SYNOPSIS
A large cluster of showers and perhaps isolated thunderstorms move across the region Thursday morning with brief heavy rain. A second round of more scattered showers & thunderstorms cross the region Thursday evening.Unsettled conditions with periods of showers and thunderstorms Friday through Monday.

NEAR TERM /UNTIL 4 AM THIS MORNING/
1010 PM update...

Main challenge in the short term is how far inland stratus and fog gets. Patchy stratus is starting to develop along the south coast and will become more widespread here as BL cools with dewpoints in the low-mid 60s. With low level SW flow expect the stratus to advect north across the region and HRRR is indicating high probs of lower cigs expanding northward overnight. However, the low vsbys in fog should be mainly confined to the south coast given the SW flow. Overnight low temps should only drop into the 60s given the increasing clouds and higher dewpoints.

Leading edge of showers and t-storms moving into eastern PA and southern NJ. This activity may reach portions of CT and SW MA toward daybreak.

SHORT TERM /4 AM THIS MORNING THROUGH 6 PM FRIDAY/
* Large cluster of showers & perhaps iso t-storms and brief downpours Thu AM with the highest confidence across CT/RI & SE MA

* A second round of more scattered showers & t-storms Thu evening

Details...

Thursday and Thursday night...

Vigorous shortwave energy approaches from the west toward daybreak Thu. The amount of forcing should generate a large cluster/fairly widespread area of showers and perhaps isolated t-storms given showalter indices dropping near zero
In addition
Pwats on the order of 1.50 to 2" so expect some downpours with the activity as well. This activity should move fast enough to prevent any significant issues...but typical brief nuisance poor drainage street flooding is possible.

This cluster of activity should exit most of the region by early afternoon. We should see a lull in the activity for the rest of the afternoon...although it should remain cloudy in most locations with onshore flow. It is possible though a few breaks develop in the distant interior
Mainly skies will hold highs in the 70s
but might be near 80 in the lower elevations of western MA & CT.

The other concern will be a second round of more scattered showers & t-storms Thu evening...but not as widespread as what we are looking at during the morning. This is association with another shortwave and some leftover diurnal heating/instability. Surface instability of 1000+ J/KG may develop in the distant interior if we can muster a few breaks in the clouds. Mid level lapse rates are poor and the activity is not arriving until the evening will limit the severe weather potential with this activity
That being said
the HRRR does indicate some updraft helicity swaths and the CSU & HRRR Neural network machine learning probs do indicate a low risk for a few severe storms across the distant interior
In a nutshell
thinking the risk for severe weather is low but can not rule out a few strong to marginally severe storms in the distant interior
Overall
think this is a low risk but can not rule out a few strong to marginally severe storms across interior MA & CT Thu evening. Brief downpours are possible with this activity too. This activity may reach eastern MA & RI in a weakened form later Thu evening
Otherwise
drying trend after midnight with lows in the upper 50s to the middle 60s.

LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/
* Unsettled Friday through Sunday with several chances for rain and isolated Thunderstorms

* Pattern improvement delayed until early/mid next week as low pressure over southern Canada is displaced by building mid-level ridge

Friday...

Broad upper level low that has been slowly creeping towards New England from the northwest sets up shop over the Great Lakes/southern Canada by early Friday. Several shortwaves will rotate around the low, the first of which develops mid day Friday while somewhat of a seabreeze/back door coastal front drops south out of Maine. While the dynamics of the day don't look super impressive, thinking that some scattered showers and thunderstorms will be able to develop in the convergence zone of the two "forcing features" where some modest instability, ~600J/kg SBCAPE is present.
0-6km bulk shear also looks to be supportive of thunderstorm development, topping out around 60kt Friday afternoon! At present, this convergence zone appears to set up between Worcester and Boston along I-495, but may shift over the next 24 hours.

The limiting factors in storm coverage and strength are typical of southern New England with lackluster mid level lapse rates, less than 5C/km, and decreasing PWATs as surface cold front approaches from the west; PWATs drop from near 1.8" early Friday to 1". So, while the severe potential remains very low, cant rule out some solid downpours and gusty winds Friday afternoon.

Overall, should see a mix of sun and showers with a moderate mugginess to the air with dewpoints in the low and mid 60s the first half of the day.

Saturday and Sunday...

Unsettled conditions continue Saturday and Sunday, though neither day appears to be a washout with a few more shortwaves rotating around the persistent upper level low.

