Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Boston/Norton MA
204 PM EDT Mon May 14 2018

.SYNOPSIS...
Weak high pressure yields dry and seasonable weather today and
tonight. Some showers and thunderstorms are possible with a
frontal passage Tuesday. The front pushes south Wednesday with
a drying trend that develops from north to south and lingers
into Thursday. However another round of showers and
thunderstorms with locally heavy rain likely returns late Friday
into the weekend.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 7 PM THIS EVENING/...
155 PM update...

Clearing has developed across much of SNE. Some stratus may
impact the islands, otherwise abundant sunshine will prevail
for the rest of the afternoon. High temps expected to reach the
low/mid 70s away from the south coast. Temps mainly in the 60s
near the south coast where SW flow will keep it cooler. Also
sea breezes may also develop along the immediate east coast of
MA where cooler temps will prevail.

&&

.SHORT TERM /7 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM TUESDAY/...
Overnight...

The return flow experienced through the day continues to lead to
a slow rise in lower lvl dwpt values. With continued onshore
flow during the overnight hours, any offshore stratus and fog
should once again shift onshore. With dwpts in the low-mid 50s
by the afternoon for crossover temps, there is a risk for some
patches of dense fog as this marine layer shifts onshore. Best
chances are SE MA/RI. Otherwise, milder min temps, limited to
the mid and upper 50s. Will need to monitor upstream convection,
as early AM lapse rates will steepen, potentially allowing for
early AM convection to fire to the W and move into S New
England. It's a low risk but something to watch. This supports
previous forecasters thinking.

Tue...

Weakening cold front timing is now generally well agreed upon
between deterministic guidance, bringing it into S New England
during the mid day-evening time frame. Once again, early AM
convection or remnants may limit this, but the timing of this
front does allow for afternoon destabilization, especially as
guidance supports low lvl moisture pooling, with PWATS
potentially above 1.75in (nearly 3 std deviations above normal)
and sfc dwpts reach the mid 60s even with mixing.

With a focus for lift in the front, and mid lvl lapse rates of
6.0-6.5C/km and low lvl moisture yielding MU CAPE values between
1000-1500j/kg per latest GEFS/SREF plumes. This is coincident
with 40+ kt of 0-3km bulk shear during the mid day-evening
time frame. Therefore, assuming the early convection or remnants
thereof do not limit the destabilization, there is a risk for
thunderstorms, and given the high shear and modest CAPE. Severe
weather is possible as well.

Given the shear is strong but uni-directional, clustered storms
are the supported mode, with a risk for strong winds. The high
pwats and warm cloud layers greater thank 10kft support HPE
with a risk for heavy rain. Corfidi vector magnitudes are rather
high, however, so the storms should remain relatively
progressive.

Overall something to watch for Tuesday, with a particular focus
along or S of the Mass Pike given current timing. However,
portions of SE MA and RI may be limited by the onshore flow and
marine layer influence.

With some sunshine, temps could approach 80 across the interior
as H85 temps warm to an average of +14C.

&&

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

* Scattered Showers and T-storms with locally heavy rain and
  gusty winds Tuesday evening

* Drying trend develops Wed from north to south and likely continues
  into Thu

* Showers and T-storms likely return late Fri into next weekend
  along with the risk for heavy rain/tropical downpours

Tuesday night...

Scattered showers and thunderstorms likely Tue evening and short
wave and attending surface front sweep across the region. With
surface dew pts in the mid 60s along with PWATs approaching 2 inches
locally heavy rainfall is possible. In addition, given strong wind
fields aloft and marginal instability a few strong T-storms are
possible in the early evening.

Wednesday...

Models differ on timing of frontal passage given upstream jet energy
and possible secondary wave development on the front, delaying its
seaward push. Thus risk for showers Wed morning with highest
probability south coast. Then the threat of rain diminishing in the
afternoon from north to south. Much cooler behind the front as post
frontal airmass will feature easterly flow off the chilly ocean.
Thus highs only in the mid to upper 50s across eastern MA, gradually
warming westward into the upper 60s in the CT river valley.

Thursday...

