Area forecast discussion, Oct 11, 1:48 AM EDT, 1 hour 55 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Boston/Norton MA
148 AM EDT Mon Oct 11 2021
.SYNOPSIS...
Southern New England is sandwich between an area of high and low
pressure this holiday weekend. Chance for showers across south coast
while drier to the north. A low probability of a shower or two on
Monday accompanied by mild temperatures approaching 70F. High
pressure returns and dominates much of the week ahead with dry
and mild conditions.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THIS MORNING/...
145 AM update...
Moderate to heavy rain continues to remain mainly offshore
early this morning. The exception is Nantucket, as well as areas
along the immediate south coast. But even then, the more
consistent moderate rain earlier has tapered off to scattered
light showers. Overall, forecast remains largely on track.
Expect the high to our north to continue suppressing the bulk of
the rain overnight.
Previous Discussion...
A coastal low pressure system sitting off the coast of Delaware
continues its journey towards the northeast. But a strong area
of high pressure over Nova Scotia, at 1030mb, continues to
suppress the system to the south. Between these to areas of
pressure is a tight pressure gradient across the south coast
which will enhance wind gusts through tonight. Wind is east to
northeast at 5 to 15 knots and gust 20 to 25 knots. The stronger
winds will be felt on the Islands, and south coast of RI and
MA.
Good news, the bulk of the rain should remain off shore and any
appreciable rain will be found along the immediate south coast, Cape
Cod, and the Islands. Generally rain totals are a few hundredths of
an inch along the I-95 corridor to a quarter of an inch for the
Islands. Areas of patchy fog/low stratus is likely across central
and western Massachusetts overnight and into early Monday morning.
Temperatures are mild once again as lows hold steady in the mid-50s
to low-60s overnight. For example, Boston's normal low is 50F and
it's forecast to reach 59F. Much of the area will feel similar
overnight "warmth". The coolest spots are the eastern slopes of the
Berkshires with lows around 50F.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM THIS MORNING THROUGH 6 PM TUESDAY/...
The coastal low will begin to decay as mid-level heights increase
starting on Monday morning. What remains of this area of low
pressure will slide off to the east while high pressure moves in
from the northeast. Best chance for a shower during the morning will
be areas south and east of Boston. But, given the easterly flow and
lingering moisture, we can't rule out a low probability of a light
shower Monday afternoon across the metro area of Boston. This
wouldn't be a washout by any means. Just expect plenty of cloud cover
throughout much of Monday with gradual clearing during the afternoon
hours.
Dew points and temperatures will be more noticeable too.
Temperatures aloft are in the neighborhood of +13C to +14C at 925mb
which should translate to afternoon highs in the upper 60s to 70F.
Monday evening into Monday night. Drier air aloft will begin to
filter into the low and mid levels, this will lead to partial
clearing. Lows early Tuesday morning are in the upper 40s to middle-
50s which is still about 5 degrees above the normal.
&&
.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Highlights
* Dry and quiet weather for much of the upcoming week with above
normal temperatures.
* Isolated showers possible across portions of the interior on
Wednesday. Next opportunity for more rain comes next weekend.
Details...
Tuesday through Friday...
High pressure ridging will dominate for most of the upcoming work
week. Early on we'll have a surface high centered over southern New
England on Tuesday with the mid level ridge axis directly overhead.
This keeps weather quiet with a fairly dry column (PWATs <1")
allowing for a good amount of sun and light winds. Low level flow
will slowly begin veering to the southeast then the south through
the day, moderating the airmass and warming temperatures a bit
compared to Monday, in the mid 70s.
Wednesday flow becomes southwest pushing temperatures even higher
above normal, into the mid to upper 70s. For perspective, the normal
high for this time of year would be in the low to mid 60s. Trends
have been drier for Wednesday as a weak shortwave and series of
fronts moves through. Moisture is limited and forcing is weak, so
most will stay dry. Any rain should be light and isolated in nature.
For the latter half of the week high pressure ridging returns
keeping things dry and temperatures holding steady in the mid to
upper 70s.
Saturday and Sunday...
The pattern looks to break down around next weekend as our next
shortwave approaches from the west. While rain chances are higher
for the weekend than the workweek, confidence remains low in any
location or timing details at this distance in time.
&&
.AVIATION /06Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
Low - less than 30 percent.
Moderate - 30 to 60 percent.
High - greater than 60 percent.
0540Z update...
Rest of tonight...Moderate confidence.
A mix of low VFR to MVFR conditions across most terminals,
except for LIFR at ORH. Scattered light showers possible for
terminals near and along the immediate south MA/RI coast. Patchy
fog could also develop during the pre-dawn hours, but should
dissipate shortly after daybreak. Easterly winds shifting to
the northeast at 5-10 knots. Gusts of 20-25 knots along and
south of the south coast.
Monday...High confidence in trends, but moderate in timing.
MVFR/IFR conditions early morning will gradually improver to VFR
by mid to late morning. MVFR could linger into the mid to late
afternoon across the interior high terrain and Cape terminals.
Winds are northeast 5 to 15 knots with occasional gust to 20
knots along the south coast.
KBOS Terminal...Moderate confidence in TAF.
KBDL Terminal...Moderate confidence in TAF.

and southeastern coastal waters for gusts up to 25 knots and seas
over 5 foot. SCA are expected to extend to the northeastern waters
Monday morning. A coastal low pressure system will weaken as it
moves northeast off of the Mid-Atlantic states and will bring
periods of rain.
Outlook /Tuesday Night through Friday/...
Tuesday: Winds less than 25 kt. Areas of seas approaching 5 ft.
Tuesday Night through Wednesday: Winds less than 25 kt. Seas
locally approaching 5 ft.
Wednesday Night through Friday: Winds less than 25 kt.
