WHAT HAS CHANGED
General forecast trends remain unchanged.
KEY MESSAGES
- Cool today with some scattered shower chances. Otherwise, dry and turning even colder overnight.
- Seasonable temperatures return Wednesday and through the rest of the week.
- Some uncertainty remains for the latter half of the week regarding the chance for more unsettled conditions.
DISCUSSION
KEY MESSAGE 1...Cool today with some scattered shower chances.
Otherwise, dry and turning even colder overnight.
An upper level trough settles overhead today, which will lead to colder air making its way into southern New England. 925 mb temperatures today struggle to get above 0C, supportive of highs only in the low 50s and upper 40s. Winds will be breezy and mostly NW with occasional gusts in the afternoon around 20-25 MPH. They will start to diminish as high pressure approaches from the west heading into tonight. Even with the aforementioned approaching high pressure, a weak low pressure passing through the region today will bring increased cloud cover and some scattered showers. Any showers that do pop up are expected more so in the afternoon hours today, and the highest chances are primarily centered around the northern MA border and the south coast. Eastern MA could see some as well, primarily in the later afternoon hours into the evening. With regards to any chances for thunder, chances are quite low. MUCAPE values in high res guidance are only around 200 J/kg along the south coast and generally north of MA through much of the afternoon, then shifting towards eastern MA towards 6 PM. HRRR thunder probs are also below 10 percent. Some convective showers cannot be completely ruled out, but confidence in embedded thunder or lightning developing is low at this time. Outside these rain chances, conditions will be very dry as dew points are around 20 degrees lower than the expected air temperatures today.
Tonight, it gets even colder as we have more of a radiational cooling setup. As the colder air builds in, any lingering showers may also mix with wet snowflakes, but chances for that remain very low. Skies clear and winds shift more N and go light overnight. The colder airmass remains affixed overhead, with 925 mb temperatures falling to around -5C overnight. In the interior, lows may dip into the low 20s, particularly in the higher elevations. Subfreezing temperatures are expected across southern New England, aside from more coastal areas. However, it will still get close to freezing in those areas, bottoming out in the mid 30s.
Temperatures remain cool for Tuesday, though will steadily be improving as the upper level trough and associated cold airmass progress offshore. This improvement will be more noticeable Tuesday night as lows will generally be in the 30s across the region. High pressure builds in, maintaining dry conditions.
KEY MESSAGE 2...Seasonable temperatures return Wednesday and through the rest of the week
Some showers are a possibility once again heading into Wednesday as a weak boundary approaches, but more seasonable temperatures make a return as the trough from early this week exits. 925 mb temperatures recover to around 5C, supporting more seasonable highs in the low to mid 50s. NW flow makes a return heading into Thursday in the wake of that weak boundary, and high pressure builds back in then as upper level ridging approaches, keeping southern New England dry. Highs for Thursday and Friday should also remain seasonable barring any drastic changes in upcoming forecasts.
KEY MESSAGE 3...Some uncertainty remains for the latter half of the week regarding the chance for more unsettled conditions
There are still some discrepancies regarding the placement of the western edge of the upper level trough that becomes centered over the Canadian Maritimes, which may affect how far east warmer temperatures aloft make it for the second half of the week. These would, in turn, affect highs later this week and into the weekend.
This also impacts when and where we could see some more unsettled conditions make a return during that same time period. The ridge progressing east approaches southern New England Friday, but depending on that upper level low and how far west it lingers, we may see some showers and cooler conditions. Aside from that, another frontal system arriving Saturday may provide our next chance for some rain.
