MOVE BACK NORTH AS A WARM FRONT LATE TONIGHT INTO FRIDAY. A COLD
FRONT WILL FOLLOW FRIDAY AFTERNOON...THEN HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO
THE REGION FOR THE WEEKEND. LOW PRESSURE BRINGS ANOTHER PERIOD OF
RAIN DURING THE BEGINNING OF NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM FRIDAY MORNING/...

4 PM UPDATE ...

BIG TEMP DIFFERENCE ACROSS THE REGION THIS AFTERNOON WITH M50S
ACROSS THE CT RVR VLY RANGING DOWNWARD INTO THE U30S ACROSS EASTERN
MA INTO THE WORCESTER HILLS...THANKS TO LOW CLOUDS AND EAST WINDS
STREAMING OFF THE CHILLY OCEAN WATERS. ONCE BLYR COOLS WITH SUNSET
AND LOW LEVEL FLOW BECOMES SOUTHEAST...THINKING LOW CLOUDS
OVERSPREAD THE REMAINDER OF CT AND WESTERN-CENTRAL MA. DRY THRU
EARLY EVENING BUT THEN RISK OF LIGHT RAIN/DRIZZLE AND FOG LATER THIS
EVENING AS WARM FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE SOUTH. BETTER CHANCE OF
RAIN ARRIVES AFTER 06Z AND ESPECIALLY TOWARD 12Z ACROSS WESTERN
MA/CT AS MID LEVEL TROUGH AND ATTENDING SURFACE COLD FRONT
APPROACHES.

BIG TEMP DIFFERENCES TONIGHT AS SHALLOW COOL MARITIME AIR BECOMES
TRAPPED ACROSS INTERIOR MA. TEMPS SHOULD REMAIN ABOVE FREEZING SO
NOT EXPECTING ANY FREEZING RAIN/DRIZZLE. THEN ACROSS CT-RI AND
SOUTHEAST MA WARM SECTOR OVERSPREADS THE REGION TOWARD MORNING WITH
TEMPS JUMPING INTO THE 50S. GIVEN THIS WARM FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL BE
LIFTING NORTH INTO THE REGION ALONG WITH SHALLOW COOL AIR TRAPPED
ACROSS THE INTERIOR...TEMPS TONIGHT WERE DERIVED FROM THE HI RES
GUID DATASETS.

.SHORT TERM /6 AM FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...

400 PM UPDATE ...

FRIDAY ...

PRIMARY LOW TRACKS ACROSS THE ST LWRNC RVR VLY WITH TRAILING COLD
FRONT SWEEPING ACROSS SRN NEW ENG. MODEST SYNOPTIC SCALE LIFT AND
FRONTAL SCALE FORCING WITH THIS SYSTEM...HOWEVER IT WILL BE ACTING
ON AN AIRMASS WITH PWATS +3 SD ABOVE CLIMO. THUS A FEW PERIODS OF
EMBEDDED RAINFALL EXPECTED. ITS A PROGRESSIVE SYSTEM SO STORM TOTAL
RAINFALL REGIONWIDE IS ONLY 0.25 TO 0.50 INCHES. THUS NOT EXPECTING
ANY FLOOD ISSUES...JUST A BENEFICIAL RAINFALL. COULD SEE SOME HIGHER
ISOLATED TOTALS OF 0.75 TO 1.00 INCHES IF ELEVATED CONVECTION CAN
FIRE. TWO AREAS THIS MAY HAPPEN...1) IN THE MORNING OVER CT AND
WESTERN-CENTRAL MA IN PROXIMITY TO RRQ OF UPPER LEVEL JET PROVIDING
ENHANCED Q/G FORCING. 2)...OTHER AREA IS IN THE AFTERNOON OVER
SOUTHEAST MA INCLUDING CAPE COD AND THE ISLANDS WHERE SW LOW LEVEL
JET PROVIDES A WARM ANOMALY WITH STEEPENING LAPSE RATES ABOVE. THESE
TWO AREAS STAND THE BEST CHANCE FOR ELEVATED CONVECTION AND LOCALLY
HEAVY DOWNPOURS.

FAIRLY STRONG LOW LEVEL SW JET OF 55 TO 60 KT AT 925 MB. MODEL
SOUNDINGS ARE FAIRLY INVERTED SO MUCH OF THE WIND WILL REMAIN ALOFT.
HOWEVER IF HEAVY SHOWERS/ISOLATED T-STORM MATERIALIZE GUSTY WINDS
MAY REACH THE SURFACE VIA PRECIP DRAG. ALTHOUGH THIS SHOULD BE
ISOLATED AND NOT WIDESPREAD. THUS NO WIND HEADLINES AT THIS TIME.

DRYING TREND DURING THE AFTER FROM WEST TO EAST WITH THE FRONTAL
PASSAGE. HOWEVER MODELS SUGGEST LOTS OF POST FRONTAL STRATO-CU SO
WHILE CONDITIONS DRY OUT NOT CONFIDENCE WE WILL SEE LOTS OF
SUNSHINE. BEST CHANCE OF SEEING BREAKS OF SUN WILL BE ACROSS CT AND
WESTERN-CENTRAL MA FROM 21Z THRU SUNSET.

