@NWSBostonWhat forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this coastal flood 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 coastal flood statement went out at Jul 13, 1:41 AM EDT, 2 hours 12 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jul 13, 1:41 AM EDT, 2 hours 12 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Boston/Norton MA 141 AM EDT Fri Jul 13 2018 .SYNOPSIS... High pressure brings dry weather with seasonable temperatures and comfortable humidity through Saturday morning. Hit or miss heavy rainers and thunderstorms are possible at times over the weekend into next week. Near or above seasonable conditions throughout. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TODAY/... 10PM Update... No significant changes to the previous forecast. Most of the diurnal clouds have since dissipated across the region, apart from some high level clouds that continue to linger across northern MA. High pressure continues to move eastward over the northeast providing clear and dry conditions through tonight for much of SNE. However, fog remains possible for parts of the region, especially along the coast and SE MA and as onshore winds drop below 5kts. Previous discussion... Main concern revolves around present onshore sea-breezes. Dewpoints have jumped up as high as 10 degrees into the upper 50s, especially around Narragansett Bay. With radiational cooling on tap and forecast lows down into the low to mid 50s for typically prone spots, there is the threat of shallow ground fog for some locations. Per the rapid refresh short-term ensemble, or NARRE, the risk appears greatest for SE-coastal New England where presently dewpoints have risen. Visibility less than 4 miles is entirely possible. Can't rule out issues for some of the Islands especially Marthas Vineyard. && .SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH 6 PM SATURDAY/... Trough moves off to the east of our area while upper ridge moves in. Expect sunny skies and dry weather with another round of diurnal cumulus for the midday and afternoon. The mixed layer once again goes deep, up to 800 mb, tapping similar temperatures to today...thus supporting max sfc temps in the upper 70s to mid 80s inland. Light flow at the surface will again allow sea breezes along the coast with sfc temps in the 70s. Still under the influence of the ridge, we expect quiet weather for Friday night with light surface flow. Temps will cool to between 55 and 65 degrees. && .LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/... */ Highlights... - Weekend hit or miss heavy rainers, thunderstorms - Tuesday sweeping line of heavy rainers, thunderstorms - Late week shot of wet weather - Near or above seasonable conditions throughout */ Overview... Weekend into following week scattered showers and thunderstorms at times. Interrogating the atmosphere, interestingly a phase 5/6 MJO however lately we've seen strong H85 and H2 westerly anomalies for early July over the N Pacific and CONUS, negligible anomalies along the equator. Signals that suggest excessive heat, humidity remain out of our region. More notable is a +2 AO. Dominant polar low with a negative anomaly extending on up through the stratosphere. Take- away are less pronounced trof-dips across the N Hemisphere. So its no surprise ensemble means signal near-zonal flow from the N Pacific through the CONUS with a subtle H5 trof pattern and weak wave action over the E-half of N America into late July. That being said, forecasting a series of sweeping weak disturbances for the foreseeable future. Trailing cold fronts along which we'll see hit or miss heavy rainers, thunderstorms followed by refreshing airmasses. */ Details... The weekend looks busy with hit or miss elements, perhaps Saturday associated with remnant MCS activity that re-flares over-night into Sunday round a dominant SE-CONUS H5 ridge. Better chances of W wet- weather outcomes. While on Sunday a stout H5 trof axis digs in from the N renewing focus. Marginal shear, weak steering flow throughout. Precipitable waters up to 2-inches. Watching K-indices, high values of theta-E. Hit or miss, heavy rainers and thunderstorms, perhaps gusty winds. Over the week, another sweeping cold front Tuesday, more pronounced, perhaps late. SW inflow of decent moisture, instability. Marginal shear, however good lift and forcing, seemingly better chances of widespread outcomes rather than hit or miss. Looking like a line of convective outcomes. Another round of wet-weather by the end of the week. Further out in time, a low confidence forecast however looking like Friday impacts. && .AVIATION /06Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... Forecaster Confidence Levels... Low - less than 30 percent. Moderate - 30 to 60 percent. High - greater than 60 percent. Short Term /through Saturday/...High confidence. VFR with sct-bkn 6-10 kft cigs developing today and Sat. A few showers or t-storms may develop across western MA Sat afternoon with brief lower conditions. Patchy late night radiation fog possible at normally prone locations. Sea breezes developing today and Sat. KBOS Terminal...High confidence. Sea breeze developing by 15z. KBDL Terminal...High confidence. Outlook /Saturday Night through Tuesday/... Saturday Night: VFR. Slight chance SHRA, slight chance TSRA. Sunday: VFR. Chance SHRA, chance TSRA. Sunday Night: VFR. Slight chance SHRA, slight chance TSRA. Monday through Monday Night: VFR. Tuesday: Mainly VFR, with local MVFR possible. Breezy. Chance SHRA, chance TSRA. && .MARINE... Forecaster Confidence Levels... Low - less than 30 percent. Moderate - 30 to 60 percent. High - greater than 60 percent. Short Term /through Saturday/...High confidence. High pressure moves over the waters. Light winds trend out of the southeast or south Friday, with sea breezes redeveloping nearshore during Friday. Winds less than 25 knots and seas less than 5 feet through Friday night. Outlook /Saturday Night through Tuesday/... Saturday: Winds less than 25 kt. Saturday Night: Winds less than 25 kt. Seas locally approaching 5 ft. Slight chance of rain showers, slight chance of thunderstorms. Sunday: Winds less than 25 kt. Areas of seas approaching 5 ft. Chance of rain showers, chance of thunderstorms. Sunday Night: Winds less than 25 kt. Slight chance of rain showers, slight chance of thunderstorms. Monday through Monday Night: Winds less than 25 kt. Tuesday: Low risk for Small Craft Advisory winds with gusts up to 25 kt. Areas of seas approaching 5 ft. Chance of rain showers, chance of thunderstorms. && .TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING... Astronomical tides will be rather high during the night time high tide cycles tonight through Sat night. Fortunately wave action will not be much of a factor and surge is limited. However, leftover SE swell may result in minor splashover for vulnerable areas along east coastal MA tonight. Tides are slightly higher Fri night and Sat night so additional rounds of splashover are possible during these high tide cycles. Interesting to note...astronomical high tides will again be high in mid-August but a little lower than the current set of astro tides. The next set of high astronomical tides in Jan- Feb will be lower than the August tides. This trend to lower values for the high astronomical tides continues through the end of 2019.
