.KEY MESSAGES...

- Cold front moves through the region this afternoon and exits
  tomorrow morning, scattered showers with embedded thunder are 
  possible along with cooler temperatures.

  seasonable to slightly below seasonable temperatures.

.DISCUSSION...
KEY MESSAGE 1...Cold front moves through the region this afternoon 
and exits tomorrow morning, scattered showers with embedded thunder 
are possible along with cooler temperatures. 

A slow-moving cold front moves across southern New England starting 
this afternoon as it approaches western New England and exiting the 
region's coastal waters tomorrow morning. While not as windy as the 
last two days, expecting a period of gusty SW wind, 20-30 mph, due 
to a tight pressure gradient between the incoming front and surface 
high to the east. SW flow advects higher PWATs, values around 1.3", 
which is 1.5-2 standard deviations above normal. Rain arrives to 
western MA and northwest CT between noon and 2 PM, reaching eastern 
southern New England between 4-7 PM. Temperatures are noticeably 
cooler, in the upper 60s to lower 70s with dew points between 53-
57F, this should support of a few hundred units of CAPE and embedded 
thunder. Rain amounts generally are between 0.1-0.3" with localized 
amounts greater than 0.5" within thunderstorms. The cold front moves 
offshore tomorrow morning with showers linger for areas SE of I-95. 
Do think showers end before 8 AM, but could persist for Cape Cod and 
the Islands as late as 10 AM to noon. 

KEY MESSAGE 2...Drying trend second half of Thursday into Friday 
along with seasonable to slightly below seasonable temperatures. 

Late morning into early afternoon does feature drying conditions 
across southern New England and more typical temperatures for early 
May. CAA does advect a seasonable airmass and low PWATs, less than 
0.3" by the afternoon. That said, we feel more confident that the 
second half of the day will be rain free with variable amounts of 
cloud cover and seasonable highs between the lower and mid-60s. A 
cool night ahead with northwest winds. These winds should help limit 
the potential for radiational cooling as there will be less in the 
way of cloud cover. Nevertheless, a cool night, urban areas have a 
nightly low in the lower to mid 40s while rural areas fall as low as 
the upper 30s. Eastern Berkshires could dip as low as 33-36F. Do 
warm up, though a tad cooler than average with breezy westerly winds 
Friday under a mixture of sun and clouds. 

KEY MESSAGE 3...The weekend looks unsettled with a couple periods of 
showers, one Saturday and the other towards Sunday evening/Monday. 

The next opportunity for rain arrives sometime early Saturday as a 
mid-level trough and weak surface low pressure system passes through 
the northeast. Raw type of day with highs in the lower 60s, wetting 
rain of a quarter of an inch of rain is possible, ensembles have the 
probabilities between 40-60 percent. Towards the end of the forecast 
period Sunday into early next week there are uncertainties, though 
the forecast for Sunday, Mother's Day, has improved, a bit of a lull 
in the action. The second system appears to be more of a rain-maker, 
due to potential phasing between a southern-stream 500mb vort max 
rippling through the Gulf Coast states with northern stream broader 
troughing north of the Gt Lakes region. Timing and details regarding 
this frontal system are still hazy but the timing looks to be more 
centered at absolute earliest late Sunday afternoon, but more 
probable Sunday night into Monday.
