.SYNOPSIS...
High pressure shifts offshore tonight. A round of showers will 
likely cross the region Sunday night followed by mainly dry 
weather for the first half of the upcoming work week. Unsettled 
weather looks to return by the second half the week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH 6 AM SUNDAY/... 
A ridge of high pressure will slide to the south of our region 
tonight. The result will be mainly clear skies, light winds and 
cool temperatures. It probably will be a couple of degrees 
milder than early this morning. Nonetheless, low temps should 
still bottom out in near 50 in the coolest outlying locations 
and the middle 50s to near 60 elsewhere.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SUNDAY MORNING THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...

* Sunday will feature partly sunny skies with mainly dry weather

A shortwave dropping southeastward from the Great Lakes will 
result in southwest flow aloft developing. This warm section 
pattern should allow for an increase in mid level cloudiness as 
the day wears along; but still expect partial sunshine. The 
deeper moisture/forcing will remain to our northwest; so expect 
the vast majority of the day to remain dry. We can not rule out 
a few showers late in the day across the interior, but overall a
dry and very pleasant day of weather is on tap. The warm 
advection pattern should allow for highs to reach the upper 70s 
to around 80 in most locations. Dewpoints will be higher than 
today, but humidity will remain in check for this time of year.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
Highlights...

* No big warm ups in sight and the return of humidity. 
* Generally fair weather through mid week but turning unsettled late 
  week, where there is increased potential for heavy rainfall and 
  possible flooding concerns given antecedent conditions.  

Details...

We are currently under a positive PNA and neutral NAO regime. This 
means a highly amplified ridge over Western US (the Pacific 
Northwest are about to have the season's second major heat wave). 
But because there is a lack of blocking downstream, H5 troughs are 
either positively tilted or at best neutral which means surges of 
cooler/drier air and/or storm systems would be relatively transient 
or progressive. Putting things together, the CPC's 6-10 and 8-14 day 
outlooks of near normal temperatures and near normal precipitation 
make a lot of sense. 

Then by middle of next week, the PNA is forecast to go neutral and 
the jet stream flattens out, allowing for the Bermuda High to exert 
a greater influence and higher heights to build back into the 
Eastern seaboard. Yet warm weather fans should not rejoice 
prematurely. Troughing persists over the eastern United States with 
an upper level low expected to develop over the Ohio/Tennessee 
Valleys by mid-week even as the ridge over the western Atlantic 
strengthens and builds westward toward the east coast. This would 
result in a predominantly meridional flow for Southern New England. 
In fact, meteograms from ensemble guidance suggest that most days 
would feature rather seasonable temperatures (upper 70s to low 80s) 
with no strong signal for big warmups until perhaps late next week 
at the earliest. Of course, if we were able to get a more zonal 
component on one of these days, we could pop into the mid to upper 
80s but it is nearly impossible to determine which day could feature 
summer heat. 

In addition, with the meridional flow comes tropical moisture (with 
PWATs rising to 2 inches or maximum of sounding climatology!) and 
the risk for moderate to heavy rainfall along the axis of 
convergence, especially towards late week. And with antecedent 
conditions, there is increased potential for flooding where the 
stalled boundary sets up but it is too premature to pin down any 
more geographic details.

cloudiness. Perhaps a few showers across the interior by late in the 
day, but appears main threat of precipitation will hold off until 
nightfall. S to SE winds of 5-10 knots.

KBOS Terminal...High Confidence in TAF.

KBDL Terminal...High Confidence in TAF.

Forecaster Confidence Levels.

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

Tonight through Sunday...High Confidence. High pressure sliding
to our south tonight and Sunday will keep winds/seas below 
small craft advisory thresholds through Sunday. As this high 
passes to our south the winds will shift to the SSE at 10 to 15 
knots with a few gusts near 20 knots on Sunday; but below small 
craft advisory criteria.
