1236 PM EDT SUN MAY 6 2007
...GROWERS AND ALL WITH FLORAL/VEGETATION FREEZE PROTECTION
INTERESTS SHOULD BE PREPARING TO MINIMIZE FREEZE/FROST DAMAGE
TONIGHT ESPECIALLY S OF THE MASS PIKE...
.UPDATE /MID MORNING/...
JUST A QUICK UPDATE THIS MORNING TO REFLECT TRENDS IN CLOUDS.
TEMPERATURES STILL LOOK GOOD...BUT WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR AMOUNT
OF SUNSHINE...PARTICULARLY AWAY FROM THE EAST COAST WHERE THE
ONSHORE FLOW WILL KEEP THINGS CHILLY FOR EARLY MAY.
&&
.SHORT TERM...
TONIGHT...AN UPGRADE TO A FREEZE WARNING IS POSSIBLE FOR AT LEAST SE
MASS AND UPPER CAPE COD TONIGHT. NEW 12Z MODEL OUTPUT STATISTICS
ARE AS COLD OR COLDER THAN THE CURRENT FCST /NOT RELYING ON THE NAM
GUIDANCE WHICH IS KNOWN TO BE GENERALLY INFERIOR TO THE GFS MOS
GUIDANCE/. COMBINATION OF MWN TEMP AT 15Z OF 21F /LATE DAY MWN TEMP
IS USUALLY A VERY COOD GAUGE OF RAD POTENTIAL IN IDEAL RADIATORS/
AND NEW 12Z GFS MAV MOS GUIDANCE AS WELL AS INTERNAL GUIDANCE IS
LEANING MY FCST DECISION MAKING TO THE MORE ADVERSE SIDE OF THE
LEDGER TODAY IN WHAT WILL BE A DAY OF EMASS DAYTIME MAXS AT LEAST
10F BELOW NORMAL.
RECORD LOWS AND NORMAL HIGH/LOWS MONDAY:
BOS 37-1992 AND EARLIER YEARS 66/47
PVD 32-1970 AND EARLIER YEARS 66/46
BDL 28-2001 69/45
ORH 28-1970 63/42
MQE 33-1970 ARD 64/44
MONDAY...A WARMING TEMPERATURE TREND BEGINS AS THE HIGH PUSHES
SOUTH OF THE REGION. A SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST FLOW WILL DEVELOP
WITH VERY DRY CONDITIONS CONTINUING. 850 MILLIBAR TEMPS AROUND
7 DEGREES CELSIUS UNDER SUNNY SKIES SUPPORTS HIGHS IN THE LOWER
70S. TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO BE COOLER ALONG THE COAST AS
SEA BREEZES PREVAIL.
&&
.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
NOT TOO MUCH TO TALK ABOUT DURING THE LONG TERM PERIOD. 00Z GFS/GFS
ENSEMBLE/ECMWF ARE IN AGREEMENT THAT SHARP SHORT WAVE TROUGH MOVING
THROUGH SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND EARLY THIS MORNING WILL CONTINUE
SOUTHWARD...AND EVENTUALLY CLOSE OFF JUST OFF THE SOUTHEAST COAST BY
MONDAY NIGHT.
THIS CUTOFF WILL BE FAR ENOUGH SOUTH OF SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND TO
ALLOW FOR A LONG PERIOD OF MAINLY ZONAL FLOW DURING THE LONG TERM
PERIOD. THIS SHOULD ALLOW FOR A WARM AND RATHER DRY PERIOD OF
WEATHER...WITH HIGHS IN THE MID 70S TO PERHAPS MID 80S FROM TUE
THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK. A FEW WEAK SHORT WAVES EMBEDDED IN THE
ZONAL FLOW MAY RIDE JUST TO OUR NORTH AND OCCASIONALLY DROP A WEAK
COLD FRONT OR TWO FROM WEDNESDAY ONWARD INTO THE WEEKEND. THIS COULD
SPARK A FEW SHOWERS OR ISOLD THUNDERSTORMS...BUT AT THIS TIME ANY
RAINFALL LOOKS FAIRLY INSIGNIFICANT.
MAY HAVE TO BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR RED FLAG CONDITIONS ON TUESDAY
WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF DECENT MIXING IN THE WESTERLY FLOW AND
TEMPERATURES CLIMBING INTO THE 80S. MIN RH VALUES SHOULD BE BELOW 30
PERCENT SINCE DEW POINTS ARENT EXPECTED TO CLIMB ANY HIGHER THAN
40.
&&
.AVIATION /17Z-12Z/...
CONDS GRADUALLY IMPROVING FM N TO S TO VFR CLEAR BY 22Z. PATCH CI NR
30 THOUSAND POSSIBLE ARD MIDNIGHT TONIGHT.
WIND GUSTS TO 30KT FROM THE NE ALONG THE COAST UNTIL 19Z.

MARINE...
.SHORT TERM...A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CONTINUES ACROSS ALL THE
COASTAL WATERS THIS MORNING THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. WIND GUSTS 25-30
KT CURRENTLY REPORTED AT MANY OF THE BUOYS AND COASTAL OBSERVING
SITES. WINDS WILL DIMINISH BY LATE THIS AFTERNOON. HOWEVER A NE
SWELL UP TO 6 FT WILL CONTINUE ACROSS THE OUTER WATERS THROUGH
TONIGHT. WH RASIED A FT IN RI/BID SOUND.
LONG TERM...HIGH PRESSURE MOVES OFF THE SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND COAST
BY MONDAY NIGHT...SETTING UP A WESTERLY RETURN FLOW TUE THROUGH FRI.
AT TIMES...THE FLOW COULD REACH SCA LEVELS DUE TO A TIGHTENING
GRADIENT...BUT THE COLD WATER TEMPS THIS TIME OF YEAR SHOULD KEEP
ANY GUSTS FROM GOING ABOVE 30 KT. THE BEST CHANCE OF SCA GUSTS MAY
ACTUALLY BE NEAR SHORE WHERE BETTER MIXING SHOULD TAKE PLACE.
&&
.FIRE WEATHER...
RELATIVE HUMIDITIES DROPPING TO 20 TO 30 PERCENT AND WIND GUSTS TO
20 KT WILL YIELD NEAR RED FLAG CONDITIONS...BUT CONDITIONS ARE ONLY
