Area forecast discussion, May 24, 4:07 AM EDT, 23 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Boston/Norton MA
407 AM EDT Fri May 24 2019
.SYNOPSIS...
Windy and seasonable conditions today. Much of Saturday looks dry
with pleasant temperatures, but a fast moving disturbance will
probably bring a period of showers late Saturday into early Sunday.
The rest of Sunday into Memorial Day looks to be warm and mainly
dry. Showers and cool temperatures return Tuesday as a warm front
approaches from the south. Unsettled weather pattern lingers into
Thursday, but not a washout.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THIS MORNING/...
915 PM update...
Line of strong to severe storms along the cold front moving ESE
from central and eastern NY. Convection is firing within an
area of MUCAPES 500-1000 J/kg and 0-3km lapse rates 6.5-7 C/km.
Environment is much less favorable over New Eng. There will be
some elevated CAPE developing as the convection moves into SNE
but low level lapse rates are poor and surface instability is
nil so expect a weakening trend. 3km NAM handing the convection
reasonably well. Area of showers and sct t-storms expected to
sweep across SNE tonight, reaching NW MA 02-03z and rest of the
region 03-06z. A few strong storms are possible in NW MA but
activity will weaken as it approaches the coastal plain. Drying
trend overnight behind the cold front with partial clearing.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM THIS MORNING THROUGH 6 PM SATURDAY/...
Friday into Friday night ...
Breezy, seasonable, dry conditions. Potent shortwave and mid-level
H5 trof digs out towards SE Canada promoting further cyclogenesis
that along the backside of which will amplify the low-level wind
profile and promote steep lapse rates to H8. Moisture lingering,
one of two things: 1.) Some light shower activity is possible
along E-coastal MA, and 2.) All of S New England will see breezy
N winds with gusts up as high as 40 mph but below WIND ADVISORY
thresholds. Scattered to broken cloud decks, more than likely
thicker further E. Highs around the upper 60s during the day.
Both clouds and winds dissipate going into the evening and
overnight, but lingering enough to limit radiational cooling.
Lows down into the 40s.
&&
.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
Highlights...
* Period of showers Sat night, lingering into early Sun Cape/Islands
* Warm and mainly dry Sun/Mon with 80s Sun away from south coast
* Cool and potentially wet Tue
* Showery pattern may persist into Thu but not a washout
Overview...
Overall pattern features SNE on northern periphery of strong SE
CONUS subtropical ridge. As such, we will be vulnerable to
shortwaves and fronts moving through the region with periods of
showers from time to time, but warm and dry periods as well. Temps
in the extended period will be changeable and dependent on where
boundaries set up. Forecast confidence diminishes by Wed/Thu due to
uncertainty with location of shortwaves moving over the ridge and
placement of boundaries. The ridge will get pushed to the east by
Thu as trough approaches from the Lakes.
Saturday night into Sunday...
Fast moving shortwave approaches Sat night and guidance is
indicating an instability burst developing at the nose of a low
level jet as low level theta-e ridge moves into the region. This
will lead to some showers moving into SNE and can't rule out a few t-
storms as marginal instability develops aloft. The showers may
linger into early Sun on the Cape/Islands, otherwise drying Sun with
westerly flow. Should see a fair amount of sunshine developing after
some early morning clouds, with warm temps. 925 mb temps around 20C
support highs in the low to mid 80s, except 70s along the south
coast. A weak cold front move into the region in the afternoon and
can't rule out an isolated t-storm as marginal instability develops
in the afternoon.
Monday...
Front is offshore with high pres building to the north leading to a
mostly sunny day. Cooler temps aloft Mon but still a warm day with
highs in the 70s and possibly 80 CT valley. Sea-breezes expected to
develop keeping coastal communities a bit cooler.
Tuesday...
Could be a wet and cool day as warm front approaches and gets jammed
up to the southwest with moist onshore flow and cool high pres to
the east. Numerous showers expected along with a few t-storms
possible as instability aloft develops. Temps may end up cooler than
forecast with potential for 50s in some locations if it's wet
with SE flow.
Wednesday into Thursday...
Low confidence for Wed. Earlier guidance was hinting at summer heat
moving into SNE for Wed but latest guidance has backed off on this
with boundary remaining near or south of New Eng. It all hinges on
positioning of shortwave riding over the ridge which models can't
resolve at this time range. It is still possible the front pushes
to the north with a hot day but this is very much uncertain and
temps could end up below normal.
Mid level trough approaches from the Lakes region Thu which will
lead to increasing risk of showers/t-storms. If the warm air doesn't
get in here for Wed, the approaching trough and cold front should
push warm temps into SNE for Thu with potential for 80s.
&&
.AVIATION /08Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
Forecaster Confidence Levels...
Low - less than 30 percent.
Moderate - 30 to 60 percent.
High - greater than 60 percent.
Short Term /through Saturday/...Moderate confidence.
915 PM update...
Timing of showers and sct t-storms 03-04z BDL/BAF/ORH and
BOS/PVD 04-05z, a bit faster than previous forecast suggested.
Previous discussion...
Mostly VFR across the region, though IFR with low ceilings
starting to move in along the south coast of RI and MA. Line of
thunderstorms out in western NY as of just before 00z will
quickly sweep southeast. Should be affecting BDL/BAF locations
about 02z, ORH about 03z and then BOS-PVD about 04z. Tried to
keep TEMPO groups to primary 2 hour window for the activity.
TSRA should be diminishing as things move across the region, so
kept mostly the "VCTS" aspect, and we can update later to better
indicate the details of the thunder portion. Expect IFR/MVFR
conditions as the showers push through. Some LLWS will persist
into the early overnight. A cold front will move through,
generally after 06z, with conditions improving to VFR area wide
by 12z. Gusty northwest surface winds tomorrow, with most TAF
locations seeing frequent gusts around 30kt from 15z through 20z
or so. Potential for isolated gusts near 40kt. Winds diminish
quickly Friday evening. VFR Friday night.
KBOS Terminal...Moderate confidence in TAF.
KBDL Terminal...Moderate confidence in TAF.
Outlook /Saturday Night through Tuesday/...
Saturday Night: Mainly MVFR, with areas VFR possible. Breezy.
SHRA likely, slight chance TSRA.
Sunday: Mainly VFR, with local MVFR possible. Breezy. Slight
chance SHRA, isolated TSRA.
Sunday Night through Monday Night: VFR.
Tuesday: Mainly MVFR, with areas VFR possible. Chance SHRA,
slight chance TSRA.
