AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BOSTON/NORTON MA

.SYNOPSIS...
A RAPIDLY INTENSIFYING STORM SYSTEM OFF CAPE COD WILL PRODUCE 
GUSTY WINDS, HEAVY RAIN, AND A PERIOD OF ACCUMULATING HEAVY, 
WET SNOW. THE WIND AND PRECIPITATION WILL TAPER OFF TONIGHT.  
THE STORM EXITS THROUGH THE MARITIMES OVERNIGHT. DRY AND COLDER
WEATHER MOVES IN FOR SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY WITH A MODERATING 
TREND FOR THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SUNDAY MORNING/...
COASTAL LOW PRESSURE NEAR OUTER CAPE COD WILL MOVE OFF THROUGH
THE MARITIMES OVERNIGHT. RAIN AND SNOW THIS EVENING WILL TAPER 
OFF FROM WEST TO EAST TONIGHT, ENDING LATEST ALONG THE 
MASSACHUSETTS NORTH SHORE DURING THE OVERNIGHT.

THE RAIN/SNOW LINE MID AFTERNOON EXTENDED FROM BOSTON AND THE 
NORTH SHORE THROUGH THE WESTERN SUBURBS OF BOSTON, THE NW CORNER
OF RHODE ISLAND, AND NORTHEAST CT. AS THE COASTAL LOW LIFTS PAST
NANTUCKET AND OUTER CAPE COD, EXPECT THE COLDER AIR INLAND TO
MOVE FARTHER EAST AND CHANGE THE RAIN IN RI AND SE MASS TO SNOW.
THAT SHOULD BE ROUGHLY 4 PM TO 7 PM. HEAVIEST AMOUNTS WILL 
REMAIN FROM THE CENTRAL HILLS THROUGH THE MERRIMACK VALLEY.
NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN FORECAT AMOUNTS FROM PREVIOUS

AS THE COASTAL LOW PULLS AWAY FROM THE COAST OVERNIGHT, THE
PRECIPITATION WILL TAPER OFF FROM WEST TO EAST, AND CLEARING
SKIES WILL MOVE IN FROM THE WEST. TEMPS WILL COOL TO THE 20S 
INLAND AND 30-35 ALONG THE COAST.

but we should cool to at least freezing, maybe 31 or 30 right?

Many areas will be around freezing this evening and late tonight. The real key to the forecast for final accumulations rest on those bands hanging over you. Once it lets up, it becomes very showery in nature. So a very precipitation rate intensity driven storm. The storm track is fine, the airmass is debatable.
