Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Boston/Norton MA
127 AM EDT Tue Sep 23 2025
.SYNOPSIS...
Dry weather continues until the chance for some unsettled
weather returns late tomorrow afternoon through Wednesday.
Temperatures should also average about normal this week, with
the exception of above normal temperatures Tuesday. Potential
for a more widespread rainfall event Thursday and Friday.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THIS MORNING/...
Key Messages:
* Mild night with increased cloud cover.
High pressure moves offshore, and S/SW winds usher in higher
PWATs of 1.5" and result in increased cloud cover tonight.
Temperatures lower into the middle 50s to 60F.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM THIS MORNING THROUGH 6 PM WEDNESDAY/...
Key Messages:
* Mild temperatures along with elevated humidity Tuesday. Mainly dry
day, with showers by late afternoon to early evening into the
overnight.
Continued S/SW flow leads to a muggy and warm first full day of fall
as the high temperatures reach the mid-70s to 80F. PWATs of 1.6"
support a muggy feel with dew points in the middle 60s.
In general much of the day is dry, shortwave energy approaches
late afternoon to early evening across western areas, providing
forcing for showers and rumbles of thunder. Conditions are not
favorable for severe thunderstorms given the late arrival (close
to sunset), the meager instability and low shear values. CAPE
is only a few hundred units and the shear is less than 20 knots,
biggest threat likely lightning and sub-severe gusts. Areas
that have the greatest chance of a storm, are across the
interior of southern New England where a few hundred units of
CAPE can be found.
Overnight the shortwave pushes east with shower activity. A mild
night ahead is expected with the S/SW flow and cloud cover. Lows
only fall to the low and middle 60s.
&&
.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
Key Messages:
* Rainfall chances continue into Wednesday
* The pattern remains unsettled through the rest of this week
A low pressure traversing along a cold front will maintain rainfall
chances into Wednesday. There could be a brief lull in this rainfall
during the afternoon into the late evening hours before another low
pressure moves along this same front and increases rainfall chances
once more sometime Wednesday Night into Thursday. It appears that
rainfall chances end sometime this weekend as a cold front finally
moves across our region and we come under the influence of a high
pressure over the central Appalachians.
While it will likely not be raining the entire time from Wednesday
to Saturday morning, there is a 50-70% probability most locations
can get an inch or more of rainfall during this time. Odds are less
for 2 or more inches of rainfall, generally between 20-40%. As dry
as we have been lately, we can really use whatever rain we can get.
Temperatures should average near to slightly above normal for this
portion of the forecast.
