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 Jun 10, 1:36 PM EDT, 1 hour 39 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jun 10, 1:36 PM EDT, 1 hour 39 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Boston/Norton MA 136 PM EDT Mon Jun 10 2019 .SYNOPSIS... High pressure should result in dry weather prevailing through this afternoon before rain showers overspread western Massachusetts and northern Connecticut by late afternoon/early evening. Bands of heavy rain showers and a few embedded thunderstorms may result in localized flooding this evening into Tuesday morning across the region. A cold frontal passage will bring a return to dry weather Tuesday afternoon into Wednesday. Another Low pressure with its associated front will slowly approach the region Thursday, bringing more showers through Thursday night. There is also a threat for isolated thunderstorms with locally heavy rainfall. Dry weather returns Friday and Saturday as high pressure passes south of the region. Another front may approach the region late next weekend. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/... 1 PM update... Very little changes to the forecast. Adjusted the timing of the precip to match up with current guidance. Hi-res models have slowed down and it looks like precip won't get into N. CT until closer to 4 PM, and Boston until around 9 PM. Previous discussion... High pressure continues eastward away from the region as a low pressure system moves NNE along the Atlantic coast. Dry conditions will continue throughout this morning and into the early afternoon, but with increasing clouds out of the W-SW. Sea breeze has already moved into Boston and the North Shore, which will keep the temperatures in the upper 60s to low 70s throughout the remainder of the day. However, across the interior temperatures will likely reach near the 80s, especially in the Connecticut and Merrimack River Valleys. As the low pressure continues to track along the Atlantic coast and then over the region this afternoon, heavy rain and localized flooding will be a concern this evening through tomorrow morning. Ahead of an approaching warm front, widespread rain will move into Connecticut around 3pm and the eastern coast between 7pm and 9pm. && .SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM TUESDAY/... * Heavy rain/localized flood threat this evening into Tue AM The main concern will be the potential for heavy rain and localized flooding this evening into Tuesday morning, which we will discuss more below. Approaching shortwave/warm front will increase the forcing for ascent across interior southern New England this afternoon. The result will be rain overspreading western MA/CT between 3 and 6 pm and then eastern MA/RI between 6 and 9 pm this evening. A low level jet/Pwat plume 2-3+ standard deviations will be interacting with a warm front and a burst of elevated instability this evening into the overnight hours. The result should be bands of showers with locally heavy rainfall and a few embedded thunderstorms as the warm front will act as a forcing mechanism for the LLJ/Pwat plume. There also appears to be the potential for a secondary band of heavy rainfall toward daybreak into Tuesday morning ahead of the approaching cold front. Given the above, we are expecting widespread 0.75 to 1.50" of rainfall. However, localized 2-3"+ rainfall amounts are possible and depicted by some of our models especially the CAMs. The issue is where exactly these potentially higher amounts would occur. Some data suggests that initially the east slopes of the Berks/Worcester Hills would be most vulnerable given SSE upslope flow. Other guidance suggests that portions of RI/SE MA may be vulnerable given higher MUCape values and enhanced convergence along a secondary low pressure system. So in a nutshell...Pwats over 2 inches and strong dynamics/forcing have us concerned for heavy rain/localized flooding this evening into Tuesday morning. Will go ahead and issue a special weather statement to highlight these concerns. This will give the day shift a chance to examine the 12z model suite and issue a Flood Watch if confidence increases in the higher amounts occurring along with the potential location. Low temperatures will be much milder then the last few nights...only dropping into the 60 to 65 degree range in most locales. Tuesday afternoon... Dry weather expected by Tuesday afternoon in most locations. In fact...expect partly to mostly sunny skies to emerge and given the mild start expect highs to reach well into the 70s to near 80. Bufkit soundings showing very good mixing, so 25 to 30 mph wind gusts may develop with a few gusts near 35 mph possible. && .LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/... Highlights... * Dry, seasonable conditions expected Tuesday night and Wednesday * Showers with locally heavy rain return Wed night into early Fri, isolated thunder from midday Thu into Thu evening * Should see dry conditions Fri night into Saturday, then chance for showers Sunday Details... 