MLEWhat forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Boston/Norton, MA wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jun 10, 7:06 PM EDT, 3 hours 43 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jun 10, 7:06 PM EDT, 3 hours 43 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA 706 PM EDT TUE JUN 10 2008 .SYNOPSIS... A COLD FRONT WILL BE ACCOMPANIED BY SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TONIGHT AND BRING AN END TO THE RECORD BREAKING HEAT. DRY AND MORE SEASONABLE WEATHER WILL FOLLOW WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...ALTHOUGH TEMPERATURES WILL STILL BE A BIT ABOVE NORMAL. ANOTHER COLD FRONT MAY BRING A ROUND OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO THE REGION SOMETIME LATER SATURDAY INTO EARLY SUNDAY BUT TIMING IS UNCERTAIN THIS FAR OUT. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING/... SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 503 IN EFFECT FOR WESTERN MASSACHUSETTS...HARTFORD COUNTY CONNECTICUT AND CHESHIRE COUNTY NEW HAMPSHIRE. UPDATED HOURLY TEMPERATURES AND DEWPOINTS...BUT WITH LITTLE CHANGE TO THE REMAINDER OF CURRENT FORECAST. CLUSTER OF THUNDERSTORMS IN PENNSYLVANIA IS QUICKLY EXPANDING NORTHEAST AND SHOULD REACH WESTERN ZONES AFTER 8 PM. PLS IGNORE THE BAF NOON 99F AND 108HI. TECH WAS WORKING ON THE SYSTEM. HI GENERALLY MAXED WITHIN 2F OF 101 THIS AFTN. ASH AWOS WAS 105 AT 18Z. GHG TD SEEMS INCORRECT AND CONTRIBUTING TO A VERY HI 5PM HI. PNS POSTED ON THE EARLY SEASON SCORCHING HEAT. SVR: WE ANTICIPATE SVR ARRIVING FM THE WSW ACROSS THE BERKS ARD 8 PM AND DYING AS IT REACHES NE MASS COAST ARD 05Z-06Z...POSSIBLY AS SHOWERS ISOLATED TSTMS WITH GUST 40 KTS AT BOS HARBOR. COOLER BL AIR MOVING NNE FM SRN CT INTO RI AND SE MASS LATE THIS EVE SHOULD REDUCE SVR RISK SE NEW ENGLAND. GOOD CHANCE A CLUSTER OR TWO OF DAMAGING TSTMS THRU THE CT RVR VALLEY INTO THE ORH HILLS THIS EVENING AS PER HWO AND OUR FCST GRIDS. TEMPS AND DEWS WERE MODIFIED TO REALITY THRU THIS EVE AND THEN GFS MAVMOSGUIDE LATE. && .SHORT TERM /6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/... GFS MAVMOSGUIDE WITH SUSTAINED WINDS SPLIT 50/50 USING 12Z MOS FM NAM AND GFS. RAISED GFS MAVMOSGUIDE TEMPS IN DRY WNW BL FLOW WITH BRILLIANT DUSTY SS ONCE AGAIN...VALLEYS AND COASTAL PLAIN 20 DEGS WARMER THAN THE PREVAILING 1000-500MB GUIDANCE. THIS IS CLOSE TO THE 4AM KBOX FCST. GUSTS FROM THE NAM MXG HTS AND GFS GUST ALG. BASICALLY BEAUTIFUL WEATHER THIS 24 HOUR PERIOD AND HEAT INDEX 15F COOLER WED NW WINDS WILL BE GUSTY TO 20 KTS DURING THE EARLY MORNING HOURS WED JUST AFTER SUNRISE. && .LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... THURSDAY...MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES WILL RESULT IN A BEAUTIFUL JUNE DAY FOR SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND. DRY NORTHWEST FLOW SHOULD ALLOW FOR A WELL MIXED ATMOSPHERE AND COMFORTABLE HUMIDITY LEVELS. WITH THE STRONG JUNE SUNSHINE WILL FOLLOW THE WARMER GFS GUIDANCE. HIGHS ACROSS MUCH OF THE REGION SHOULD BE IN THE 80 TO 85 DEGREE RANGE ALTHOUGH IT WILL BE A FEW DEGREES COOLER ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE CAPE AND ISLANDS WITH THE MARINE INFLUENCE. THURSDAY NIGHT...PARTLY TO MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES EXPECTED WITH JUST A BIT OF HIGH CLOUDINESS POSSIBLE. OTHERWISE...DIMINISHING WIND AND LOWER DEWPOINTS SHOULD ALLOW TEMPERATURES TO FALL QUICKLY DURING THE EVENING. OVERNIGHT LOW TEMPERATURES SHOULD FALL INTO THE COOL MID TO UPPER 40S ACROSS THE OUTLYING LOCATIONS OF SOUTHWEST MA/NORTHWEST MA...TO MAINLY THE 50S ELSEWHERE. FRIDAY...PARTLY TO MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES WILL ALLOW FOR ANOTHER GORGEOUS DAY ALTHOUGH IT WILL BE A FEW DEGREES WARMER THAN THURSDAY. UPPER LEVEL RIDGE BUILDING BACK OVER OUR REGION COMBINING WITH INCREASING SOUTHWEST SURFACE WINDS WILL ALLOW FOR HIGH TEMPERATURES TO RECOVER BACK INTO THE MID TO UPPER 80S AWAY FROM THE