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 Apr 3, 10:08 PM EDT, 5 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Apr 3, 10:08 PM EDT, 5 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Boston/Norton MA
1008 PM EDT Wed Apr 3 2019
.SYNOPSIS...
Winds diminishing overnight, with clear and dry weather.
Breezy, dry conditions continue Thursday as high pressure works
into the region. The wind and dry conditions will bring another
day of fire weather concerns. High pressure exits Friday.
Showers late Friday into early Saturday, followed by dry weather
and high pressure into Sunday. Another round of showers Sunday
night into early next week.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THURSDAY MORNING/...
Winds near 40 knots in a few spots, but have diminished overall
and expect this trend to continue. Enough pressure gradient
lingers to expect west to northwest winds overnight. We have
brought down the Wind Advisory with winds mainly gusting in the
30s and expected to go lower overnight. Otherwise, clear skies
with dew points in the upper teens and 20s advecting in.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
2 pm update ...
* / Highlights ...
- Elevated fire weather concerns
- Very dry and blustery conditions Thursday
- Please see the FIRE WEATHER section below for more details
*/ Discussion ...
Confident W winds will be blustery daytime Thursday, 20 to 30 mph,
under mostly clear conditions during which temperatures will likely
over-achieve with highs around the upper 40s to low 50s. Dewpoints
dropping down into the teens to single digits that yield minimum
relative humidity values of 15 to 25 percent away from the immediate
coast. Certainly fire weather concerns.
Winds taper overnight as humidity rebounds. Should winds become calm
then there is certainly the chance for boundary layer decoupling
such that radiational cooling proceeds. Confident any blanketing
higher cloud decks associated with Friday's wet weather will be
delayed till morning.
&&
.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
Highlights...
* Dry and cooler Friday
* Rain Friday night with potential for brief wintry mix at onset
* Dry and mild weekend
* Unsettled weather with potential for big warm up early next week
Details...
Friday...
1034mb high pressure moves over southern New England early Friday
and slowly off the east coast. With dry air and light winds we're
looking at a dry day early, with rain overspreading from west to
east late. We'll have high clouds, lowering through the day as the
column saturates. Model soundings though still indicate substantial
dry air in the low levels which should keep precip at bay until
afternoon in western MA/CT and Friday evening/night for eastern
MA. Temps will be a bit cooler than Thursday, in the mid to
upper 40s.
Friday night into Saturday...
An approaching shortwave disturbance Friday brings the return of
rain, with a potential for some initial wintry mix in the high
elevations of MA and CT at the onset before warmer air moves in.
Southerly flow between the exiting high and incoming low advect
in a good tap of subtropical moisture (PWATs >1") coincident
with a vortmax at the mix levels and a developing 40-45kt LLJ
overnight. Non-diurnal temperature trend expected overnight into
Saturday as return flow in the low-mid levels brings in warmer
air. Lows should occur fairly early in the night, in the upper
30s for most. Winds will be gusty, mainly along the coast and
over the waters...inverted profiles keep widespread mixing down
of higher winds at bay.
Saturday and Sunday...
Gradual clearing expected Saturday morning as the precip moves out
and drier air invades. Approaching high pressure expected for the
weekend, keeping us dry for the most part, though some question as
to how quickly precip returns late Sunday. For now sticking with a
dry forecast Sunday and increasing rain chances Sunday night. Mild
weekend in store, with 850mb temps around +5C we can expect highs in
the low 60s on Saturday, moderating a few degrees on Sunday.
Monday through Wednesday...
To start the week we'll have a progressive pattern bringing
periodic precip chances to SNE for the first half of the week
as flow becomes much more amplified. The forecast is more
uncertain beyond the weekend, but increasing confidence that
things will become unsettled. A deep 500mb trough approaches
with a surface low ahead of it. The big question is how our next
low pressure system develops in the lee of the Rockies over the
weekend and where it goes from there. That will have a big
effect not only on how wet we'll be, but whether we see a big
warm up to start the week. For now going with a blend of
guidance to and keeping chances of rain in the forecast through
Wednesday with slightly above average temperatures in the upper
50s.
