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 Mar 13, 4:08 PM EDT, 3 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Mar 13, 4:08 PM EDT, 3 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Boston/Norton MA
408 PM EDT Fri Mar 13 2020

.SYNOPSIS...
A cold front will cross southern New England this afternoon and
early evening, bringing scattered showers and a brief period of
strong wind gusts. Drier conditions are forecast for tonight.
Mostly sunny conditions for Saturday with blustery northwest
winds to continue. High pressure will bring dry and seasonably
chilly temperatures to the region Sunday and Monday. A fast
moving low pressure system follows with a brief period of mainly
rain showers on Tuesday. Dry and seasonable weather follows
Wednesday into early Thursday. A low pressure system approaching
from the southwest will likely bring a period or two of mainly
rain sometime later Thursday into Friday.

&&

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

Thru early this evening...

As of 4 pm there was a fine line of showers along the cold
front, which had tracked east of AFN/ORE/BAF and was moving
E at about 30 kt. Radar and upstream surface obs indicated the
potential for wind gusts of 40 to 50 mph with the fine line, if
it continues holds together. Covering this via SPS at this
time. Once the cold front passes through our area, precip ends
and decreasing clouds are expected. Otherwise behind the front
and initial wind gusts, we'll likely have WNW wind gusts of 25
to 30 mph prior to sunset.

Tonight...

Cold front moves offshore leaving our area in a dry NW flow. Across
the interior high terrain and the Cape/Islands and the east coastal
MA shoreline, we may see a continuation of wind gusts 25 to 30 mph
overnight. Otherwise winds gradually diminish. Temperatures dip into
the 30s across much of the region, a few spots in the interior high
terrain may fall into the upper 20s.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...

Saturday...

Northwest flow continues with weak surface ridging.  The ridging and
surface dewpoints in the 20s will allow for mostly sunny skies.
Afternoon highs will range from the mid 40s to mid 50s, allowing for
good mixing in the low levels. Thus some wind gusts around 25 mph
are expected.

Saturday Night...

A dry night for southern New England with main influences being dry
W/NW flow and weak ridging of high pressure. However, a mid level
short wave and developing open wave pass well south of our region
during the overnight, but will likely bring a period of mid and high
deck cloudiness to southern New England. This could limit
radiational cooling, allowing for milder overnight lows. At this
time going with a model blend for overnight lows, mainly in the mid
20s to mid 30s.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
Highlights...

* Dry and seasonably chilly Sun & Mon

* Period of showers Tue, perhaps beginning as a brief period of
  light snow/ice across parts of the interior high terrain

* Dry and seasonably chilly on Wed

* Period or two of mainly rain likely sometime Thu night into Fri

Details...

Sunday and Monday...

A large Canadian high pressure system around 1040 MB will build
south into the region Sun & Mon. Plenty of strong March sunshine
will still allow highs to reach well up into the 40s in many
locations Sun and generally lower to middle 40s by Mon. It will be a
bit colder along portions of the coast, as weak gradient allows for
onshore flow which may keep highs below 40 especially on Mon.
Overnight low temps Sun night should bottom out in the teens in some
outlying locations, to the lower to middle 20s in the urban centers.

Tuesday...

The large high pressure system will move east of the region by Tue,
as a shortwave/cold front approach from the west. This overall looks
to be a progressive system with a brief burst of warm advection
showers. Given the surface high moving east of the region,
precipitation type should be mainly a brief round of showers. This
is more of a frontal wave, so rainfall amounts will be light. It is
possible across parts of the interior high terrain that the showers
begin as a brief period of light snow/ice.

Wednesday through Friday...

Another large high pressure system builds into the region for
Wednesday. This will bring dry/seasonably chilly air back into the
region. Highs will mainly be in the 40s on Wednesday. Dry weather
will persist Wed night into the first half of Thu, but low pressure
approaching from the southwest will result in a period or two of
mainly rain sometime late Thu into Fri. Precipitation type should
generally be rain, but can not rule out the risk for a bit of snow
at the onset across portions of the interior.

&&
