The local office's own words before this gale warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 27, 4:09 AM EDT, 6 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Boston/Norton MA
409 AM EDT Sat Apr 27 2019
.SYNOPSIS...
Cold front exiting early this morning bringing an end to the
showers and thunderstorms. Behind the front drier and blustery
weather follows for the remainder of the day with a chance of
isolated to scattered shower activity. Low pressure tracks just
south of New England Sunday bringing a chilly rain to the area.
High pressure then provides dry weather Monday. More periods of
wet weather appear likely in the Tuesday thru Thursday timeframe.
Dry weather may return late next week. Temperatures will be at
or slightly cooler than normal.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
Into this morning ...
Comma-head rains wrapping across S New England. Main crux of sub-
tropical precipitable waters and low-level winds are edging E,
pushing offshore with a parent surface cold front. Cooler, drier
air working in W, beginning to see low-level lapse rates steepen
allowing for instability- driven activity to evolve N/E beneath
the negatively-tilted H5 trof. Likely PoPs especially over N/W
MA and CT towards sunrise.
Today ...
Showers lingering across S New England. Cool, dry lobe continuing
to rotate rearward of the negatively-tilted H5 trof. Steepening
lapse rates with diurnal heating up to H8 beneath cyclonic flow
as the comma-head moist airmass rotating out. H85 temperatures
of around -6C with H5 temperatures falling down to around -25C.
Impressively cold for late April. Mix down drier air and blustery
W winds. Right around 2 pm, decent H925-7 moist layer, yet heights
on the rise as W winds downslope. Likely PoPs along the higher
terrain with chance PoPs elsewhere over the interior, concluding
towards evening. Breaks of sunshine possible, but expecting mainly
a broken cloud deck to persist. As to winds, some uncertainty as
to how well they mix down to the surface. Can't rule out 40 mph
gusts over the high terrain, but higher confidence of gusts of
around 20 to 30 mph throughout today.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
Tonight ...
Turning quiet. Beneath high pressure and dry air, showers come
to an end beneath prevailing subsidence. Winds becoming light.
Brief clearing, there's an opportunity for radiational cooling.
However clouds will thicken late prior to the storm system for
Sunday. Lows down around the upper 30s. A close eye as to the
possibility of frost conditions, however the growing season has
not yet begun across interior MA where lows around the mid 30s
are forecast.
Sunday ...
Chilly rain with high terrain wet snows, possibly accumulating.
Continental moist airmass ascending beneath an open-wave Pacific
impulse. Fast-moving, daytime impact, late April. There's still a
level of uncertainty on outcomes as spread remains among model
forecast solutions. Banking that with overnight cool conditions
and a lack of opportunity for daytime heating as another lobe of
colder air settles in aloft that'll we'll see considerably cooler
than average conditions. Hedged lower with highs in the 40s with
upper 30s over the Berkshires. It's at elevations at or above 1500
feet there's the best chance of seeing wet snowflakes to mix in.
Hinted at trace accumulations, however given an isothermal layer
right around freezing, the late April timeframe, and indications
that precipitation rates won't be pouring (omega values as high
as 20 microbars per second), it could be tough. Precipitation
moving out late, conditions improving.
Sunday night ...
Cool, dry air building back in. A 1030 high pressure building in
from the W coincident with cold air rushing in behind the exiting
system. H5 temperatures back down into the -20s as conditions
clear and winds become light. Have to watch low temperatures for
this timeframe and growing-season considerations. May need frost
or freeze headlines for CT, RI, and E/SE coastal MA. Lows down
around the low to mid 30s.

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
Highlights ...
* Active weather pattern with multiple rain chances Tue-Thu
* Temperatures at or cooler than normal
Synoptic Overview ...
Split flow regime will continue our active weather pattern with
multiple rain chances next week, mainly in the Tue thru Thu
timeframe. The combination of a western trough and a building
southeast ridge places the storm track directly into or near
southern New England.
Daily Details ...
Monday ... this forecast period provides the most certainty as all
deterministic and ensemble guidance supports dry weather with just a
low risk of rain very late in the day across western MA/CT but
likely holding off until after sunset. Otherwise Mon could be the
pick of the week with short wave ridging providing at least partial
sunshine (sun thru high clouds) and light winds with 1030 mb high
settling over the region. However this setup will likely lead to
cooling afternoon seabreezes for the entire coastline. Model
soundings support highs of 55 to 60, a few degs cooler than normal.
Tuesday thru Thursday ... both ensembles and deterministic guidance
all suggest an unsettled pattern this time period. Lots of
uncertainty regarding timing of individual shortwaves riding up and
over southeast ridge into New England. There will be dry stretches
of weather in between short waves but at this time range it's
nearly impossible to nail down such time windows.
Friday ...
Ensembles specifically the ECENS suggest drier air may begin to work
in from the west later Fri.
