SYNOPSIS
Expanding high pressure brings sunny and warm conditions both Friday and Saturday, although a few showers are possible Sunday afternoon and evening in the west. Mainly dry and warm weather is expected through mid to late next week as high pressure is in control. Rain chances return late in the week.
NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/
Highlights:
* Warm, mostly sunny, with a breezy northwest wind.
Gorgeous day ahead, mid-level ridging off to our west with a surface high pressure expanding across the Ohio River Valley. Starting of cool if not chilly for some. While many spots are in the low 50s and upper 40s, parts of far northwest MA are nearing 40 degrees. Outside of a few clouds, a mainly clear start with widely isolated radiation fog in typical areas - no real impact to the morning commute.
Trough exits east of New England this afternoon, weak shortwave with it and PWATs around 0.6 and 0.8 should be enough to develop some cloud cover, but do not expect to be a "cloudy" type of day. There is a VERY low chance for an isolated shower, but given how high the cloud bases are, around 10k ft, these should produce nothing more than a light shower focuses mainly from Cape Ann to Cape Cod and the Islands.
Deep mixing of the boundary layer today, some guidance in BUFKIT suggests the boundary layer extending 800mb/700mb. This taps into the drier air and mixes down lower dewpoints. Dewpoints are in the upper 30s to low 40s. This leads to a warm afternoon with no humidity, highs are expected to be in the lower to middle 70s, with the CT River Valley in the upper 70s. NW winds this afternoon are breezy, gusts 15 to 20 MPH.
Whether a seabreeze develops or not is tough, have opt to hold back on this across eastern MA given BUFKIT profile soundings do not really support the flip over along the eastern coast. Could see more of a SW wind develop along the south coast of MA and RI, leading to more of a seabreeze. Areas from Westerly to Newport likely are tad cooler around 70 to 72 degrees.
But over all, a stunner of a Fri-Yay!
SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM SATURDAY/
Tonight: Winds ease overnight with high pressure firmly in control along with clearing of those afternoon clouds. Winds should remain steady enough overnight, precluding any radiational cooling. Lows are generally in the low and middle 50s, higher terrain of NW MA in the low and middle 40s. Will say, if winds trend weaker overnight could have a similar night to the previous with lows more towards the 40s and low 50s.
Saturday: The mid-level ridge shifts east, centered over northern New York and surface high pressure to our southwest. The flow aloft is northwest and should promote mainly sunny conditions, downsloping and warmer temperatures for the afternoon. Highs are in the upper 70s to low 80s, likely a few degrees cooler from the tip of Cape Ann and Cape Cod with a NNW wind. Still fairly low dewpoints, a tad higher than Friday, but still comfortable in the mid 40s to 50 degrees. Winds are around 10 to 15 MPH.
LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/
Key Points...
* High pressure supports warm/dry weather through mid to late next week
* Low chance for some afternoon showers across western MA/CT Sunday afternoon
Details...
Quiet and mostly dry weather is the story for most of the extended forecast period thanks to expansive mid level ridging over southern New England on Sunday which rebuilds on Tuesday/Wednesday. This broad ridge and associated surface high will keep widespread rain chances out of the forecast through at least mid week. The one exception will be Sunday night into Monday as a weak shortwave drops into the northeast bringing a plume of moisture and associated rain showers with it. Thinking continues to be that high pressure will steer this disturbance southwest of the region, so the best rain chances will be over CT and coastal RI. Beyond that, our next widespread rain chances come around Thursday or Friday as the ridge begins to break down with the arrival of a trough which digs into the Great Lakes during the latter half of the week. Confidence on when this rain arrives and who sees the most is low at this distance in time. Temperature-wise the airmass overhead will remain essentially unchanged with 850mb temps on either side of 10C which will correlate to highs in the upper 70s/low 80s and lows in the 50s.
AVIATION /12Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/
Forecast Confidence Levels:
Low - less than 30 percent.
Moderate - 30 to 60 percent.
High - greater than 60 percent.
12Z TAF Update: Overall high confidence, with low confidence in development of seabreeze this afternoon
Today... High confidence.
VFR and dry. NNW winds 8-12 kts, gusts 18-22kts between 17z and 23z.
Tonight... High confidence.
VFR. Low chance of radiational fog to development for prone sites.
Light NW wind overnight, some site becoming calm.
Saturday... High confidence.
VFR and dry. NNW winds less than 10 knots. Could see a seabreeze develop along the coast.
KBOS TAF... Overall high confidence, with low confidence in the development of a seabreeze today. Winds should be strong enough to preclude the development of the seabreeze. Otherwise, VFR and dry for the TAF period.
KBDL TAF... VFR, dry, breezy NW winds.
Outlook /Saturday Night through Tuesday/...
Saturday Night through Sunday: VFR.
Sunday Night: VFR. Slight chance SHRA.
Monday through Tuesday: VFR.
MARINE
Forecaster Confidence Levels:
Low - less than 30 percent.
Medium - 30 to 60 percent.
High - greater than 60 percent.
Friday into Saturday...
Tranquil boating conditions with surface high pressure building over the waters into Saturday. There remains a very low risk for a widely isolated shower this afternoon, otherwise dry conditions prevail.
Winds are light and from the north, but become southwest, for a time, as weak surface trough moves over the waters. Winds return to northwest direction tonight. Saturday the wind over the southern waters are west/southwest while eastern waters are west/northwest.
Wind speeds and waves remain below SCA criteria, winds are 10-15 knots with localized gusts near shore to 20 knots, seas are 1-2ft near shore and 2-3ft off shore.
Outlook /Saturday Night through Tuesday/...
Saturday Night through Sunday: Winds less than 25 kt.
Sunday Night: Winds less than 25 kt. Slight chance of rain showers.
Monday through Tuesday: Winds less than 25 kt.
