Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Boston/Norton MA
201 PM EDT Tue May 10 2022

.SYNOPSIS...
Dry conditions with gusty northeast winds and cool temperatures
will continue today, with warmer temperatures farther across
interior Massachusetts and Connecticut. Wednesday will still be
cool across portions of eastern New England with some low
clouds, and even a few light showers/drizzle near the coast.
Summer-like warmth arrives Thursday/Friday and continues this
weekend with increasing humidity. The risk of showers will
increase this weekend into early next week, but a washout is not
expected.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 8 PM THIS EVENING/...

2 PM update...

Short wave trough beginning to move SW of the region, and taking
its rain shield out to sea. Thus, light rain/sprinkles departing
ACK/MVY. Mid/high clouds will continue to impact RI and
southeast MA thru early this afternoon, then full sunshine
returns for mid to late afternoon.

Elsewhere, large temperature spread continues across the region,
with NE winds off the cold ocean limiting highs to the 50s along
the coast, but mild inland with the CT River Valley around 70.

Elevated fire weather concerns continue away from the coast,
with minimum RH values 15-25 percent along with NE winds 15-25
mph.

&&

.SHORT TERM /8 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM WEDNESDAY/...

Tonight...

Winds will decouple away from the coast and with dry airmass in
place, temps will fall sharply tonight with lows ranging from
mid/upper 30s interior MA to low/mid 40s elsewhere. Gusty winds
will persist over Cape/Islands. Much of the guidance is
suggesting low level moisture from the ocean will begin to
rotate west and may back into the Cape/Islands bringing stratus
and potential for patchy drizzle.

Wednesday...

Not much change to the synoptic set up as persistent ocean
storm to the south rotates westward toward the Carolina coast.
NE flow continues but gusty winds will begin to subside as the
low level jet weakens. The main forecast challenge is
determining the westward extent of low clouds which will likely
impact the Cape/Islands where more clouds than sun anticipated
along with the risk of some patchy drizzle. It appears some of
these clouds may spill into SE MA, but still partial sunshine
expected with most sunshine farther inland. 925 mb temps are
warming but greatest influence of these warmer temps will be
felt in the CT valley where highs will likely reach mid 70s. 60s
elsewhere but cooling to the mid/upper 50s near the eastern MA
coast due to persistent NE flow.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...

Highlights...

* Mostly dry through the weekend though a few scattered showers are
  possible, especially Saturday and Sunday

* Summer-like warmth with highs in the upper 70s/80s Thu/Fri inland;
  60s along the immediate coast.

* Summer-like warmth continues this weekend with increasing
  humidity.

Details...

Temperatures...

The "front page headline" of this extended forecast period is a long
awaited shift into summer-like warmth thanks to an advancing surface
high pressure allowing an influx of warm air to work into the
region. Friday especially will see that warm air expand east into
eastern MA all the way to the coast as flow around the high backs to
the southwest. This airmass will be quite a bit above average, with
temperatures in the 70s and 80s. The even better news for those that
have been waiting for this change of fortune is that the warmth
sticks around for quite a while, even if it is saddled with some
increased humidity. Model soundings indicate mixing up to near 850
mb Friday where temps hover around 11-13C through the weekend until
a cold front swings through on Monday. This front will bring things
back close to normal, but still very mild compared to this past
weekend.

Precipitation...

Global guidance continues to advertise a mid level ridge advancing
into southern New England Thursday into the first half of the
weekend helping to keep things dry. At the same time a vertically
stacked low pressure system sinks into the southeast U.S., only to
eventually be lifted into the Great Lakes and eventually move over
our region Sun/Mon. This will increase the rain chances later
Saturday into Sunday but showers will be rather spotty and scattered
in nature, certainly not a washout. Next chance of some slightly
more widespread rain comes with the cold frontal passage on Monday.
Overall a rather benign pattern through next weekend.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Low - less than 30 percent.
Medium - 30 to 60 percent.
High - greater than 60 percent.

details.

MVFR/IFR stratus over the Cape/Islands may get into portions of
SE MA. The NW extent of lower cigs is uncertain. Patchy drizzle
Cape/Islands. VFR elsewhere. NE gusts 20-25 kt Cape/Islands
diminishing in the afternoon.

Wednesday night...Moderate confidence on trends but lower on exact
details.

MVFR/IFR likely over RI and southeast MA in patchy drizzle and

finally dropping below 20 kt in the afternoon. Rough seas
continue.

Saturday: Winds less than 25 kt. Seas up to 5 ft. Chance of

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
Continued gusty winds combined with the rather dry conditions
will result in elevated fire weather concerns again today away
from the eastern MA coast where minimum RH values will drop to
15-25 percent. Winds will gust to 20-30 mph.

&&

.BOX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
CT...None.
MA...None.
