.WHAT HAS CHANGED...
Small craft headlines issued for many of our waters tonight into
Saturday morning.
&&
.KEY MESSAGES...
- Dry with fall-like weather tonight through Sat night. Lows
both nights mainly in the 40s-lower 50s. Highs Sat mainly in
the 60s perhaps flirting with 70 in the lower CT River Valley.
- Next chance for rain Sunday into Monday. There remains
uncertainty in the details such as coverage, timing, and
amounts. Showers may linger through early next week. A coastal
low pressure is possible late next week.

.DISCUSSION...
KEY MESSAGE 1...Dry with fall-like weather tonight through Sat
night. Lows both nights mainly in the 40s-lower 50s. Highs Sat
mainly in the 60s perhaps flirting with 70 in the lower CT River
Valley.
A very pleasant fall-like airmass is on tap for the region tonight
through Sat night. This as high pressure builds eastward across
Quebec tonight and into northern New England/Canadian Maritimes Sat
into Sat night.
Drier and cooler air works into the region tonight. Winds should
decouple enough overnight for lows to drop into the 40s across many
locations...but lower-middle 50s in some urban centers as well as
the Cape/Islands where a stiff N breeze will keep temps from
bottoming out. Plenty of sunshine on Sat...but cool NE flow will
result in highs mainly in the 60s perhaps flirting with 70 in parts
of the Lower CT River Valley. Coolest high temps Sat will be found
along the immediate eastern MA coast, Cape and Islands where highs
will be held in the lower to middle 60s.
High pressure slowly shifts east of the region Sat night.
However...think there will be enough of a window for a good night of
radiational cooling before thicker mid-level clouds move in toward
daybreak. Low temps should be well down into the 40s in most
locations with lower 50s in the urban heat island of Boston.
KEY MESSAGE 2...Next chance for rain Sunday into Monday. There
remains uncertainty in the details such as coverage, timing, and
amounts. Showers may linger through early next week. A coastal
low pressure is possible late next week.
The latest guidance still suggests a widespread rainfall later
Sunday into Monday morning. This is not looking like it will be
an especially dynamic system. Still a wetting rain should
overspread southern New England from west to east during the
day. The most likely period for sustained rainfall should be
Sunday night. Then the question becomes how quickly a front
pushes south of our region Monday morning.
Right now, favoring dry weather for most of Monday, continuing
through Wednesday. Some of the deterministic models suggest a
slightly farther north position of this front, keeping a small
chance for continuing precipitation towards the south coast.
Given the strength of the high pressure over eastern Canada,
have gone away from this particular solution.
Finally, the guidance suite is hinting at a possible coastal low
pressure some time Thursday into Friday. However, there are
rather large variances in track and timing. For example, the 12Z
GFS has a low pressure over the Gulf of Maine at 8 AM next
Friday. Meanwhile, the 12Z ECMWF has this same low pressure
about 300 miles east of southern MD for this same time.
Different positions also lead to different tracks due to
interactions with a mid level trough. At this time, have low
confidence in the forecast details late next week. It is a
situation that will need to be monitored.

.MARINE...
Forecaster Confidence Levels...
Low - less than 30 percent.
Moderate - 30 to 60 percent.
High - greater than 60 percent.
Tonight through Saturday night...High confidence.
As high pressure builds into Quebec tonight, expect a period of
N wind gusts near 25 knots across many of our waters given good
mixing in the cool air advection pattern over the relatively
mild ocean. We did include Cape Cod Bay/Nantucket sound as they
should see a period of good mixing with 925T dropping to between
+5C and +7C and SST still on the order of +21C/+22C.
Outlook /Sunday through Wednesday/...
Sunday: Winds less than 25 kt. Chance of rain showers.
Sunday Night: Winds less than 25 kt. Rain showers. Local
visibility 1 to 3 nm.
Monday: Low risk for Small Craft Advisory winds with gusts up
to 30 kt. Seas locally approaching 5 ft. Chance of rain
showers, slight chance of thunderstorms.
Monday Night: Moderate risk for Small Craft Advisory winds with
areas of gusts up to 30 kt. Seas up to 5 ft. Chance of rain
showers.
Tuesday: Strong winds with gusts up to 35 kt. Rough seas up to
11 ft. Slight chance of rain showers.
Tuesday Night: Strong winds with gusts up to 40 kt. Rough seas
up to 12 ft. Slight chance of rain showers.

to 13 ft. Slight chance of rain showers.
