.DISCUSSION...
KEY MESSAGE 1...While the risk for severe weather remains low,
scattered diurnal showers and thunderstorms are possible
today. Otherwise, not as gusty.
Not much change to the overall synoptic pattern today. We will
still have a mid level trough over eastern Canada as well as
another sheared shortwave this afternoon and evening. Projected
CAPE values still between 500-1,000 J/kg. Almost no vertical
shear to speak of, so not overly concerned about the prospects
for severe weather. This should be enough for another round of
scattered afternoon showers and thunderstorms. The greatest risk
is towards northeast MA.
Tricky forecast with respect to coastal winds. Westerly winds do
look to be just strong enough to prevent the seabreeze from
moving too far inland. A seabreeze front could provide a greater
focus for showers and thunderstorms. At this time, expecting
only local seabreezes rather than the typical front which pushes
inland to the I-95 corridor. This will need to be monitored
through today.
KEY MESSAGE 2...Periods of heavy rain possible Monday into early
Tuesday. Drier air with seasonable temperatures expected
midweek. Chances for rain return for the end of next week.
A low pressure system is expected to bring a widespread, soaking
rainfall to southern New England from Monday afternoon into
Tuesday. The probability for 1+ inch of storm total rainfall was
still between 70 to 80 percent across most of our region. The
probability for 2+ inches of rainfall remained about 30 to 50
percent, greatest across western MA and CT. Groundwater and
streamflow observations were less than the 10th percentile.
This indicates we have plenty of room to accommodate this
rainfall. Perhaps a different story in the urban areas. While
there could be thunderstorms, we do not anticipate these to be
strong enough to result in flooding. This will still need to be
monitored. We should dry out from west to east as a low pressure
along the south coast of New England moves offshore.
High pressure builds into the region behind this system,
providing drier with and seasonable temperatures for the middle
of the week. Chances for rain begin to increase once again by
the end of the work week.
