SYNOPSIS
High pressure continues to move over New England keeping the region dry. Low chance for showers Sunday night with a weak shortwave passing over the region. High pressure brings warm and dry weather through the middle of next week, then the weather pattern becomes unsettled toward the end of the week as a frontal system approaches from the west.
NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/
Surface high pressure centered near Bermuda continues the stretch of wonderful weather across the region. Another warm and mainly sunny day, very similar to Saturday, but do look for clouds to return from west to east later this afternoon ahead of an approaching weak shortwave. Given the similar setup, today's high temperatures should be similar to Saturday, highs return to the lower and middle 80s. Do expect a seabreeze to develop once again mid morning, leading to onshore flow along the coast, the immediate coast likely few degrees cooler in the middle and upper 70s. But all around a great day.
SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM MONDAY/
Tonight: As mentioned above, a weak shortwave cuts across the area with the focus on any spot showers in far southwest CT and western MA. Think there is enough dry air near the surface that these will be very light or virga, capped the POPs at 24 percent, leading to a "Slight Chance". The increased cloud cover and the light westerly wind keep temperatures in the low 60s, a few spots in northern MA settle into the upper 50s.
Monday: High pressure still in control, a secondary high over the Gulf of Maine shifts north into Quebec and 500mb heights increasing as ridging redevelops over the northeast. There could be weak shortwave energy moving down from the north, likely only adding some clouds, but would not be shocked if there were an isolated brief shower, with PWATS around 0.8". Did introduce a few area of "Slight Chance" showers, 15-20 percent, across the CWA Tough to say exactly where these will pop-up, but at the end of the day, not anticipating any adverse weather. Still fairly warm, highs return to the low and middle 80s despite an easterly wind. That said, the immediate coast of eastern MA will have highs in the middle 70s, perhaps the lower 70s for the outer Cape.
LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/
Highlights:
* Tranquil and dry weather Mon thru Wed with mild temps inland, cooler near the coast.
* Increasing threat of rain/t-storms late in the week and early weekend - timing still a bit unclear.
Details:
Overall tranquil weather conditions through at least Wed looks to be on tap for Southern New England based on the 12z global ensembles.
High pressure over the Gulf of Maine looks to bring a couple days of onshore flow near the coast for Mon and Tue, perhaps with scattered low clouds near the immediate coast. Full sun inland with temps being considerably warmer (e.g. lower to mid 80s inland, vs upper 60s/lower 70s coastal areas). 500 mb heights then start to rise Tue into Wed with SWly flow developing at sfc, favoring more widespread upper 70s to lower 80s.
Pattern change toward more unsettled weather then develops around Thurs into late week/early weekend. 500 mb ridging weakens and shifts eastward, to be replaced by pretty strong 500 mb height falls associated with an anomalous closed upper low located over the Gt Lakes region as we move into Fri which stays more or less in place into Sat. A frontal system is expected to move across Southern New England, and while the exact timing is still a bit unclear and sensitive to how quickly the 500 mb ridge breaks down, felt NBM PoPs into the solid Chance range Wed night through the first part of Thurs were a bit too aggressive given the rather amplified pattern.
Reduced these favoring a drier Thurs, although PoPs then increase more significantly into Thurs night into Fri following loose consensus in the individual global models. Thus late in the week looks to be our next chance for showers or t-storms, and while 925- 850 mb temps favor warmer temps than indicated, more cloud cover around should keep highs in the 70s although with a bit of an uptick in humidity level.
