.DISCUSSION...
KEY MESSAGE 1...Drier weather today and Wednesday. Warming trend
continues into Wednesday.
Last of the lingering snow and sleet showers moves offshore early
this morning. Not looking at much accumulation this morning, and
mainly on the grassy surfaces at that. Untreated roadways may have
some icy spots heading into the morning commute as temperatures fall
below freezing early this morning.
Expecting lots of sunshine today, enough anyway to boost
temperatures closer to normal today. Some higher clouds pass by this
evening and overnight, but mainly across northern MA as the main
feature traverses northern New England. Our region just winds up
with a moisture-starved trough, with not much more impact than a
period of some clouds.
Increasing southwest winds for Wednesday leads to above normal
temperatures. Increasing clouds as well during the afternoon,
but dry weather should still continue.
KEY MESSAGE 2...Mild day on Thursday before a strong cold front
brings much cooler conditions Friday into this weekend.
Spring-like warmth arrives Thursday as 850s soar into the mid
teens Celsius ahead of the next shortwave. The NBM has high
probabilites (60-80%) of high temperatures warming above 55
degrees. Slightly lower probs of greater than 60 degree temps
compared to previous runs with thickening mid and high level
cloud cover. Highest probs of these temperatures will be in the
Connecticut and Merrimack river valleys with localized
downsloping. Increasing PoPs Thursday night and Friday morning
as a shortwave approaches the region. PWATs increase to 1-1.2
inches Thursday night which is a good signal for widespread rain
and showers during the timeframe.
The shortwave will be accompanied by a robust low level SW jet.
But given the timing, a nocturnal inversion will preclude these
stronger winds aloft from mixing to the surface. The better
chance for gusty wind arrives Friday as lapse rates steepen
during the afternoon.
A front works its way through the region early Friday morning.
Much drier air behind it brings a quick end to any lingering
rain showers by the mid morning. It will be a fairly blustery
day with a well-mixed boundary layer developing by the
afternoon. Only limiting factor for higher gusts will be the
timing of the low level jet which looks to weaken as mixing
increases. Bigger story will be 850 mb temperatures falling from
+3C Friday afternoon to -13C Saturday. 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.

Forecaster Confidence Levels...
Low - less than 30 percent.
Moderate - 30 to 60 percent.

Through Wednesday...High confidence.
High pressure will build across the waters today, then pass
south of the waters Wednesday. Will still be dealing with light
rain or snow showers across the eastern MA coastal waters
through daybreak, and perhaps a little longer across the waters
east of Cape Cod and around Nantucket.
Winds diminish today, but rough seas will take time to subside
across the outer coastal waters. Tweaked the timing of the Small
Craft Advisories across the waters into Wednesday.
Outlook /Wednesday Night through Sunday/...
Wednesday Night: Winds less than 25 kt. Areas of seas
approaching 5 ft. Slight chance of rain.
Thursday: Moderate risk for Small Craft Advisory winds with
