(on/off) Help NOTE: mouseover dotted underlined text for definition| Fxus61 kbox 200206 afdbox area forecast discussion national weather service boston norton ma 1006 pm edt Mon aug 19 2019 Synopsis A weak cold front sweeps across the area overnight. Behind the front, a brief period of drier and less humid weather will be with us for Tuesday. The front returns north on Wednesday as a warm front. Humid and very warm conditions overspread the region Wed afternoon through Thursday. The return of this summer-like airmass will be accompanied by the risk for scattered thunderstorms Wed and thu. A cold front sweeps across the area late Thu setting the stage for dry and less humid weather Friday into the weekend. Near term until 6 am Tuesday morning The last of the showers is moving past the outer CAPE and nantucket. Per satellite, skies are clear or mostly clear across most of southern new england. Most of the clouds, over CAPE cod and the islands, will be moving off to the east by midnight. Weak cold front has moved through the berkshires and is moving east. This will move through southern new england overnight with light south winds becoming light northwest. Dew points, which were near 70 earlier, will trend to the mid 60s, possibly low 60s in northwest ma. Based on this, we continue to expect overnight min temps in the 60s. Short term 6 am Tuesday morning through Tuesday night 445 pm update ... Tuesday ... post frontal airmass settles over the region tomorrow with good column drying as pwats fall below 1 inch, providing abundant sunshine. This dry air mixes to the surface with dew pts in the mid to upper 50s, although afternoon seabreezes will keep dew pts in the low to mid 60s. Still much more comfortable than the mid 70 dew pts of today. Not as hot as today but warm with highs in the mid to upper 80s, just more tolerable with dew pts in the mid to upper 50s. Overall a real nice late summer day by new england standards. Tuesday night ... pleasant during the evening hours with dry weather and comfortable humidity hanging on. Second half of the night warm front approaches from the southwest with risk of showers and thunderstorms toward daybreak. Also patchy fog possible late. Long term Wednesday through Monday *** will update after thunderstorms exit *** highlights... * shower and thunderstorm chances Wednesday-Thursday * a cold front brings dry & cooler conditions Friday through the weekend details... Tuesday night through Thursday... . A series of shortwaves and a strong cold front will bring periodic shower and thunderstorm chances through Thursday. Starting late Tuesday early Wednesday a warm front will begin to make its way north across the region. With this warm front comes a very humid airmass (dewpoints rising from the 50s Tuesday to the low 70s early Wednesday, and pwats back up near 2"). As mid level energy associated with a weak shortwave moves through and interacts with the warm front it initiates showers and thunderstorms. There is potential for some strong thunderstorms given the moist warm sector and CAPE values 2000-3000 j kg with moderate to good bulk shear (35- 45kts). Any storms that form could produce gusty winds and heavy downpours given how much moisture is in the column. At the moment the best chance for heavier rainfall looks to be areas north and west, with less QPF over southeast ma coastal ri. However, we're still too far out to nail down specifics with much confidence. The surface low and upper trough over the great lakes region then slides north and east late Wednesday to Thursday dragging its cold front across southern new england overnight Thursday. Along and ahead of the front we again see shower and thunderstorm chances with >2000 j kg CAPE and good shear parameters (>40 kts bulk shear). Temperatures remain relatively steady through this period in the 80s before a cool down arrives to end the week. Friday through Sunday... the cold front exits off the south coast or in the vicinity by Friday morning leaving a cooler and much drier post frontal airmass in its wake. Pwats drop to 0.5" while surface dewpoints in the low 50s will make the air feel refreshing compared to the previous week. Surface high pressure and mid level ridging builds in through the period bringing dry and pleasant weather through the weekend. Cold pool aloft (850mb temps 7-10c) will allow for surface highs in the 70s each day. Aviation 02z Tuesday through Saturday Forecaster confidence levels... low - less than 30 percent. Moderate - 30 to 60 percent. |
High - greater than 60 percent. Short term through Tuesday night ... Moderate confidence. Last of the showers are moving off CAPE cod. Lingering 800 to 1200 foot ceilings with these showers, but all of this is moving off to the east. Observed conditions are mostly clear off-cape and trending clear on-cape. Light south winds will turn from the west and northwest as a weak cold front moves through overnight. Tuesday ... vfr and dry weather. Afternoon seabreezes near the coast.

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. |
