WILL MOVE THROUGH NEW ENGLAND ON SUNDAY BRINGING SCATTERED SHOWERS
AND TSTMS. THE AIR DRIES OUT FOR THE FIRST HALF OF THE WEEK.
ANOTHER COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE REGION WEDNESDAY NIGHT
AND THURSDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SUNDAY MORNING/...
WARM AND VERY HUMID AIR ACROSS THE REGION WITH DEWPOINTS IN THE
LOW TO MID 70S. VERY HIGH FREEZING LEVELS...AROUND 16K FEET. GENERALLY
LIGHT WINDS THROUGH THE LOWEST MILE OF THE ATMOSPHERE WITH A 1722Z
AMDAR SOUNDING FROM BDL SHOWING THE LOWEST 40 KNOT WIND AROUND
19000 FEET.

STRONG HEATING OF THIS AIRMASS DURING THE DAY GENERATED SBCAPES OF
2500 JOULES OVER CT WHICH FED A DEVELOPING LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS.
THAT LINE THEN MOVED SOUTHEAST INTO RI.

MORE FAVORABLE WINDS ALOFT WERE MOVING ACROSS THE EASTERN GREAT
LAKES DURING THE AFTERNOON...AND SHOULD REACH NEW ENGLAND 00Z TO
06Z. MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES INCREASE TO MARGINALLY SUPPORTIVE
LEVELS. THUNDERSTORMS ARE CURRENTLY FIRING OVER THE EASTERN GREAT
LAKES MID AFTERNOON...AND SHOULD ENTER WESTERN NEW ENGLAND AROUND
02Z. CONDITIONS LOOK FAVORABLE TO SUPPORT THESE STORMS ACROSS
NY/PA. WILL GO WITH LIKELY POPS IN OUR SOUTH AREAS AND CHANCE
POPS IN THE NORTH. PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES CONTINUE HIGH...WILL
MAINTAIN POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY RAIN ALONG WITH STRONG WIND GUSTS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SUNDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM SUNDAY/...

THE AFTERNOON. PRECIP WATER VALUES REMAIN AT OR ABOVE 2 INCHES.
WILL MAINTAIN CHANCE POPS...AND WORDING FOR STRONG WINDS AND
HEAVY RAIN.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
OVERALL...FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT AMONGST THE MODELS FOR THE LONG
TERM.  THE GFS IS A BIT QUICKER ON TIMING THEN THE ECMWF...THIS IS
FAIRLY NORMAL.  COOLER...LESS HUMID...AND MORE SEASONABLE WEATHER IS
EXPECTED THROUGH THE FIRST PART OF THE WEEK AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS
IN.  A COLD FRONT IS POSSIBLE MIDWEEK AS LOW PRESSURE MOVES ACROSS
SOUTHERN CANADA BRINGING ANOTHER CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS TO SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND.

SUNDAY NIGHT...A RETURN TO NORTHWEST FLOW WILL BRING DRIER AIR INTO
THE REGION.  SKIES SHOULD CLEAR OUT WITH LOWS RANGING FROM THE UPPER
50S IN THE NORTHWESTERN ZONES TO UPPER 60S IN THE URBAN CENTERS.
NAM INDICATES THE POSSIBILITY OF AN MCS EITHER TO THE NORTH OR SOUTH
OF US...OR POSSIBLY BOTH.  HOWEVER...THE GFS AND ECMWF SHOW NO SUCH
THING SO WILL LEAVE POPS OUT FOR NOW.  WILL HAVE TO WATCH THIS OVER
THE NEXT 24 HOURS.

MONDAY AND TUESDAY...A BRIEF PERIOD OF SHORTWAVE RIDGING WILL BRING
MORE SEASONABLE AND LESS HUMID WEATHER TO SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND.
HIGHS WILL BE IN THE LOW 80S WITH THE APPARENT /FEELS-LIKE/
TEMPERATURE VERY CLOSE TO OR EVEN SLIGHTLY BELOW THE ACTUAL
TEMPERATURE.

WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY...TIMING DISCREPANCIES IN THE MODELS
BECOME MORE APPARENT WITH A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM AND COLD FRONT
MOVING THROUGH SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND SOMETIME WEDNESDAY /GFS/ OR
THURSDAY /ECMWF/.  THIS WILL BRING A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS BACK TO THE REGION.

FRIDAY AND SATURDAY...HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS BACK INTO THE REGION ONCE
AGAIN BRINGING MORE SEASONABLE...LESS HUMID WEATHER.  THE GFS STARTS
TO BRING SOUTHWEST FLOW AND MORE HUMID WEATHER IN SATURDAY.  LOW
CONFIDENCE FORECAST OUT THIS FAR.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
THIS AFTERNOON...MAINLY MVFR CIGS ACROSS THE REGION. SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS WITH IFR VSBYS IN WESTERN MA AT 18Z WILL
SPREAD/DEVELOP EASTWARD AMD SOUTHWARD. HEAVY RAIN IN TSTMS.

CIG WEST AND IFR CIG ALONG THE SOUTH COAST IN AREAS OF FOG.
EXPECT AREA OF TSTMS TO INVADE FROM WEST TO EAST WITH FREQUENT
LIGHTNING...HEAVY RAIN...AND POSSIBLY SOME STORMS THAT ARE SEVERE
WITH DAMAGING WINDS. CT...RI...AND SE MA MAY SEE THE STRONGEST
STORMS AND HEAVIEST RAINFALL. VSBY MAY BE 1 MILE OR LESS IN TSTMS.

KBOS TERMINAL...VFR BUT MVFR CIGS AND IFR VSBY IN ANY
TSTMS...MAINLY AFTER 22Z. MVFR CIGS AND VSBY NEAR 3 MI IN FOG
DEVELOPING AROUND 06Z...BUT LOWERING IN SHOWERS AND TSTMS THROUGH
THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. WITH LIGHT SW WIND...FOG MAY NOT BE AS BAD AS

OUTLOOK...SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY...

SUNDAY NIGHT...MODERATE-HIGH CONFIDENCE.  MVFR BECOMING VFR QUICKLY
THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT.

MONDAY AND TUESDAY...HIGH CONFIDENCE VFR.
