Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Boston/Norton MA 727 AM EDT Mon Jun 16 2025
SYNOPSIS
Dry weather continues to the start of the week as the maritime high pressure's influence prevails. Temperatures remain slightly cooler Monday and Tuesday before a warming trend begins midweek.
Heat and humidity peak Thursday, with highs up to the low 90s for some. Mainly dry weather through the week, except Thursday, which will have the risk of thunderstorms ahead of an approaching cold front. Turning seasonable with drier conditions Friday and potentially into Saturday.
NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/
Key Messages:
* Dry and slightly warmer
High pressure continues to influence the region and keep the cooler airmass aloft in place. Temperatures aloft aren't expected to change much from yesterday, so highs are only expected to increase a few degrees. Up to mid 70s are possible in the warmest areas, mainly the CT Valley. The rest of the region can expect high temperatures in the lower 70s, aside from the Cape and Islands which may be a few degrees cooler. Easterly winds shift more to the southeast as the day goes on and remain light, which will also keep spots along the eastern coastline more so in the upper 60s.
SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM TUESDAY/
Key Messages:
* Dry and calm night with possible patchy fog developing
* Comfortable day before significant warming trend kick in
* Hit or miss showers possible heading into the evening hours Tuesday
Another dry and quiet night is expected Monday night, aside from the chance of some patchy fog developing. Lows will range between the mid to upper 50s across southern New England with continued cloud cover.
Flow aloft Tuesday begins to shift more towards the SW, setting the stage for a warming trend that is expected to peak later in the week. Winds at the surface, though, are still expected to be from the SE. Highs Tuesday are expected to be in the low to mid 70s. Some hit or miss showers are a possibility heading into the evening hours as a wave passes over the region. Otherwise, another dry day expected with cloudy skies overhead.
LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/
Key Messages:
* A significant warm up is anticipated Wednesday into Thursday.
Less hot Friday into the upcoming weekend.
* Outside of a few hit-or-miss showers on Tuesday night and Wednesday, the next notable chance for rain will come sometime Thursday afternoon or evening with a robust cold front. Which could bring severe weather across the region.
* Seasonable and looking somewhat dry for next weekend.
Summer warmth and humidity move in Wednesday and Thursday.
Thursday will be the hottest day this week, 850mb warm to +18C to +20C! Mixing of the boundary layer wilds afternoon highs in the upper 80s and lower 90s. In addition, dewpoint temperatures are elevated due southwest flow, not out of the question those exceed 70F. When dewpoints get above 70F this becomes "air you can wear". These conditions will help to fuel storms Thursday afternoon associated with a cold front. The cold front will knock down the heat and humidity Friday through the upcoming weekend, but should remain seasonable both Friday and Saturday with highs on either side of 80F. Sunday should begin the next warm up with highs inching back into the middle 80s. And there are signs the heat returns and stays longer well into the following week as global ensembles show modest probabilites for 90F.
As for rain chances, late Tuesday and for Wednesday, there are lower risks of shower activity, but majority of the time looks dry. Late the week zonal flow becomes ridged in the west and trough in the east. A cold front approaches New England Thursday afternoon/evening, this could trigger a severe weather risk.
While we are looking five days out there is already an area highlighted to our southwest by SPC for the potential of severe storms. Quick look, there is instability to tap into, guidance has MUCAPE values above 2,000 J/kg, steep lapse rates including mid-level lapse rates of 7C/km, modest effective shear of ~35 knots. The machine-learning at CSU highlights much of the region with a 15% to 30% chance of severe weather, which is impressive this far out and will be something that needs to be watched.
Friday into the upcoming weekend does look more dry, with potential shower activity on Sunday. But given this is a week out there is plenty of time for things to change.
AVIATION /11Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/
Low - less than 30 percent. Moderate - 30 to 60 percent. High - greater than 60 percent.
12Z TAF Update:
Monday...Moderate Confidence.
IFR improving to MVFR/VFR through the morning. Light ENE winds veering ESE. Timing for improvements a bit uncertain, but more likely by the mid morning hours. Cape and Island terminals should improve to VFR for a few hours this afternoon before coming back down to MVFR/IFR after 21Z.
Monday Night...Moderate Confidence.
VFR becoming MVFR, with areas of IFR/LIFR possible along the Cape and Islands. Light ESE winds becoming E along the South Coast, Cape and Islands. Light SE winds over the rest of the region.
Tuesday...
East/southeast winds persist and continue to support lower celings tomorrow with most locations at MVFR/IFR ceilings around 1000 feet.
KBOS Terminal...Moderate confidence in VFR timing
KBOS and surrounding area should start to see fog mix out over the next hour or two with vsbys/cigs improving to VFR levels.
Some lower MVFR ceilings could linger through late morning, so included a TEMPO group for MVFR category through 16Z. Higher confidence in VFR thereafter.
KBDL Terminal...High confidence in TAF.
Outlook /Tuesday Night through Friday/...
Tuesday Night: Mainly IFR, with local MVFR possible. Chance SHRA, slight chance TSRA.
Wednesday: Mainly VFR, with local IFR possible. Chance SHRA, slight chance TSRA.
Wednesday Night: VFR.
Juneteenth: VFR. Breezy. Chance SHRA, chance TSRA.
