The radar
The Albany radar (KENX), 105 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 23:40 UTC, the scan nearest the moment this went out.

The archived warnings, watches and discussions in force at that minute are drawn over the scan, this one among them.
Did it verify
Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this severe thunderstorm warning while it was in force. That is not proof nothing happened: reports are thin where few people live.
Cow counts a report within 15 km of the polygon while the warning was in force: a tornado for a tornado warning; hail of 1 inch or more, a gust of 58 mph or more or wind damage for a severe thunderstorm warning; a flash flood report for a flash flood warning.
The nearest sounding before it
Albany, NY (KALY), launched 12:00Z, 11.6 hours before the alert went out and 98 km from the middle of its area. This is the routine balloon launch nearest before it, the air the forecaster had in hand, not a measurement taken for the alert.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
706 PM EDT WED SEP 3 2008
.SYNOPSIS...
INCREASINGLY WARM AND HUMID CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED FOR THE REST OF
THE WORK WEEK. HANNA...OR ITS REMNANTS WILL AFFECT SOUTHERN NEW
ENGLAND THIS WEEKEND WITH HEAVY RAINFALL AND GUSTY WINDS. A COLD
FRONT WILL CROSS THE REGION TUESDAY.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THURSDAY MORNING/...
MINOR ADJUSTMENT TO HOURLY TEMPERATURES AND DEWPOINTS...OTHERWISE
LITTLE CHANGE TO THE FORECAST. PLEASE REFER TO THE LATEST LOCAL
STORM REPORT PRODUCT FOR TODAYS STORM REPORTS.
PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
ISOLD CONVECTION DEVELOPING OVER BERKSHIRES THIS AFTERNOON IN MAIN
INSTABILITY AXIS...WITH MORE ACTIVITY TO THE NORTH OVER THE GREEN
MOUNTAINS. GFS INSTABILITY PARAMETERS ARE FAVORABLE FOR A FEW
SHOWERS AND POSSIBLY ISOLD TSTM FOR MAINLY W ZONES INTO EARLY THIS
EVENING. OTHERWISE...EXPECT MOCLR SKIES TONIGHT AS DIURNAL CU
ERODES AND SC OVER OUTER CAPE MOVES EWD. OCEAN STORM WILL CONTINUE
TO MOVE EWD TONIGHT AND LOSE ITS GRIP ON CAPE/ISLANDS AND WINDS WILL
DIMINISH. PATCHY LATE NIGHT FOG EXPECTED.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
COLD FRONT FORECAST TO MOVE SOUTH INTO NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND DURING
THU BUT REMAIN TO THE NORTH OF BOX CWA THROUGH THE DAY. VERY WARM
AND INCREASINGLY HUMID CONDITIONS WILL MOVE INTO SNE THU AHEAD OF
THE FRONT AS UPPER RIDGE BUILDS OVER NEW ENG. 850 TEMPS INCREASE TO
+17C SUGGESTING MANY LOCATIONS AWAY FROM THE SOUTH COAST WILL REACH
INTO THE UPPER 80S WITH A FEW INTERIOR SPOTS APPROACHING 90. SW
FLOW WILL KEEP THE SOUTH COAST A BIT COOLER.
INSTABILITY PARAMETERS ARE VERY MARGINAL AND WARMING TEMPS ALOFT
WITH 500 MB TEMPS INCREASING TO -6C SHOULD KEEP ATMOSPHERE
CAPPED...SO NO POPS IN THE FORECAST. MOISTURE CROSS SECTIONS DO
INDICATE SOME MID/HIGH CLOUDS WILL FILTER THE SUNSHINE...ESPECIALLY
N OF THE PIKE.
THU NIGHT...COLD FRONT DROPS INTO NORTH PORTION OF BOX CWA BUT
LIKELY REMAINING ALONG OR NORTH OF THE PIKE BEFORE LIFTING BACK
NORTHWARD DURING FRI. EXPECT SOME CLOUD COVER BUT IT SHOULD REMAIN
MOSTLY DRY AS BEST MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY...ALBEIT WEAK...IS
LOCATED TO THE NORTH.