REGARDLESS OF CLOUD COVER WARM SECTOR OVERSPREADS THE ENTIRE REGION
WITH COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE NOT TIL 21Z-00Z. THIS WILL RESULT IN HIGHS
IN THE LOW TO MID 60S...COOLER ALONG SOUTH COAST WITH SW WINDS OFF
THE COOL OCEAN WATERS. NEVERTHELESS NORMAL HIGH TEMPS FOR 3/25 ARE
45-50...SO MUCH WARMER THAN NORMAL.

FRIDAY NIGHT ...

COLD FRONT MOVES OFFSHORE WITH POST FRONTAL AIRMASS OVERSPREADING
THE AREA. MUCH COOLER WITH LOWS DIPPING INTO THE 30S...FEELING MUCH
COOLER AFTER FRI/S AFTERNOON HIGHS IN THE 60S. ALSO BRISK N-NE WINDS
WILL OCCUR ALONG THE EASTERN MA COAST WITH 1028 MB HIGH SETTLING
OVER QUEBEC.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...

HIGHLIGHTS...

* DRY WEATHER EXPECTED FOR THE WEEKEND
* ANOTHER SYSTEM EARLY NEXT WEEK COULD BRING RAIN ON MON INTO TUE
* HIGH PRESSURE RETURNS WITH DRY WEATHER MID-WEEK

OVERVIEW...

12Z GUIDANCE IS IN GENERAL AGREEMENT FOR THIS PORTION OF THE
FORECAST.  SURFACE LOW WILL HEAD OFF TOWARDS THE MARITIMES ALLOWING
FOR GREAT LAKES HIGH PRESSURE TO BUILD OVER THE NORTHEAST RESULTING
IN MOSTLY DRY WEATHER.

CONFIDENCE CONTINUES TO BE LOW FOR EARLY NEXT WEEK. MODEL SPREAD IS
STILL ABOVE NORMAL GIVING THE ONGOING UNCERTAINTY OF EXACT INFLUENCE
OF NORTHERN STREAM FLOW ON THE SHORTWAVE ENERGY TRACKING EASTWARD
FROM THE PLAINS. THE 12Z DETERMINISTIC GFS CONTINUES TO TREND CLOSER
TO A ROBUST SURFACE LOW BUT IS STILL ON THE FASTER SIDE OF THE
GUIDANCE. THE GEFS CONTINUE TO TREND CLOSER TO THE EC ENSEMBLES THIS
RUN. THE EC IS STILL ON THE SLOWER SIDE OF THE ENVELOPE. CONTINUED
WITH A BLENDED THE FORECAST TOWARDS A NON GFS COMPROMISED RESULTING
IN PRECIP MOVING IN ON MONDAY EXITING BY TUESDAY. DRY WEATHER WILL
FOLLOW FOR THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.

DAILIES...

SATURDAY AND SUNDAY...

HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD OVER THE REGION BEGINNING ON SATURDAY
RESULTING IN EASTERLY FLOW ACROSS THE REGION. THIS ONSHORE FLOW WILL
RESULT IN COOLER TEMPS ALONG THE MASS EAST COASTLINE AS WELL AS A
GOOD AMOUNT OF STRATUS. THIS IS SEEN WITHIN MODEL CROSS-SECTIONS. SO
ANOTHER DAY OF VARIABLE TEMPS WITH THE CT VALLEY REACHING CLOSE TO
55F WHERE BOSTON AND THE CAPE MAY STRUGGLE TO REACH 40F THANKS TO
THE COOLER OCEAN TEMPS. THERE IS A LOW PROBABILITY OF SOME DRIZZLE
WITHIN THE STRATUS DECK BUT HAVE A LOW CONFIDENCE IF IT WILL OCCUR.
WILL WAIT TO SEE HI-RES GUIDANCE BEFORE INSERTING INTO THE FORECAST.

HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL BEGIN TO MORE TOWARDS THE MARITIMES ON
SUNDAY. THIS WILL SLOWLY SWITCH THE WINDS TO A MORE SOUTHERLY
DIRECTION. LOCATIONS OUT WEST WILL BE ABOVE AVERAGE WITH TEMPS
REACHING CLOSE TO 60F. HOWEVER MARITIME AIR WILL TAKE ITS TIME
DISSIPATING ACROSS MASS EAST COASTLINE SO TEMPS COULD REBOUND MUCH
LATER IN THE DAY AND STAY IN THE LOW 50S.

MONDAY INTO TUESDAY...

NEXT LOW PRES SYSTEM ARRIVES THE BEGINNING OF NEXT WEEK. THE ECMWF
CONTINUES TO BE SLOWER WHILE THE GFS IS QUICKER. THE UKMET SEEMS TO
BE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PACK. TRENDED THIS FORECAST BETWEEN
ENSEMBLES AND THE UKMET AS IT APPEARS THAT THE GFS IS TO QUICK
AND THE  EC IS TO SLOW. RIGHT NOW APPEARS TO BE A COOLER AND SOGGY
MONDAY INTO EARLY TUESDAY. CONTINUED TO MENTION CHC/LIKELY POPS FOR
MONDAY INTO TUESDAY UNTIL GUIDANCE COMES INTO BETTER AGREEMENT AS
THIS IS A LOW CONFIDENCE FORECAST. THERE IS A LOW PROB FOR SOME SNOW
ON THE BACK SIDE OF THIS SYSTEM AS COOLER AIR USHERS IN FROM THE
NORTH.

WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY...

CANADIAN HIGH BUILDS IN BEHIND THE FRONT AND REMAINS THRU THE MIDDLE
OF NEXT WEEK PRODUCING FAIR AND COOL WEATHER.
