Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Boston/Norton MA
424 PM EDT Sun Aug 4 2019

.SYNOPSIS...
A few showers and thunderstorms are possible across eastern New
England through early evening with the greatest risk across
southeast Massachusetts. Otherwise, dry and cool weather is
expected tonight.  Monday will be the pick of the week as high
pressure builds over the region providing dry, pleasant and
seasonable weather. A warm front will slowly push across the
region Tuesday, with the chance for showers and a few
thunderstorms across the interior. Temperatures and humidity
will increase through the remainder of the week, with a
continued threat for showers and thunderstorms. A cold front
will shift east late this week, bringing drier and less humid
conditions into next weekend.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 10 PM THIS EVENING/...

240 PM Update...

Mainly dry weather at mid afternoon other than a few spot
showers across western and central MA. This activity was being
driven by a shortwave/cold front moving across the region.
Overall...most of the region outside eastern New England will
remain dry into early this evening outside of a spot shower or
two.

We continue to focus on eastern New England for a few
thunderstorms late this afternoon and early evening. This is
especially true across southeast MA, where you can see the
intersection of the cold front and sea breeze boundary on radar.
SPC meso-analysis indicating 1500 J/KG of Cape in this region.
Many of the CAMs are focusing Bristol and Plymouth Counties onto
Cape Cod as the area most prime for a few thunderstorms late
this afternoon into early-mid evening. Given bulk effective
shear of 30 to 35 knots we can not rule out an isolated strong
to even severe thunderstorm with localized torrential rainfall.

&&

.SHORT TERM /10 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM MONDAY/...
Late Tonight...

Any remaining scattered shower/isolated thunderstorm activity
should exit the southeast new England coast by mid to late
evening behind the cold front. High pressure then builds in from
the west with drier low level air continuing to work into the
region. This will allow for cool/comfortable overnight low
temperatures. By daybreak Monday, low temperatures will bottom
out well down into the 50s in most locations with lower 60s in
the urban heat islands of Boston and Providence. Localized
patchy ground fog is possible late in the typically prone
locations, but do not expect anything widespread.

Monday...

Large high pressure will be in control of our weather to start
the work week. The result will be plenty of sunshine, light
winds, and very comfortable humidity levels. High temperatures
will be mainly in the lower to middle 80s.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...

Highlights...

* Slow moving warm front brings scattered showers and a few
  thunderstorms Monday night and Tuesday
* Unsettled conditions with increasing chances for showers and
  thunderstorms each afternoon and evening through mid week
* Cold front pushes offshore late this week bringing drier,
  cooler conditions into next weekend

Overview...

Broad H5 long wave trough lingers across the eastern states
through most of the long term period, while high amplitude H5
ridge builds across the eastern Rockies which will slowly shift
to the Plains states. Some model spread with evolution of H5
cutoff low shifting E out of the Great Lakes and western Quebec
late this week, with extending cold front moving along in the
increasing W-NW mid level steering flow. Colder air heads out of
central Canada, with an associated cold front crossing the
Great Lakes into the northeast late this week. At this point,
looks like dry conditions and somewhat cooler temperatures
arrive next weekend.

Details...

Monday night through Tuesday...

A warm front will slowly cross the region through Tuesday. 12Z
models showing some increased instability across the interior,
so have mentioned isolated thunderstorms during Tuesday, while
the threat for scattered showers will linger through this
timeframe. Dewpoints will increase as well, up to the lower-mid
60s Tuesday as S-SW winds increase, which will aid with the
increasing instability. Also noting increased low level lapse
rates. Weak low level winds, at 15 kt or less, may mean some
local heavy rainfall in any convection. Expect highs in the
lower-mid 80s for most areas, but cooler along the immediate S
coast and higher inland terrain.

Tuesday night through Friday night...

With the S-SW surface wind flow through around mid week, and
the mid level steering pattern becoming nearly zonal, a couple
of troughs or weak fronts push across the region which will
enhance the chances for showers/thunderstorms especially during
max daytime heating.

PWATs increase to 1.8 to 2 inches, so deep layer moisture will
allow for some heavy downpours in any precipitation, especially
during the daytime and early evening hours. Looks like the best
shot for the heavy rainfall may occur Wed/Wed night where QPF
amounts in the 0.5 to 1 inch range, mainly across the CT valley
into central areas, which will be enhanced with dewpoints rising
to around 70 on the SW winds.

H5 long wave trough slowly shifts eastward around the Thu
night/Fri timeframe but some timing issues ensue, with a cutoff
H5 low trying to dig the trough across New England late Fri as
depicted on the 12Z GFS, while it remains more open on the 12Z
EC though a bit slower to push east. In any event, will see
scattered showers/thunderstorms into Thu night, then the
instability slowly shifts E overnight into Fri as drier air
works in aloft. Will still see spotty showers linger on Friday,
then should taper off Fri night.

Temps on Tue/Wed will be in the upper 70s to lower 80s for most
areas, except the mid-upper 70s across the E slopes of the
Berkshires, then will fall back a few degrees late this week,
with readings in the mid 70s to lower 80s by Friday as winds
shift to W.

Saturday and Sunday...

12Z model suite in rather good agreement in pushing cold front
offshore early Saturday morning as high pressure shifts SE from
central Canada across to the central Great Lakes, then toward
the mid Atlc states Sunday. H85 temps will fall to +8C to +10C
Saturday, then rebound a bit on Sunday. So, expect dry
conditions through the weekend. Expect highs in the 70s with
some readings around 80 on Saturday. These readings will run
close to or a few degrees below seasonal normals.

&&

breezes developing along the coast.
