SYNOPSIS
High pressure will continue to provide dry and very pleasant fall weather through Thursday. Other than early morning fog each day, lots of sunshine is expected with the warmest temperatures on Wednesday, with another round of highs in the low 80s. Still unseasonably mild Thursday, with highs in the 70s. A strong frontal system then slowly moves into Southern New England Friday night and Saturday. While rain amounts are still uncertain, there is growing confidence on a widespread rain and perhaps heavy at times. Rain comes to an end either Saturday evening or overnight.
Then dry but brisk and cooler weather overspreads the region Sunday into early next week.
NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING/
315 PM update...
Pleasant, warm Fall day in progress beneath a sprawling surface high pressure and mid level ridge covering much of the eastern U.S. this afternoon. Warm, moist advection tonight on WSW winds will bring increasing dewpoints this evening into tonight, rising into the low 60s for most. This will act to keep low temperatures from dropping as low as the last few nights, as well as increasing the likelihood of patchy dense fog.
SHORT TERM /6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/
315 PM update...
Wednesday expect more of the same under the influence of the same high pressure ridge; we'll see temperatures well above average, especially in the interior where highs top out in the low 80s. For locations along the coast seabreezes will keep temperatures more comfortable in the mid 70s. Another mild night Wednesday night given elevated dewpoints, with lows dipping into the low to mid 50s.
LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/
315 PM update...
Key Points:
* Dry and very pleasant weather with warmer than normal temperatures continuing Thursday
* Increasing chances for showers Fri, with a more widespread rain Friday night and Saturday. Rain may be heavy at times.
* Dry weather returns Sunday and continues into early next week, but noticeably cooler and brisk at times
Thursday...high amplitude closed anticyclone over the region provides another day of dry, very pleasant fall weather to SNE, with lots of sunshine given subsidence/very dry column via PWATs below normal. The anomalous warmth from Tue and Wed will be tempered Thu by low level southerly flow. Blyr mixing will be limited by subsidence inversion/1025 mb surface high. 925 mb temps around +18C, which should support highs in the mid to upper 70s.
Nonetheless, still about 10 degs warmer than normal and it will feel warm with dew pts in the low 60s.
Friday...high amplitude mid level trough comes barreling through the Great Lakes Friday. Not expecting a washout here Friday as deeper moisture holds off until Fri night/Sat, but can't rule out a few low top showers Friday. Not as mild Fri given onshore SE flow and more clouds than sun. Although still a few degs above normal with highs in the upper 60s and lower 70s. However, it will feel mild with dew pts in the low to mid 60s.
Fri night/Saturday...showers become more widespread Fri night and Sat with increasing cyclonic flow as approaching trough takes on a negative tilt and possibly evolves into a closed mid level low.
Strong jet dynamics with RRQ of upper level jet streak over SNE, coupled with tropical moisture from Philippe possibly being entrained into the trough, may result in periods of heavy rain and a flood threat. All three ensemble systems (ECENS, GEFS & CMC) have a few members with 2+ rainfall amounts, which is a pretty strong signal given the time range here. Seems plausible given amplitude of upper air pattern combined with tropical moisture. Obviously still uncertainty on location of heaviest rainfall. Something we will need to watch as the week progresses.
Sunday into early next week...cooler than normal with below normal heights over the Northeast/New England. Highs in the upper 50s and lower 60s, and widespread lows in the 40s with a few MU30s. Mainly dry but lots of diurnal clouds and possibly a brief afternoon shower early next week, especially high terrain.
