What forecasters said that day

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.

NWS Boston/Norton, MA wrote its last area forecast discussion before this gale warning went out at Apr 3, 1:59 AM EDT, 1 hour 47 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 3, 1:59 AM EDT, 1 hour 47 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Boston/Norton MA
159 AM EDT Fri Apr 3 2020

.SYNOPSIS...
A large and intense ocean storm moves west toward Southern New
England tonight, then pinwheels toward the south on Friday.
This storm will bring strong to possibly damaging winds and
coastal flooding to east coastal Massachusetts, especially Cape
Cod and the Islands. In addition, periods of rain will fall
heavily at times across the area through Friday night. A slow
moving, weak front will bring scattered showers Sunday through
Sunday night. Unsettled conditions will linger at times into mid
week.

&&

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

Current forecast on track so no near term updates.

Previous discussion...

Bands of rain have overspread all of SNE tonight with heavier
rain elements rotating across SE MA and Cape/Islands. RAP
thermal profile indicates the column may be marginally cold
enough for some snow or rain/snow mix over higher elevations in
northern MA, but it warms the low levels 03-06z so any snow/mix
here will become all rain. Given temps are above freezing and
the precip is light do not expect any accum other than a light
coating on the grass.

Vertically stacked ocean storm has begun its westward track
toward New Eng so expect a continuation of bands of rain
overnight which may be locally heavy at times across eastern
New Eng. Winds will begin to ramp up along east coastal MA and
Cape Cod toward daybreak as the nose of the 50-60 kt low level
jet approaches. Gusts to 40-50 mph expected.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THIS MORNING THROUGH 6 PM SATURDAY/...
Large ocean storm retrogrades back to the west making its
closest approach to Southern New England Friday morning. The
storm passes just SE of the 40N/70W benchmark before continuing
to move southward during Friday.

Temperatures at 950 mb suggest daytime temps in the 40s most
places, possibly around 50 or low 50s in the CT Valley.

Winds: A stiff pressure gradient north of the low will turn
winds over Southern New England from the northeast with
increasing speeds overnight, especially across Eastern MA.
Low level northeast winds reach 50-60 kt as they approach the
Eastern MA coast. Model soundings for BOS and Plymouth show
mixing to just below the 50 kt layer while mixing at HYA reaches
into this layer Friday. Because of this expect High Wind
criteria for gusts to 60 mph on Cape Cod and Islands later
tonight into Friday night. Wind Advisory criteria for gusts to
50 mph expected along the MA East Coast.

The pressure gradient weakens late Friday and Friday night, and
the low level jet weakens and moves off to the south. As that
happens, expect the winds over Srn New England should diminish.

Rain: Bands of rain will continue to move from east to west
from the Gulf of Maine to over land. Precipitable water values
will be between 0.75 and 1.0 inches. This isn't exceptional, but
it is above average for early April. The upper jet around the
stalled upper low will also be flowing toward the west, placing
the left exit region over Southern New England. Convergence
ahead of the low level jet and lift generated by the left exit
region upstairs should generate appreciable lift. The lift and
available moisture suggest rainfall of 1 to 1.5 inches near the
coast and less than 0.5 inches in the CT Valley.

Rain and wind diminish later Friday night as the support moves
off.

See coastal flooding section below for a discussion of coastal
flood potential.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
* Becoming drier through the day on Saturday but shower chances
  linger, especially over eastern MA

* A weak disturbance and approaching cold front may bring scattered
  showers Sunday into Sunday night

* Dry, warmer than average conditions briefly return Monday, cooling
  through mid week

* Generally dry through mid week but a few weak systems may bring
  scattered showers at times

Details...

Saturday and Sunday...

Things will be ramping down Saturday morning as the coastal storm
slowly makes its way southeast and away from southern New England.
The pressure gradient continues to slacken through the day, so peak
wind gusts will occur early in the morning, mainly along the south
coast, Cape Cod, and islands. Here we'll continue to see gusts 30 to
35 mph into early afternoon, diminishing through the evening. As for
rain chances, most should stay dry, if cloudy, most of the day.
However, can't rule out a few scattered showers during the morning
into early afternoon, especially over eastern MA/RI where moist NE
flow in the BL and lingering jet at 925 mb may help to prolong areas
of scattered showers/drizzle. While drier air moves in aloft low
level moisture sticks around, keeping mostly cloudy skies even as
weak high pressure builds in. Highs top out in the low to mid 50s in
the CT valley, while cool NE flow keeps areas further east in the
40s.

