.WHAT HAS CHANGED...
No significant changes to the forecast since the last update.

.KEY MESSAGES...
- Unseasonable warmth and dry weather continues today
- Wet and unsettled weather returns Thursday into this weekend.
Continued above normal temperatures before cooler conditions
arrive Sunday and beyond.
&&
.DISCUSSION...
KEY MESSAGE 1...Unseasonable warmth and dry weather continues
today
Not much change to the overall synoptic pattern, High pressure
over the North Atlantic will maintain steady south to southwest
winds. Will continue to favor the warmest temperature guidance
today since temperatures did not lower much overnight. Both the
REFS and NBM had rather high probabilities for max temperatures
to be 15-20 degrees above normal today, especially across
eastern MA as well as the CT River valley. Some record high
temperatures could be met or broken. Record at BOS is 78, PVD
77, ORH 74, BDL 78.
A warm day will be followed by another 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 into
this weekend. Continued above normal temperatures before
cooler conditions 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 state, this front stalls across
New England from SW to NE late Thursday. This brings an 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
remain dry. A more widespread and heavier rainfall should then
arrive for Friday into early Saturday as a secondary low
pressure forms along this 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 lower 60s! This will lead to
very warm conditions Friday morning (in the lower 60s) but more
importantly, fuel for the good dynamics to work with. These
elevated dewpoints will generate 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.
The exact placement of the swath of heaviest rainfall will
unfortunately not be nailed down until we get closer to this
event as it will be determined by where exactly this 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 1" or greater 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. There is a marginal risk within the Excessive Rainfall
Outlook for Friday into Saturday.
Beyond Saturday, we'll see some scattered showers continuing as
the upper trough is slow to exit overhead; nothing like
Friday/Saturday though. NW flow ushers in a colder, albeit
closer to normal, airmass for early next week with high
temperatures returning to the 50s.

.AVIATION /07Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Forecaster Confidence Levels...
Low - less than 30 percent.
Moderate - 30 to 60 percent.
High - greater than 60 percent.
Today...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 this afternoon.
Tonight...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.
Thursday...Moderate confidence.
Areas of MVFR and IFR to start. Slow improvement to VFR from SE
to NW. IFR could linger across the higher terrain of central and
western MA into evening.
KBOS Terminal...High confidence in TAF.
KBDL Terminal...High confidence in TAF.
Outlook /Thursday Night through Sunday/...
Thursday Night: Mainly VFR, with local IFR possible. Breezy.
Chance RA.
Friday: MVFR/IFR conditions possible. RA, slight chance TSRA.
Friday Night: Mainly MVFR, with local IFR possible. RA, slight
chance TSRA.
Saturday: Mainly VFR, with local MVFR possible. Chance RA.
Saturday Night: Mainly VFR, with local MVFR possible. Breezy.

.MARINE...
Forecaster Confidence Levels...
Low - less than 30 percent.
Moderate - 30 to 60 percent.
High - greater than 60 percent.
Through Thursday...High confidence.
Surface high pressure stays positioned SE of the waters into
Thursday. Winds become breezy by this 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
Small Craft Advisories at this time.
Outlook /Thursday Night through Sunday/...
Thursday Night: Winds less than 25 kt. Areas of seas
approaching 5 ft. Chance of rain.
Friday: Winds less than 25 kt. Seas up to 5 ft. Rain, slight
chance of thunderstorms.
Friday Night: Winds less than 25 kt. Local rough seas. Rain,
slight chance of thunderstorms. Local visibility 1 to 3 nm.
Saturday: Winds less than 25 kt. Seas up to 5 ft. Chance of
rain, slight chance of thunderstorms.
Saturday Night through 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.
