Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Boston/Norton MA
802 PM EDT Sun Mar 29 2020

.SYNOPSIS...
Pattern not changing much tonight into Monday as a secondary low
pressure lingers just east of Cape Cod and Nantucket. This will
lock in the clouds and continue a risk for showers or drizzle.
This low pressure should finally depart Monday night into
Tuesday. Variable cloudiness and seasonably cooler weather for
Tuesday into Wednesday. Though a midweek coastal low is looking
more likely to stay away from Southern New England, wrap-around
moisture from it will bring increasing clouds and periods of
showers by late week. Moderating temperatures for the weekend,
with the next cold front either late Saturday or Sunday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM MONDAY MORNING/...
730 PM Update:

Feeling the effects of increasing upper-level support from the
approaching trough, and in conjunction with elevated instability
(mid-level lapse rates around 6-6.5 C/km producing a narrow
ribbon of MUCAPEs < 500 J/kg), heavy showers and thunderstorms
have again blossomed over the Berkshires into the Pioneer Valley
and into northern Worcester County. These showers and storms
are rooted above chilly and very stable low-levels, moving to
the northeast at a fairly fast clip (60 mph). Given the elevated
weak instability, generally expecting these storms to mainly
produce occasional lightning and heavy rains, though in a
worst-case stronger cell, small hail between pea to half-inch
size would be possible. The stable low-levels should mitigate
how much wind is transported to the surface. Severe weather
isn't expected, but the thunder could certainly startle some
people.

Did re-shape PoPs/Wx to bring isolated thunder mention at least
across a good part of western and central MA. Poor consistency
in the high-res CAMs makes for less confidence on if any storms
make it into the Boston-Providence corridor. At the moment,
appears the recent HRRR has the best handle on current activity,
with any thunder through midnight being north of the Mass Pike.
May need some adjustments to PoPs/Wx later, though did include
areas of drizzle/fog for the after-midnight portion of the
forecast.

No changes to temps which will not change much.

Previous discussion follows...

Secondary low pressure lingers east of Cape Cod and Nantucket
tonight. Expecting a lingering risk for showers or drizzle at
just about any time through this evening. Drier air moves in
aloft after midnight, ending most of the precipitation towards
CT and portions of the CT River Valley in MA.

Plenty of clouds sticking around, should mean temperatures
should not fall far. Still thinking above normal low
temperatures for the last day of March.

Some stronger showers/possible thunderstorms across the coastal
waters late this afternoon. Thinking this is about as far north
as any convection will get. Lapse rates are just too poor
farther north. In any case, any instability we do have will move
well off to the east by this evening.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM MONDAY MORNING THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
As the secondary low pressure gets a bit stronger and moves
slightly farther offshore, expecting winds to turn more
northerly. It will be a subtle, but important, detail. Winds a
shade more from the northeast are much more likely to lock in
low clouds and drizzle, while a shift of only 20 degrees more to
the north will permit some drying in the lower levels, meaning
less drizzle.

A decent cold pool moves over the Great Lakes tomorrow, which is
close enough to generate a diurnal shower risk, especially if
some breaks of sunshine can develop. As this cold pool moves
farther east later in the day into Monday night, could see some
wet snow develop across the higher terrain of the interior.
Little to no snow accumulation expected.

Expecting high temperatures Monday to be similar to today,
before colder air arrives Monday night. Near normal low
temperatures for Tuesday morning.

&&

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

* Cloudy and cooler than normal weather Tuesday into Wednesday.

* Monitoring track of a coastal low later Tuesday into Wednesday
  night, though a direct impact is looking less likely. Better
  chance for wrap-around showers central and eastern/coastal MA into
  RI Thursday into Friday.

* Moderating temperatures by the weekend, though a cold front brings
  a related threat for showers either Saturday or Sunday.

Details...

Tuesday:

Upper-level low will pull away into the waters south of Nova
Scotia on Tuesday. Pressure gradient between an offshore weak
cyclone and a high pressure wedge will continue to support a
cool onshore NE component, with winds at times across the outer
eastern/southeast waters gusting to near gale force at times.
Coverage of showers should dwindle into the afternoon as surface
ridge wedges southeast, with modest cool advection. All in all,
still a fairly unsettled day with a considerable amt of clouds
and highs in the low to mid 40s, coolest near the eastern MA
coast.

Tuesday Night through Wednesday Night:

Due to increasingly blocked mid/upper flow evolving over the
North Atlantic, the upper-level low over the Canadian Maritimes
retrogrades back across New England Tuesday night. Meanwhile, a
southern-stream trough over the central Appalachians and related
surface low will shift off the Carolina coast early Tuesday
night. This coastal storm remains progged to stay well south of
40 deg N latitude with little if any northward jog following
good consistency in the deterministic and ensemble guidance
across several model cycles. Given this, and now that the
southern-stream disturbance is entering the West Coast as of
this writing (and is becoming better sampled by the radiosonde
network), it appears less likely that Southern New England will
see any impact from this system. Have decreased PoPs to below
mentionable levels/dry forecast. Will be some wrap-around
moisture on an inverted trough that will affect our area
Thursday into Friday, however (to be described below).

So for Tuesday night through Wednesday night, while the pattern
is trending drier, expect a continued cooler than normal period
with still a fair amount of clouds as the retrograding upper low
and its cool pocket of air re-establishes itself. Highs on
Wednesday into the 40s (a spot 50 possible in the CT Valley into
Tolland County), coolest near the coast. Lows mainly in the 30s
each night, though may dip below freezing in northern MA.

Thursday into Friday Night:

12z guidance now indicates the best chance for any showers is
toward the latter part of the week, as an inverted trough trails
back across ME into Thursday, and shifts/builds southward
towards Southern New England later Thursday into Friday. Expect
a renewed increase in clouds areawide, and while some threat for
showers exists for many, the better chances are mainly across
east-central MA/northern RI eastward. Sided toward solid Chance
PoPs for the MA coastal plain eastward into the coastal waters,
with limited/slight chance shown further west into western MA
and northern CT.

Biggest source of uncertainty is regarding how quickly will the
inverted trough and related showers pivot SE and exit Southern
New England. The 12z ECMWF clears us out by Friday afternoon,
whereas the Canadian GEM and the GFS maintain lingering showers
even into Friday night. Did start to trend PoPs downward into
Friday night but with the blocky pattern upstream and at least
leftover troughiness hanging around into Friday night,
maintaining at least a slight chance shower mention.

Showed highs in the upper 40s to mid 50s Thursday, closer to
normal for this time of year. However, depending on how quickly
clouds/showers advance in on Thursday, it is possible that these
may be a bit too warm and may need to be lowered by a few
degrees. Similar highs for Friday. Lows each night in the mid
30s to lower 40s.

Saturday into Sunday:

Pattern starts to moderate into the weekend, with gradually
warming temperatures and shortwave ridging aloft supporting
less cloudy conditions.

Model guidance differs on when a cold front moves eastward
across our area. GFS and the Canadian are most progressive
(later Saturday) while the ECMWF is more into Sunday. Ensemble
means tend to support a later arrival, though will stick with
a general blend of models for this period.