Good model agreement among ensembles and deterministic guidance that
boundary will shift far enough south for deep layer dry air to
overspread the area from north to south. Thus expectation is for
mainly dry weather and could turn out to be a fairly nice day.
Warmer than Wed as blyr winds become west ahead of next northern
stream trough and associated surface front approaching from the
northwest. This results in temps jumping back into the 70s to
perhaps 80 degs in the CT river valley.

Friday/Saturday/Sunday...

Ensembles and deterministic guidance beginning to converge on Low
pressure currently over the Gulf of Mexico taking on tropical
characteristics and moving up the eastern Seaboard late Fri into
next weekend. 850 mb and 925 mb southerly wind anomalies on the
order of +1 to +2 standard deviations along the eastern seaboard,
which advects a tropical airmass with PWATs increasing to +3
standard deviations above climo ontop of SNE next weekend. This is
impressive for model guidance at this time range, indicating good
ensemble clustering. Thus risk for at least scattered showers and
thunderstorms with tropical downpours.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
Forecaster Confidence Levels...

Low - less than 30 percent.
Moderate - 30 to 60 percent.
High - greater than 60 percent.

Short Term /through Tuesday night/...

Through 00z...Mainly VFR with MVFR cigs at times over ACK.

Tonight...Moderate confidence.
IFR/LIFR stratus and fog expected to redevelop along the south
coast this evening. Lower cigs down to MVFR/IFR will spread
inland overnight.

Tuesday...Moderate confidence.
IFR stratus and fog will gradually dissipate and become VFR
through morning. Low cigs may linger over ACK. SW gusts to
25 kt developing by afternoon, especially in the coastal plain.
Scattered to numerous showers/t-storms expected to develop
across western MA by early afternoon and move to the coast by
evening. Lower cigs/vsbys along with heavy rain and strong winds
may accompany any t-storms.

Tuesday night...
Lingering showers and a few t-storms near the south coast in
the evening. Otherwise, IFR stratus and patchy fog possible over
the Cape/Islands with mainly VFR elsewhere.

KBOS Terminal...Moderate confidence in TAF. Sea breeze expected
to develop this afternoon. MVFR cigs expected late tonight with
low risk for brief IFR. Sct t-storms possible mid/late
afternoon Tue. Brief heavy rain and gusty winds possible.

KBDL Terminal...Moderate confidence in TAF. MVFR cigs expected
late tonight with moderate risk for brief IFR. Sct t-storms
possible by mid/late afternoon Tue. Brief heavy rain and gusty
winds possible.

Outlook /Wednesday through Friday/...Moderate confidence.

Wednesday: Mainly VFR, with areas MVFR possible. Breezy. Slight
chance SHRA.

Wednesday Night: Mainly VFR, with local IFR possible. Slight
chance SHRA.

Thursday: VFR.

Thursday Night: Mainly VFR, with local MVFR possible. Slight
chance SHRA.

Friday: Mainly VFR, with areas MVFR possible. Chance SHRA.

&&

.MARINE...
Forecaster Confidence Levels...

Low - less than 30 percent.
Moderate - 30 to 60 percent.
High - greater than 60 percent.

Short Term /through Tuesday/...

Through Tuesday night...High confidence.
Winds remain below 20 kt today and tonight out of the S and SW,
seas too remain below 5 ft. The primary issue today and tonight
is the risk for some lingering fog with reduced vsbys,
especially tonight.

W-SW flow may approach 25 kt near shore late Tue and the
persistent W-SW flow could lead to wind waves offshore 5 ft.
Will need to monitor for some small craft advisory conditions.
Also, afternoon/evening thunderstorms are also possible.

Outlook /Tuesday Night through Friday/...Moderate confidence.

Tuesday Night: Winds less than 25 kt. Areas of seas approaching
5 ft. Chance of rain showers, chance of thunderstorms, patchy
fog. Local visibility 1 to 3 nm.

Wednesday: Winds less than 25 kt. Seas up to 5 ft. Chance of
rain showers.

Wednesday Night: Winds less than 25 kt. Areas of seas
approaching 5 ft. Chance of rain showers.

Thursday: Winds less than 25 kt. Seas locally approaching 5 ft.

Thursday Night: Winds less than 25 kt. Areas of seas
approaching 5 ft. Slight chance of rain showers.

Friday: Winds less than 25 kt. Areas of seas approaching 5 ft.
Chance of rain showers.
