EVTWhat forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this special weather statement 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 special weather statement went out at Jul 1, 5:14 PM EDT, 1 hour 10 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jul 1, 5:14 PM EDT, 1 hour 10 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA 514 PM EDT SUN JUL 1 2012 .SYNOPSIS... SCATTERED STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL AFFECT AREAS SOUTH OF THE MA TURNPIKE THIS EVENING. OTHERWISE...IT WILL BE A VERY WARM WEEK...WITH HOT AND HUMID WEATHER RETURNING TOWARDS THE END OF THE WEEK. SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL OCCUR AT TIMES...ESPECIALLY JULY 4TH AND NEXT SATURDAY. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM MONDAY MORNING/... SCATTERED STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WERE IN PROGRESS LATE THIS AFTERNOON TO THE SOUTH OF THE MA TURNPIKE...ACROSS NORTHERN CT...FAR SOUTHWEST AND SOUTH CENTRAL MA. THE MAIN THREATS WILL BE ISOLATED STRONG TO DAMAGING WINDS GUSTS/ AND LARGE HAIL. THIS ACTIVITY IS BEING GENERATED ON A WEAK SURFACE COLD FRONT...COMBINED WITH MLCAPES OF 1500 J/KG AND SHEAR OF 30 TO 35 KNOTS. EXPANDED THE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH TO INCLUDE RI/SOUTHEAST MA THROUGH 8 PM. SHOULD SEE THE ACTIVITY WIND DOWN LATER THIS EVENING BEHIND THE COLD FRONT. THE REST OF THE OVERNIGHT HOURS SHOULD BE DRY...BUT CAN/T RULE OUT A BRIEF SPOT SHOWER/THUNDERSTORM IN OUR NORTHERN/EASTERN ZONES SO WILL MAINTAIN SLIGHT CHANCE POPS. && .SHORT TERM /6 AM MONDAY MORNING THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/... MONDAY... A SHORTWAVE DIVING DOWN IN NORTHWEST FLOW AND COMBINE WITH MODERATE INSTABILITY. THIS SHOULD GENERATE ISOLATED TO SCATTERED AFTERNOON/EVENING SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS. AREAL COVERAGE A BIT UNCERTAIN...BUT MAIN FOCUS SHOULD BE IN OUR NORTHERN AND EASTERN ZONES CLOSER TO A WEAK BACKDOOR COLD FRONT. CAN/T RULE OUT A FEW STRONG STORMS IN EASTERN MA/RHODE ISLAND...BUT INSTABILITY AND WIND FIELDS ARE NOT EXPECTED TO BE AS STRONG AS TODAY. HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL MAINLY BE IN THE LOWER TO MIDDLE 80S. MONDAY NIGHT.... A FEW LEFT OVER SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD COME TO AN END EARLY IN THE EVENING. OTHERWISE...EXPECT MAINLY DRY WEATHER OVERNIGHT AS HIGH PRESSURE TRIES TO BUILD IN FROM THE WEST. && .LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/... HIGHLIGHTS... * VERY WARM PERIOD...WITH INCREASING HEAT AND HUMIDITY BY FRI * SCATTERED STRONG THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE JULY 4TH SYNOPTIC OVERVIEW... POLAR JET WILL BE ANCHORED ACROSS NORTHERN TIER CONUS FROM GT LAKES TO NEW ENG THROUGH MIDWEEK. A FEW SHORTWAVES MOVING THROUGH THE NW FLOW ALOFT WILL AFFECT THE REGION...BUT AS IS TYPICALLY THE CASE IN THIS TYPE OF PATTERN...TIMING OF THESE IMPULSES WITH RESPECT TO DIURNAL HEATING IS A CHALLENGE AND WILL DETERMINE THE EXTENT OF ANY CONVECTION. LATEST GUIDANCE SUGGESTS WED JULY 4TH COULD BE AN ACTIVE DAY. THE POLAR JET IS FORECAST TO LIFT TO THE NORTH TOWARD THE END OF THE WEEK INTO THE WEEKEND WITH A PIECE OF THE MIDWEST HEAT AND HUMIDITY MOVING INTO NEW ENG AS SUBTROPICAL RIDGE BUILDS EAST. THE RIDGE IS EXPECTED TO BREAK DOWN AND GET SUPPRESSED TO THE SOUTH LATE IN THE WEEKEND AS SHORTWAVE ENERGY RIDES OVER THE TOP WITH THE POLAR JET BECOMING RE-ESTABLISHED OVER NEW ENG. DEPENDING ON THE TIMING OF THE ASSOCD COLD FRONT... THUNDERSTORMS ARE ALSO POSSIBLE SATURDAY. TUESDAY... WARM ADVECTION COMMENCES TUE BUT BEST INSTABILITY AND MOISTURE WILL REMAIN TO THE WEST. HAVE KEPT A DRY FORECAST. EXPECTING MAX TEMPS IN THE MID TO UPPER 80S. TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY...WARM ADVECTION CONTINUES TUE NIGHT AHEAD OF APPROACHING WARM FRONT. MODELS INDICATE INCREASING LOW LEVEL THETA-E AIR ADVECTING INTO THE REGION FROM THE WEST WITH DECREASING SWI TUE NIGHT WHICH SIGNALS POTENTIAL FOR SOME SHOWERS/TSTMS. A MESOSCALE CONVECTIVE SYSTEM...OR