.WHAT HAS CHANGED...
While no significant changes have been made to the forecast, cannot 
rule out brief pop-up showers this afternoon, followed by widespread 
rainfall Saturday. While drier on Mother's Day, there remains a low 
chance of an afternoon shower or thunderstorm, though confidence 
remains low in terms of the areal coverage. Unsettled once again 
late Sunday night into Monday, followed with below normal 
temperatures early next week. 

&&

.KEY MESSAGES...

- No significant weather concerns are expected today, though a 
  few brief afternoon showers are possible.

- Mother's Day weekend looks split, with widespread showers and
  cooler temperatures Saturday followed by somewhat warmer and 
  drier conditions Sunday.

- Another round of unsettled weather is possible Sunday night
  into Monday, followed by a brief drying trend midweek with  
  temperatures remaining below normal.

.DISCUSSION...
KEY MESSAGE 1...No significant weather concerns are expected today, 
though a few brief afternoon showers are possible.

While high pressure builds offshore of the Carolinas, a surface 
trough and fairly strong mid-level shortwave move through SNE this 
afternoon. Despite this forcing, the airmass remains considerably 
drier in the wake of Thursday morning's cold front passage. PWAT 
values are only around 0.4-0.6 inches per the 00z HREF, indicating 
limited moisture availability. As a result, expect mainly diurnal 
driven showers this afternoon, with the greatest coverage across 
interior MA where PoPs range from 25-40 percent. Elsewhere, PoPs are 
generally 15-25 percent between roughly 2-8 PM. Not all locations 
will see rainfall, and any showers that do develop should be brief 
and light. Temperatures today will be seasonably cool, with highs 
running a few degrees below climatological normals in the upper 50s 
to lower 60s. Dry weather returns tonight, though clouds will 
gradually increase from west to east ahead of a more widespread 
rainfall event expected Saturday. Overnight lows fall into the 30s 
and 40s, coldest across interior MA where some locations dip into 
the mid 30s, while coastal areas remain milder in the mid 40s.

KEY MESSAGE 2...Mother's Day weekend looks split, with widespread 
showers and cooler temperatures Saturday followed by somewhat warmer 
and drier conditions Sunday. 

Guidance continues to support unsettled conditions developing by 
late Saturday morning into the afternoon as an elevated warm front 
and accompanying 850mb shortwave move through SNE. Temperatures are 
somewhat below normal with highs in the upper 50s to lower 60s. Wind 
direction aloft are SW, this helps to increase humidity, PWATs too 
are increasing, 0.8-1.0 inches per the 00z HREF, which is more or 
less the climatological normal for the first half of May, promotes 
widespread beneficial rainfall. 00z GEFS indicate a moderate 
probability of 50 percent for totals to exceed 0.5 inches. ECMWF ENS 
show something similar, with an axis of moderate-high probabilities 
(60-80 percent) of 0.5 inches across coastal RI and SE MA. This does 
align somewhat with HREF, currently thinking widespread amounts of 
0.3-0.6 inches with locally higher amounts possible in any convective 
showers. And at this time, there are no concerns with flooding. 

Conditions improve heading into Sunday as subtle mid-level height 
rises support quieter and milder condition's for Mother's Day. While 
SW to WSW flow persists, a notably drier airmass is not expected to 
move into SNE. In fact, dew points climb into the low to mid 50s, 
making it feel somewhat more humid compared to the much drier 
conditions observed Thursday and Friday. Given the lingering 
moisture and embedded shortwave energy within the flow, cannot rule 
out a passing afternoon shower or thunderstorm as a few hundred J/kg 
of CAPE may develop. That said, Sunday does not appear to be a 
washout, though those with outdoor plans should remain weather 
aware. Afternoon highs rise into the low to mid 70s.

KEY MESSAGE 3...Another round of unsettled weather is possible 
Sunday night into Monday, followed by a brief drying trend midweek 
with temperatures remaining below normal.

Attention then turns to Sunday evening into early Monday as another 
mid-level trough and embedded shortwave energy moves through SNE. 
This likely supports development of weak surface low pressure south 
of the region, bringing another round of rain during this timeframe. 
While details regarding exact timing and rainfall amounts remain 
uncertain, the overall signal for unsettled conditions is 
increasing. A brief drying trend is possible Tuesday into Wednesday 
as high pressure attempts to build S and W of the region. 
Temperatures trend back below climatological normal early next week, 
with highs mainly in the 50s Monday and upper 50s to lower 60s 
Tuesday and Wednesday.

VFR. Mid-level clouds increasing W to E overnight. WSW to SW wind 
less than 5 kt.

Saturday...High confidence.

Low-end VFR early, MVFR by late morning into early afternoon with 
widespread RA developing. Cannot rule out embedded thunder at this 
time, terminals along the southern coast may have the greatest 
chance for rumbles. S wind increasing into the afternoon, gusts up 
to 20-25 kt possible. 

KBOS Terminal...High confidence in TAF.

KBDL Terminal...High confidence in TAF.

.MARINE...
Forecaster Confidence Levels...

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

Through Saturday...High confidence.

A weak frontal passage this afternoon produce SW gusts 20 to 25 kt 
for the nearshore waters off the south coast of MA & RI, followed by 
gust less than 15 kt tonight. Seas today into tonight are 2 to 4 ft.

An area of low pressure tracks well inland on Saturday, a warm front 
lifting north during the day and periods of rain and embedded 
thunderstorms. A wind shift to the S-SSE and increasing wind speeds 
15 to 20 kt and gust 25+ kt. Seas build from S to N as well 
throughout the day 4 to 7 ft. Due to these conditions, likely will 
need a Small Craft Advisory come Saturday afternoon. 

Outlook /Saturday Night through Tuesday/...

Saturday Night: Low risk for Small Craft Advisory winds with
gusts up to 25 kt. Seas up to 5 ft. Rain showers, isolated
thunderstorms, patchy fog. 

Sunday: Winds less than 25 kt. Areas of seas approaching 5 ft.
