.DISCUSSION...
KEY MESSAGE 1...Warming trend during next 2 days with unseasonably
mild conditions Thu. Scattered showers Wednesday night into early
Thursday, otherwise mainly dry weather.
Weak subsidence behind a departing northern stream shortwave
tonight will bring dry conditions through Wed. Varying amounts
of cloud cover tonight, then sunshine will give way to
increasing mid-high clouds Wed in developing weak warm advection
pattern. SW flow will bring milder air into the region Wed with
highs getting into the 50s away from the south coast.
A weak shortwave passage Wed night with deepening moisture
plume moving through may lead to a few showers Wed night into
early Thu, otherwise drying out Thu with clouds giving way to
partial sunshine. But clouds will move back in toward the end
of the day with a low risk of showers moving into W MA ahead of
approaching frontal system. However, most if not all the
rainfall should hold off until Thu night. Becoming unseasonably
mild Thu as increasing SW flow develops with warming low level
temps. 925 mb temps increasing to 10C should support highs
reaching the low-mid 60s, except 50s south of PVD-TAN-PYM, Cape
Ann and higher terrain. Decent pressure gradient in place so
expect breezy SW winds with soundings supporting gusts to 20-30
mph a times.
KEY MESSAGE 2...A strong cold front brings rainy and cooler conditions
Friday into the weekend.
A strong cold front approaches southern New England Thursday night
into early Friday morning, bringing another widespread, soaking
rain. Ensemble guidance is currently indicating a surge of moist
air ahead of the front, enhancing PWATs to 1.10"-1.25"... roughly
200-250 percent of normal for this time of year. Currently thinking
this rain would last through the night and into a good portion of
Friday morning, but it's still a little early to nail down exact
timing... regardless, southern New England could potentially see up
to 0.5" of rain.
Post-FROPA on Friday, a drier airmass will push into the region.
Winds pick up as the boundary layer becomes well mixed throughout
the day, with 20-30mph winds possible. As this drier airmass moves
through, it will also bring dropping 850mb temps with ensembles
indicating temps dropping down to -16C... roughly a -17C temperature
anomaly. High temps likely occur early Friday morning before falling
throughout the day with strong cold air advection. Highs struggle
into the upper 30s to lower 40s on Saturday and Sunday before
rebounding into the low 50s for the start of the next work week.
