.WHAT HAS CHANGED...
No major changes to the forecast. The coastal storm threat
Sunday night into Monday continues to diminish with the track
likely too far south of southern New England.

- Tranquil/seasonable high temps Fri/Sat with dry weather
outside a few brief spot flurries/snow showers possible late
Fri night/Sat am.
* The coastal storm threat Sunday night into Monday continues to
diminish with the track likely too far south of southern New
England.
* Above normal temperatures for the first half next week.

.DISCUSSION...
KEY MESSAGE 1...Tranquil/seasonable high temps Fri/Sat with dry
weather outside a few brief spot flurries/snow showers possible late
Fri night/Sat am.
A ridge of high pressure to our west coupled with the mid-level
trough axis to our east will result in mainly dry/tranquil weather
through Sat. A moisture starved shortwave may bring a few brief spot
flurries/snow showers to the region late Fri night-Sat morning...but
nothing more than that expected. Otherwise...seasonable highs mainly
in the 30s Fri and probably upper 30s/near 40 by Sat. Good
radiational cooling coupled with a deep snowpack will allow for lows
tonight in the single digits and lower teens in many locations to
the upper teens to around 20 in the urban heat islands of Boston and
Providence. Low temps Fri night will be milder with more clouds
mainly in the teens to between 20 and 25 in the urban centers of
Boston and Providence.
Key Message 2...The coastal storm threat Sunday night into Monday
continues to diminish with the track likely too far south of
southern New England.
Guidance is still indicating a strong mid-level shortwave crossing
the Texas panhandle this weekend and continuing to track east. The
northern stream shortwave with decent mid-level troughing moving
across the Great Lakes and into the northeast may be what helps keep
this potential storm away from southern New England. Most ensemble
members across the guidance suites have continued to trend this
system to the south of southern New England, passing Sunday night
into Monday. However, a few members within all the ensembles do
still have this system taking a closer track, exiting offshore of
Virginia moreso than the Carolinas and south. Deterministic guidance
does also have this system remaining well to our south and offshore,
and with a weaker temperature gradient, precipitation may not expand
very far north from the center of the low. With a few ensemble
members in each of the suites still indicating a slightly more north
track that would end up impacting the region, confidence is still
somewhat low regarding this system's track. Though with the overall
continuation of the more southern track, we trended PoPs down once
more for Sunday night into Monday.
Key Message 3...Above normal temps for the first half of next week.
Temperatures continue to improve next week, becoming above normal.
Temperatures aloft start to approach 0C and exceed 0C early in the
week into Wednesday and more W to SW flow kicks in over the region
within that timeframe. Ensembles, namely the GEFS and GEPS, were
even getting probs of 50F highs up to 20 percent for SE MA Tuesday
and Wednesday. If we get good SW flow, then we could see this
actualized. Generally, though, highs in the 40s can be expected for
next week. Tuesday night and Wednesday night could even see some
spots remain above freezing.
Ensembles are signaling the chance for another system approaching
southern New England sometime in the latter half of the week, which
will be something to monitor in upcoming forecasts. As this event is
roughly a week out, details are uncertain at this time.