Saturday looks to be the drier of the two days as PWATs fall to around 0.8" behind surface cold front that passes through overnight.
Guidance is split on the shower potential, with more coarse resolution global guidance, like the GFS, trending towards a drier day and hi-res guidance like the NAM initiating more widespread shower activity Saturday afternoon. Dynamics appear to be more supportive of thunderstorms, compared to Friday, as mid level lapse rates increase to ~6C/km and low level lapse rates approach 8.5C/km, but instability appears to be quite poor, around 200J/kg.

PWATs surge back towards 1.25-1.4" early Sunday with a similar dynamic setup, which will yield more showers and isolated Thunderstorms compared to Saturday. Still, not expecting a washout, with a mix of sun and showers.

Early next week and beyond...

Very persistent mid level trough/low pressure over Canada, remains near stationary through early next week. Guidance shows stronger shortwave development in the Monday period that could bring a more substantial shot of QPF to the region, before a brief reprieve from unsettled conditions develops Tuesday/Wednesday with some indication that strong mid level ridging develops during that timeframe. While ridging looks robust, temperatures look seasonably mild rather than hot, with highs in the 80s.

AVIATION /06Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/
Forecast Confidence Levels:

Low - less than 30 percent.
Moderate - 30 to 60 percent.
High - greater than 60 percent.

06z TAF Update...

Through 12z...

IFR-LIFR cigs expanding northward across SNE. Showers and isolated thunder overspreading portions of SW MA, N CT and RI 09-12z.

Today...Moderate confidence.

Widespread IFR-LIFR conditions. Numerous showers will be overspreading the region this morning and exiting Cape Cod early this afternoon. Isolated thunder and locally heavy rain possible near the south coast. A second round of scattered showers & t-storms with locally heavy rainfall will impact interior MA into CT late this afternoon. SE-S wind 5-15 kt.

Tonight...Moderate confidence.

Scattered showers & t-storms will weaken as they move into the coastal plain this evening, then drying out overnight. IFR-LIFR conditions in the evening may improve to VFR from W to E 06-12z, but stratus and patchy fog persisting across eastern MA.
Light to calm wind.

Friday...Moderate confidence.

Any lingering stratus will burn off in the morning, otherwise VFR. Scattered showers developing in the afternoon. SW wind 5-15 kt, with sea-breezes developing along the coast.

KBOS TAF...Moderate confidence. Deteriorating cigs to IFR with LIFR possible. Showers develop this morning, but thunder chances have diminished as best chance will be closer to the south coast.

KBDL TAF...Moderate confidence. Deteriorating cigs to IFR as showers develop 11-15z with low risk for a t-storm, but better chance near the south coast. Improving to MVFR this afternoon with additional showers/t-storms possible late this afternoon.

Outlook /Friday Night through Monday/...

Friday Night: VFR. Slight chance SHRA.

Saturday: VFR. Breezy. Chance SHRA, isolated TSRA.

Saturday Night: VFR. Slight chance SHRA, isolated TSRA.

Sunday: VFR. Breezy. Chance SHRA, isolated TSRA.

Sunday Night: VFR. Slight chance SHRA, isolated TSRA.

Monday: VFR. Slight chance SHRA.

MARINE
Forecaster Confidence Levels:

Low - less than 30 percent.
Medium - 30 to 60 percent.
High - greater than 60 percent.

Tonight through Thursday night...Moderate Confidence.

Southerly winds of 10 to 15 knots will persist tonight into Thu before shifting to more of the SE across the northern waters.
However...S-SW winds will persist across the southern waters into Thu night. This long S-SW fetch will build seas to around 5 feet across our southern outer-waters and we may see gusts on the order of 20 to perhaps up to 25 knots
Therefore
have hoisted small craft headlines for our southern waters Thu afternoon and night. The other concern for mariners will be areas of fog developing especially late tonight into Thu morning. A cluster of showers & perhaps isolated t-storms will cross the region Thu morning into the early afternoon.

Outlook /Friday Night through Monday/...

Friday: Winds less than 25 kt. Areas of seas approaching 5 ft.
Slight chance of rain showers, isolated thunderstorms.

Friday Night: Winds less than 25 kt. Areas of seas approaching 5 ft.

Saturday: Winds less than 25 kt. Areas of seas approaching 5 ft. Slight chance of rain showers, isolated thunderstorms.

Saturday Night: Winds less than 25 kt. Areas of seas approaching 5 ft.

Sunday through Sunday Night: Winds less than 25 kt. Areas of seas approaching 5 ft. Slight chance of rain showers, isolated thunderstorms.

Monday: Winds less than 25 kt. Seas locally approaching 5 ft.
Slight chance of rain showers.

BOX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES
CT...None.
MA...None.
RI...None.
MARINE...Small Craft Advisory from 2 PM this afternoon to 8 AM EDT Friday for ANZ254>256.
