The upcoming weekend is going to be characterized by ridging
aloft. Sprawling surface high pressure will build to the west
Saturday and then settle south of the region Sunday and Monday.
Heights could flatten aloft on Monday as a northern stream
shortwave may begin approaching. Temperatures on Saturday will
be below normal in the low 40s and then warm above normal Sunday
into Monday. Highs on Monday should end up back in the 50s and
possibly 60s in the normal warmer locations.
No worries at all according to upton
winter
Very mild start to the morning with many locations in the low 50s at
3 am across RI and eastern MA! With not much of an airmass change
and model soundings supporting mixing up to 850 mb or just below
high temps today should easily rise into the upper 50s to lower 60s
along with a low prob of mid 60s. These values are very close to
record highs for the day. See climate section below for details.
Given the very mild start sided with the warmest guidance to derive
high temps today. In addition MOS will have a cool bias with this
anomalous airmass given cool season equations still used this
month. Normal high for today, 40-45.
Yeah, that ggem would be ideal. Crush SE areas that need it and have done without all winter, and just nusciance snows here and back into the interior. Too bad it's the ggem but within the envelope of possibilities
