Synopsis for massachusetts and rhode island coastal waters.. A stationary front will remain near or just south of the southern waters tonight. Areas of low pres will move along this boundary tonight and Tue, bringing showers and scattered Thunderstorms, some with gusty winds and tropical downpours. Dry and more seasonable conditions return Wed through Fri as high pres builds across the waters.

(on/off) Help NOTE: mouseover dotted underlined text for definition| Fxus61 kbox 222012 afdbox area forecast discussion national weather service boston norton ma 412 pm edt Mon jul 22 2019 Synopsis Low pressure will track along a frontal boundary draped across ct, ri and southeast ma tonight and will be accompanied by scattered showers and thunderstorms with heavy downpours possible. The front slides along or just offshore Tuesday with showers then focused across southern ri and southeast ma. The low and frontal boundary will move offshore Wednesday morning, followed by a stretch of dry, seasonable weather along with comfortable humidity arriving Wednesday afternoon and lingering through the weekend with temperatures gradually warming through the period. Near term until 6 am Tuesday morning Scattered rain showers and a few thunderstorms continue across southern new england early this afternoon. At the synoptic level we have a shortwave approaching in the mid levels generating a frontal wave to our southwest that will track northeast and bring strong to severe storms this afternoon and evening. Surface observations show the front over southern ct with an impressive convergence boundary in southeast ny southwest ct firing off severe storms to our west. This is the location of the best low level turning in the atmosphere together with ample instability. As southern zones warm sector with the advancing warm front dewpoints in the upper 60s will increase to the low 70s, and MUCAPE increases on the order of 1000-2000 j kg. Though mid level lapse rates are poor, shear values are quite good, which should allow for prolonged updrafts and organized, rotating storms. 0-6km bulk shear values will reach 40-50kts. Good low level rotation will increase tornado potential as well; 0-1km shear of 25- 35kts and 0-1km SRH approaching 150. The area of strongest updraft helicity (a good proxy for severe storm potential) continues to hit on southwest ct reaching into northern ct and ri. A severe thunderstorm watch has been issued for all of ct and ri through 10 pm. The main threat will be from damaging winds with the potential for an isolated tornado. Additionally these storms will come with some locally heavy downpours which could cause some urban and small stream flooding. Anomalous pwats approach 2.25" with plenty of lift ahead of the shortwave with placement under the entrance region of a 110kt 300mb jet. Heavy rain is possible through the overnight hours, especially over ct and western-central ma. A bit of a break comes after midnight before our next round arrives early Tuesday. Short term 6 am Tuesday morning through Tuesday night The trough axis remains to the west on Tuesday with another frontal wave moving up the coast bringing additional heavy rainfall. This time the axis of greatest pwats shifts southeast as the best lift from low level convergence and favorable upper jet dynamics aligns to bring the heaviest rainfall to ri and southeast ma. Another 1-2" is possible with locally higher amounts up to 3" leading to the risk of urban and poor drainage flooding. A 35-45kt LLJ moves over southern ri and southeast ma which could mix down gusty winds in heavy downpours as well, while retreating instability should keep the threat of thunderstorms to the south coast. The low lifts out of the area bringing rain to an end from west to east Tuesday evening into early overnight. Tuesday night should be mostly dry, but a third and final low crosses further to our southeast keeping a chance for some rain showers in the forecast for the south coast CAPE cod islands. Long term Wednesday through Monday Highlights ... * dry stretch of weather Wed afternoon into the weekend * seasonable temperatures and comfortable humidity Wed & thu * gradually becoming warmer and more humid Fri Sat Sun mon long wave trough and attending weak surface low south of long island 12z Wed advects eastward giving way to a drying trend Wed afternoon. Temps warm into the low 80s Wed afternoon but maybe only into the 70s eastern ma given later departure time of rain and cloud shield. Then a beautiful stretch of dry weather and comfortable humidity thu and Fri as upper trough lifts exits to the northeast and is replaced by rising heights and anticyclonic mid level flow. As 1026 mb high builds from the oh valley into new england expect warm days and comfortable nights with dew pts in the 50s. Weak pressure gradient will support afternoon seabreezes each day. High pressure remains anchored over southern new england Fri and sat but strong july Sun will gradually warm airmass with humidity remaining tolerable. By Sunday and Monday high moves offshore and return flow will yield increasing humidity, although typical for late july with dew pts in the 60s. Ensembles suggest mean trough sets up over the great lakes Sunday into early next week with subtropical ridge offshore. This will likely support dry weather here in southern new england with frontal boundaries remaining northwest of new england or fronts dissipating eastward into new england. Thus seasonably warm and humid Sunday into early next week at least by late july standards. Aviation 20z Monday through Saturday Forecaster confidence levels... low - less than 30 percent. |

Finally, tide and current data on this site is from 2007 and 2008 data bases, which may contain even older data. Changes in harbors due to building or dredging change tides and currents and for that reason many of the locations presented are no longer supported by newer data bases. For example, there is very little tidal current data in newer data bases so current data is likely wrong to some extent. This data is NOT FOR NAVIGATION. See the XTide disclaimer for details. In addition, tide and current are influenced by storms, river flow, and other factors beyond the ability of any predictive program. |
