- Warm, dry, and windy Sunday then trending unsettled again with

.DISCUSSION...
KEY MESSAGE 1...Cool and dry for the first half of the weekend
North/northwest flow behind an exiting cold front continues to usher
cooler air into southern New England this afternoon. The high
temperature at WFO Norton today is 48 degrees and that was observed
at 7AM this morning! The air mass advecting in from the north will
support cold/dry conditions through tomorrow night. Low temps
tonight bottom out in the low to mid 20s for most of the region.
This will be followed by a sunny albeit chilly March afternoon with
highs peaking in the mid to upper 30s. Winds begin to shift
southwest tomorrow night into Sunday which should support milder
temperatures for Sunday afternoon.
KEY MESSAGE 2... Warm, dry, and windy Sunday then trending unsettled
again with periods of showers Tuesday through late-week.
Temperatures moderate Sunday as the mid-level trough exits to the
east. This will bring high temperatures back to seasonable values in
the mid to upper 40s. Conditions will be on the windier side with a
SW LLJ jet nudging in from the south later Sunday. Model sounding
profiles indicate a well-mixed boundary layer with a wider dewpoint
depressions, supporting gusty winds (20-30 mph) and also fairly dry
conditions. Something to keep an eye on for marginal fire weather
conditions in areas across interior southern New England.
The pattern trends unsettled early next week with ensemble guidance
showing a series of mainly weak shortwave troughs moving through the
flow, tracking across southern New England. There are still timing
differences in the timing of the individual waves across
deterministic/ensemble guidance. A plume of anomalous moisture
begins to advect in by early Tuesday, followed by the first round of
scattered showers around that timeframe. Expect periodic chances for
showers through the remainder of the week. Temperatures will be
mainly above normal for the first half of the week, even with a
chance at hitting 70 Wednesday. A cold front moves through later in
the week, trending temperatures back to seasonable/slightly cooler
temperatures. &&
