that platform—my God. Look what talk has done to politics & sports.

        1. I’m sure interest would depend on the region. San Diego for instance would be pretty boring. I think it would be a good way of notifying the public from a public safety standpoint as well.

    2. I actually have an internet radio station, but all it does right now is play 80s music. šŸ˜‰

  29. when the pats had their first super bowl win. we had a below normal snowfall. Maybe the patriots will win the super bowl this year. lol

    We might add some snow to the low amounts tomorrow. Models are still showing signs of change of tracks we will be dealing with a now casting situation late tonight and early tomorrow as the warm front moves north.

    1. Looking at the 18Z NAM, it doesn’t take long to get that 850MB oC line
      to pass North of Boston!! Lol. Looks to be progressing Northward QUICKLY!!

      That still may mean some ICE interior, but in Boston => Plain Ole RAIN! with
      perhaps a touch of light snow at the outset.

  30. Hi Everyone-

    Last week I wrote a little about this storm and more about what I saw over the next couple of weeks. I think my opening line was don’t throw things at me. Nothing has really changed in my thinking. That is why I have not added much to the posts here about this storms potential of MLK weekend, etc. I just don’t see any significant pattern change. That does not mean there can’t be a storm, but I do not see a prolonged period of winter weather. I blew some forecasts early last winter because I was unwilling to accommodate the persistence of the pattern we were in from 12/25 to 2/15 of 2011. This year you have to be willing to not forecast on hope, but much more from the stand point of the persistence of the pattern. I think you should enjoy the fascinating nature of this winter. Seasonal norms are made up of not whole bunch of years that are exactly the same but a bunch of years that can be drastically different then averaged together.

    TK is right on in my opinion with this storm in the next 10-20 days of the winter if not longer. As for the NWS out of Taunton, some good people. I just don’t get some of their thought process. They almost seem as desperate as the media to feed into the hype machine. They are issuing winter storm watches, advisories, and warnings and then issue forecasts that don’t meet their own minimum requirements for issuance. I am lost…

    NAM/SREF/GFS blend for the tonight tomorrow. ECWMF too cold. Similar to its performance in the short range on a lot of the NOV-Jan events.

  32. I was just looking at the 12z NAM for Fitchburg. Which can frequently be a favorable region for snow growth. Its critical thickness levels are never cold enough to snow while it is precipitating. If the NAM is too warm with its well documented cold bias during these events then snow amounts don’t need to be bumped up, they need to be scaled down.

    1. JMA,

      Agree. Look at where this thing is going. There is really NO coastal
      redevelopment here! Let’s face it, we have yet another INSIDE RUNNER!!!!

      The only hope for snow/ice up North is that it is bumping into some COLDER
      air (at least up there) for a change, where previous inside runners weren’t
      bumping into anything. lol

  33. JMA I was puzzled last night when they issued WSW for 2-4 inches against their criteria. Thanks for the info!! You think we break the all time low for snowfall.

    1. Hadi,

      If we get much farther into this Winter, still snowless, then I for one, will
      be rooting for us to SMASH the all time Low snowfall record!! LOL

  35. Hadi-I don’t know about breaking the record. It takes one significant storm that is anomalous to the pattern to keep records from getting broken. I do know I feel pretty confident that the pattern we are in is not breaking down anytime soon and the majority of storms that ride up the coast or come out of the Tennesse Valley are going to run between the SE Ridge and the Great Lakes Trough which essentially means an inside runner. The other persistent fact of this winter is the storms almost always come on the heals of an anomalously warm day with S/SSW winds. At 3:00pm its 45 in Chicopee and Hartford with S or Southwest winds.

    1. I just looked at that. Amazing!! 44 at North Adams!!

      Btw, look at this Bouy report: 45.1 degrees. This is a fair amount ABOVE
      normal. Should be something like 38-40 degrees.

    1. change that 1 to 4 inces for the high terrain. thats it. everyone else mainly rain. At least after the storm it will be cold enough to blow my snow makers

    1. And once we wait for February, we’ll have to wait for March
      and once we are in March, we’ll be FULL into SPRING!! and that
      will be all she wrote!!

    1. … and it’s a good thing, too! Have you seen the recent prices of home heating oil? Something’s got to give!

  39. Hey Vicki.

    Coastal Flood Advisory tomorrow for minor flooding at high tide….about 12 to 1pm….nothing serious, but you should see a pretty good surge of water on the south river. Enjoy !!

