  conditions through Friday.

  Saturday and again late Sunday into Monday.

.DISCUSSION...
KEY MESSAGE 1...Cold front shifts offshore this morning with 
lingering rain ending west to east, followed by drier, cooler, and 
seasonable conditions through Friday. 

A cold front continues shifting offshore this morning while a 
secondary area of light to moderate rain lifts east toward the I-95 
corridor for the morning commute. Rain exits from west to east 
roughly between 6-10 AM, although Nantucket may see lingering 
showers into early afternoon as the front remains nearby offshore. 

In the wake of the front, drier and cooler conditions overspread 
southern New England through Friday. CAA ushers in a more seasonable 
airmass characterized by lower PWAT values generally below 0.3 
inches. Despite steep low-level lapse rates and a well-mixed 
boundary layer this afternoon, limited moisture should confine any 
cloud development to scattered fair weather cu. High temperatures 
today reach the lower to mid 60s, near climatological normals for 
early/mid-May. 

WNW winds remain breezy today with gusts generally below 20 kt 
before diminishing overnight, though winds should remain elevated 
enough to limit strong radiational cooling despite increasingly 
clear skies. Even so, overnight lows fall into the lower to mid 40s 
in urban locations and the upper 30s across rural areas. Portions of 
the eastern Berkshires may briefly dip into the mid 30s. 

Heading into Friday, a strong mid-level shortwave may trigger an 
isolated shower, though most locations should remain dry given 
limited moisture availability with PWATs only around 0.3-0.4 inches. 
Slightly cooler temperatures aloft support highs mainly in the upper 
50s to lower 60s. 

KEY MESSAGE 2...An unsettled weekend is expected with periods of 
showers Saturday and again late Sunday into Monday. 

The next opportunity for rainfall arrives Saturday as a mid-level 
trough and weak surface low pressure system moves through the 
Northeast. While some uncertainty remains regarding exact timing, 
guidance has trended toward showers arriving late Saturday morning 
into the afternoon. Additional adjustments in timing are still 
possible. Saturday appears raw and cool with highs mainly in the 
lower 60s. A period of wetting rainfall is increasing, with ensemble 
guidance indicating great than a 60 percent probability of at least 
0.25 inches of rainfall. There is also a lower, but non-negligible, 
10-20 percent chance of totals exceeding 0.50 inches. 

Conditions improve for Mother's Day (Sunday) as SNE briefly resides 
within a relative lull in the active pattern. Dry weather and 
somewhat milder temperatures are expected, with highs in the upper 
60s to lower 70s.

Attention then turns to late Sunday into early next week as another 
mid-level trough and embedded shortwave energy move through the 
Northeast. This will likely support the development of weak surface 
low pressure and a return to unsettled weather with another round of 
rain late Sunday night into Monday. Brief drying Tuesday as high 
pressure attempts to build south of the region. Temperatures trend 
back below normal early next week, with highs generally in the upper 
50s to lower 60s.

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

waters, 4-6 ft. A Small Craft Advisory will remain in effect through 
early afternoon due to those conditions. Seas fall by the early to 
mid-afternoon with high pressure building from the SW. On Friday, a 
weak frontal passage may produce wind gusts 20-25 kt and seas of 3-5 
ft, sub-advisory, but will need to be monitored.
