.WHAT HAS CHANGED...
Increased this afternoon high temps to upper 60s/low 70s away from 
the south coast, given recent hourly trends coupled with strong WAA 
and March sun.

&&

.KEY MESSAGES...

- Warm conditions today will be followed by widespread showers 
  tonight into early Friday morning. Cooler Fri, but still near
  normal, along with increasing filtered afternoon sunshine.

- Colder than normal and blustery Saturday, then not as cold Sunday 
  with gradual warming into early next week. Trending unsettled with 
  periods of showers Tuesday through late-week. 

&&

.DISCUSSION...

KEY MESSAGE 1...Warm conditions today will be followed by widespread 
showers tonight into early Friday morning. Cooler Fri, but still 
near normal, along with increasing filtered afternoon sunshine.

Given rapidly warming temps late this morning and early afternoon, 
bumped up highs away from the south coast. Model soundings have 
+11C/+12C at 950 mb along with good mixing via SW winds 15-25 mph, 
should support highs in the upper 60s to lower 70s. Cooler south 
coast given SSW wind trajectory. 

Short wave and attending cold front approach the region this evening 
from the west. Good model agreement on showers arriving in CT and 
western MA between 6PM-9PM and 9PM-12AM. Some elevated instability 
that may yield an isolated thunderstorm tonight, along with a few 
downpours, but overall, mainly just widespread showers. Modest 
forcing for ascent coupled with a saturated column, will yield a 
swath of QPF of 0.2 to 0.4 inches, with local amounts up to 0.5 to 
0.6 inches across western CT/MA. By no means any flooding, more like 
beneficial rains. Above average temps tonight give prefrontal 
airmass. Lows 40-45, mid to upper 30s across northern MA. These 
temps are about 5-10 degs above normal. 

Friday...any morning showers exit off the south coast by midday, 
with drier and cooler post frontal airmass overspreading the region 
from north to south. This will support increasing sunshine through 
mid/high clouds. However, strong CAA on gusty N-NW winds 15-25 mph, 
with gusts up to 30 mph during the morning, will yield much cooler 
temps with highs 45-50. These temps are seasonable for late March, 
but the gusty NNW wind will make it feel much cooler. 

KEY MESSAGE 2...Colder than normal and blustery Saturday, then not 
as cold Sunday with gradual warming into early next week. Trending 
unsettled with periods of showers Tuesday through late-week. 

Dry, cool, and windy conditions expected Saturday. Under mid-level 
troughiness, a below normal airmass sits over the northeast. 925mb 
temperatures stay around -8 to -6C yielding highs in the mid to 
upper 30s, around 10-15 degrees below normal for late March. CAA 
will support a well-mixed boundary layer bringing down stronger NW 
winds with gusts 20-30 mph. This will make it feel much like Winter 
on Saturday with wind chill values in the 20s. Temperatures 
gradually moderate Sunday as the mid-level trough exits to the east. 
High temperatures return to seasonable values in the 40s to near 50. 
Another windy day is possible Sunday with a SW LLJ jet nudging in 
from the south bringing gusty SW winds 20-35 mph. 

After a few dry days, the pattern trends unsettled with ensemble 
guidance showing a series of shortwave troughs moving through the 
flow, tracking across southern New England. There is some subtle 
differences in timing across guidance in the timing of the waves 
that will need to be ironed out as we get closer. With anomalous 
moisture gradually advecting in early to mid-week, this will support 
periods of showers through the week. Temperatures lean above normal 
next week.

.AVIATION /18Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
Low - less than 30 percent.

High - greater than 60 percent.

This evening and overnight...Moderate confidence.

SW winds 15-20 kt gusting up to 35 kt along the south coast thru

strongest LLWS along the south coast of RI/MA, including Cape Cod 
and the Islands. 

Friday...moderate confidence. 

Conditions deteriorate to MVFR/IFR in -RA overspreading the region 
from west to east between 23z-04z. Southwest winds becoming 
northwest between 06 and 12Z Friday associated with the FROPA. 

Friday night...High confidence.

VFR cloud bases along with dry weather and modest NNE winds.

in exact timing.

criteria through the end of this week with a few gale force gusts 
possible on the edge of the outer marine zones.
