  result in 1 to 2 inches of rain in just an hour in a few
  locations. The result will be the potential for localized flash
  flooding, especially in urbanized centers. The threat for heavy
  rain showers and flooding should exit the Cape and Islands

What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this flash flood watch 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 flash flood watch went out at Jul 23, 1:54 AM EDT, 1 hour 33 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jul 23, 1:54 AM EDT, 1 hour 33 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Boston/Norton MA
154 AM EDT Tue Jul 23 2019

.SYNOPSIS...
Low pressure will track along a frontal boundary south of New
England overnight into midday Tuesday bringing showers with
possible thunderstorms, most numerous across southern
Massachusetts and Rhode Island. The low and frontal boundary
will move offshore Wednesday morning, followed by a stretch of
dry, seasonable weather along with comfortable humidity arriving
Wednesday afternoon and lingering through the weekend with
temperatures gradually warming through the period.

&&

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

150 AM Update...

Light to moderate rain showers were impacting areas along and
northwest of a Boston...to Worcester...to Hartford line. This
area was being driven by an area of mid level lift to the north
of an unusually strong cold front for this time of year. Much of
RI and SE MA were dry early this morning, but that should change
toward daybreak. Another surface wave will allow a cluster of
showers and embedded thunderstorms to approach the region from
the southwest. Will have to watch this area for pockets of heavy
rainfall/localized street flooding through the morning hours,
especially near the south coast.

Overnight lows well down into the 60s in most locations, except
the upper 60s to near 70 down around the south coast.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THIS MORNING THROUGH 6 PM WEDNESDAY/...

The trough axis remains to the west on Tuesday with another frontal
wave moving up the coast bringing additional heavy rainfall. This
time the axis of greatest PWATs shifts southeast as the best lift
from low level convergence and favorable upper jet dynamics aligns
to bring the heaviest rainfall to RI and southeast MA. Another 1-2"
is possible with locally higher amounts up to 3" leading to the risk
of urban and poor drainage flooding. A 35-45kt LLJ moves over
southern RI and southeast MA which could mix down gusty winds in
heavy downpours as well, while retreating instability should keep
the threat of thunderstorms to the south coast. The low lifts out of
the area bringing rain to an end from west to east Tuesday evening
into early overnight. Tuesday night should be mostly dry, but a
third and final low crosses further to our southeast keeping a
chance for some rain showers in the forecast for the south
coast/Cape Cod/islands.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
Highlights ...

* Dry stretch of weather Wed afternoon into the weekend
* Seasonable temperatures and comfortable humidity Wed & Thu
* Gradually becoming warmer and more humid Fri/Sat/Sun/Mon

Long wave trough and attending weak surface low south of Long Island
12z Wed advects eastward giving way to a drying trend Wed afternoon.
Temps warm into the low 80s Wed afternoon but maybe only into the
70s eastern MA given later departure time of rain and cloud shield.

Then a beautiful stretch of dry weather and comfortable humidity Thu
and Fri as upper trough lifts/exits to the northeast and is replaced
by rising heights and anticyclonic mid level flow. As 1026 mb high
builds from the OH valley into New England expect warm days and
comfortable nights with dew pts in the 50s. Weak pressure gradient
will support afternoon seabreezes each day.

High pressure remains anchored over southern New England Fri and Sat
but strong July sun will gradually warm airmass with humidity
remaining tolerable. By Sunday and Monday high moves offshore and
return flow will yield increasing humidity, although typical for
late July with dew pts in the 60s.

Ensembles suggest mean trough sets up over the Great Lakes Sunday
into early next week with subtropical ridge offshore. This will
likely support dry weather here in southern New England with frontal
boundaries remaining northwest of New England or fronts dissipating
eastward into New England. Thus seasonably warm and humid Sunday
into early next week at least by late July standards.

showers will remain possible.

Tonight...Improvement to mainly VFR expected sometime during
the evening hours to the northwest of the Boston to Providence
corridor. MVFR-IFR conditions should linger southeast of the
Boston to Providence corridor along with another round of
showers focused across the Cape/Islands.
