SYNOPSIS
Another weak cold front moves across the region by this evening but with little in the way of noticeable effects other than some gusty winds. High pressure then builds in through Friday.
Rain showers and possible this weekend with a cold front.

NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/
A short wave trough pushes through northern New England today allowing for another weak cold front to move across the region.
The air mass ahead of the front is dry so we only expect some clouds but no rainfall. Winds will however become gusty with westerlies gusting around 25 MPH with a few 30 MPH gusts possible.

SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM WEDNESDAY/
Winds quickly diminish this evening as high pressure slides down from the northwest. Low temperatures have been based largely on a blend of the MOS guidance. Mostly clear skies expected except for some mountain strato-cu.

High pressure dominates Wed with mostly sunny skies except for perhaps some late day cirrus moving into southern zones.
Otherwise, winds will be much lighter with an afternoon seabreeze expected.

LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/
Overview: Warm pattern continues before a cold front brings the chance of rain and slightly cooler temps Friday into Saturday.

Details: Low pressure will be occluding over the western Great Lakes Wednesday evening, with a elongated warm front reaching towards the Mid-Atlantic. This boundary will have good moisture with it and guidance depicts widespread showers to the SW of the CWA overnight. Strong high pressure to the NW will have been continuing advection of dry air at the surface and upper levels across the area, so the incoming moisture will have to contend with that. Guidance has been consistent in suggesting a resulting mid deck of clouds easily pushing into the area into the day Thursday, but model soundings really hold low level dry air steadfast. Thus have lowered suggested NBM PoPs, focusing the chance of any showers towards Thursday evening across SW and west NH. This will only be enabled as the parent low draws north and the boundary almost tilts poleward along the VT/NH border. Will keep these at slight chance/chance PoPs for now.
Dry air aloft could limit this to just a period of drizzle or scattered sprinkles. Daytime highs may be greatest across the Kennebec Valley as clouds take longer to move in here. Highs around 60 will be possible here, with low to mid 50s to the SW.

With flow finally turning out of the SE, Thursday night should be fairly mild. Will see clouds expand NE with time, but precip chances again wane as the front washes out. Friday should warm nicely, with rain chances again building into the late afternoon and overnight hours. This round looks at least more certain with areal coverage, but QPF remains light as cold front passes through. This will likely be enough to dampen the surface into Saturday morning while some showers continue to develop out of the mountains through the afternoon.

Remainder of the weekend into early next week looks a couple degrees cooler, but mostly dry conditions seem possible considering broad high pressure moving east to start the week.

AVIATION /07Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/
Short Term...VFR conditions expected all terminals today. Any fog in the CT valley will burn off early on. NWly winds gust up to 25 kt today, but winds will be lighter Wednesday. A seabreeze is expected on Wednesday afternoon, especially from PWM on southward.

Long Term...VFR Wed night and Thurs morning. Cigs do begin to lower Thurs evening and overnight. MVFR looks likely, but can't rule out pockets of IFR at this range. Dry air near surface should promote little vis impact, although some SHRA or drizzle can't be ruled out in the evening. More prominent area of showers Friday evening and overnight into Sat AM along a cold front moving through.



MARINE
Short Term...Conditions remain below SCA today through Wednesday most waters. However, one exception may be nearshore waters today where overland mixing may allow for a few 25 kt gusts.

Long Term...Below SCA conditions expected. Cold front will pass over the waters Thursday night into Friday morning with showers.
Otherwise, waves remain 2 to 3 ft, with gusts less than 20 kt.

GYX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES
ME...None.
NH...None.
MARINE...None.
