.SYNOPSIS...
Some radiational fog possible early this morning, but it shouldn`t
be widespread. Today is dry for most, but some isolated showers are
expected in the afternoon and evening with highs in the lower to mid
70s. We then return to dry weather and temperatures near or just
warmer than average through mid week. With a low chance for showers
for coastal parts of southern New England Wednesday night into
Thursday.

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
Key Messages...
* Dry for most with only some isolated showers expected this
  afternoon and evening.
A weak shortwave moves overhead today providing some meager forcing
which may result in a few pop up showers similar to what we saw on
Saturday. Not expecting much rain out of any of these showers, with
QPF amounts of a hundredth of an inch or so the most likely. Thunder
chances have decreased for Sunday as well. The more widespread
result of the shortwave and plume of decent PWATs will be diurnal
cloudcover. Temperatures top out in the upper 70s to low 80s.
Eventually this moisture is pushed south of the region tonight
meaning clearing skies after sunset. The exception will be the
east/southeast coast of MA and RI/eastern CT where low level flow
turning from the northeast overnight will pull in low level moisture
leading to some low stratus and fog overnight.
&&
.SHORT TERM /MONDAY/...
Key Messages...
* Dry and quiet weather.
* Seasonable, if a bit warmer than average temperatures in the 70s
  to low 80s.
The period of overall dry weather continues as surface high pressure
builds over Quebec with mid level ridging overhead. The airmass
overhead is fairly typical for mid September which with the
expected sunshine leads to temperatures once again in the 70s
and low 80s. The coolest spots will be the eastern MA coast
thanks to onshore flow (highs in the low 70s) while the warmest
will be the CT Valley (low 80s).
&&
.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
Key Messages...
* High pressure brings quiet weather much, if not all of next week.
* Temperatures a bit warmer than average for mid September in the
  upper 70s and even low 80s by late week.
Overall a benign stretch of weather upcoming nearly all of next week
under the influence of a broad mid level ridge and surface high
pressure. This keeps rain chances at bay while allowing temperatures
to creep up into the upper 70s/low 80s. At this point the best shot
at some unsettled weather looks to be mid week (late Wed into Thu)
as a weak surface low system comes up the coast and may pass close
enough to bring some rain chances with it. Ensemble guidance places
the highest odds of wetting rain (60-80%) along the south coast as
expected with significantly less chance further inland.
