No significant changes to the forecast.

.KEY MESSAGES...
- Dry, pleasant weather continues through the work week as
temperatures increase.
- High pressure likely to maintain dry weather through at least
Monday. A slight risk for some showers Tuesday into Wednesday,
but the details are not yet certain.

.DISCUSSION...
KEY MESSAGE 1...Dry, pleasant weather continues through the
work week as temperatures increase.
Large high pressure continues to be the primary driver of the
pleasant days and cool nights through Thursday. Expecting
another night of radiational cooling dropping temperatures;
however, party cloudy skies heading into the overnight hours
will likely hinder the cooling effect... expecting temperatures
to remain in the upper 30s to low 40s.
Southern New England will see warmer temperatures Thursday and
Friday as a surge of warm air advection ahead of a cold front
warms 925 mb temperatures to between +11 and +15C... highs
Thursday in the low to mid 60s, upper 60s for the Merrimack and
Connecticut River Valleys, and highs Friday near 70 for the
southern and eastern coastal plains (mid 60s for the interior
and Cape/Islands). As the cold front approaches Friday, winds
are likely to be gustier than we've seen the last several
days...likely 20 to 25 mph at times, possibly 30 to 35 mph in
the higher elevations.
Post-FROPA Friday night, skies clear and winds calm for another
night of radiational cooling. Temperatures will once again drop
into the low to mid 30s for most.
KEY MESSAGE 2...High pressure likely to maintain dry weather
through at least Monday. A slight risk for some showers Tuesday
into Wednesday, but the details are not yet certain.
The dominant high pressure should finally move off the coast
Sunday night into Monday. Even then, its influence is expected
to slowly diminish into the middle of next week.
There are rather large discrepancies in the evolution of a mid
level ridge across the central USA early next week. The
magnitude and orientation of this ridge will be the determining
factor for the track of a low pressure trying to move east from
the Rockies. at this time, thinking this low pressure will
struggle to move east quickly. That leaves the positioning of
its associated fronts to consider. With the low pressure quite
a ways away from southern New England, there will not be much
push to move them much as well.
Overall, the most likely outcome is that dry weather prevails.
However, a quasi-warm front may get close enough to our region
Tuesday into Wednesday to perhaps trigger a few showers. Not
seeing much moisture to work with, so any precipitation would be
light.
