.DISCUSSION...

KEY MESSAGE 1...Increasing clouds today with beneficial rainfall 
moving in tonight and Thursday.

Should be a mostly dry start to the day outside coastal areas of 
Massachusetts where drizzle and patchy fog will likely be ongoing. 
Otherwise, expect a lull in the activity by the late morning and 
early afternoon. Areas of rain and scattered showers increase in 
coverage later this afternoon and evening. Initially, there will be 
two areas of precipitation, showers associated with the inverted 
trough near the coast, and a more widespread shield of rain 
associated with incoming low pressure. The bulk of the rain falls 
overnight into Thursday morning with passage of upper trough from 
Ohio Valley and secondary surface low that tracks from mid Atlantic 
to Cape Cod. Still looks like a fairly quick hitting event, with the 
bulk of the rain wrapping up from west to east through the morning. 
Any lingering areas of showers and drizzle across the Cape and 
Islands come to an end around sunset. Could also see a few rumbles 
of thunder embedded within any heavier elements Thursday morning. 

Overall, this will be a quick hitting and weak system with meager 
dynamics aloft. Rainfall totals should be more beneficial with most 
areas areas picking up 0.25 to 1.00" of much needed rainfall, 
perhaps a little more in northern MA. 

Astro tides are fairly low so coastal flooding is not much of a 
concern along E MA coast. Persistent onshore flow may bring a surge 
of up to 1 foot later in week, but by then winds turn offshore as 
surface low lifts farther to the north.


KEY MESSAGE 2...Unsettled and cooler this weekend into early next 
week. 

Amplified pattern later this week and over the weekend as a building 
ridge of high pressure over central Canada traps a upper level low 
over southern Ontario. Southern New England should be far enough 
removed from coldest air aloft to keep us mostly dry, especially 
given W/NW flow, but pattern certainly favors diurnal clouds and 
perhaps a few afternoon sprinkles Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. 

It does look like upper low may lift farther north early next week, 
allowing for more of a zonal flow across northern tier of states 
which would lead to drier and milder weather Monday and Tuesday. 
However, models are notorious for breaking down these blocky 
patterns too quickly, such that it may take a little longer to see 
improving conditions. For now, forecast reflects model blend to iron 
out the uncertainty.

&&

.AVIATION /06Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Forecaster Confidence Levels...

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

06z TAF Update:

For today, slow improvement at best. Ceilings may briefly lift 
to MVFR near the coast late morning to early afternoon, but IFR 
likely redevelops by mid to late afternoon with a chance of 
- SHRA/-DZ. VFR continues across the western terminals. 

By tonight, MVFR/IFR conditions become more widespread as 
showers overspread the region, continuing into Thursday. 

KBOS Terminal...Moderate confidence in TAF timing. Very slow
improvement to MVFR late in the afternoon. There is the
potential for IFR ceilings to persist all day.

KBDL Terminal...High confidence in TAF.

Outlook /Thursday Night through Sunday/...

Thursday Night: Mainly VFR, with local MVFR possible. Breezy. 

Friday: VFR. Breezy. 

Friday Night through Saturday: VFR. 

Saturday Night: Mainly VFR, with local MVFR possible. 

Sunday: VFR. Breezy. 

&&

.MARINE...
Forecaster Confidence Levels...

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


High confidence through the end of the week.

Pressure gradient between slow-moving low pressure SE of the 40/70 
benchmark and high pressure over the Canadian Maritimes keeps E/NE 
winds in play through the end of the week. 

NE winds may approach SCA around Cape Cod with 20kt gusts. Main 
issue will be the long fetch of NE winds resulting in rough 
seas of 5 to 8 feet on outer waters through Thu where SCA 
remains posted. May have to extend it into Rhode Island and 
Block Island Sounds should confidence increase in later 
forecasts.


Outlook /Thursday Night through Sunday/...

Thursday Night: Winds less than 25 kt. Seas up to 5 ft. Slight
chance of rain showers. 

Friday through Friday Night: Winds less than 25 kt. Seas up to
5 ft. 

Saturday: Winds less than 25 kt. Areas of seas approaching
5 ft. Slight chance of rain showers. 

Saturday Night: Winds less than 25 kt. Seas locally approaching
5 ft. Slight chance of rain showers. 

Sunday: Winds less than 25 kt. Seas locally approaching 5 ft.
