What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this small craft advisory 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 small craft advisory went out at Jul 2, 1:48 AM EDT, 1 hour 38 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jul 2, 1:48 AM EDT, 1 hour 38 minutes before

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Taunton MA
148 AM EDT SAT JUL 2 2016

.SYNOPSIS...

Isolated thunderstorms across western MA were falling apart very
early this morning, so expect the cold front to come through dry in
most locations by daybreak. High pressure builds in behind the front
and dry and very warm weather through much of next week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THIS MORNING/...

145 am update...

Scattered showers/iso thunderstorms rapidly weakening across western
MA/northern CT.  This a result mid level dry air and limited
instability.  Activity will probably not make it past the Worcester
Hills, but will continue to monitor.

Otherwise, may see patchy ground fog develop over the next few hours
in the typically prone locations.  Temps should generally remain in
the 60s through daybreak.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THIS MORNING THROUGH 6 PM SUNDAY/...
Saturday...
Mostly sunny and dry conditions with dry westerly flow in place.
850 mb temps 10-12C support highs in the upper 70s to lower 80s.
A refreshing airmass as dewpoints will drop into the upper 40s
and 50s. It will become a bit breezy with gusts 20-25 mph.

Saturday night...
A quiet night with mainly clear skies and diminishing wind. With
very dry airmass in place it will be a cool night for July with
mins dropping into the 50s with some upper 40s possible colder
locations in the CT Valley.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
Big Picture...

Upper trough over the Northeast USA Sunday-Monday lifts out through
the Maritimes. Subtropical high covers the southern half of the
country and builds north by midweek.  The GFS and ECMWF have
different magnitudes for 500 mb contour heights midweek but both
show the same trend with above normal values for July. The GGEM is
more of an outlier.

Details...

Sunday-Monday...

Upper trough and cold pool with Vertical Totals 26-27C, but cloud
moisture limited to a layer either side of 800 mb. Could be diurnal
clouds but no showers.  Mixing reaches to at least 800 mb each day
with temps at that level supporting max sfc temps in the Low to Mid
80s.

Tuesday through Friday...

Upper ridge builds. The broad area of subsidence will allow dry
weather with plenty of sun each day. Mixing will reach above 850 mb,
supporting max sfc temps in the upper 80s and lower 90s. An
approaching cold front may bring a chance of showers Friday although
a west-to-east flow may hamper southward progress of any cold front.

&&

.AVIATION /06Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS...
LOW...LESS THAN 30 PERCENT
MODERATE...30 PERCENT TO 60 PERCENT
HIGH...GREATER THAN 60 PERCENT

Short Term /through Sunday/...

Today...High confidence.  Sct showers/iso t-storms rapidly falling
apart across western MA/northern CT and should be gone by 8z.
Patchy ground fog and low clouds may result in some
lower cigs/vsbys through about 11z, but may persist a tad longer
across Nantucket.  Otherwise, high confidence in VFR conditions
today.  WNW wind gusts of 20 to 25 knots develop by afternoon.

Tonight and Sunday...High confidence in VFR conditions.  Near shore
southwest wind gusts up to 25 knots develop along the south coast
Sunday afternoon.

KBOS TAF...High confidence in TAF other than risk for patchy ground
fog through 11z.

KBDL TAF...High confidence in TAF.

Outlook /Sunday Night through Wednesday/... High confidence.

VFR through the period. Patchy IFR in fog possible early each
morning.

&&

.MARINE...
Forecaster Confidence Levels.

Low - less than 30 percent.
Moderate - 30 to 60 percent.
High - greater than 60 percent.

Short Term /through Sunday/...High confidence.

Tonight...Pre-frontal southerly wind gusts to 20 kt into this
evening with up to 25 kt NE MA outer coastal waters where seas
expected to reach 5 ft. SCA will continue here. Biggest concern
for mariners is the risk for a few strong thunderstorms this
evening, with the potential for 40+ kt gusts. Patchy fog will
also limit vsby at times.

Saturday and Saturday night...Mainly westerly winds below SCA
thresholds. Gusts up to 20 kt during Sat.

Outlook /Sunday Night through Wednesday/... High confidence.

Winds remain below 25 knots and seas below 5 feet through the
period.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
After showers and sct t-storms this evening, widespread
precipitation looks to be nil over the next 7 days.

High pressure and dry conditions appear to take hold of the region
Saturday, lasting through the much of next week. Much of this time
will be less humid with RH values dropping close to 30 percent for
much of this time. Winds overall appear to be light during this
period.

&&

.BOX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
CT...None.
MA...None.
RI...None.
MARINE...Small Craft Advisory until 4 AM EDT early this morning for
     ANZ250.
