Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Boston/Norton MA 743 PM EDT Fri May 3 2024

SYNOPSIS
High pressure brings dry weather with cooler onshore breezes through Saturday. A slow-moving frontal boundary brings clouds and rain showers on Sunday into early Monday, along with a period of cooler high temperatures. Though clouds and off and on showers may linger in southeast New England in vicinity of the slowing front, drier weather prevails for most of interior Southern New England.
Turning warmer on Tuesday with abundant sunshine, and though temperatures will be significantly cooler near the coast, interior areas could see high temperatures reach near 80 degrees. Our next chance for rain is around midweek.

NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SATURDAY MORNING/
740 PM Update:

Tranquil early-evening underway across Southern New England, governed by a 1024 mb high pressure area located in the waters east of Ipswich Bay. This high pressure remains generally stationary over at least the next 24 hours, maintaining dry weather but with an increase in cirrus/high clouds as the evening progresses. Used some of the RAP to show a decrease in sky cover for most of the evening, thus pleasant conditions for any Friday evening outdoor plans.

However the fly in the ointment arrives by the pre-dawn hrs and mainly in eastern MA, in the form of marine-layer stratus which is evident in satellite imagery over Nova Scotia and the Bay of Fundy. These low clouds should gradually build/spread southwestward through the Gulf of Maine into Cape Cod and the adjacent eastern coastal waters toward daybreak. Think greatest extent of low cloud cover should be restricted to the immediate eastern MA coast, with scattered lower clouds further inland to around central MA/RI by daybreak.

Low temps in the low-mid 40s seem on track for now with expectation of generally clear skies for most of the evening, with cooling likely not to be impeded by advancing stream of high clouds.

Previous discussion:

Good amount of wind shear visible on the satellite this afternoon with mid level clouds moving NE to SW and upper level cirrus moving NW to SE this afternoon. As for those mid clouds, the May sun is helping to increase our breaks of sun but partly cloudy is about the best we can hope for in much of southern New England for the rest of the day. By the overnight hours we'll see some marginal clearing of both mid and high clouds, especially after midnight, but fully clear skies aren't expected. Even so, given the high overhead and calm winds, did lower temps a but to account for some potential to radiate. Lows bottom in the low to mid 40s; right around average for early May.

SHORT TERM /6 AM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM SATURDAY/
High pressure nudges further south into New England from Nova Scotia bringing continued quiet weather for the first half of the weekend.
This means continued cool, moist onshore flow from the northeast so low clouds will be moving in from the northeast while high clouds move in from the southwest. High temperatures won't be too different than Friday, with the warmest spot (the CT valley) in the upper 60s and the coolest spot (eastern MA) in the mid 50s. Cloudcover continues to increase overnight as deeper moisture (PWATs over 1 inch) move into western SNE on SW flow ahead of the approaching system. However, rain should hold off until after 8am.

LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/
Highlights:

* Cloudy, cooler with rain on Sunday into early Mon, with continued lighter showers on Mon for southeast New England.

* Dry and turning mild on Tue, though cooler onshore flow near the coasts. Spot 80s in the CT Valley?

* Next chance for rains around midweek (Wed/Thu), though still unclear which day has the higher rain chances.

Details:

Sunday and Monday:

The 12z suite of guidance continues to come into better congruence regarding our next chance for steadier light rains associated with a passing frontal boundary and a rather disorganized 500 mb trough.
Chances for rain increase during the morning in most areas, with the period of greatest rain chances focused during the Sunday afternoon to early Monday morning period as the frontal boundary slowly shifts eastward. With the front becoming parallel to the 500 mb flow with time as we move into the early Monday period, expect lingering rain showers during the morning hrs along the RI/MA South Coast, Cape Cod and the Islands. Further north and west, we should see dry weather but with a mix of clouds and sun. Overall not a soaking rain, but enough to likely put a damper on outdoor plans for many on Sunday, with rain showers lingering into Monday for the southeast New England coastal areas. To that end, model-ensemble probabilistic QPF assessment shows high (70-90%) probs of 24 hr rain totals over a tenth of an inch, but lower to moderate (25-50%) probs for rain amts at or over a half inch. Official forecast has rain amts around a quarter to third of an inch.

Expect Sunday to be a cooler day with cloud cover and rains around, with narrower diurnal range in high and low temps. Highs Sunday in the mid 50s, and lows in the upper 40s to near 50. High temps are more challenging on Monday with more clouds south of the Mass Pike and especially near southern coast, with some sunny breaks further north. Highs along the southern coast probably struggle to reach 60, but you don't have to go much further inland before highs reach into the low to mid 70s; with lows in the mid 40s to low 50s.

Tuesday:

High pressure over interior northern New England governs weather conditions into Southern New England Tuesday, supplying dry weather and mostly sunny conditions. An early look at model forecast soundings in interior MA/CT show potential for temperatures to overachieve guidance with progged deep mixing; with 850 mb temps around +7 to nearly +10C, highs could reach around 80 degrees in the CT Valley with readings well into the 70s eastward into RI and into the MA coastal plain. Northeast flow near the coast will keep temps several degrees cooler than well inland though, in the mid to upper 60s. Very difficult to show that level of granular detail given model-resolution limitations at this forecast time horizon and utilized some of the bias-corrected temperature fields given a similar regime. Did note NBM was advertising some low PoPs in this period for spot showers, but feel this is pretty overdone given progged mixing.

Wednesday and Thursday:

Though this period offers the next best chance for rain associated with an elongated warm front from low pressure over the Plains states, there is more uncertainty in timing when chances are greatest. Really will need those uncertainties to become more in clearer focus before delving into specifics. Didn't make too many adjustments to NBM in this period, except capped PoPs at the higher end of Chance range (40-50%) given stated timing uncertainties.

AVIATION /23Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/
Forecast Confidence Levels:

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

00z TAF Update:

Tonight: High confidence.

VFR with increasing stream of high clouds. Could see patchy mist/fog develop mainly in eastern/northeast MA but too unlikely to mention in the TAF. Toward daybreak, advancing SCT-OVC marine stratus at VFR/MVFR levels and while there's stronger confidence of MVFR bases over the Cape and Islands, it may lie just offshore of the remaining portion of the eastern MA coastline. Light E winds (light/variable at times), before trending NE/ENE around 6-10 kt by daybreak.

Tomorrow...Moderate confidence.

Any lingering MVFR may improve to VFR for much of the day. Some uncertainty here given we are still stuck in persistent onshore easterly flow at 5-10 kts. Confidence higher for VFR away from eastern MA coastline.

KBOS TAF...High confidence in TAF. VFR, with marine stratus nearing BOS after 09z; outside chance at MVFR bases early Sat AM but should trend more BKN VFR levels. Light east winds tonight (variable at times) before becoming ENE around 10 kt starting early Sat.

KBDL TAF...High confidence in TAF. VFR, light southerly winds becoming light easterly early Sat AM.

Outlook /Saturday Night through Wednesday/...

Saturday Night: Mainly VFR, with local IFR possible.

Sunday: Mainly VFR, with local IFR possible. Chance SHRA.

Sunday Night: MVFR/IFR conditions possible. SHRA.

Monday: Mainly VFR, with local IFR possible. Slight chance SHRA.

Monday Night through Tuesday: VFR.

Tuesday Night: VFR. Chance SHRA.

Wednesday: Mainly VFR, with local MVFR possible. Chance SHRA.