MCS...IS POSSIBLE BUT LOCATION/TRACK IS UNCERTAIN. WE HAVE CHC POPS FAR W ZONES WITH SLIGHT CHC FARTHER E FOR TUE NIGHT. WEDNESDAY... SHOULD BE AN ACTIVE DAY ACROSS SNE AS SHORTWAVE AND ASSOCD COLD FRONT MOVES INTO THE REGION LATE IN THE DAY. HAVE UPPED POPS TO 50 PERCENT RANGE FOR NOW. SBCAPES FORECAST TO INCREASE TO 2000-3000 J/KG AND MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES ARE 6-7 C/KM WHICH IS QUITE FAVORABLE. NAM IS MOST IMPRESSIVE...WITH 30 TO 40 KT OF 0-6 KM BULK SHEAR BUT NCEP NOTES THAT IT MAY BE OVERDONE IN THE AMPLITUDE OF THE TROUGH. NEVERTHELESS...THE GFS IS STILL VERY UNSTABLE AND THERE SHOULD BE ABUNDANT CONVECTION DURING THE DAY. ONE FACTOR THAT COULD MINIMIZE THREAT IS THE POTENTIAL FOR ABUNDANT CLOUD COVER AND SHOWERS IN THE MORNING WITH ANY REMNANT MCS WHICH WOULD LIMIT INSTABILITY AT LEAST INITIALLY. THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR 90 DEGREE TEMPS IN THE INTERIOR IF THERE IS ENOUGH SUNSHINE. HAVE HELD TEMPS JUST BELOW 90 DUE TO UNCERTAINTY IN THE AMOUNT OF SUNSHINE. WITH SO MANY OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES ON JULY 4...EVERYONE SHOULD BE PREPARED TO KEEP AN EYE TO THE SKY AND BE PREPARED TO MOVE INDOORS IF THUNDER IS HEARD. THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...MIDWEST SUBTROPICAL RIDGE WILL EXPAND EAST THROUGH THE PERIOD WHICH WILL BRING A PIECE OF THE MIDWEST HEAT AND HUMIDITY INTO SNE...ESPECIALLY FRI AND SAT. INCREASING TEMPS EXPECTED FROM THU THROUGH SAT WITH TEMPS REACHING WELL INTO THE 90S BY SAT AS 850 MB TEMPS INCREASE TO 20-22C. MAINLY DRY WEATHER EXPECTED THU AND FRI...AS 500 MB TEMPS AND 700 MB TEMPS APPEAR TOO WARM FOR CONVECTION TO FORM DESPITE VERY HIGH CAPES. THIS WILL NEED TO BE WATCHED. THERE IS A BETTER CHANCE OF TSTMS SAT AND SAT NIGHT AS COLD FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE N. SUNDAY...ASSUMING THAT THE FRONT HAS CLEARED THE SOUTHEAST PORTIONS OF THE AREA AROUND DAYBREAK... IT SHOULD BE A SUNNY AND WARM DAY AS HIGH PRESSURE STRETCHES EASTWARD ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND FROM THE LOWER GREAT LAKES AND OHIO VALLEY. && .AVIATION /21Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/... FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS... LOW...LESS THAN 30 PERCENT MODERATE...30 PERCENT TO 60 PERCENT HIGH...GREATER THAN 60 PERCENT OVERVIEW...MODERATE TO HIGH CONFIDENCE. SCATTERED STRONG THUNDERSTORMS SOUTH OF THE MA TURNPIKE THIS EVENING WILL RESULT IN BRIEF IFR TO LIFR CONDITIONS IN SOME LOCATIONS. OTHERWISE...THIS ACTIVITY SHOULD MOVE OFF THE COAST LATER TONIGHT RESULTING IN MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS OTHER THAN A TOUCH OF PATCHY GROUND FOG. MAINLY VFR MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT...OTHER THAN A FEW SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS THAT ARE POSSIBLE...MAINLY IN OUR NORTHERN AND EASTERN ZONES. PATCHY GROUND FOG IN THE TYPICALLY PRONE LOCATIONS WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE KBOS TAF...MODERATE TO HIGH CONFIDENCE IN TAF. A FEW SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE ON MONDAY. KBDL TAF...MODERATE TO HIGH CONFIDENCE IN TAF. A FEW SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE ON MONDAY. OUTLOOK...TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY... MODERATE CONFIDENCE.

WINDS AND SEAS WILL REMAIN BELOW SCA THRESHOLDS WITH A WEAK PRESSURE GRADIENT IN PLACE. THE MAIN CONCERN WILL BE FOR SCATTERED STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS THIS EVENING. THESE STORMS MAY CONTAIN DANGEROUS CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING...GUSTY WINDS AND HAIL. A FEW THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE ACROSS THE EASTERN WATERS ON MONDAY...BUT THEY PROBABLY WON/T BE AS STRONG AS WHAT WE ARE SEEING LATE THIS AFTERNOON.. OUTLOOK...TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY... MODERATE TO HIGH CONFIDENCE. WINDS AND SEAS ARE FORECAST TO REMAIN BELOW SCA THRESHOLDS THROUGH THE PERIOD WITH GENERALLY WEAK PRESSURE GRADIENT IN PLACE.
