205 FXUS61 KBOX 240605 AFDBOX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Boston/Norton MA 205 AM EDT Thu Sep 24 2026 .WHAT HAS CHANGED... High Surf Advisory issued along the east coast of MA Friday through the weekend. && .KEY MESSAGES... - Dry, cool, and breezy today with rough seas. - A strong coastal low pressure system will bring a long duration of rain, rough seas, strong winds, and coastal flooding/erosion Friday through the weekend. Exact magnitude and placement of the winds and rain remain uncertain. && .DISCUSSION... KEY MESSAGE 1...Dry, cool, and breezy today with rough seas. The dry and cooler than average weather we`ve been enjoying for the last several days continues for at least one more day thanks to a sprawling high pressure centered over Quebec. Placement of southern New England between this surface high and building low pressure to the north will continue the persistent and increasingly steady northeast flow keeping temperatures in the low 60s (east) to mid/upper 60s (CT valley). Thanks to those persistent winds over a long fetch we`ll continue to see dangerous seas with waves a high as 12-15 ft over the southern outer waters. Rough seas will only increase in magnitude and area going into the weekend. Over land, we`ll continue to see breezy winds gusting to 25-35 mph. KEY MESSAGE 2...A strong coastal low pressure system will bring a long duration of rain, rough seas, strong winds, and coastal flooding/erosion Friday through the weekend. Exact magnitude and placement of the winds and rain remain uncertain. Bottom line up front: prolonged rain and wind is expected this weekend, with the worst of it along the coast. Coastal impacts will also be felt from coastal flooding and erosion, especially east facing coastlines. Guidance is ever so slowly coming into agreement on the storm`s track, leading to still only moderate confidence in exact numbers/times with regard to strongest winds, peak coastal flooding etc. For this reason, watches continue. However, confidence is high that this will be an impactful early season nor`easter for southern New England as a coastal low meandering off the eastern seaboard is captured by another feature and pulled back to the west after passing near the 70/40 benchmark. Latest GFS guidance seems to be caving toward a more western track in line with the ECMWF/UKMET. It`s yet to be seen if this is the start of a trend or an outlier, but the 00Z GEFS continues to have quite a wide E-W spread in low centers by Saturday morning. A western track would have an impact on coastal flooding, potentially expanding minor flooding to more southern facing coastlines toward the later half of the weekend; this is hinted at in the Stevens Institute coastal flooding guidance and will need to be monitored as we settle on an eventual low track. Regardless, we will no doubt be dealing with a good deal of coastal erosion and at least some minor coastal flooding on the east coast, especially south of Boston. This will be a prolonged coastal flooding event from late Fri-Sun which could exacerbate flooding concerns as water may not be able to fully evacuate between high tides. The latest ensemble probabilities continue to indicate the heaviest rainfall over eastern MA and RI where probabilities of 2+" have increased (80%+) as have probabilities of 4" (40-60%) centered over eastern MA. The slow moving nature of this pattern means that this is spread over 48+ hours which should limit flash flooding concerns. The strongest winds will be over the waters where Storm Watches remain in effect starting on Friday. On land the strongest winds will be along the coast where the presence of leaves on trees will exacerbate potential tree damage compared to a late season storm. Ensemble guidance indicates >70% chance of gusts over 40 mph, while the chance of gusts nearing 60 mph over Cape Cod and the islands has decreased in the last 24 hours for both the EPS and GEFS likely owing to the further west track. The low center lingers, weakening, Sunday and even into Monday before finally exiting east by Tuesday. && .AVIATION /06Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/... Forecaster Confidence Levels... Low - less than 30 percent. Moderate - 30 to 60 percent. High - greater than 60 percent. 06Z update... Through 12z...High confidence. VFR.

Gusts near 35 kt for Nantucket. Friday...High confidence. VFR most of the day, with MVFR cigs moving in from the southeast, impacting ACK as early as 16z and FMH/HYA by 00z. Lowered cigs come following RA moving in throughout the day from SE to NW. Strong NE winds, 15-25 kts with gusts 30-45 kts, strongest over southeast MA terminals.

Mountain & avalanche safety

Know before you go
Check today's avalanche bulletin from the regional avalanche center before any off-piste / side-country / backcountry travel. Conditions can shift dramatically between morning and afternoon on storm days.
Carry the gear, know how to use it
Beacon, shovel, probe. Practice companion rescue on a calm day, not during a real burial.
Mind the weather window
Heavy snow + wind builds wind slabs at ridgelines. The day after a storm is often the riskiest in the backcountry, even if the resort itself is open.
Respect closed terrain
Ropes are there for a reason. Even in-bounds, ducking a closure can trigger a slide that catches you and others below.

FAQ

About Nashoba Valley Ski Area

Where does the snow data for Nashoba Valley Ski Area come from?

Snowpack, SWE, 24-hour snowfall, and air temperature come from the nearest USDA NRCS SNOTEL station. Forecast comes from the National Weather Service / yr.no feed that Snoflo's iOS app uses.

How often is the snow report updated?

Snowpack and SNOTEL data are updated continuously by NRCS (typically hourly). The 15-day weather forecast is refreshed throughout the day. Snoflo caches and renders the most recent observation -- look for the "as of" timestamp on the snowpack hero.

What's the elevation at Nashoba Valley Ski Area?

See the Resort Metrics panel above for base / summit / vertical drop. The summit elevation drives snowpack accumulation -- higher summits hold snow longer through spring.

How is "% of normal" calculated?

Today's snowpack is compared to the average snowpack on this calendar day across every recorded year at the nearest SNOTEL. 100% means right on average; 130% is a big year; 60% is thin.

What ski resorts are near Nashoba Valley Ski Area?

See the Other Ski Areas pill grid at the bottom of the page for resorts within driving distance. The sister Other Ski Areas card in the Plan-a-longer-trip grid above shows the closest few.

Can I get alerts when fresh snow hits?

Yes -- snow alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this resort, set a snowfall threshold (e.g. "alert me when 6+ inches"), and you'll get a push the moment the SNOTEL crosses.