    1. Hi Tom. Thanks. I am very excited. Except I’m here alone and no one to enjoy it with. :(. Wind is slowly picking up.

  40. UGH, the MJO is going to take some time to get out of phase 7…
    There will be a few very cold days over the next 10 days, but they will be DRY..
    We are losing the strat. warming for the time being, and looking towards the next week, the PV wimps out and doesn’t restrengthen for a time.
    It’s very frustrating to see as a snow lover, just have to hope Feb and March are able to bring the snow.

  41. Have a look at this surface chart.

    Note that there is cold air over us and to the North, However, look at the light SE
    wind at Portland ME. Would like to see a stiff North or NorthEast wind draining that
    cold air down. Thus, whatever cold is in place will be fairly EASILY scoured out, I am afraid. I don’t see Cold Air Daming setting up at all.

    As JJ would say, a rainorama!! LOL. At the very outset, a touch of snow can’t be ruled out, but even if so, very short lived.

    http://weather.unisys.com/satellite/sat_sfc.php?inv=0&t=cur

    1. Yes……Boston’s high at 38F so far today……think it will drop a couple degrees the next couple hrs….then, I wonder, as it rises slowly, if it gets warmer than 38F before midnight to change today’s official high temp.

  42. Highlights from update coming this evening:

    -No change in short-term and medium-range thoughts.
    -Thursday event: Precip, mainly rain, is in by 5AM (Boston area) and gone by 3PM, if not before.
    -Friday event: Squall line, probably rain, and a risk of thunder, crosses the region in the morning. Windy day. Temps drop, and waves of instability bring chance of showers that trend from rain to mix to snow but as atmosphere dries out activity gets more isolated.
    -Friday night: One final snow shower/squall?
    MLK Jr Weekend: Cold! Snow shower threat still exists for Sunday.

    Be back a bit later…

  43. Thanks TK.

    The only encouraging thing is for ski country as they should receive 6+ inches. Interesting that grey Maine is going with the colder GFS due to the cold high parked over northern Maine. My in laws in Augusta area are expecting close to 10 inches and they are in valley.

    1. Augusta’s dewpoint is -1F !!! There’s quite a dewpoint boundary in southern Maine from the upper teens to lower 20s in southernmost Maine that dramatically drop off to low single digits, above and below zero in central/northern Maine.

  44. Although It looks like rain for Boston, we need to be in at 3am for stormwatch just incase. Hey two days in a row of overtime I’ll take it. I guess they are just worried about what fall’s at the start. Rain right?

  45. vicki- I think your husband leaving early tomorrow is a good idea. I am alway’s amazed with how rt3 slows down with just rain, or any major roadway for that matter.

    1. Thanks John. He left here at 5:15 this morning and said it was great. Maybe by 5 tomorrow. He has fri and mon off so can catch up on sleep then.

    1. Not windy here at all. Well Vicki again received an email today on postponing
      Sundays opening of outdoor rink to 1/21.

            1. I was thinking of her when I wrote that šŸ™‚ Part of the untold story is that I had bought all kinds of supplies for no power and early on during Irene, my wife and our Marshfield friends were laughing at my preparations during the morning’s relatively light breezes. Not too long after, we lost the power in Marshfield and a lot of south shore for a while and I had the last laugh and lots of precious ice on hand, a full tank of gas in the car and cash on hand. šŸ™‚

              1. Tom we did the same. And again during the Halloween storm. Several people in the store laughed at me when I bought a dozen bags of ice

                I tell the story of your daughter often. It just makes me laugh

        2. For the beach facing homes these winter storms can be so intense to watch. I remember watching some frome my friends home in the sandhills section of Scituate. For him though he has seen enough, just sold his house. It came to the point that they were afraid to stay there. They had some intense damage the last few winters.

  47. Under the upper level low circulation, there is a thunderstorm with a tornado occuring in western North Carolina.

  49. Understandably, tomorrow’s storm is the focus. But, I think Friday morning could be interesting………mild……but quite interesting. Seems the great Lakes system is deepening as it passes through (from 992mb over Ohio to 976mb just north of New Hampshire). The way the cold front/occlusion is entering New England makes me think it has a chance to draw some very mild air up ahead of it tomorrow night and so, with a deepening system, I wonder if a strong line of thunderstorms is possible Friday morning.

    1. Pete said the same thing almost. He said fridays storm will be interesting with thunder, although he did say It could start with hail. With the temp to fall during the day, I wonder If we may have some icing issues Friday evening.

