REMAINS ON TRACK.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
MID LEVEL MOISTURE FROM CLOSED LOW OVER SOUTH DAKOTA THIS MORNING
CONTINUES TO STREAM EAST-SOUTHEAST IN THE CONFLUENT FLOW OVER THE
GREAT LAKES INTO THE NORTHEAST. THIS WILL RESULT IN INCREASING MID
AND HIGH CLOUDS ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND AS THE DAY PROGRESSES.
ALTHOUGH LATE APRIL SUN ANGLE MAY BE HIGH ENOUGH TO YIELD AT LEAST
DIM SUNSHINE THRU THE CLOUD COVER.

REGARDING HIGH TEMPS THIS AFTERNOON...GIVEN SURFACE PRESSURES
ACROSS THE AREA ARE ONLY ABOUT 1015 MB...THIS PROMOTES A DEEP
BLYR WITH MDL SNDGS SUGGESTING MIXING TO 800 MB. THIS COMBINED
WITH 850 MB TEMPS AROUND +2C WILL SUPPORT HIGHS IN THE LOW TO MID
60S AWAY FROM COASTAL SEABREEZES. MAY HAVE TO SHAVE A FEW DEGS OFF
THESE HIGHS IF MID DECK OF CLOUDS REMAINS PERSISENT. SO OVERALL A
PLEASANT DAY BY LATE APRIL STANDARDS WITH DIM SUNSHINE THRU
MID/HIGH CLOUDS...LIGHT WINDS AND TEMPS IN THE LOW TO MID 60S AWAY
FROM THE IMMEDIATE COASTLINE.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM TUESDAY/...
*** MUCH NEEDED WIDESPREAD APPRECIABLE RAINFALL TUE ALONG WITH
MUCH COOLER THAN NORMAL TEMPS ***

AS CLOSED LOW OVER SOUTH DAKOTA BECOMES AN OPEN WAVE...LOW PRES
TRACKS FROM THE GREAT LAKES TONIGHT TO SOUTH OF THE NEW ENGLAND TUE.
MODEST PWAT PLUME TO WORK WITH AS ANOMALIES ARE ABOUT +1 STANDARD
DEVIATIONS ABOVE CLIMO. FAIRLY BAROCLINIC WAVE BY LATE APRIL
STANDARDS ALONG WITH MODEST FGEN. HOWEVER NAM AND GFS DIFFER ON
LOCATION AND MAGNITUDE OF FGEN WHICH IS TYPICAL AT THIS TIME RANGE.
NONETHELESS DEEP LAYER MOISTURE...SYNOPTIC SCALE LIFT AND FRONTAL
SCALE FORCING WILL YIELD A WIDESPREAD RAIN WITH APPRECIABLE QPF.

TIMING...DEEP LAYER OF DRY AIR CURRENTLY IN PLACE ACROSS SOUTHERN
NEW ENGLAND WILL LIKELY DELAY THE ONSET OF RAIN AROUND OR AFTER
MIDNIGHT TONIGHT. GFS AND ITS ENSEMBLES ARE ON THE FAST EDGE OF THE
GUID ENVELOPE WITH PRECIP ARRIVING AFTER 21Z TODAY ACROSS HFD-BAF.
WHILE THIS IS POSSIBLE ANY RAIN AFTER 21Z WILL BE VERY LIGHT AND
SPOTTY. HEAVIEST/STEADIEST RAINFALL OCCURS DURING THE DAY TUE. SOME
MODEL SPREAD/UNCERTAINTY ON DEPARTURE OF RAIN. GFS THE FASTEST WITH
PRECIP ENDING LATE TUE AFTN WITH REMAINDER OF GUID SUPPORTING TUE
EVENING OR OVERNIGHT.

PTYPE...DESPITE SUB FREEZING 925 MB AND 850 TEMPS ACROSS NORTHERN MA
LATER TUE...WARM LAYER ABOVE 850 MB WILL YIELD A COLD RAIN FOR THE
REGION. HOWEVER AS THIS WARM LAYER BEGINS TO ERODE LATER TUE RAIN
MAY MIX WITH SLEET AND/OR SNOW BEFORE ENDING ACROSS NORTHERN MA.
ANY BRIEF CHANGEOVER TO SLEET AND/OR SNOW WILL HINGE ON PRECIP
INTENSITY AND ASSOCIATED DIABATIC COOLING/MELTING. WILL NEED TO
WATCH THIS CLOSELY. YES...IT/S STILL APRIL IN NEW ENGLAND.

