.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
TWEAKED TEMPERATURES FOR THE REST OF TONIGHT BASED ON OBSERVED
TRENDS. MID AND HIGH LEVEL CLOUDS APPEAR TO BE GETTING ENTRAINED
INTO THE DRIER AIR OVER EASTERN MA AND RI...AND HOLDING IN FARTHER
WEST DUE TO AN INFLUX OF MOISTURE FROM THE GREAT LAKES. WILL
CONTINUE THIS TREND FOR THE REST OF TONIGHT.

EXPECTING A BRIEF INCREASE IN CLOUDS LATER TODAY AS OUR REGION
COMES UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF A MID-LEVEL SHORTWAVE MOVING OVER
NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND.

SUFFICIENT WIND IS GENERATED BETWEEN A LOW PRESSURE OVER QUEBEC
AND A HIGH PRESSURE OVER TEXAS TO BRING INCREASING WEST WINDS
ALOFT...AS HIGH AS 50 KNOTS AT 850 MB IN SOME OF THE 04/00Z
MODELS. THERE IS POTENTIAL FOR SOME OF THIS WIND ENERGY TO REACH
THE GROUND IN GUSTS FROM THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH TONIGHT. MOST
LIKELY POTENTIAL LOOKS TO HAVE GUSTS AROUND 25 KNOTS THIS
AFTERNOON...BUT COULD BE 30-35 KNOTS IN PLACES...ESPECIALLY ON
THE CAPE AND ISLANDS.

THE GOOD NEWS IS THIS WIND DIRECTION WILL NOT KEEP TEMPERATURES
DOWN QUITE AS MUCH. ALTHOUGH WIND CHILL VALUES WILL STILL BE IN
THE TEENS AND 20S. MAV GUIDANCE LOOKS A BIT OPTIMISTIC GIVEN THE
EXPECTED COLD START TO THE MORNING. USED A BLEND OF THE MOS
GUIDANCE ALONG WITH RAW 2M TEMPERATURES FROM THE GFS AND NAM FOR
MAX TEMPERATURES.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM SATURDAY/...
WIND GUST POTENTIAL SLOWLY DIMINISHES THIS EVENING...ESPECIALLY
AWAY FROM THE IMMEDIATE COASTLINE. ANOTHER DRY COLD FRONTAL
PASSAGE SATURDAY SHOULD BRIEFLY INCREASE WINDS ONCE AGAIN LATE
MORNING INTO EARLY AFTERNOON. WINDS THEN DIMINISH LATE IN THE DAY
AS A HIGH PRESSURE ARRIVES FROM THE WEST.

EXPECTING SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES TONIGHT AND SATURDAY.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
HIGHLIGHTS...

* SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS LATE SAT NIGHT AND SUN MORNING
* SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES THIS WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK
* TEMPERATURES MODERATING ABOVE SEASONABLE NORMALS TUE THROUGH THU

OVERVIEW...MEDIUM RANGE GUIDANCE IS IN GOOD AGREEMENT THROUGH
EARLY NEXT WEEK...THEN SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES DEVELOP TOWARD THE
END OF THE EXTENDED PERIOD. A FEW FAST MOVING SHORTWAVES WILL MOVE
ACROSS THE REGION SUNDAY INTO MONDAY...OTHERWISE A QUIET PATTERN
WITH SEASONABLE TEMPS THROUGH MONDAY. SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES
DEVELOP BY THE MIDDLE AND END OF NEXT WEEK AS A SPLIT FLOW REGIME
DEVELOPS AND MODELS DIFFER ON HOW QUICKLY SOUTHERN STREAM UPPER
TROF/CUT OFF EJECTS EAST FROM THE SW USA. GFS IS VERY PROGRESSIVE
LIFTING THE TROF EASTWARD AND BRINGING A WET SYSTEM TO SNE
SOMETIME DURING THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK. ECMWF AND ITS ENSEMBLE
MEAN ARE MUCH SLOWER TO EJECT THIS SYSTEM EAST AND KEEPS IT WELL
TO THE WEST THROUGH THE PERIOD WITH DRY WEATHER. WE ARE LEANING
TOWARD THE ECMWF FOR THE FORECAST AS THESE CUT OFF SYSTEMS IN THE
SW US ARE TYPICALLY SLOWER TO MOVE EAST AS SPLIT FLOW PATTERN
DEVELOPS. WE HAVE ABOVE AVERAGE CONFIDENCE THAT TEMPS WILL
MODERATE ABOVE SEASONABLE NORMALS TOWARD THE MIDDLE OF NEXT
WEEK...BUT CONFIDENCE IS A BIT LOWER ON MAINTAINING DRY WEATHER
THROUGH THE END OF THE PERIOD DUE TO MODEL SPREAD.

SATURDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY...A FAST MOVING SHORTWAVE WILL MOVE
THROUGH LATE SAT NIGHT AND SUNDAY MORNING AND MAY BRING A FEW SNOW
SHOWERS AS THE COLUMN MOISTENS AND COULD SEE MINOR ACCUM IN THE
INTERIOR. OTHERWISE DRY CONDITIONS FROM SUN AFTERNOON INTO MONDAY
WITH SEASONABLE TEMPS. LOW PROBABILITY OF SOME OCEAN EFFECT SNOW
SHOWERS DEVELOPING OVER THE OUTER CAPE LATE SUN NIGHT INTO MONDAY
AS NEXT SHORTWAVE APPROACHES AND WINDS TURN N/NE.

TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...AS MENTIONED ABOVE WE ARE FOLLOWING
THE ECMWF SOLUTION WHICH MAINTAINS DRY CONDITIONS WITH MODERATING
TEMPS ABOVE NORMAL. HOWEVER...THERE IS STILL SOME UNCERTAINTY
ESPECIALLY ON WEDNESDAY AS THE GFS IS WET BUT WE THINK THIS IS TOO
PROGRESSIVE.

&&

.AVIATION /09Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
SHORT TERM...HIGH CONFIDENCE. VFR THROUGH THE PERIOD.
GUSTY WEST WINDS RETURN TODAY...WITH GUSTS UP TO 25 KT POSSIBLE AT
MOST TERMINALS.

KBOS TAF...HIGH CONFIDENCE IN TAF.

KBDL TAF...HIGH CONFIDENCE IN TAF.

OUTLOOK...SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY...

HIGH CONFIDENCE.  MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED. A PERIOD OF MVFR
IN LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS POSSIBLE LATE SAT NIGHT INTO SUN MORNING.
ALSO...MVFR IN OCEAN-EFFECT CLOUDS/FLURRIES POSSIBLE OVER THE
OUTER CAPE LATE SUN NIGHT AND MON MORNING.

&&

.MARINE...
HIGH CONFIDENCE IN THE OVERALL TRENDS THROUGH SATURDAY.

GALE WARNINGS HAVE BEEN POSTED FOR THE OUTER COASTAL WATERS. IT
STILL LOOKS LIKE A MARGINAL EVENT. THERE HAS BEEN A PERSISTENT
SIGNAL THOUGH OVER THE PAST 24 HOURS. DECIDED TO GO WITH JUST A
STRONG SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY IN NANTUCKET SOUND. WILL MENTION A FEW
GUSTS UP TO 35 KT...BUT THINKING MOST OF THE TIME GUSTS WILL BE
LESS THAN THAT.

ELSEWHERE ACROSS THE SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND COASTAL WATERS...WILL
HOIST A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY FOR THIS AFTERNOON INTO TONIGHT. IT
WILL BE CLOSE IN BOSTON HARBOR AND NARRAGANSETT BAY...BUT HAVE
CONFINED THE SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY TO JUST TODAY.

SOME REFINEMENTS BY THE NEXT SHIFT ARE POSSIBLE...MAINLY TO ADJUST
TIMING. NANTUCKET SOUND COULD ALSO BE UPGRADED TO A GALE WARNING.

OUTLOOK...SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY...

MODERATE TO HIGH CONFIDENCE.

SAT NIGHT...WINDS BECOMING LIGHT AS HIGH PRES BUILDS OVER THE
WATERS.

SUNDAY...SW WIND GUSTS MAY APPROACH 25 KT BUT MORE LIKELY TO
REMAIN BELOW SCA THRESHOLDS.

MON...SCA N WIND GUSTS POSSIBLE IN THE MORNING THEN DIMINISHING
WINDS.

LATE MON NIGHT INTO TUE...INCREASING SW WINDS WITH GUSTS NEAR 25
KT.
