A STALLED FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL REMAIN DRAPED ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW

PRESSURE MOVE NORTHEAST ALONG IT. A COLD FRONT APPROACHING FROM
THE WEST ON WEDNESDAY WILL CROSS THE AREA WEDNESDAY EVENING...
PUSHING OFFSHORE BY DAYBREAK THURSDAY. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD
IN FROM THE WEST THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY AND WILL SHIFT OFFSHORE
ON SATURDAY. HIGH PRESSURE WILL REMAIN ANCHORED OF THE EAST COAST
THROUGH MONDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TUESDAY/...
UPDATE...FCST MOSTLY ON TRACK SO ONLY MINOR CHANGES ON THIS
UPDATE. SLOWED THE TIMING OF PCPN INTO WRN AND CNTRL ME BY A FEW
HRS...WITH SHRA INCREASING IN THE FAR SW FIRST AND SPREADING N AND
E FROM THERE. ALSO HAVE NUDGED MIN TEMPS DOWN A COUPLE DEG FOR
AREAS AS THE LATER PUSH OF THE WARM FNT HAS ALLOWED FOR A MORE
SIGNIFICANT COOLING.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...STALLED FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL REMAIN
ACROSS SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA THROUGH TUESDAY
NIGHT AS SEVERAL WEAK WAVES OF LOW PRESSURE MOVE ALONG IT. MUCH OF
THIS ACTIVITY TONIGHT WILL BE CONFINED TO THE CONNECTICUT VALLEY

ELSEWHERE JUST SCATTERED SHOWERS OR AREAS OF DRIZZLE ESPECIALLY
ALONG THE COAST. SHOULD SEE ANOTHER MILD NIGHT WITH LOWS IN THE
LOWER TO MID 50S.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT/...
MORE OF THE SAME FOR WEDNESDAY. FOCUS FOR HEAVIEST PRECIP WILL
AGAIN BE IN THE CONNECTICUT VALLEY AND THE MOUNTAINS OF MAINE AND
NEW HAMPSHIRE AS LOW PRESSURE PUSHES NORTH THROUGH CENTRAL NEW
YORK. THIS MAY LIFT THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY SLIGHTLY NORTHWARD DURING
THE DAY AND MAY EVEN ALLOW SOME SUNNY BREAKS IN SOUTHEAST NEW
HAMPSHIRE AND SOUTHERN MAINE. WHOLE MESS WILL SHIFT EASTWARD IN
THE AFTERNOON WITH STEADY RAIN OVERSPREADING NEW HAMPSHIRE AND
SOUTHWEST MAINE BY EVENING. HAVE GONE WITH A BLEND OF GFS/NAM MOS
FOR HIGHS ON TUESDAY. NAM REFLECTING HIGHER TEMPS DUE TO
PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED SUNNY BREAKS BUT NOT 100 PERCENT CERTAIN OF
SEEING THESE.

RAIN WILL CONTINUE TUESDAY NIGHT AND WILL BE MAINLY FOCUSED ACROSS
SOUTHERN ZONES AS THE FRONT SHIFTS BACK TOWARD THE COAST. WILL SEE
A CONTINUING CHANCE OF SHOWERS IN THE MOUNTAINS AND FOOTHILLS ON
THE NORTHERN EDGE OF THE MAIN PRECIP FIELD. EXPECT LOWS SIMILAR TO
TONIGHT.

WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NGT OVER MORE ERN AREAS WITH A MAX 24 HOUR
QPF AROUND 3/4 INCH PSBL WITH LESS THAN 1/10 INCH OVER OUR MOST WRN
