SYNOPSIS

Low pressure tracks south of New England Sunday, bringing a steady rain to the region, moderate to heavy at times. It will be chilly rain along with areas of fog into Sunday night.
Generally dry weather for much of the upcoming week, but fairly cloudy. Temperatures will be near to below normal through Thursday. Temperatures trending upward Friday into the weekend.

NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/

345 AM Update...

Key Points...

* Chilly with widespread rain Sun, with highs in the upper 30s/40s * Areas of light rain/drizzle & fog linger Sun night * Any brief mix with snow confined to near 1500 ft with little impact

Water vapor satellite imagery indicates an impressive subtropical jet stretching from central Mexico northeast to the east coast, with the core of the jet 170+ kt and PWATs up to 250% of normal. These wind and moisture anomalies will contribute to a widespread rain overspreading SNE this morning, then becoming moderate to heavy at times. A robust short wave embedded within this fast flow moves across the OH Valley today and into PA. It spins up low pressure south of New England. A modest ENE jet develops with this low, providing good Atlantic inflow into SNE, but also a wind driven rain along with chilly temps, with highs only 40-45, upper 30s high terrain. But again, it will feel cooler given the brisk ENE winds this afternoon.

Despite surface low tracking south of New England and 1025+ mb high over Quebec, the lack of antecedent cold air across New England combined with mid level low tracking NW of the region, will support ptype to be all rain. There is a low probability (10-20%) that snow and/or sleet may briefly mix with the rain across the high terrain of northwest MA per model soundings. However, this will be very short lived if it even occurs, therefore little if any impact especially with surface temps at or above freezing in the high terrain.

SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM MONDAY/

345 AM update...

* Steady rain transitions to light spotty rain/drizzle * A trend towards drier and cooler weather Monday

Sunday night...

Dry slot moves across CT/RI and southeast MA. This will bring an end to the steady rain and transition to light spotty rain/drizzle.
Across northern MA, deeper moisture and lift persists longer, therefore steady rain likely lingers thru the evening. Storm total rainfall will range between 0.50 to 0.75 inches, however up to an inch is possible across northern MA given the longer duration. Given the lack of cold air, temps will remain above freezing with lows in the mid to upper 30s, low 40s for southeast MA. Light NE winds in the evening become light NNW toward Monday morning.

Monday...

Short wave along the ME coast 12z Monday races eastward and is replaced by short wave ridging across SNE. This will promote mainly dry weather Monday, along with some breaks of morning sunshine, especially across CT/RI and southeast MA where the deeper dry air exists. Although with another upstream short wave approaching the region from the NW late in the day, any morning sunshine likely gives way to increasing diurnal clouds. Nonetheless, a mainly dry day along with temps at or slightly above normal, with highs in the upper 40s to lower 50s. Although, there will be a cool west breeze at 10-15 mph.

LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/

Highlights

* Generally dry and quiet weather for much of the upcoming week. A few spotty rain/snow showers are possible, especially across eastern areas. A bit more widespread Tue night through Wed as an inverted trough swings through.

* Temperatures trend near to below normal for much of the week.

* Will see temps rebounding late in the week and perhaps through the weekend. Next shot for widespread precip comes Sun or early next week.

Monday Night through Thursday...

Cyclonic flow in place through the vast majority of this period. A shortwave trough lifts through into early Tue. A shortwave ridge builds from the eastern Great Lakes into New England on Tue. A trough swings through late Tue through Wed. A ridge axis builds into the Great Lakes region later on Thu. High pressure nudges in from Quebec through much of this timeframe. An inverted trough slowly slides through Mon night through Wed.

Overall a fairly quiet, albeit cloudy period for southern New England. Could see spotty rain/snow showers across eastern coastal areas as the inverted trough slowly slides through. Best shot for more widespread showers is on Wed as the deeper trough lifts through. Will be quite cold with 500 hPa temps of -30 to -35 degree C. This in combination with the trough moving through will bring more widespread showers, especially across the Cape/Islands. At this point have leaned on the NBM, but suspect with the cold pool aloft there could be some activity across the interior. For now have held off from adding, but may be needed in future updates.

The big story during this timeframe will be temperatures trending downward. Will have NW to N cold air advection through much of the timeframe. The coldest air overhead at 925 hPa will be on Thu with temps of -4 to -10 degrees C. Still cold on Tue/Wed with temps of -3 to -7 degrees C. The result will be highs generally in the 30s, but there will be some 40 degree readings across the south coast on Tue/Wed. Coldest lows on Wed Night/Thu AM with fairly widespread 20s and even some teens across the interior.

Friday through Saturday...

Bit of a change from 24 hours ago. A somewhat amplified ridge builds from the Great Lakes region early on Fri into New England late in the day. The ridge builds into Nova Scotia by late Sat. A warm front lifts toward the region on Fri, while a high nudges in from Quebec/offshore of southern New England.

Generally dry and quiet weather expected. This is a bit of a change from 24 hours ago where a clipper system swung through our region.
There is still some support from a couple of ensemble members per the GEFS/GEPS and EPS guidance, but most depict a dry forecast.
Given the jump from 24 hrs ago am sticking with the NBM for now.
Will need to see how things trend as the week progresses. More confident in temperatures trending upward as flow becomes westerly or southerly, which advects milder air into our region. Highs will be near to above normal.

Better shot for more widespread precip comes late in the weekend and early into next week, but will have more details on this in the coming days.
