Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Boston/Norton MA 1008 PM EDT Wed May 8 2024
SYNOPSIS
Another round of scattered showers and thunderstorms will move across the region this afternoon and this evening. Periods of unsettled weather continue late this week into this weekend with showers at times. Temperatures will average below normal late this week into the weekend. Milder/Seasonable temperatures should return early next week.
NEAR TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY/
10 PM update...
Showers and sct t-storms will be exiting the Cape/Islands during the next hour or so as the mid level shortwave moves to the east. Subsidence and drying behind the shortwave will result in dry conditions overnight. However, stratus and fog will linger into the overnight across eastern MA and Cape/Islands before clearing toward daybreak. Lows will be in the upper 40s and lower 50s.
SHORT TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH 6 PM THURSDAY/
Thursday starts out dry as a wedge of dry air remains in place over SNE. Moisture increases from the SW during the afternoon ahead of next shortwave dropping through the Great Lakes and OH valley, with low pressure moving to mid Atlantic region. Risk of showers will increase during the afternoon. Highs should be mostly in the 60s, mildest CT valley and coolest along the coast in eastern MA where developing NE flow will likely hold temps in the upper 50s here.
These showers will continue into Thursday night. With cloud cover and rain, temperatures across much of the area will remain in the middle and upper 40s.
LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/
Key Points...
* More widespread rain possible Friday into Saturday night
* Below average temperatures continue through the weekend
* More seasonable temps return next week
Friday
A shortwave trough exits out of the Ohio River Valley becoming negatively tilted as it moves over SNE. The surface low is initially vertically stacked with the shortwave aloft and begins to occlude as new low forms and intensifies offshore to the east. Although the best forcing will be to the south of SNE, the chances for a widespread rain are increasing. As a mid level low passes over and intensifies to the south of the region, this will drag down rather cold 850mb air around 0C to -2C. With ENE winds at the surface, along with cold 850mb temps, low clouds, and rain, high temps may struggle to even reach 50F across the region. Rain looks to continue into Friday night before tapering off Saturday morning. Overnight lows look to drop into the low 40s, with upper 30s possible in the high terrain. Not out of the question that snow mixes in with rain across the high terrain in the Berkshires.
Saturday
Surface and midlevel low move well out to sea bringing widespread rain to end in the morning. However, an upper level closed low drops south over the region leaving SNE under cyclonic flow aloft. With weak forcing aloft and the mid level cold pool still in place, this will likely lead to a hit or miss light showers/drizzle. High temps on Saturday don't look to recover much with thick low level cloud layer still around. High temps should only reach the low to mid 50s with continued onshore flow.
Sunday
Another weak surface low exits the Ohio River Valley and passes just south of SNE. This could bring another round of widespread light rain to the region. Uncertainty with this system remains high given the weak upper level forcing and not much run to run consistency on the track of the low. Highs remain below normal Sunday and could once again struggle to reach 50F.
Next week
The pesky upper level low and mid level cold pool finally move east as a midlevel shortwave brings WAA and 850mb temps above 0C to even +10C by mid week. This will allow high temps to moderate back into the low to mid 70s. As for rain chances, high pressure to the south should keep things dry early in the week. Rain chances look to increase again mid to late week, but uncertainty is high at this time.
AVIATION /02Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/
Forecast Confidence Levels:
Low - less than 30 percent.
Moderate - 30 to 60 percent.
High - greater than 60 percent.
18z TAF Update...
Stubborn RA/SHRA will continue over KBOS/KBED/KFMH and KHYA for the next hour or so before pushing offshore. Latest satellite showing broad clearing across western terminals so expect some brief improvement in cigs into early afternoon before any convective activity pushes into the area from eastern NYS.
Elsewhere for the eastern terminals, IFR conditions look to continue into the afternoon.
Today...Moderate confidence.
A round of scattered showers/t-storms remains possible 19-00z, with best chance from northern CT northward through interior MA.
Have maintained VCTS for all terminals given the low confidence in coverage. Some hail is possible with the afternoon/early evening activity. A period of SW gusts to 20 kt and pockets of LLWS possible this afternoon across SE MA and Cape/Islands as LLJ develops and moves across the region.
Tonight...Low to moderate confidence.
SHRA/TS exits into the waters early this evening. Some clearing is possible tonight for western MA/CT but stratus and patchy fog may linger across eastern MA and RI. Extent of IFR conditions is uncertain. Light winds.
Thursday...Moderate confidence.
A period of VFR/MVFR conditions after 12Z trending to widespread MVFR in the afternoon as more showers develop. N wind 5-15 kt becoming NE.
KBOS TAF...Moderate confidence in TAF. Scattered showers and possible t-storms redevelop to the north and west this afternoon and may move across BOS mid-late afternoon. IFR cigs look to remain at least through 09Z Thursday, possibly lasting into the morning push.
KBDL TAF...Moderate confidence in TAF. Another round of scattered showers or t-storm possible this afternoon and we have maintained the VCTS in the TAF given the uncertainty in coverage.
IFR cigs look to remain at least through 09Z Thursday, possibly lasting into the morning push.
Outlook /Thursday Night through Monday/...
Thursday Night: MVFR/IFR conditions possible. Breezy. Chance SHRA.
Friday through Friday Night: MVFR/IFR conditions possible.
Chance RA.
Saturday: MVFR/IFR conditions possible.
Saturday Night: Mainly VFR, with areas MVFR possible. Slight chance SHRA.
Sunday: Mainly VFR, with local MVFR possible. Chance RA.
MARINE
Forecaster Confidence Levels:
Low - less than 30 percent.
Medium - 30 to 60 percent.
High - greater than 60 percent.
Through Thursday...High confidence.
Low level jet will bring a period of SW gusts to 20+ kt to south coastal waters this afternoon and evening. Winds diminish tonight, becoming north by Thu morning then NE 10-20 kt during Thu afternoon. Seas remain below SCA thresholds. Areas of fog will reduce vsbys at times over south coastal waters through tonight. Scattered showers and embedded t-storms move through this morning into early afternoon.
Outlook /Thursday Night through Monday/...
Thursday Night: Winds less than 25 kt. Areas of seas approaching 5 ft. Chance of rain showers.
Friday through Friday Night: Winds less than 25 kt. Seas up to 5 ft. Slight chance of rain.
Saturday: Winds less than 25 kt. Seas up to 5 ft.
Saturday Night: Winds less than 25 kt. Areas of seas approaching 5 ft.
Sunday: Winds less than 25 kt. Areas of seas approaching 5 ft.
Slight chance of rain.
TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING
High astronomical tides coupled with onshore flow may result in some splashover/very minor coastal flooding during the overnight high tide cycles tonight and Fri night. However, wind/waves do not appear high enough to result in a significant issue. The daytime high tides are lower and do not pose a threat for coastal flooding.
BOX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES
CT...None.
MA...None.
RI...None.
MARINE...None.
