.DISCUSSION...
KEY MESSAGE 1... A warm and rather windy Tuesday is on tap, with the 
exception of areas along the immediate south coast of RI and MA 
where onshore flow off the cooler ocean will limit temperatures.

Overall, the synoptic setup remains largely unchanged, with high 
pressure offshore and a slow-moving cold front approaching from the 
west. This configuration supports a tightening pressure gradient and 
a period of strong southwest winds. 

A robust 925mb low-level jet of 35-45 kt is expected along and east 
of I-95 from Boston to Providence. BUFKIT soundings indicate a 
shallow inversion early in the day, which should erode with daytime 
heating and allow stronger winds to mix toward the surface. That 
said, southwest wind events are typically more uncertain that 
northwest flow event, so some uncertainty remains regarding the 
extent to which 40-45 kt winds aloft will mix down. Those winds come 
most likely between 3-7 PM. Notably, the strongest core of the low-
level jet increases to 50-65 kt shortly after sunset. However, as 
boundary layer decoupling increases with the loss of daytime 
heating, redevelopment of a nocturnal inversion should limit the 
ability of these stronger winds to reach the surface. A Wind 
Advisory remains in effect for southern RI and most of eastern MA 
from noon through 10 PM.

In addition to the wind threat, it will be quiet warm for early May. 
Southwest flow will advect anomalously warm air into the region, with 
925mb temperatures peaking between +17C and +20C. This supports 
highs in the upper 70s to lower 80s, well above normal, though still 
well below daily record values in the lower 90s. 

Given ongoing dry conditions combined with gusty winds and minimum 
RH values dropping to around 30-35 percent, there is an elevated 
fire weather concern. Coordination with state partners has led to 
issuance of a Special Weather Statement for much of southern New 
England. 

Precipitation chances remain minimal today. A slow-moving cold front 
approaching from the west may trigger an isolated shower or 
thunderstorm, primarily across far northwest MA. The better 
convective potential remains well to our north across northern New 
York and northern New England. 

KEY MESSAGE 2...Cold front brings the wettest period of the week 
Wednesday afternoon into Thursday with scattered showers, a few 
embedded thunderstorms, and a turn to cooler temperatures. 

A slow-moving cold front moves across southern New England starting 
late Wednesday afternoon as it approaches western New England and 
should exit the coastal waters by Thursday morning. This will likely 
be the wettest stretch of the week as a plume of higher PWATs, with 
values ~1.3" (1.5-2 standard deviations above normal) advect into the 
region with modest 850mb shortwave energy. Temperatures are going to 
be noticeably cooler, in the upper 60s to lower 70s. With the high 
PWATs, dew points are 53-57F, should support 100-200 units of CAPE 
and should promote embedded thunder. The front moves offshore and 
while previous model runs have indicated a secondary surface low 
moving near or south of the coastal waters, tonight's runs do not 
favor this outcome. A shift of winds occur Thursday to the northwest 
and this will lead to PWATs falling below 0.3". Feeling a bit more 
confident in drier conditions into Thursday afternoon, though it 
will be seasonable in the mid 60s. 

KEY MESSAGE 3...Late week into the weekend trends cooler, Friday is 
looking drier but increasing uncertainty for Saturday/Sunday. 

Late week into the weekend will be a noticeable change from the warm 
start to the week, with cooler temperatures settling in. Highs 
generally run slightly below normal for early to mid-May, mainly in 
the lower 60s, though temperatures may approach the 70 degree mark 
by Mother's Day (do not forget kiddos). 

Friday currently looks drier as the system departs, but uncertainty 
increases heading into the weekend. Guidance continues to suggest 
another area of low pressure may approach sometime Saturday, though 
timing and evolution remain low confidence at this range. Whether 
conditions improve in time for Sunday is still uncertain and will be 
monitored in subsequent forecasts.