TEMPS...CHILLY AIRMASS ON POLEWARD SIDE OF THIS FRONTAL BOUNDARY.
COMBINATION OF PRECIP...LOW WETBULB TEMPS AND NORTHEAST WINDS WILL
YIELD TEMPS WELL BELOW NORMAL. THUS BLENDED IN THE COLDER MODEL 2
METER TEMPS AND THIS YIELDS HIGHS ONLY IN THE U30S FOR THE HIGHER
TERRAIN INCLUDING WORCESTER. NOT MUCH WARMER ELSEWHERE WITH HIGHS IN
THE 40S BUT FEELING COOLER ESPECIALLY EASTERN MA WITH NE WINDS 15-20
MPH OFF THE COOL OCEAN WATERS.

QPF...GIVEN EVENT IS STILL 36+ HRS AWAY FOLLOWED A MODEL BLEND WHICH
OFFERS 0.25 TO 0.75 INCHES. GEFS HAS 70% AND GREATER PROBS FOR 0.50
INCH OF QPF. IN ADDITION GEFS MEAN CENTERED AROUND 0.50 INCHES.
THUS APPRECIABLE RAINFALL EXPECTED HOWEVER DIFFICULT AT THIS TIME
RANGE TO PINPOINT EXACT LOCATION OF HEAVIER MESOSCALE RAIN BANDS.
IN ADDITION GFS AND NAM SUGGEST SOME UPSLOPE ENHANCEMENT POSSIBLE
TUE MORNING ACROSS THE EAST SLOPES OF THE BERKSHIRES INTO NORTHWEST
HARTFORD COUNTY. NEVERTHELESS BENEFICIAL RAINS FOR THE ENTIRE REGION.

THUNDER POTENTIAL...WITH FRONTAL WAVE TRACKING SOUTH OF NEW ENGLAND
WARM SECTOR WILL REMAIN OFFSHORE. HOWEVER MARGINAL ELEVATED
INSTABILITY ACROSS THE SOUTH COAST. THUS HAVE KEPT SLIGHT CHANCE OF
THUNDER FROM PREVIOUS FORECAST BUT CONFINED TO SOUTH COAST INCLUDING
CAPE COD AND THE ISLANDS.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
OVERVIEW...

H5 CUTOFF LOW PRESSURE/COLD POOL WILL CONTINUE TO LINGER ACROSS
NORTHERN QUEBEC AND LABRADOR THROUGH THE LATTER PORTIONS OF THE
WORK WEEK...KEEPING THE REGION IN A W-NW CYCLONIC WIND FLOW. A
COUPLE OF SHORT WAVES WILL EJECT OUT OF THE UPPER PLAINS...PUSHING
QUICKLY ACROSS THE REGION...FIRST LATE TUE NIGHT INTO WED...THEN
A SECOND FRI INTO SAT. LOWERED H5 HEIGHTS WILL KEEP TEMPERATURES
GENERALLY NEAR OR JUST BELOW SEASONAL LEVELS.

THE CANADIAN CUTOFF UPPER LOW LOOKS TO SLOWLY EXIT TO GREENLAND
BY THIS WEEKEND...BUT THE W-NW FLOW WILL LINGER. LARGE HIGH PRES
OUT OF CENTRAL CANADA WILL EXPAND INTO THE NORTHEAST...BRINGING
DRY AND NEAR SEASONABLE CONDITIONS FOR THE UPCOMING WEEKEND. SOME
QUESTIONS ABOUT A SOUTHERN STREAM SYSTEM THAT MAY PUSH FAR ENOUGH
N TO BRING SOME PRECIPITATION LATE THIS WEEKEND...BUT TIMING IS
VERY MUCH IN QUESTION.

DETAILS...

TUESDAY NIGHT...
LEFTOVER SHOWERS WILL PUSH OFF THE S COAST TUE EVENING AS NOSE OF
HIGH PRES RIDGE BUILDS SE OUT OF N NY/CENTRAL CANADA. MOST OF THE
SHOWERS SHOULD BE OFFSHORE BY MIDNIGHT...BUT A FEW MAY LINGER
ACROSS S COASTAL AREAS A FEW HOURS LONGER. MIGHT SEE A FEW SPOTTY
LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS OR EVEN A LITTLE SLEET AS THE PRECIP ENDS
ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN OF N CENTRAL AND W MA...BUT THIS WILL
NOT LAST LONG.