      1. Maybe…..but I think the most of the roads will have a chance to dry off before the serious cold arrives…..

        I am glad no snow for Pats game……I think Denver’s offensive strength is their running game, conversely, Patriots game is their passing game. I just think adverse field conditions would hamper the Pats strengths more than Denver’s. I’d be worried on a snowcovered field that the game would be more even. On a clear field, I’m hoping the Patriots superior offense can perform to its maximum.

        1. I started worrying about wind a few days ago during the game. TK made me feel better but I’m nervous again.

            1. I think the pats have the edge with the cold weather. Brady knows how to play in the cold, where as the other guy is new to it. I see blowout here as pats won’t loose another 1st playoff game like last two years. Brady has show he can play in any weather cold,snow, wind and rain. Pats advantage.

              1. I hope your right !! I agree that they should win handily…..In retrospect, last year’s Jets and the year’s before Ravens were good teams. I can understand why the Pats lost those playoff games. But not Denver, they are #4 seed only cause someone had to win that division, but I dont think their much more than the 10th best team in the conference.

                1. They have a couple of things going for them. first they are better than denver. second I just do not see them loosing another first playoff game, I really don’t. Now If I were the coach of this team I would have put all of the practice time this week towards defense. The defense has shown it can play to a certain extent.

  51. I also believe the pats were a better team last playoff game with jets, but the pats just did not show up, and I am sure they have been thinking of that game. I don’t see a repeat. So if they can win, and I do think they will lets hope Baltimore looses. But you know what It just does not matter. They just need to focus on this game, and they will.
    45-21 or lets say 52-14.

    1. Yeah, if Pats win Saturday night, I’ll be rooting for Houston Sunday. I was thinking I’d like to see Pats-Giants again and hope for a different outcome……

      I kind of agree with your score predictions. I just worry that if the defense gets off to the slow start like the last 2 regular season games, I get concerned about the crowd’s reaction and the players response. I think they have a tremendous amount of pressure on them given that they’ve lost 2 home playoff games in a row and that everyone expects them to win this game big. I think they are getting 13.5 pts.

      2. I was wondering on the spread, I was thinking 1o. I agree on the slow start. And yes everyone expects them to win. But I think those playoff losses come to there advantage this year. And I also like the fact that Josh is back. From my stantpoint on
        this game the pats have more going for them than Denver. I think there will be no lack of motivation here. I think the motivation is they need to show us again they can win a playoff game, and I think they deliver in a convincing way. Not to rush things, but I think the pats can make the big show this year. And as you said before it would be better than past one because of there defense this year. If they can go all of the way I would like to see GreenBay and pats.

        2. The good – if it can be considered that – is that they know their defense is not good and they have had bad starts. They won’t – hopefully – let their guard down as they have in past games they were expected to win……….I hope. We are having a young crowd here for the game and looking forward to it

  52. As I said Sunday I think we saw the last of the Tebow magic for this season. They would have to play a perfect game to beat the Pats. I could see them being competitive but I would be surprised if the Broncos won. I think were looking at a Ravens Pats AFC Championship. NFC side I can’t go against the Packers. Saints 49ers tough call because the Saints are a totally different team when they are outside the dome.

  53. This will be my 5 th game of the season, and I’m just hoping the crowd is not a corporate crowd with people just to watch the Offense, I’m up on every single 2nd and 3rd downs when Denver’s on offense, I also have a cardboard sign on my back that reads don’t ask me to sit down, alotta band wagoners that don’t understand football at some of these games and just watch the ball as suppose to the whole team. Have a great day everyone

    1. I became a fan when they got killed by the bears, been a avid or to some a crazy diehard fan, I don’t like to admit this but I will, when I lived in Dallas I would get into some heated arguments with some people there and 1 time was put in jail and served chicken pot pie for a night bc it went past the fine line, This was a long time ago now but don’t tell anybody šŸ™‚

    1. 15 not so bad….30….not so great. Denver has a better running game than us.

      Pats should win handily but a grinding out run type game does not play into their hands.

      They have yet to play in cold this year too. Denver might be better acclimated believe it or not.

      1. I’ll be in a gin mill watching as have a 50th in the city that night, that sucks. I would rather be home.

  57. My wife just looked over at me and said “what’s up with this weather, can you do something about like talk to TK”, I nearly laughed myself off the couch!!

  58. storm to warm i think its going to be all rain for 495 belt area. I was wishing for a 2 hour delay tomorrow morning but thats not happening now.

  59. 37 degrees with a 30 degree dewpoint in Marblehead, recipe for a cold rain…UGH!!! Darn I broke the ugh meter.
