.KEY MESSAGES...

- Scattered snow showers across portions of southern New England
  late today through midnight. 

- Milder Wed, then spring-like Thu, followed by showers accompanying 
  a cold front Thu night into early Fri.

- Behind the front, dry, but blustery and colder later Friday
  into Saturday

.DISCUSSION...
KEY MESSAGE 1...Scattered snow showers across portions of southern 
New England late today through midnight.

Fairly impressive shortwave aloft, that is also associated with
a pocket of cold air (500mb temperatures colder than -30C) will
rotate across the region this evening into early overnight.
Although it's coming through overnight, the cold air aloft will
be enough to generate enough instability for scattered snow
showers to develop, with activity waning after midnight. Just
like summer time convection, not everyone will see these snow
showers. Snow Squall Parameter is not overly impressive (values
just above 1), but suggests the better chances for any briefly
heavier snow showers will be across the western half of the 
area. Points further east may just see flurries. Accumulations
will be light (generally less than 1/2") and be confined to
those localized areas that see the brief heavier bursts. No
impacts to roads are anticipated. 

On a side note, ahead of the main trough, a ribbon of vorticity
aloft will result in a general area of light snow & rain that
will traverse the region through 6pm, but also not have any real
impacts. 


KEY MESSAGE 2...Milder Wed, then spring-like Thu, followed by 
showers accompanying a cold front Thu night into early Fri.

Active upper air pattern will bringing a series of shortwave troughs 
through the region. The first short wave will move across the region 
Wed night. This first wave will have limited moisture and jet 
dynamics. Therefore, shower activity should be more scattered in 
coverage. Hence, not everyone will have measurable rainfall. WAA 
ahead of the short wave will result in milder temps Wed, with highs 
around 50, cooler near the south coast, in response to gusty SW 
winds. Morning sunshine likely gives way to afternoon clouds, in 
response to WAA pattern.  

Then spring-like warmth Thursday ahead of the next short wave. Highs 
should rise to around 60 away from the south coast, given another 
day of SW winds. This second wave moves through Thursday night into 
early Friday and has more moisture and forcing for ascent. Therfore 
expecting showers Thu night into early Fri to be more widespread. 

As previous forecaster noted, each shortwave (Wed ngt & again Thu 
ngt) 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.  


KEY MESSAGE 3...behind the front, dry, but blustery and colder 
later Friday into Saturday.

FROPA occurs sometime early Friday, followed by drier but blustery 
and colder conditions. Some of the model guidance (GFS & UKMET) 
advects -12C air at 925 mb temps across SNE 12z Sat! Not very spring-
like, then again, March in New England. Lows in the teens and 20s, 
highs only 35-40 Saturday. 

&&

.AVIATION /18Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
Forecaster Confidence Levels...

Low - less than 30 percent. 
Moderate - 30 to 60 percent. 
High - greater than 60 percent.

18z TAF Update...

Moderate confidence through tonight, high confidence Tuesday. 

IFR pretty much across the entire area. Have a mix of -DZ, -RA,
or -SN depending on where you are. Through 22z or so, expect an
area of light precipitation to trek from west to east across the
region. This will produce -SN, mixing with -RA in lower
elevations. As that moves off the coast, scattered snow showers
are expected to develop and also traverse across the region
through about 05-06z or so. Confidence in specific location and
timing of those scattered snow showers is only at the level to
use PROB30 lines in most of the TAFs. 

Conditions should start to slowly improve to MVFR after 06z from
west to east, and then VFR pretty much everywhere (except the
Cape and Islands) by 12z. For the remainder of Tuesday, VFR
conditions will prevail. Surface winds will start out from the
NW and transition to SW and range from 8-12kts.  

KBOS Terminal...Moderate confidence. Should see light
precipitation in the form of a light RA/SN mix begin by 19z and
last a few hours. Snow showers will be scattered about after
that through 04-06z. Uncertainty if any impact BOS, however they
would be short lived and given temperatures remaining above
freezing, no accumulations are expected. Low probability of
precipitation and IFR continuing through 10z, but not enough to
include in the forecast. NW to SW winds on Tuesday, though some
guidance suggests a brief onshore sea breeze will develop around
18z. 

KBDL Terminal...Moderate confidence. Light precipitation through
21z gives way to scattered snow showers. Uncertainty if any
impact BDL, but it's possible a coating of snow does occur. 

Outlook /Tuesday Night through Saturday/...

Wednesday: VFR. Breezy. 

Wednesday Night: VFR. Breezy. Slight chance RA.

Thursday: Mainly VFR, with local MVFR possible. Breezy. Slight
chance RA.

Thursday Night: MVFR/IFR conditions possible. Breezy. RA
likely.

Friday: VFR. Breezy. Slight chance RA.

Friday Night: VFR. Slight chance SN.

Saturday: VFR. 

&&

.MARINE...
Forecaster Confidence Levels...

Low - less than 30 percent. 
Moderate - 30 to 60 percent. 
High - greater than 60 percent.

Through Tuesday...High confidence.

Northerly winds that were gusty earlier today are slowly
decreasing, and have taken down the Small Craft Advisories for
Boston Harbor and Narragansett Bay. The trend will be for the
winds to continue to diminish and then shift to NW later this
evening. Winds continue to weaken Tuesday, and it's possible the
SCA for the more outer waters will be taken down prior to
Tuesday afternoon, although seas will remain a little rough
beyond that time. 

Outlook /Tuesday Night through Saturday/...

Wednesday: Winds less than 25 kt. Areas of seas approaching
5 ft. 

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
gusts up to 25 kt. Areas of seas approaching 5 ft. Slight
chance of rain. 

Thursday Night: Moderate risk for Small Craft Advisory winds
with local gusts up to 30 kt. Local rough seas. Chance of rain.

Friday: Low risk for Small Craft Advisory winds with gusts up
to 25 kt. Areas of rough seas. Chance of rain. 

Friday Night: Winds less than 25 kt. Seas up to 5 ft. Slight
chance of rain, slight chance of snow. 

Saturday: Winds less than 25 kt. Seas locally approaching 5 ft.
