A MUCH COOLER DAY IS IN STORE FOR SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND BEHIND THE
BACKDOOR COLD FRONT. HIGHS SHOULD RANGE FROM THE UPPER 60S TO THE
LOWER 70S ALONG THE IMMEDIATE COAST...TO THE UPPER 70S AND LOWER 80S
ACROSS INTERIOR SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND.
LOW CLOUDS AND FOG PATCHES ARE EXPECTED EARLY IN THE MORNING BEHIND
THE BACKDOOR COLD FRONT. HOWEVER...EXPECT THE STRONG SUN ANGLE TO
BURN THE LOW CLOUDS/FOG OFF ALLOWING FOR A PARTLY SUNNY DAY...
ESPECIALLY AS LOWER SFC DEWPOINT AIR ARRIVES FROM THE EAST.
AS FOR PRECIPITATION CHANCES WILL KEEP THINGS DRY ON THE COASTAL
PLAIN. A MARINE LAYER WILL BE IN PLACE ACROSS OUR EASTERN ZONES AND
THE FOCUS FOR ANY CONVECTION WILL BE ACROSS OUR WESTERN
ZONES...WHERE WE CARRY 30 TO 40 POPS WITH THE HIGHEST IN OUR FAR
WESTERN ZONES. THERE ALSO IS SOME INSTABILITY SO A FEW THUNDERSTORMS
WILL BE POSSIBLE. HOWEVER...THE BULK OF THE INSTABILITY AND BETTER
SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL IS WEST OF OUR FCST AREA. HAVE CONTD THE
SLIGHT THREAT OF SVR WEST IN THE HWO BUT NO GUSTY THUNDER IN THE

DRY BUT COOLER WEATHER EXPECTED WITH PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES.
SATURDAY AND SUNDAY...FAIRLY GOOD MODEL AGREEMENT ON DRY NORTHWEST
FLOW INTO NEW ENGLAND. THE 12Z GFS IS A BIT MORE PROGRESSIVE...
MOVING A MID LEVEL RIDGE ACROSS THE AREA SUNDAY. EXPECTING MAINLY
DRY...WARMING WEATHER WITH MID LEVEL RIDGING AND HIGH PRESSURE.
MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...THE DIFFERENCES IN THE GFS/ECMWF BECOME
MORE PRONOUNCED WITH THE ECMWF MOVING A MID LEVEL RIDGE ACROSS
SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND MONDAY FOLLOWED BY A MID LEVEL TROF WEDNESDAY
AND THE GFS BRINGING A STRONG COLD FRONT ACROSS THE AREA TUESDAY
FOLLOWED BY HIGH PRESSURE. LOW CONFIDENCE FORECAST FOR THIS
PERIOD. HOWEVER...THE BEST SHOT AT CONVECTION LOOKS TO BE MONDAY OR
TUESDAY. THE GFS LEANS A BIT MORE TOWARDS MONDAY...AHEAD OF THE
COLD FRONT WITH A MORE UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE. THE ECMWF IS LOOKING
MORE TOWARDS TUESDAY WITH SOME SORT OF SURFACE TROUGH OR WEAK
FRONTAL BOUNDARY. WILL MENTION CHANCE POPS WITH SLIGHT CHANCE OF
THUNDER FOR BOTH DAYS AT THIS POINT.
&&
.AVIATION /04Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
TONIGHT...HIGH CONFIDENCE THAT IFR OR LIFR CEILINGS WITH IFR VISIBILITIES

THIS MORNING OF MAY 26TH THRU THE 31ST PROJECTS A TOP 10 WARMEST MAY
OCCURRENCE AT ALL 100 PLUS YEARS CLIMATE SITES.
THE FOLLOWING IS NOT A LOCK IN PLACEMENT BUT UNLESS OUR CONSERVATIVE
PROJECTIONS ARE LARGELY IN ERROR OR THE PATTERN CHANGES DRAMATICALLY
COOLER FOR THIS THIS WEEKEND...I THINK WE ARE ON OUR WAY TO SOMETHING
VERY CLOSE TO THAT LISTED BELOW.
BOSTON.............5TH WARMEST AT 62.6
PROVIDENCE.........3RD WARMEST AT 62.5
HARTFORD VIA BDL...8TH WARMEST AT 63.2
WORCESTER..........10TH WARMEST AT 60.5
THIS BASICALLY IS A 3 TO 4.5 DEG WARMER THAN NORMAL MONTH CONTINUING
AN EXCEEDINGLY WARM SPRING...ONE THAT I HOPE MANY HERE IN SNE WILL BE
REMEMBER AS PREMATURE /LILACS 2 WEEKS AHEAD OF SCHEDULE/ AND WONDERFUL
COMPARED TO THE MORE TYPICAL COOL AND OCCASIONALLY DISMAL TIMES WE
EXPERIENCE WITH THE CHILLY MARITIME ONSHORE FLOW.
