SYNOPSIS. Large high pressure remains over New England today and Tuesday, bringing dry weather with mild days and cool nights. The high begins to drift offshore Wednesday, with increasing humidity and scattered showers possible. A slow moving frontal system approaching from the west will be accompanied by widespread showers at times Thursday into Friday. Improving conditions expected Saturday but a few showers could linger in eastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island.
NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/. 130PM Update .
Near term remains on track. Only deviation were the fair-weather cumulus clouds that have been developing across Connecticut and central Massachusetts.
950AM Update .
No changes made during this update to the forecast.
Temperature just before 10AM are upper-50s/upper-60s. The only minor adjustment made were to nudge the temps up by 1 or 2 degrees as the 50th percentile of the NBM was a tad warmer than current forecast. This will yield temps in the upper-60s to low-70s at the coast and mid-70s across the interior.
Honestly, we are splitting hairs on this "severe clear" kind of day. Speaking of, we do not see much in the way of cloud cover, outside an area of lower broken stratus clouds across the CT River Valley. Morning valley fog across northeastern Mass is diminishing as the sun rises higher and heats up the surface.
Previous forecast discussion is below.
Today .
* Spectacular weather continues, featuring abundant sunshine, low humidity, mild days and cool nights
Subtropical ridge along the east coast amplifies to 593 dam heights at 500 mb over southern New England. Strong subsidence yields a 1030 mb surface high from the Maritimes to New England. This synoptic setup will provide dry weather and abundant sunshine. Temps aloft (+14C at 925 mb and +10C at 850 mb), supports highs very similar to Sunday, low to mid 70s, slightly cooler along/near the coast. Just an absolute gem of a day along with light winds and low humidity (dew pts in the 50s). Enjoy.
SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM TUESDAY/. 3 AM update .
Tonight .
Deep layer ridge remains over the area with 1030 mb surface high from the Maritimes to New England. Dry airmass, light winds and clear conditions will yield another round of radiational cooling. Thus, we will once again derive lows from the cooler MOS guidance. Another night of temps cooler than normal, with lows in the 40s and 50s. Patchy fog is likely across the valley locations.
Tuesday .
Not much change with deep layer ridge (591 dam heights) and 1030 mb high just offshore, supporting dry weather with cool nights and mild days. No change in airmass so expecting similar highs to Monday, low to mid 70s away from the coastline. Not quite as dry as today, as dew pts rise slightly thru the 50s to near 60 along the south coast, as winds become southeast. This slight increase in low level moisture may yield scattered to broken strato-cu clouds from time to time per model moisture profiles. Nevertheless, very pleasant weather given partial sunshine, mild temps and light winds.
LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/. Highlights .
* Slow moving front brings scattered showers Thu/Fri * Front may slow down and cause showers to linger Sat in east
Models continue to show strong mid level ridge shifting offshore Wed which may bring few showers across interior as moisture is drawn northward. Not expecting much in way of activity since any forcing is weak.
Main time frame for scattered showers looks to be Thu into Fri as slow moving cold front approaches from Great Lakes. Still seeing timing differences among models/ensembles with GFS remaining most progressive and bringing front through Thu, while ECMWF and Canadian are slower and bring it through later Fri or early Sat. Have to think slower solution is more correct given high amplitude upper air pattern with deepening mid level trough over Ohio Valley. Still far enough out in time that we need to consider both options so NBM guidance offers a reasonable compromise.
Looking further ahead to next weekend, it's possible front hangs up over eastern New England which would keep a few showers across eastern MA/RI. We may also see a few showers Sun as upper trough rotates through region, but overall confidence is very low given wide range of model solutions.
AVIATION /18Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/. Forecaster Confidence Levels.
Low - less than 30 percent. Moderate - 30 to 60 percent. High - greater than 60 percent.
18z TAF Update: High confidence.
VFR conditions. Cumulus clouds continue to developed mainly across Connecticut and central Massachusetts. Some cumulus have started to pop in far eastern Massachusetts along the sea breeze. Winds are east and less than 10 knots for eastern Massachusetts, elsewhere winds are south southeast at less than 10 knots.
Tonight: Mostly VFR. Isolate areas of MVFR due to patchy valley fog for BDL and BAF. Wind becomes calm overnight.
KBOS Terminal . High confidence. VFR.
KBDL Terminal . High confidence. VFR.
Outlook /Tuesday night through Thursday/
Tuesday: VFR.
Tuesday Night: Mainly VFR, with local IFR possible. Slight chance SHRA.
Wednesday: Mainly VFR, with local MVFR possible. Slight chance SHRA.
Wednesday Night: Mainly VFR, with local IFR possible. Chance SHRA.

CLIMATE. The latest first sub-70 degree high heading into astronomical fall for BOS is September 20 1947. It is possible we may break the record by tomorrow.
The latest first sub-70 degree high heading into astronomical fall for PVD is September 26 2015.
Both BDL and ORH have already recorded sub-70 degree highs earlier this month.
