SYNOPSIS

A warm front brings widely scattered showers tonight followed by much warm weather tomorrow, a couple of showers and/or an isolated thundershower are possible in the interior Tuesday afternoon. Unsettled weather Wednesday through the weekend with more clouds than sun and periods of rain. Seasonable temperatures through the upcoming weekend.

NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/
Update: 3PM

Overall a stunner of an afternoon with many enjoying a sun-filled afternoon while others are stuck beneath diurnal cumulus which developed along the sea-breeze boundary. As these diurnal clouds wane this afternoon, mid and high clouds increase from the west ahead of a warm front. Stepping outside this evening should enjoy temperatures in the low 60s and falling into the upper 50s shortly after sunset. 850mb jet advects higher PWATs between 1.0 and 1.3 inch tonight and with the warm front passing through a few showers possible, though the best forcing looks to be limited to northern Massachusetts and points north into Vermont & New Hampshire. No washouts are expected, QPF is in the neighborhood of a few hundredths of an inch. South to southwest winds overnight are less than 10 mph. Nighttime lows are on either side of 50 degrees.

SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM TUESDAY/
Update: 3PM

A warm and summer-like head is on tap! With the passage of the warm front Monday night, we are placed in the warm sector. Clouds from overnight do linger across northern Massachusetts, but will give way to partly sunny skies and fairly mild temperatures. Deep southwest flow usher in warmer and a more humid air mass. 925mb temperatures climb to +14C to +18C and BUFKIT shows a well mixed boundary layer tomorrow, highs will easily climb into the middle 70s away from the coast. It's not out of the question a few spots like the Merrimack and Connecticut River Valley top out around 80 degrees. Back to the coast, the southwest flow is an onshore wind for coastal Rhode Island and southeast Massachusetts, here the temperature Tuesday afternoon only reaches the upper 60s and low 70s. Southwest winds become gusty as well, 15 to 25 mph. Shower are limited to northwest Massachusetts during the late afternoon where the best moisture and instability are located. HRRR ensembles have roughly 500-1000 units of MUCAPE along and west of the Berkshires, so it's possible there may be an iso. non severe thunderstorm. Rain chances expand throughout the overnight hours with a mid-level trough and frontal boundary approaching from the west. Winds ease overnight becoming more south less than 10 mph. Night lows fall into the middle and upper 50s.

LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/
Update: 3PM

Highlights

* Unsettled weather Wednesday through the weekend with more clouds than sun and periods of rain

* Seasonable temperatures through the weekend

Wednesday and Thursday

A coastal low pressure system will pass well south of southern New England during the day Wednesday. Nonetheless, modest synoptic forcing and PWATs greater than 1 inch should support periods of rain during the day Wednesday. Accumulations will be modest with the strongest forcing to our south, but somewhere between 0.1 and 0.25 inches between Wednesday and Thursday morning should be in the cards for portions of southern New England. Downstream blocking has resulted in model guidance trending toward a slower departure of this system with cloud cover and showers lingering into the first half of Thursday for much of the forecast area. A mid-level ridge building in from the west may salvage a partly sunny day for the western areas on Thursday afternoon. Expect somewhat gusty southwest winds on Wednesday with northeast gusts along the east coast on Thursday.

Friday through the weekend

The forecast remains unsettled late week through the weekend. As the mid-week coastal low departs over the Atlantic Friday afternoon, a short-wave dropping down from The Great Lakes will support the development of another surface low-pressure system that is likely to bring cloudiness and periods of rain to southern New England this weekend. Confidence in timing, duration, and intensity of potential rainfall is low at this time so we have leaned on the NBM for guidance at this time range. Temperatures look to be seasonably persistent through the weekend with daily lows in the low to mid 50s and daily highs ranging from the low 60s to low 70s. Coastal locations continue to run cooler with highs in the upper 50s/low 60s more common on days with onshore flow.
