.KEY MESSAGES...
- Unseasonable warmth and dry weather continues Wednesday
- Wet and unsettled weather returns Thursday through the
weekend with continued warmer temperatures to start before
cooler temps arrive Sunday and beyond.
&&
.DISCUSSION...
KEY MESSAGE 1...Unseasonable warmth and dry weather continue
Wednesday
Mid-level ridging and surface high pressure continue to dominate the
pattern through early Thursday. A thermal ridge with 925mb
temperatures +14 to +17C positions across southern New England.
Mainly sunny skies, fairly dry soils, and SW flow will typically
support better mixing than most guidance anticipates. This will
likely favor temperatures warmer than what model guidance projects.
High temperatures Wednesday are likely to be in the upper 60s to low
70s range, with mid 70s possible in the valleys. Can't rule out
temperatures overperforming reaching the upper 70s. NBM
probabilities show low to moderate probabilities (20-50%) for
greater than 75 degrees in portions of the CT Valley and Boston
Metro. If this does happen, records have potential to be met or
broken. Record at BOS is 78, PVD 77, ORH 74, BDL 78.
A warm day will be followed by a warm night. Overnight temperatures
fall into the 50s which is about average for our high temperatures
this time of year. Some locations may have a shot at
meeting/breaking the high min record.
KEY MESSAGE 2...Wet and unsettled weather returns Thursday
through the weekend with continued warmer temperatures to start
before cooler temps arrive Sunday and beyond.
Ensemble guidance continues to herald the end of our highly
anomalous stretch of dry weather by Thursday, kicking off a period
of 36-48 hours of periodic rainfall, sometimes heavy. This comes
courtesy of a few things; first is an approaching front extending
from a trough of low pressure crossing the Great Lakes. After moving
through NY the front stalls draped across New England from SW to NE
late Thursday. This brings the initial round of rain chances for
Thursday, mainly for western areas of SNE while much of the region
southeast of a BDL-ORH line may stay dry. A better shot of
widespread and heavier rainfall then arrives for Friday into early
Saturday as a secondary wave of low pressure forms along the front.
It deepens as it lifts north in the vicinity of Cape Cod Saturday
and then even moreso over the Gulf of Maine on Sunday by which time
we'll be on the drier side.
There will be a lot of moisture for this system to work with as
persistent moist SW flow ahead of the upper trough pulls in PWATs
over 1.5" and dewpoints into the low 60s! This will lead to very
warm low temps Friday morning (in the low 60s) but more importantly,
fuel for the good dynamics to work with. Those elevated dewpoints
will make for some instability allowing for some convection to
contribute to localized downpours, while convergence around the low
and placement beneath the RRQ of a 105kt upper jet will provide more
lift in the meso/synoptic scale. Exact placement of the swath of
heaviest rainfall will unfortunately not be nailed down until we get
closer to the event as it will be determined by where exactly the
front stalls. Generally ensemble guidance is calling for a 1-3"
rainfall with EPS and GEFS calling for a 50-60% and 30-40% chance of
AOA 1" of rainfall respectively, centered over central and eastern
SNE. Fortunately, we've been very dry and Flash Flood Guidance is
high. Thus, not expecting flash flooding to be an issue though some
poor drainage/urban flooding is possible especially given the leaves
blocking drainage this time of year.
Beyond Saturday we'll see some scattered showers continuing as the
upper trough is slow to exit overhead; nothing like Friday/Saturday,
though, as the atmospheric column begins to dry out going into next
week. Behind the trough colder NW flow ushers in a colder (closer to
normal) airmass for early next week as high temperatures return to
the 50s.

.AVIATION /00Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Forecaster Confidence Levels...
Low - less than 30 percent.
Moderate - 30 to 60 percent.
High - greater than 60 percent.
00z TAF Update:
Tonight...High confidence.
VFR. Mid level ceilings possible later tonight. Low chance for
development of a low stratus deck across the south coast and
Cape/Islands 06-12Z. Not high enough confidence to include in
TAFs at this time. Winds generally SW/SSW winds tonight at or
below 10 kt.
Wednesday...High confidence.
VFR. SCT higher decks possible during the day. Areas of lower
FEW/SCT cloud decks can't be ruled out along the south
coast/Cape terminals. Winds SSW/SW at 5-15 kts. Few gusts to
18-20 kts for ORH and coastal terminals in afternoon.
Wednesday Night...Moderate confidence.
Initially VFR, likely falling to MVFR and IFR after 06z due to
lower ceilings. Areas along could see reduced visbys to MVFR/IFR
levels earlier in the overnight period, but these could exit
after 06z. S to SSW winds overnight at 5-10 kt, with some areas
in the higher elevations seeing occasional 18 kt gusts after
06z.
KBOS Terminal...High confidence in TAF.
KBDL Terminal...High confidence in TAF.
Outlook /Thursday through Sunday/...
Thursday: Mainly VFR, with local IFR possible. Breezy. Chance
RA.
Thursday Night: Mainly VFR, with local IFR possible. Chance RA.
Friday: Mainly MVFR, with local IFR possible. RA, slight chance
TSRA.
Friday Night: MVFR/IFR conditions possible. RA, slight chance
TSRA.
Saturday through Saturday Night: VFR. Chance RA.
Sunday: VFR. Slight chance RA.

.MARINE...
Forecaster Confidence Levels...
Low - less than 30 percent.
Moderate - 30 to 60 percent.
High - greater than 60 percent.
Through Wednesday Night...High confidence.
Surface high pressure stays positioned across southern New
England through Thursday. This will favor seas 1-3 ft and winds
less than 25 kts out of the SW. Winds become breezy by Wednesday
afternoon with 20 kt gusts. A few gusts up to 20-25 kts are
possible with the greatest chance for the SE coastal waters near
the Cape/Islands. Gusts likely aren't consistent enough 25kt+
over a period to warrant SCAs at this time.
Outlook /Thursday through Sunday/...
Thursday: Winds less than 25 kt.
Thursday Night: Winds less than 25 kt. Seas locally approaching
5 ft. Chance of rain.
Friday: Winds less than 25 kt. Areas of seas approaching 5 ft.
Rain, slight chance of thunderstorms.
Friday Night: Winds less than 25 kt. Seas up to 5 ft. Rain,
slight chance of thunderstorms. Local visibility 1 to 3 nm.
Saturday: Winds less than 25 kt. Seas up to 5 ft. Rain, slight
chance of thunderstorms.
Saturday Night: Winds less than 25 kt. Seas up to 5 ft. Chance
of rain.
Sunday: Winds less than 25 kt. Seas up to 5 ft. Slight chance
of rain.

.CLIMATE...
Persistent unseasonable warmth over the next several day will
challenge calendar-day record highs and record high minimums
across southern New England climate sites.
