Public Information Statement
Statement as of 5:26 PM EDT on March 16, 2010
The following are a mix of official ASOS observations and many
unofficial but highly representative observations for the major
noreaster of March 13-15 2010.
The axis of heaviest rain was found within 30 miles of eastern
Massachusetts coast where record daily rains occurred at 100 year
long term climate sites on successive days /14th-15th/ at Boston...
and only on the 14th at Worcester and Providence.
Amounts of six to 10 inches occurred within 30 miles of the eastern
Massachusetts coast... centered from Boston to its North Shore.
This probably is one of the heaviest late winter/early Spring storms
in our area... which also produced floods of record and near
record... without the contribution of snowmelt!
A smaller 5 inch rainfall axis was aligned near the Connecticut
Rhode Island border.
This storm followed two weeks on the heels of the late February two
storm combination event that deposited 2 to 6 inches of water
equivalent precipitation in the Interstate 95 corridor of Rhode
Island and Massachusetts.
Late winter temperatures prevent the same evaporation rates and soil
drying capability of the warmer Summer.
Subsequently... the arrival of possibly the heaviest widespread rain
event in eastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island since the Spring
rains of may and June 2006 /excluding the tropical related Summer
and fall events/... had less available soil and Reservoir storage
capacity... and the result... was greater runoff and widespread
flooding.
Appreciation is extended to Highway departments... cooperative
observers... Skywarn spotters and media for these reports. This
summary is also available on our home Page at weather.Gov/Boston

NWS Forecaster Discussion
417 fxus61 kbox 162023 afdbox Area forecast discussion National Weather Service Taunton Massachusetts 423 PM EDT Tuesday Mar 16 2010 Synopsis... high pressure building over the region will bring fair dry weather for the rest of the week and for the weekend. Another cold front will likely bring a period of rain showers later Sunday and Monday. && Near term /until 6 am Wednesday morning/... high pressure surface and aloft over the plains and rockies. Low pressure surface and aloft over the Maritimes. Northwest flow from Manitoba Canada into New England with much of the flow aimed toward Maine and Nova Scotia. Lingering 20-25 knot gustiness late afternoon in eastern mass...but with a diminishing pressure gradient we should see winds becoming light everywhere tonight. The northwest flow shows mostly clear skies with patchy cirrus in central Canada. NAM and GFS show a shortwave in the northwest flow approaching New England later tonight. Limited moisture...mostly limited to the cirrus level as it crosses our area late tonight. Min temperatures are a blend of MOS. && Short term /6 am Wednesday morning through Wednesday night/... continued dry northwest flow through the period. Wednesday...lingering high clouds in the morning as the upper shortwave moves past. Otherwise a fine day with light westerly winds. NAM and GFS bring mixing to about 4000 feet. This seems low considering full sun and a west flow...mixing should reach closer to 850 mb away from the South Coast where the marine layer will buffer some of the warming. Temperatures at 850 mb will be around 2c...which would support maximum temperatures around 63f...used the metnam guidance with minor adjustments. Wednesday night...continued dry with light winds. Some increase in clouds possible especially northern mass/southern New Hampshire as a weak front moves into northern New England.