LEFTOVER GUSTS UP TO 20-25 MPH ALONG THE S COAST WILL DIMINISH
TUE EVENING. OTHERWISE...EXPECT SKIES TO BECOME PARTLY CLOUDY
ACROSS MOST AREAS...WITH MORE CLOUDS LINGERING ALONG THE S COAST
INTO THE PRE DAWN HOURS BEFORE MOVING OFFSHORE.

AS COLDER AIR FILTERS IN...TEMPS WILL FALL BACK TO THE 30S...AND
MIGHT EVEN SEE SOME READINGS IN THE UPPER 20S ACROSS THE HIGHER
INLAND TERRAIN. WILL HAVE TO WATCH OUT FOR POSSIBLE FROST IN SOME
AREAS WHERE THE GROWING SEASON HAS ALREADY BEGUN...NAMELY PORTIONS
OF COASTAL ESSEX COUNTY AS WELL AS INTERIOR SE MA...N RI AND NE
CT.

WEDNESDAY...
HIGH PRESSURE RIDGING BUILDS ACROSS THE REGION SO WILL SEE DRY
CONDITIONS AND MAINLY SUNNY SKIES. LOCAL SEA BREEZES WILL LIKELY
DEVELOP DURING THE AFTERNOON. TEMPS WILL ONLY RISE TO THE TO THE
LOWER 50S ACROSS THE HIGHER INLAND TERRAIN AS WELL AS THE CAPE
AND ISLANDS...RANGING TO AROUND 60 ACROSS THE LOWER CT VALLEY.

SKIES WILL REMAIN MOSTLY CLEAR THROUGH MOST OF WED NIGHT...THEN
SOME CLOUDS WILL START TO WORK INTO N CENTRAL CT TOWARD DAYBREAK.
WITH LIGHT/VRBL WINDS...WILL SEE GOOD RADIATIONAL COOLING AGAIN
WITH DEWPTS LOWERING TO THE UPPER TEENS AND 20S AWAY FROM THE
COAST. MAY SEE TEMPS BOTTOM OUT AROUND 20 DEGREES ALONG THE E
SLOPES OF THE BERKSHIRES...RANGING TO THE LOWER-MID 30S ALONG THE
S COAST.

THURSDAY-FRIDAY...
WITH FAST MOVING FLOW ALOFT CONTINUING...WILL SEE ANOTHER H5
SHORT WAVE PUSH TOWARD THE REGION. SOME TIMING ISSUES AMONGST THE
00Z MODEL SUITE...BUT LOOKS LIKE THE NORTHERN EDGE OF PRECIP FROM
FAST MOVING LOW PRES PASSING S OF NEW ENGLAND WILL MOVE IN THU
AFTERNOON...WITH THE BEST CHANCE FOR SHOWERS ALONG THE S COAST THU
NIGHT. WINDS BECOME LIGHT E-NE...SO WILL NOT BE AS COLD THU NIGHT
SO EXPECT PRECIP TO BE MAINLY RAIN. KEPT LOW CHANCE GOING AT MOST.

THE LOW WILL PUSH OFFSHORE BY MID MORNING FRIDAY...THEN
CONDITIONS IMPROVE FROM N-S DURING THE DAY. TEMPS WILL RISE TO
NEAR SEASONABLE LEVELS...TOPPING OFF IN THE UPPER 50S TO MID
60S...EXCEPT REMAINING COOLER ALONG THE IMMEDIATE COAST.

SATURDAY-SUNDAY...
SOUTHERN EXTENT OF LARGE HIGH PRES BUILDS SE OUT OF CENTRAL
CANADA. MODELS TENDING TO KEEP DRY AND COOL CONDITIONS ACROSS THE
REGION THROUGH THE WEEKEND.

DO NOTE THE 00Z ECMWF BRINGS MOISTURE INTO THE REGION SUNDAY
NIGHT FROM A SOUTHERN STREAM LOW PRES CENTER ACROSS THE OHIO
VALLEY. LOW CONFIDENCE WITH THIS FEATURE THIS FAR OUT SO KEPT DRY
AND COOL CONDITIONS GOING FOR NOW.