By Sunday sfc high pressure moves overhead with a mid level ridge.
However, its tempered by a weak disturbance in the flow which may
introduce some hit and miss showers early, but overall we stay dry.
Low level moisture sticks around for at least partly cloudy skies.
Even so, modest warm advection brings 925 mb temps up to around 6C
translating to sfc highs that are warmer than Saturday, in the upper
50s in western MA/CT and low to mid 50s further east. Temperatures
have been increased a bit, especially for western MA/CT which stands
the best chance of getting into the warm sector ahead of the
approaching cold front. Chance of rain returns first in western MA
by afternoon, spreading east through the evening/overnight hours.
This is due to a sfc low which passes to our north dragging a cold
front through the region Sunday evening into Monday morning. The
best forcing remains to our north and rain chances will diminish as
it moves east. Overall a very light QPF event.

Monday...

Monday will be the warmest day of the week as 925 mb temps surge to
7-8C leading to high temperatures in the low 60s. For perspective,
average highs for early April are in the low 50s, so we'll be about
10 degrees above normal. Weak high pressure keeps things dry and the
cold front finally scours out the low level moisture, so we should
get plenty of sun. This may allow high temps to overachieve even
what we're currently thinking.

Tuesday through Thursday...

Beyond the post frontal drier airmass on Monday, confidence
diminishes as a trough dips down to our north over southeast Canada
ahead of an approaching ridge and eventual next organized storm
system. Timing of our next storm system is uncertain with large
swings in the guidance but generally toward Wednesday/Thursday
another chance of widespread rain returns.

&&

&&

.MARINE...
Large ocean storm south of Nova Scotia backs up to the west.
This brings strong winds and rough seas, especially to the
eastern MA waters. Storm force gusts to 50 kt are expected over
eastern waters with gusts to 40 kt over the remaining waters.
Peak of the wind will be Friday morning as the storm makes its
closest approach to the waters, then turns toward the south.
Storm warnings and gale warnings are in place. Seas will build
to 20-25 ft east of Cape Cod and Nantucket. Vsbys reduced in
period of rain and fog.

Northeast winds gust to gale force Friday night, but show a
diminishing trend through the night. Rough seas continue, but
these will as show a subsiding trend through the night.

Outlook /Saturday Night through Tuesday/...

Saturday: Low risk for Small Craft Advisory winds with gusts up
to 30 kt. Rough seas up to 16 ft. Slight chance of rain
showers.

Saturday Night: Winds less than 25 kt. Rough seas up to 12 ft.

Sunday: Winds less than 25 kt. Rough seas up to 9 ft.

Sunday Night: Winds less than 25 kt. Areas of rough seas.
Chance of rain showers.

Monday: Winds less than 25 kt. Local rough seas.

Monday Night: Winds less than 25 kt. Seas up to 5 ft. Slight
chance of rain showers.

Tuesday: Winds less than 25 kt. Areas of seas approaching 5 ft.
Slight chance of rain showers.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
Current tidal departure at Nantucket is 2 feet. Expect a surge of
around 2.5 feet during the high tide tonight. This will bring the
storm tide just over 5 feet and there will be areas that see minor
coastal flooding for Nantucket tonight.

Friday...

The main concern is the Friday morning high tide for all of east
coastal MA as the core of strong winds and seas will occur around
this time. Confidence still high in a storm surge of 3 feet as
advertised per Stevens Institute surge ensembles. Expect seas east
of Nantucket and Cape Cod to build up to 25 feet or greater. Around
the Boston Buoys seas of 15-20 ft can be expected. These dangerous
seas will be long period/high energy waves. This will result in
widespread minor flooding along the entire east coast of MA with
pockets of moderate flooding. The risk of moderate flooding
continues at Nantucket, and also anticipate flooding at Marthas
Vineyard. Expect flooding to mostly be minor at Marthas Vineyard,
but there may be a few locations that see moderate.

Tides still are about a little less than a foot lower for the Fri
evening high tide and surge and seas will also be a bit lower. As a
result not expecting much flooding for the Fri evening high tide,
except pockets of minor flooding are possible for Nantucket.