&&
.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
FRIDAY...DRY AND WARM DAY EXPECTED WITH INCREASING HUMIDITY AS
BOUNDARY LAYER FLOW SHIFTS TO THE SOUTH. EXPECT HIGHS GENERALLY IN
THE 80S WITH DEWPOINTS RISING THROUGH THE 60S. THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE
WILL REMAIN PROMINENT ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND. GIVEN SUBSIDENCE
AND WARM TEMPERATURES ALOFT...WILL LEAVE OUT ANY MENTION OF POPS AT
THIS TIME.
FRIDAY NIGHT...THE 12Z GFS DEVELOPS AN INVERTED TROUGH ACROSS SOUTHERN
NEW ENGLAND OVERNIGHT. THIS IS THE LEADING EDGE OF HIGHER PRECIPITABLE
WATER AIR AHEAD OF HANNA. LATEST 12Z ECMWF AND THE NAM INDICATE THIS
FEATURE AS WELL...ALTHOUGH WITH SOME SLOWER DEVELOPMENT. DECIDED TO
INCREASE POPS TO CHANCE NORTH AND LIKELY SOUTH PRIOR TO DAYBREAK.
LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL COULD OCCUR APPROACHING DAYBREAK.
SATURDAY AND SUNDAY...ATTENTION TURNS TO HANNA AS IT BEGINS TO TRACK
NORTH ALONG THE EASTERN SEABOARD. RECENT TRENDS HAVE BROUGHT ITS
TRACK A BIT FURTHER EAST. GFS ENSEMBLES ARE BECOMING A BIT MORE
CONVERGENT ON BRINGING HANNA ACROSS THE COASTAL WATERS SATURDAY NIGHT
AND SUNDAY MORNING ALONG THE H85 THETA-E RIDGE AXIS. HANNA APPEARS TO
MAINTAIN MUCH OF ITS TROPICAL CHARACTERISTICS AS MID LEVEL TO UPPER
TEMPERATURES REMAIN FAIRLY WARM NEARING THE SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND
LATITUDE. RIGHT NOW IT APPEARS TWO ROUNDS OF SIGNIFICANT PRECIPITATION
COULD OCCUR LATE FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY MORNING AND AGAIN SATURDAY
NIGHT AND SUNDAY MORNING WITH HANNA. STILL SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES
IN TIMING OCCUR BETWEEN THE FASTER 12Z GFS AND SLOWER 12Z ECMWF SO
THIS COULD CHANGE. OVERALL USED A BLEND OF THE 12Z GFS AND ECMWF
WHICH SEEMED REASONABLY CLOSE TO TPC GUIDANCE. POPULATED WITH TCMAT3
WIND GUIDANCE AND UNDERCUT SPEEDS BY ABOUT 25 PERCENT AND DID SOME
SMOOTHING. PLEASE SEE THE HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK ON POTENTIAL
LOCAL IMPACTS AND TROPICAL PREDICTION CENTER DISCUSSIONS FOR FURTHER
DETAILS ON HANNA. ADJUSTMENTS IN TIMING AND PLACEMENT WILL BE NEEDED
IN LATER SHIFTS.
MONDAY AND TUESDAY...SHOULD BE DRY FOR A TIME SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY.
OTHERWISE CONTINUED CHANCE POPS MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY AS A COLD
FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE WEST. THE NORTHEAST IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN
WITHIN A NEGATIVE HEIGHT ANOMALY. SOME TIMING DIFFERENCES EXIST
REGARDING THE TIMING OF PRECIPITATION.
WEDNESDAY...DECIDED TO KEEP DRY CONDITIONS AT THIS TIME...WITH HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDING INTO SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND AND THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH
LIFTING NORTHEAST OF THE REGION.
&&
.AVIATION /23Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
MVFR CIGS AT ACK WILL SLOWLY PULL EWD WITH VFR CONDITIONS 20-21Z.
