What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this river flood warning 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 river flood warning went out at Apr 26, 8:51 PM EDT, 6 hours 44 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 26, 8:51 PM EDT, 6 hours 44 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Boston/Norton MA
851 PM EDT Fri Apr 26 2019

.SYNOPSIS...
A cold front will sweep the region tonight with widespread rain
and embedded heavy showers and thunderstorms. The front departs
early Saturday morning followed by drier and cooler air across
the region on gusty west winds. Low pressure tracks near the
south coast Sunday bringing a period of rain to the region. High
pressure provides a brief period of dry weather Monday before
yet another area of low pressure brings the threat of rain
Monday night into Tuesday. Dry weather may return the middle of
next week.

&&

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

Latest mesoanalysis showed effective bulk shear diminishing
across southern New England. Observed a corresponding decrease
in lightning as well. There is not much instability left to work
with, and mid level lapse rates are barely moist adiabatic.
Still a risk of a thunderstorm or two overnight as a triple-
point low traverses our region, which could provide enough
convergence to trigger them.

Main changes this evening were to attempt to time out the
showers as well as we can. Adjusted temperatures and dew points
to reflect observed trends. Winds will be tricky, and highly
dependent upon the exact track of the triple-point low. Still
thinking winds turn west by late tonight as this low moves
farther offshore.

Previous Discussion...

Main, sub-990 mb occluded low tracks gradually NE of
the Great Lakes Region. Associated warm front expected to be
draped across SNE at 00Z, lifting northward during the evening.
Meanwhile, triple-point low and attendant cold front expected to
track across SNE during the overnight. Along and ahead of the
cold front, there will be a plume of deep-layer subtropical
moisture, with precipitable water around 1.5 inch. Thus we will
have sufficient forcing for widespread showers with embedded
thunderstorms.

As the warm front lifts north and prior to the secondary low
passage, low level warm, moist conditions are expected to erode
the low level inversion to some degree. Looking at NAM
soundings, prior to that erosion we may have a window of robust
elevated instability. In any thunderstorms thru this evening, we
may see some gusts 30-40 mph. There is also a risk for a few
rotating storms, with strong 0-1 km helicity.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM SATURDAY/...
Cold front and associated showers exit the region roughly 2 AM
to 8 AM west to east. Then mid level dry slot and post frontal
airmass overspreads the region. There may be some partial
clearing during the morning, however clouds likely fill back in
given cold pool aloft combined with cyclonic flow continuing.
Can't rule out a few brief showers given this setup but by no
means a washout Saturday afternoon as most places remain dry.
Mild start to the day which will help highs reach to 55-60, with
upper 40s to lower 50s in the high terrain. However turning
cooler in the afternoon as cold pool (- 22C at 500 mb) aloft
drifts overhead. In fact sufficient cooling that any isolated
showers late in the day could be mixed with snow showers across
the high terrain as 850 mb temps fall to about -4C and 925 mb
-1C! Dry and cool Saturday night with short wave ridging
advecting across the region. Gusty NW winds diminish overnight.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
Highlights ...

* Active weather pattern with chance of rain every other day
* Temperatures at or lower than normal

Synoptic Overview ...

Energetic northern stream jet results in an active weather pattern
for southern New England with the threat of rain just about every
other day (Sunday, then Monday night/Tuesday MA, and again
Wednesday or Thursday) this forecast period. Given amplitude of
northern stream, temperatures will be running at or lower than
normal much of this time period.

Timing the precipitation will be tricky, and subject to some
changes. Right now, thinking increasing risk for rain from west
to east during the day Sunday. Brunt of this rainfall should be
Sunday afternoon for most, then tapering off from west to east
Sunday evening. High pressure nosing down from Canada should
keep most of Monday dry, before the next batch of rain arrives
late Monday into Monday night. A little drier Tuesday, but not
confident enough to keep some light rain out of the forecast.
More widespread rainfall possible sometime Wednesday into
Thursday as a low pressure passes by to our south.

Friday is a bit of a balancing act. High pressure trying to
nose south. This may be enough to push a front far enough away
from our region to result in dry weather. Kept a mention of
showers in the forecast for now.
