Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Boston/Norton MA
214 PM EDT Thu Jul 23 2020

.SYNOPSIS...

Scattered thunderstorms will continue into early evening ahead
of an approaching cold front. Some of the storms may produce
damaging winds and torrential rainfall/localized flooding.
Behind the front, not quite as hot or humid Friday along with
mainly dry weather, just a slight chance of an isolated shower
or thunderstorm across CT, RI and southeast MA. High pressure
over New England Saturday provides dry weather and seasonably
warm temperatures. The high moves offshore Sunday and Monday,
circulating hot and humid weather back into the region. A slow
moving cold front will likely result in scattered thunderstorms
Tuesday and Wednesday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...

210 PM Update...

* Severe Thunderstorm Watch into this evening for the entire
  region except for the Cape/Islands and the south coast of RI

* Localized flood threat exists too

Scattered to numerous thunderstorms have developed across the
northern half of MA at mid afternoon. Despite poor mid level
lapse rates...70 to 75 degree dewpoints have resulted in
surface capes between 2500 and 3000 J/KG. SPC Meso-analysis also
shows bulk effective shear has also increased to between 30 and
35 knots across much of the region, particularly across
northern MA.

As the shortwave and pre-frontal trough continue to press
southeast, scattered thunderstorms should develop further south
towards the Boston to Providence corridor and northern CT
through late afternoon. Despite the poor mid level lapse rates
and marginal shear, plenty of instability will result in some of
the storms becoming strong to severe. Therefore, a Severe
Thunderstorm Watch is in effect through 8 pm this evening for
all but the Cape/Islands and south coast of RI. We do think the
highest severe weather threat is across interior and northern
portions of MA and perhaps into northern CT. Somewhat better
shear/cape overlap exists in this region.

Lastly, given 70 to 75 dewpoints and marginal shear the
strongest thunderstorms will produce torrential rainfall. This
will result in a very localized flash flood threat, particularly
if a cluster of strong t-storms move over a vulnerable urban
center.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...

Tonight...

The threat of severe storms shift south with the cold front but with
the loss of diurnal heating after sunset, severe storms coverage
will likely be more scattered in nature. Storms wind down by the pre-
dawn hours as the cold front clears the South Coast. It will still
remain very mild and muggy, however, with overnight lows in the mid
60s in the interior to low 70s in Eastern MA and RI.

Friday...

* Looks to be a mostly dry day but couldn't rule out afternoon
  thunderstorms, especially towards the S Coast.

By the early morning hours, a positively tilted upper level trough
lifts into Nova Scotia with rising H5 height fields. With light NW
flow aloft, initial signs are that Friday could be a mostly dry day.
The wildcard lies in the uncertainty of how far south the cold front
goes. There are signs that it could stall as a stationary front just
south of the south coast. Moreover, there are also indications of up
to 1000 J/kg of CAPE so have kept at least a slight chance of PoPs
for much of the interior and higher chances south of the MA Pike.
But K indices look to fall sharply behind the cold front from the
30s to the teens and even the single digits in the interior,
indicative of the intrusion of mid-level dry air. With mixing up to
850mb and 850mb temperatures between +13C to +15C, afternoon highs
should top out in the mid 80s. With dew points falling into the
upper 50s to mid 60s, it will feel quite comfortable.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...

323 am update...

Highlights...

* Dry weather Sat, Sun and possibly into Mon then an active
  convective pattern beginning Tue and continuing into at least mid
  week

* Seasonably warm/humid Saturday then possible three day heat wave
  Sunday, Monday and Tuesday

Temperatures...

Low amplitude mean trough over New England briefly erodes northern
periphery of subtropical ridge resulting in seasonable temps and
humidity for late July Fri night and Sat. With 1020 mb high pressure
over the region Friday night, sided with the slightly cooler MOS
guidance. In fact few places across western MA may dip into the
upper 50s! Saturday looks like the pick of the week especially after
a coolish Fri night then dry WNW flow aloft, seasonably warm with
highs in the mid to upper 80s and dew pts in the 60s. By Sunday,
excessive heat and humidity associated with subtropical ridge over
the central U.S. begins to advect eastward with ECENS warming 850 mb
temps to +19C over New England Sunday, then peaking to 20C Monday
before lowering to about +18C by Tuesday as high amplitude trough
enters the Great Lakes. These temps aloft may support a three day
heat wave for many locations in MA/RI/CT Sunday, Monday and Tuesday.
Good model agreement Monday will likely be the hottest day with
probability of 90+ temps between 90-100% and highs likely in the mid
90s. Highs likely fall back into the 80s Wed as approaching high
amplitude trough entering the Great Lakes begins to erode northern
periphery of subtropical ridge.

Precipitation...

Dry WNW flow aloft should yield mainly convective-free weather
Saturday, Sunday and possibly Monday. However by Tue and especially
Wed ECENS continuing to signal a fairly high amplitude trough (at
least by July standards) entering the Great Lakes Tue and edging
closer to New England Wed. This should yield a fairly active
convective pattern for New England beginning Tue and continuing at
least into Wed if not beyond.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...

18z Update...

Forecaster Confidence Levels...

Low - less than 30 percent.
Moderate - 30 to 60 percent.
High - greater than 60 percent.

This afternoon...High confidence in trends, but lower
confidence in trends. Scattered to numerous thunderstorms have
developed across northern MA. This activity will push southeast
towards the Boston to Providence through 21z-22z. So while VFR
conditions are expected outside the t-storms, IFR-LIFR along
with locally strong winds are expected within thunderstorms.

Tonight...High confidence in trends, but lower confidence in
timing. The scattered thunderstorm threat will end across much
of the region by 02z-03z, but persist a bit longer in parts of
RI/SE MA. Otherwise, VFR conditions dominate but IFR to even
LIFR conditions may develop across the Cape/Islands in lower
clouds and fog. More patchy fog may develop overnight in the
typically prone locations. Winds becoming light overnight.

Friday...High confidence. VFR with any remaining low clouds/fog
burning off during the morning across the Cape/Islands. Isolated
showers possible Fri afternoon mainly towards the south coast,
but the areal coverage will be limited. NE winds 5 to 10 knots.

KBOS Terminal...High confidence in TAF. Scattered thunderstorms
expected between 19z and 23z.

KBDL Terminal...High confidence in TAF. Scattered thunderstorms
expected between 19z and 23z.

Outlook /Saturday through Monday/...

Saturday through Saturday Night: VFR.

Sunday through Sunday Night: VFR. Breezy.

Monday: Mainly VFR, with local MVFR possible. Breezy. Slight
chance SHRA, slight chance TSRA.

&&

.MARINE...
340 AM Update...

Winds and seas remain below Small Craft Advisory criteria through
Friday night. A cold front on Thursday brings the risk for
thunderstorms, some of which may be strong Thursday afternoon
into evening.

Outlook /Saturday through Monday/...

Friday Night: Winds less than 25 kt. Patchy fog.

Saturday through Sunday: Winds less than 25 kt.

Sunday Night through Monday: Winds less than 25 kt. Areas of
seas approaching 5 ft.
