Area forecast discussion, Nov 26, 12:49 AM EST, 1 hour 42 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Boston/Norton MA 1249 AM EST Sun Nov 26 2023 .SYNOPSIS... High pressure supports a continued period of quiet weather through tomorrow evening. A coastal-low pressure system passes over southern New England tomorrow night into Monday with substantial rainfall. Rain chances then end by Monday afternoon. Blustery with below normal temperatures are then expected for midweek. Temperatures then gradually modify by late in the week, although they end up less below normal for the rest of the workweek. It is overall a dry week with our next chance for rain not appearing until late Friday or next weekend. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THIS MORNING/... 630 PM Update: Clear, calm, dry air and cold low-level temps are a recipe for strong radiational cooling and temps have really tanked now after sundown. The coolest locations might surprise you, in that it is across Cape Cod where the coldest readings are currently being observed. It's 24 degrees at Hyannis! Seems this is taking place as an elongated sfc ridge axis extends across southern CT into SE New England. Temperature guidance has really struggled with this degree of radiational cooling in most places and we should continue to see temps fall further. Tried to show that a bit more using the bias-corrected RGEM which seemed to be the coldest guidance source available. Dewpoints in the mid teens seem to be a lower limit to how far temps could fall. Tranquil and dry, but quite chilly with lows in the teens to mid 20s, except around 30 in and around the Greater Boston area. Previous discussion: Tonight Mid-level ridge axis builds overhead with surface high pressure tonight. Light southwest winds and mostly clear skies should support efficient radiational cooling that will support wide spread low temps in the upper teens/low 20s across the majority of southern New England overnight. The exception will be at locations with a closer proximity to the relatively warmer ocean temperatures where low temps will be closer to the mid to upper 20s. && .SHORT TERM /6 AM THIS MORNING THROUGH 6 PM MONDAY/... Tomorrow High pressure continues to build east of the region tomorrow. This will allow return flow from the south/southwest to gradually advect a warmer air mass over southern New England throughout the day tomorrow. Low-level WAA will be weak initially with 925 hPa temps only climbing a degree or two between tomorrow morning and tomorrow afternoon. The warmer air from the south overrunning the cooler air mass currently in place will allow for increasing mid-level cloudiness throughout the day tomorrow. While temps will be warmer than what is being observed this afternoon, the increased cloudiness will limit high temperatures to the mid to upper 40s across most of the region. A few locations along the south coast may experience an earlier arrival of the warmer air mass that could allow surface temps to approach 50 before peak diurnal heating early tomorrow afternoon. Winds gradually increasing out of the south/southeast into tomorrow evening as a coastal low approaches from the south. Tomorrow Night A robust mid-level short-wave moving over The Great Lakes will support the development of a coastal-low pressure system that will allow for substantial precipitation over southern New England tomorrow night. Confidence is higher than usual with this event given strong agreement among hi-res and global ensemble guidance. Very dry air mass in place should keep things dry until around Midnight when higher PWATs approaching 1 inch will provide enough low-level moisture to support rainfall. This system will be rather progressive and should be out of the area by early Monday afternoon. Before that happens, expect 0.75 to 1.25 inches of new rainfall across the region with the higher amounts focused along the south coast. Accumulations gradually drop off moving inland where confidence in rainfall amounts is much lower. Still some time to iron out these details over the next 24 hours or so. Check back for an update with tomorrow morning's forecast package. && .LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/... Highlights: * Rain chances end Mon aftn as cold front moves offshore. * Below normal temperatures with blustery conditions expected through much of the week, although temperatures gradually modify after Wed night. Single digit wind chills Tuesday night north and west of I-95! * Dry week overall, with our next chance for significant precip not until late Fri or Sat. Details: Cold front from Sunday night will continue to progress eastward and offshore on Mon, with decreasing PoP for rain showers and also decreasing cloudiness into the afternoon. However the main story in this portion of the forecast period is a shot of unseasonably cold air that invades into the Northeast, peaking Tue and Wed, associated with a deep upper level trough that establishes itself over the Northeast by midweek. Forecast low-level temps at 925 and 850 mb (e.g. 925 mb temps around -6 to -9C) in fact are more typical of early January than late November. The pattern gradually modifies for late in the week, but all in all, below normal temps are expected to close out the month. Outside of first half of Monday, it is overall a dry weather pattern with our next chance for significant precip not appearing until late Fri or Sat. Monday looks to be the warmest day of the stretch with highs upper 40s to mid 50s before temps begin to slide for Monday night behind the cold front. This initial cold advection heralds the arrival of much colder air that sets its sights on New England by Tue and Wed. Besides contributing to high temps in the 30s on Tue and Wed, the cold low level air will lead to good mixing potential, so should also have NW gusts around 25 to 30 mph accompanying that midweek colder air. Because of the breezes, it may keep nighttime lows from really plummeting hard with mid teens to low-mid 20s low temps Mon and Tue nights. However it won't feel that way as forecast nighttime wind chill temps are around 10 to 15 above zero Mon night/Tue and single digits above zero Tue night/early Wed in interior locales. Could need to consider Gale headlines due to the degree of anticipated gustiness during the Tue period. 925-850 mb thermal trough then shifts NE and offshore by Wed night, allowing for gradual modification to temps a little less below normal in mid 30s to mid 40s. Despite the colder air, it is overall a dry weather pattern. I wouldn't discount periods of enhanced cloudiness or even an occasional snow flurry with nil accumulation around western MA, due to an active Lake effect pattern for midweek. But too uncertain to make a mention of PoP in the forecast and any flurries would probably be more miss than hit. A shortwave disturbance coming out of the central Plains later Fri or Sat should be our next chance for precip but specifics on that are still too uncertain. && .AVIATION /06Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...

Tonight and Tomorrow High pressure supports relatively calm/tranquil conditions over the coastal waters through tomorrow with seas generally 1 to 3 feet and modest 5 knot southwest winds gradually increasing to 10 to 15 knots by late tomorrow afternoon out of the south east. Tomorrow Night Marine conditions deteriorate tomorrow night as a coastal-low pressure system moves over the coastal waters. 20 to 25 knot southeast wind gusts expected to develop over the south coastal waters with seas building to 4 to 6 feet. SCY headlines will likely be needed. Outlook /Monday Night through Thursday/... Monday: Low risk for Small Craft Advisory winds with local gusts up to 30 kt. Areas of rough seas. Chance of rain. Monday Night: Moderate risk for Small Craft Advisory winds with gusts up to 30 kt. Areas of rough seas. Tuesday: Strong winds with gusts up to 35 kt. Seas up to 5 ft. Slight chance of rain.
