.DISCUSSION...
KEY MESSAGE 1... Mild temperatures Thursday will be followed by a
soaking rain Thursday night into Friday, with cooler temperatures
returning for the weekend.
A few showers are possible tonight into early Thursday morning, but
otherwise a quiet period is expected. A surface low pressure system
tracking east across Ontario and Quebec will lead to increasing
south to southwest winds during the day Thursday. An impressive
4060 kt low-level jet at 925 hPa will support strong warm air
advection, allowing 925 hPa temperatures to rise to around 10C.
With sufficient diurnal mixing, especially across the interior,
surface temperatures should reach the low to mid 60s. A few
locations in the Connecticut River Valley could even approach 70F.
The South Coast, Cape, and Islands will be cooler, generally in the
mid to upper 50s, due to persistent onshore flow.
Thursday night, a cold front associated with the low to our north
will move through southern New England, bringing a period of soaking
rain. While not a washout, most locations are expected to receive
around 0.25 to 0.5 inches of rainfall. Winds will shift to the
northwest behind the front, ushering in cooler air as 925 hPa
temperatures fall to around 0C by mid-morning Friday. This will
set the stage for cooler conditions heading into the weekend.
KEY MESSAGE 2...Colder and blustery conditions to start the
weekend with gradual improvement starting late Sunday or early
Monday.
Once the cold front moves offshore on Friday, a drier airmass will
push into southern New England. Winds will pick up as the boundary
layer becomes well mixed throughout the day, with 20-30mph winds
possible. As this drier airmass moves through, it will also bring
dropping 850mb temps with the latest round of ensemble and
deterministic guidance indicating temps dropping down to around -15C
... roughly a -15C to -17C temperature anomaly. Given the arrival
time of this airmass, Friday's high temps will likely occur early in
the morning before falling throughout the day. Highs struggle into
the upper 30s to lower 40s on Saturday and Sunday with deep NW flow
and prolonged 850mb temps <-10C. Southern New England will see
gradual improvements starting Monday as high pressure moves offshore.
Starting to keep an eye on another cold front possibly dropping into
southern New England from the north late Monday or early Tuesday.
This could bring another round of cooler temperatures and rain
depending on how far south the front drops. Still quite early to
know any further details.&&

VFR. Winds becoming more steady out of the south/south southwest
around 10 knots. Still an outside chance for a sea-breeze at BOS
for a couple hours between 18-20Z.
Tonight...High confidence.
Mainly VFR conditions...But can not rule out brief marginal MVFR
cigs possible toward daybreak along with a brief spot shower or
two. S-SW winds may gust to between 20 and 25 knots near the
coast late tonight with a strengthening LLJ. We have also included LLWS
for the Cape/Islands as that southwest LLJ strengthens to around
50 knots.
Tomorrow...High confidence.
VFR conditions dominate outside perhaps some brief marginal MVFR
cigs during the early-mid morning hours. SW wind gusts of 20-30
knots develop. Generally dry weather...but a few spot showers
possible mainly early in the morning and perhaps later in the
day near the NH border. Strong LLWS possible over the south
coast with 40-50 knots of shear to 2000 feet.
Tomorrow Night...Moderate Confidence.
Conditions deteriroate to MVFR tomorrow night with -RA
overspreading the region from west to east. Southwest winds
becoming northwest between 06 and 12Z Friday.
KBOS Terminal...Moderate confidence.
Increased confidence that a sea-breeze will not occur today, but
there does remain a slight chance for some onshore flow
between 18-20Z.
KBDL Terminal...High confidence.
Outlook /Friday through Monday/...
Friday: Mainly VFR, with local MVFR possible. Breezy. Chance
RA.

coastal waters with a round of showers. SCY criteria through
the end of the week with a few gale force gusts possible on the
edge of the outer marine zones.