10/00Z guidance is in rather good agreement with the overall synoptic pattern into Friday. After then, significant differences arise which make for an uncertain forecast next weekend. Tuesday Night into Wednesday... High pressure general in control of our weather as it moves east across our region. Near to slightly below normal temperatures expected. Wednesday Night into Thursday Night... In general, a mid level trough amplifies over the central USA towards mid week. This places southern New England into a favorable position for moisture advection from the tropics. Precipitable water values are expected to be 1-2 standard deviations above normal, but 850 mb moisture flux should be about 2-3 standard deviations above normal late Thursday into Thursday night. Will need to monitor this time period for the possibility of another round of heavy rainfall. Showers should arrive sometime late Wednesday night into Thursday. Near to below normal temperatures continue. Friday through Sunday... Southern New England should be between a high pressure to the south and a low pressure moving across eastern Canada. Uncertainty over which feature will be the dominant one. At this point, favoring the high pressure moving through the Mid Atlantic. However, it will only take a subtle shift to make a significant change to the forecast. This is a low confidence forecast. && .AVIATION /18Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/... Forecaster Confidence Levels... Low - less than 30 percent. Moderate - 30 to 60 percent. High - greater than 60 percent. Short Term /through Tuesday/... 1 PM Update... Today...High confidence. VFR conditions through early to mid afternoon. Sea breeze has already settled in at BOS and PVD. MVFR cigs/vsby should overspread western MA/CT between 21z and 23z as rain moves into the region. Tonight into Tuesday morning...Moderate to high confidence. Widespread low end MVFR to IFR conditions in bands of heavy rain showers and a few embedded thunderstorms. LLWs may also impact the southeast New England coast overnight. Tuesday afternoon...Moderate to high confidence in TAF. Rapid improvement to mainly VFR by early to mid afternoon Tuesday behind a cold front. NW wind gusts of 20 to 25 knots with a few gusts to 30 knots are expected to develop. KBOS Terminal...High confidence in TAF. Sea breeze in place through the afternoon, turning SE this evening. Rain moves in around 02z. KBDL Terminal...High confidence in TAF. Outlook /Tuesday Night through Friday/... Tuesday Night: VFR. Breezy. Wednesday: VFR. Wednesday Night: VFR. Chance SHRA. Thursday: Mainly MVFR, with areas VFR possible. Breezy. SHRA. Thursday Night: Mainly VFR, with local IFR possible. Breezy. Chance SHRA. Friday: VFR. Breezy. && .MARINE... Forecaster Confidence Levels... Low - less than 30 percent. Moderate - 30 to 60 percent. High - greater than 60 percent. Short Term /through Tuesday/... Today...High confidence. High pressure will continue to move east of the waters today. The result will be SSE wind gusts of 15 to 20 knots developing by afternoon. Nonetheless, winds/seas should remain below small craft advisory thresholds. Tonight...Moderate to high confidence. An increasing low level jet will result in the potential for 20 to 25 knot southerly wind gusts overnight. Long southerly fetch may result in 3 to 6 foot seas developing as well. Later shifts may need to consider the issuance of small craft headlines for some of our open waters. However, given it is not occurring until late in the second period will hold off on any headlines for now. Bands of showers with a few embedded t- storms along with areas of fog will also reduce vsbys for mariners. Tuesday...Moderate to high confidence. Bands of showers and a few embedded thunderstorms should exit most of the waters by early Tuesday afternoon. Left over marginal small craft seas will remain possible for some of our open waters. Also, near shore NW wind gusts of 20 to 30 knots may develop during the afternoon so additional headlines might need to be considered. Outlook /Tuesday Night through Friday/... Tuesday Night: Winds less than 25 kt. Seas up to 5 ft. Wednesday: Winds less than 25 kt. Wednesday Night: Winds less than 25 kt. Seas locally approaching 5 ft. Chance of rain showers. Thursday: Low risk for Small Craft Advisory winds with gusts up to 25 kt. Local rough seas. Rain showers. Thursday Night: Winds less than 25 kt. Areas of rough seas. Chance of rain showers. Friday: Winds less than 25 kt. Areas of rough seas. && .BOX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... CT...None. MA...None. RI...None.
