.WHAT HAS CHANGED...
The risk for wintry precipitation is lower for Thursday but several
days of cool, overcast and raw weather look to be in store for late
week into the first weekend in April.
&&
.KEY MESSAGES...
- Breezy and unseasonably mild Monday away from the south coast.
- Period of above normal temperatures Tuesday and Wednesday,
with a chance for low to mid 70s highs on Wednesday.
Nighttime lows Tuesday night could be significantly above
normal. Cold front moves in Wednesday afternoon and night
bringing showers and a low chance for a rumble or two of
thunder.
- Overcast, cool and raw weather Thursday through Saturday on
northeast winds. Intermittent rain showers possible but better
chance for rain on Friday as frontal boundary shifts
southward.
&&
.DISCUSSION...
KEY MESSAGE 1...Breezy and unseasonably mild Monday away from the
south coast.
High pres moves offshore tonight and Monday with SW flow continuing.
This will result in a milder night tonight and an unseasonably mild
day Mon in the interior valleys. 925 mb temps increase to 8-10C so
temps should reach the mid-upper 60s across CT valley and interior
NE MA with mid 50s along the south coast. Dry weather expected
through Mon although there will be enough mid-high clouds around to
limit sunshine at times but overall a partly sunny day expected. It
will also be rather breezy, especially near the coast as a 40-60 kt
low level jet develops. The jet is above a low level inversion which
will prevent these stronger winds from mixing down but soundings
show a shallow mixed layer supportive of 25-35 mph gusts.
A backdoor front will push south from northern New Eng and may get
into NE MA by Tue morning. Continued SW flow and advection of higher
dewpoint air into SNE will result in areas of stratus developing and
can't rule out patchy drizzle overnight along with a few showers as
higher PWATs move in. Cloud cover and SW flow will keep low
temps in the 40s to near 50 in the CT valley.
KEY MESSAGE 2...Period of above normal temperatures Tuesday and
Wednesday, with a chance for low to mid 70s highs on Wednesday.
Nighttime lows Tuesday night could be significantly above normal.
Cold front moves in Wednesday afternoon and night bringing showers
and a low chance for a rumble or two of thunder.
Challenging temperature forecast for Tuesday as a backdoor cold
front tries to slip southward out of NH/ME into northern MA, while
increasingly milder southerly flow builds into CT and western MA.
Considerable cloudiness in all areas though, but nebulous forcing
(better to our north and west), a modest increase in PWATs with
drier air aloft probably favors very light rain or drizzle. Daytime
max temps could struggle to get into the low 50s Tuesday in
NE/eastern MA, but the further south and west one goes, better
chance at highs in the 60s.
The warmer air aloft advecting in eventually wins out though, as
southerly winds and continued overcast allow for a mild and
increasingly moist Tue night. Highs for the day in NE MA could occur
closer to midnight, but elsewhere, temps may not fall very far
and/or rise some with values in the mid 50s. Potential exists for
one of the milder nights we've seen in a while, and there's a chance
sites like Hartford, Springfield and surrounding towns stay above 60
degrees for lows.
Coming out of a likely very mild and breezy Tuesday night, Wednesday
still looks to be a quite mild day away from the south coast as 850
mb temps warm to +10 to +12C and 925 temps sit around 14 to +17C.
Potential exists for highs in the mid 70s in some of the usually
warmer spots (CT Merrimack Valleys) with upper 60s/low 70s elsewhere
away from the south coast where highs will be kept cooler in the
50s/lower 60s given SW winds off the water. How warm we ultimately
get will depend on the still-unclear timing of a cold front that
will be shifting southeastward. Front also brings a better chance
for at least showers, but with a low chance for a rumble or two of
thunder based on narrow CAPE profiles with surface-based CAPEs
around 500 J/kg. Front should have made it into the southern waters
by overnight, with temps on the downswing into the upper 30s to mid
40s as the front moves south.
KEY MESSAGE 3...Overcast, cool and raw weather Thursday through
Saturday on northeast winds. Intermittent rain showers possible but
better chance for rain on Friday as frontal boundary shifts
southward.
The late-week/early weekend period is the cooler, overcast and raw
portion of the forecast. Increasing NE winds as shallow near-surface
colder air filters southward, but temps aloft remain quite warm
under SWly 850-500 mb flow with 925 mb temps around +2 to +8C.
Although the threat for wintry precipitation looks minimal now, this
pattern will maintain low clouds with intermittent showers and
likely lead to a pretty raw day on Thurs. NBM temps in the mid 40s
to low 50s are almost certainly too optimistic following its typical
diurnal temperature curve, and that's very probably not appropriate
given overcast and persistent NE winds. Plenty of room to go lower
on temps in future updates but potential exists for widespread upper
30s to mid 40s with NE winds Thurs around 10-15 mph. Temps probably
not going very far either Thurs night or Fri with highs in the mid
40s, with a better shot at widespread rain Fri as a cool front moves
in from NY.
We again repeat the same weather pattern Sat as the same one from
Thurs, with shallow cool air on NE winds and persistent low
clouds under a continued mild profile of air aloft.

the Cape/Islands with a strengthening low level jet.
Monday Night...Moderate Confidence.
Areas of MVFR-IFR stratus developing, first over the Cape/Islands
during the evening then expanding inland overnight. Timing of lower
cigs and areas extent is uncertain. A few showers or
patchy drizzle developing overnight.

Low - less than 30 percent.
Moderate - 30 to 60 percent.
High - greater than 60 percent.
Persistent gusty SW winds will continue into Monday. Winds may
briefly drop off a bit tonight, but increase again Mon with
gusts up to 30 kt. The gusty winds will linger into Mon evening
over the south coastal waters before diminishing as the LLJ
moves offshore. We extended the SCA into Mon night as hazardous
seas linger after the winds drop below SCA.
Outlook /Tuesday through Friday/...
Tuesday: Low risk for Small Craft Advisory winds with gusts up
to 25 kt. Areas of rough seas. Slight chance of rain. Local
visibility 1 to 3 nm.
Tuesday Night: Strong winds with gusts up to 35 kt. Rough seas
up to 13 ft.
Wednesday: Strong winds with gusts up to 35 kt. Rough seas up
to 12 ft. Chance of rain, isolated thunderstorms.

Chance of rain, isolated thunderstorms.
Thursday: Low risk for Small Craft Advisory winds with gusts up