IMMEDIATE COAST. THE MARINE INFLUENCE SHOULD KEEP HIGHS ALONG THE IMMEDIATE COAST IN THE 70S...TO NEAR 80. HAVE FOLLOWED WARMER MAV NUMBERS AS THE ATMOSPHERE SHOULD BE FAIRLY WELL MIXED. FRIDAY NIGHT...PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES AND WARMING MID LEVEL TEMPERATURES SHOULD HOLD OVERNIGHT LOWS NEAR THE MEX GUIDANCE NUMBERS...MAINLY IN THE LOWER 60S. WITH INCREASING DEWPOINTS WE MAY SEE A BIT OF PATCHY FOG ALONG THE SOUTH COAST/CAPE AND ISLANDS AS WELL AS THE TYPICALLY PRONE LOCATIONS. SATURDAY AND SUNDAY...A COLD FRONT LOOKS TO APPROACH THE REGION SOMETIME SATURDAY AFTERNOON OR NIGHT. SOUTHWEST FLOW AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT SHOULD PUSH HIGH TEMPERATURES ABOVE MEX GUIDANCE WITH THE DOWNSLOPE AND SUPPORT OF GFS 2 METER TEMPERATURE FORECASTS. HIGHS SHOULD REACH WELL INTO THE 80S AWAY FROM THE SOUTH COAST...CAPE AND ISLANDS. AS FOR PRECIPITATION CHANCES...TIMING IS UNCERTAIN THIS FAR OUT. HOWEVER...WILL GO FOR A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE INTERIOR SATURDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING AS THE COLD FRONT APPROACHES. WE THEN WILL BRING AN AREAS OF SHOWERS AND PERHAPS A FEW THUNDERSTORMS TOWARDS THE COAST SATURDAY EVENING OR NIGHT. THE ACTIVITY WILL LIKELY BE IN A WEAKENING STATE AS IT APPROACHES THE COASTAL PLAIN WITH SOUTHWEST FLOW ALLOWING FOR A MARINE INFLUENCE. AT THIS TIME...IT LOOKS LIKE ANY SHOWER ACTIVITY SHOULD BE OUT OF THE REGION BY SUNDAY MORNING ALLOWING FOR A DRY SUNDAY. HOWEVER...TIMING THIS FAR OUT IS UNCERTAIN AND WILL HAVE TO WATCH IN CASE THE FRONT SLOWS UP. MONDAY AND TUESDAY...QUITE A BIT OF MODEL DISCREPANCY THIS FAR OUT. THE ECMWF/UKMET SHOW THAT MONDAY COULD BE QUITE A WARM DAY AWAY FROM THE MARINE INFLUENCE WITH SOUTHWEST FLOW AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT. THIS IS ESPECIALLY TRUE ON THE ECMWF MODEL WHICH HAS 850 MB TEMPERATURES BETWEEN +18C AND +19C MONDAY AFTERNOON. MEANWHILE...THE GFS/CANADIAN HAD MUCH LOWER HEIGHTS AND COOLER TEMPERATURES. LEANED TOWARDS THE WARMER SOLUTION AND RAISED MEX HIGHS ON MONDAY WELL INTO THE 80S AWAY FROM THE MARINE INFLUENCE. THE GFS MOVES THE COLD FRONT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT...WHILE THE ECMWF HAS IT HUNG UP ACROSS THE REGION TUESDAY MORNING. PLENTY OF UNCERTAINTY...SO WILL CARRY 25 TO 30 POPS MONDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH TUESDAY AFTERNOON FOR A CHANCE OF A FEW SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS WITH THE FRONT. SINCE THE FRONT MAY MOVE SLOWER THAN THE GFS SHOWS...WE DID INCREASE MEX GUIDANCE HIGHS A TAD ON TUESDAY. && .AVIATION /00Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/... TONIGHT...NUMEROUS TSTMS BDL/BAF 00Z-06Z WITH ISOLATED TSTMS FARTHER EAST BOS/PVD. MVFR WITH ANY STORMS ALONG WITH POSSIBLY GUSTY WINDS AND HAIL.

OUTLOOK...THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY... THURSDAY AND FRIDAY...VFR CONDITIONS BUT THERE COULD BE A BIT OF LOCALIZED IFR/MVFR LATE FRIDAY NIGHT IN FOG PATCHES. SATURDAY AND SUNDAY...MAINLY VFR BUT A COLD FRONT WILL PROBABLY BRING A PERIOD OF SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO THE REGION SOMETIME LATER SATURDAY INTO EARLY SUNDAY. THIS WILL PROBABLY RESULT IN A PERIOD OF IFR/MVFR CONDITIONS TO SOME TERMINALS. && .MARINE... TONIGHT... WEAKENING TSTMS APPROACHING FROM THE WEST AROUND 05Z.

SHARP HORIZON WITH A NEW AIRMASS OVER NEW ENGLAND. OUTLOOK...THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY... GENERALLY QUIET ACROSS THE WATERS OVER THIS TIME. SOUTHWEST FLOW AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT MAY RESULT IN MARGINAL 5 FOOT SEAS LATER SATURDAY INTO PART OF SUNDAY. HOWEVER...WITH INVERSION OVER THE WATERS LOWERED AND SLOWED DOWN WNA GUIDANCE WAVE HEIGHTS. WE MAY ALSO DEAL WITH FOG PATCHES OVER THE WATERS THIS WEEKEND WITH SOUTHWEST FLOW TRANSPORTING SOME LOW LEVEL MOISTURE OVER THE REGION. && .CLIMATE... RECORD HIGHS FOR TODAY...
