.WHAT HAS CHANGED...
Showers and storms may return Wednesday evening as a warm front
approaches the region. No major changes otherwise.
&&
.KEY MESSAGES...
- Dry through the rest of today and tonight before the risk for
showers and thunderstorms returns Wednesday afternoon/evening.
- Diurnal showers and thunderstorms possible Wednesday through
Friday. Above normal temperatures peaking Thursday into Friday.
- Warm conditions with lower humidity throughout this weekend.
Uncertainty remains high regarding potential rain showers for
Saturday, and again early next week.
&&
.DISCUSSION...
KEY MESSAGE 1...Dry through the rest of today and tonight before
the risk for showers and thunderstorms returns Wednesday
afternoon/evening.
High pressure south of Long Island continues moving off to the
south and east as the ridge aloft starts receding from the
northeast US. Some shortwave disturbances will then start to
make their way across the region as its influence wanes, which
will aid in the return of some showers and storms. Lows tonight
will generally be in the upper 50s and low 60s as light SW winds
continue for most; winds to 15 kt will be possible through
tonight across the Cape and Islands.
A warm front will push through southern New England Wednesday
evening/night and showers and thunderstorms will likely
accompany it. With regards to severity, not seeing much that
would scream a severe weather threat with these possible storms.
CSU ML guidance has about a 5-15 percent chance for severe
winds in western MA and CT, along with part of central MA for
Wednesday. Winds also shift more southerly going into Wednesday
afternoon/evening, helping bring in more moisture from the
south. PWATs may approach 2.0", and NAEFS guidance indicates
that values Wednesday into Thursday morning may be around 2-3
standard deviations above normal. Details regarding the coverage
of these showers and storms still need to be ironed out, but
the latest guidance is favoring the heavier rainfall remaining
to our north and south. With the moist airmass overhead, some
spots with locally heavier rainfall can't be ruled out, but much
can still change between now and when this front comes through.
Rainfall amounts at this time may only reach around 0.10-0.20".
Hot and humid conditions will be left in the wake of this warm
frontal passage.
KEY MESSAGE 2...Diurnal showers and thunderstorms possible
Wednesday through Friday. Above normal temperatures peaking
Thursday into Friday.
High pressure towards the southeast USA will push heat and
humidity into southern New England later this week. Will
likely need to consider heat headlines with later forecasts.
Uncertainty remains for how quickly and how far west a backdoor
cold front can make it Friday. This would have implications for
heat headlines across eastern MA as well as RI. Should this
front be delayed from its current timing, then more of southern
New England would be at risk for headlines using the lower 2-day
threshold.
Portions of the CT River Valley in MA and CT could see heat
index values around 100F, while more of our region should be
well into the 90s both Thursday and Friday. Coastal areas of MA
and RI are expected to be cooler Friday, but the timing still
needs to be ironed out.
The increased heat and humidity will also set the stage for
possible showers and thunderstorms later this week. There is
not much concern for the threat of widespread severe
thunderstorms at this time due to the lack of wind shear and
weak forcing mechanisms. The western half of southern New
England would have the higher risk, which is not unusual for
this time of year.
KEY MESSAGE 3...Warm conditions with lower humidity throughout
this weekend. Uncertainty remains high regarding potential
rain showers for Saturday, and again early next week.
Anticipating the passage of a couple fronts Saturday and Sunday.
The main impact will be lower humidity, with Sunday anticipated
the drier of the two. Lingering showers possible Saturday, but
plenty of dry hours too. Some guidance members indicated a weak
low pressure passing by towards the south coast of New England
sometime Monday into Tuesday. Kept a mention of showers in the
forecast, but confidence in these details is low.

.AVIATION /00Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Forecaster Confidence Levels...
Low - less than 30 percent.
Moderate - 30 to 60 percent.
High - greater than 60 percent.
Through Wednesday Night...High confidence.
VFR conditions continue through much of Wednesday. Some MVFR to
localized IFR conditions may overspread parts of the region
from southwest to northeast by early evening Wednesday along
with a few showers. Showers become more likely Wednesday night,
but coverage is still relatively uncertain.
Gusts will diminish this evening, but may linger a bit longer
near the upper Cape/Buzzards Bay area. For Wednesday, gusts to
around 20 kt may make a return by the mid/late morning hours. SW
winds will persist through tonight and into Wednesday before
shifting more S Wednesday night in the wake of a passing warm
front.
KBOS Terminal...High confidence in TAF.
KBDL Terminal...High confidence in TAF.
Outlook /Thursday through Sunday/...
Thursday through Thursday Night: Mainly VFR, with local MVFR
possible. Chance SHRA, slight chance TSRA.
Friday: Mainly VFR, with local MVFR possible. Chance SHRA,
chance TSRA.
Friday Night: VFR. Chance SHRA, slight chance TSRA.
Saturday: VFR. Slight chance SHRA.
Saturday Night through Sunday: VFR.

.MARINE...
Forecaster Confidence Levels...
Low - less than 30 percent.
Moderate - 30 to 60 percent.
High - greater than 60 percent.
Through Wednesday Night...High confidence.
Small Craft Advisories continue over the nearshore southern
waters with the elevated SW winds continuing into this evening.
After that, winds will be sustained at or below 15 kt with only
occasional gusts to 25 kt expected more towards Nantucket and
the outer waters near it. Winds shift more SW then SSW Wednesday
afternoon, sustained at around 15-20 kt with gusts remaining
just below Small Craft criteria. Seas generally 2-4 ft through
Wednesday night, though the southern outer waters may start to
creep to 5 ft heading into Thursday morning.
Outlook /Thursday through Sunday/...
Thursday: Winds less than 25 kt. Local rough seas. Chance of
rain showers, isolated thunderstorms.
Thursday Night: Winds less than 25 kt. Seas up to 5 ft. Chance
of rain showers, isolated thunderstorms.
Friday: Winds less than 25 kt. Seas locally approaching 5 ft.
Friday Night through Saturday: Winds less than 25 kt. Slight
chance of rain showers.
Saturday Night through Sunday: Winds less than 25 kt.
