.WHAT HAS CHANGED...
The probability for a brief round of rain/snow showers has
been increased after 8-9 pm until 2-3 am. Guidance trending a
possible storm for the start of next week away from the region,
but unsettled weather still cannot be entirely ruled out as
significant spread across the guidance remains.
&&
.KEY MESSAGES...
- Brief round of scattered rain/snow showers after 8-9 pm until
about 2-3 am with even a few snow squalls possible across the
interior. The next system passes well to our south late
Thu/Thu night with no impacts.
- Cold front passing through Sunday that may bring some snow showers.
Colder temperatures with a potential Arctic outbreak for the
start of the week.
- Unsettled weather still a possibility for the start of next
week, but confidence remains low.

.DISCUSSION...
Key Message 1...Brief round of scattered rain/snow showers
after 8-9 pm until about 2-3 am with even a few snow squalls
possible across the interior. The next system passes well to our
south late Thu/Thu night with no impacts.
A shortwave/cold front will cross the region tonight. Vigorous
shortwave energy coupled with some moisture/instability in the 0-2
KM layer will result in scattered snow showers and perhaps a few
brief snow squalls too across the interior. This activity will enter
western MA after 8-9 pm and it is not out of the question a few
spots receive a quick one half to 1" of new snow with the greatest
risk in the high terrain. Some of this activity may survive onto the
I-95 corridor in the 11 pm to 2 am time window. Warmer boundary
layer may result in Ptype mixed with or even in the form of rain
showers. Regardless...not really expecting any additional roadway
impacts near the coast given above freezing temps when the activity
moves across the region.
Otherwise...these scattered rain/snow showers departs after 2-3 am
with lows in the 20s to near 30 by daybreak. Plenty of sunshine Thu
with highs in the upper 30s to the lower 40s. Low pressure will pass
well to our south late Thu/Thu night with mainly just some mid level
clouds and we are favoring it remaining dry. The GFS remains a
northern outlier...but a worst case scenario would be a coating to
1" on the immediate south coast/Cape and Islands and that is just a
low probability at this point.
Key Message 2...Cold front passing through Sunday that may
bring some snow showers. Colder temperatures with a potential
Arctic outbreak for the start of the week.
Guidance is indicating a possible Arctic outbreak over southern New
England to start the week after a more seasonable first half of the
weekend. A cold front pushes through Sunday, and the chance for some
light snow showers moves in with it. Some low to mid-level moisture
along with CAA and the lift from the front will be helpful for these
showers developing. Behind the front, strong CAA continues as Arctic
air settles over the region. 925 mb temperatures fall from around 0C
to -15C and even down to -20C by Monday morning. Highs Monday will
likely not climb higher than the 20s and lows Sunday and Monday
night will likely fall back into the low teens and single digits.
Key Message 3...Unsettled weather still a possibility for the
start of next week, but confidence remains low.
Considerable spread regarding the chance for another storm system
Monday into Tuesday still exists across the different ensembles and
deterministic models. With regards to precip, confidence is very low
as the track for this system is still very uncertain. Some ensemble
suites have the high pressure moving in over Quebec shifting more
south over New York state into northern New England by Monday
morning. If this occurred, precipitation would be suppressed. Latest
guidance has not much of a signal for a wave impacting the region
for Monday as a result. GEFS still has a signal for a system Monday,
but even it has trended south. Will be something to continue
monitoring, especially this far out. Unsettled weather may still
make a return past Monday, but again, there is significant spread
across all guidance suites at this time, so confidence is quite low
in this part of the forecast.

.AVIATION /19Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
Forecaster Confidence Levels...
Low - less than 30 percent.
Moderate - 30 to 60 percent.
High - greater than 60 percent.
18z TAF Update...
This afternoon through Thursday night...High confidence in
trends with moderate confidence in timing.
MVFR ceilings may linger into the late afternoon hours...But
most locations improve to VFR conditions this evening outside
of any brief precipitation in the 02z to 08z window with a cold
frontal passage. A line of snow showers with a few heavier snow
squalls possible will drop into northwest MA after 01z-02z. This
activity may reach the I-95 corridor in the 04z to 07z window
perhaps mixed with or in the form of rain showers. This activity may
result in briefly lower cigs/vsbys. Otherwise...VFR conditions
behind this activity right through Thu night. Southwest wind gusts
of 15 to 25 knots diminish early this evening but expect a period of
LLWS ahead of an approaching cold front. Otherwise...west winds 7 to
13 knots on Thu. Winds then become light NW Thu night and should
decouple in the typical spots.
KBOS Terminal...High confidence in trends but moderate
confidence in timing.
KBDL Terminal...High confidence in trends but moderate
confidence in timing.
Outlook /Friday through Monday/...
Friday through Friday Night: VFR.
Saturday: VFR. Breezy.
Saturday Night: VFR.
Sunday: Mainly VFR, with local MVFR possible. Breezy. Chance
SN.
Sunday Night: VFR. Breezy.
Monday: VFR. Slight chance SN.

.MARINE...
Forecaster Confidence Levels...
Low - less than 30 percent.
Moderate - 30 to 60 percent.
High - greater than 60 percent.
Tonight through Thursday night...High confidence.
SW wind gusts of 20-30 knots across the waters diminish early this
evening. Otherwise...we may have a surge of westerly wind gusts of
25 knots across our northern waters overnight into Thu morning.
Nonetheless...lingering swell across our southern waters will
only slowly diminish so small craft headlines will need to
continue well into Thu.
Outlook /Friday through Monday/...
Friday: Winds less than 25 kt. Areas of seas approaching 5 ft.
Friday Night: Winds less than 25 kt. Seas locally approaching
5 ft.
Saturday through Saturday Night: Winds less than 25 kt.
Sunday: Winds less than 25 kt. Slight chance of snow.
Sunday Night: Low risk for Small Craft Advisory winds with
gusts up to 25 kt. Areas of seas approaching 5 ft. Chance of
freezing spray.
Monday: Winds less than 25 kt. Areas of seas approaching 5 ft.
Chance of freezing spray, slight chance of snow.
