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 Aug 1, 1:47 PM EDT, 1 hour 53 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Aug 1, 1:47 PM EDT, 1 hour 53 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Boston/Norton MA 147 PM EDT Sat Aug 1 2020 .SYNOPSIS... Dry weather prevails today and most of tonight as a high pressure passes by. A warm front moves across the region Sunday, bringing increasing humidity and perhaps a few thunderstorms across interior southern New England Sunday afternoon and evening. The main concern will be Tuesday into early Wednesday, as southern New England remains in the cone of uncertainty for Hurricane Isaias. Seasonable summer weather should return later Wednesday through the remainder of the next work week. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/... 145 PM Update... Partly to mostly sunny skies at mid afternoon with just some fair weather diurnal CU. Temps should climb a few more degrees away from sea breezes on the immediate coast. Highs should top out in the upper 80s in many locations with a few lower 90s. Temps a few degrees lower on the immediate coast with sea breezes, but still a very nice summer afternoon. && .SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM SUNDAY/... Remaining mostly dry tonight, although clouds will be increasing as a warm front approaches, then moves through our region Sunday. A few showers may approach from the west late tonight. Increasing humidity tonight, with a more tropical feel Sunday. Convective potential Sunday will be tricky. While a mid level shortwave should be approaching late in the day, there should also be weak mid level ridging during the daytime that any convection would need to overcome. At this point, cannot completely dismiss the idea of a few strong to possibly severe thunderstorms, the greater probability for stronger thunderstorms will be to our west. Will need to see how the timing of these features evolve over the next 24 hours. At this time, will maintain a mention of showers and thunderstorms across interior southern New England Sunday. Temperatures trending to above normal, especially Sunday during the day. && .LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/... Highlights... * Break in the rain Monday before more widespread rain returns ahead of Hurricane Isaias around Tuesday * Southern New England remains in the cone of uncertainty of Hurricane Isaias which may impact the region Tuesday into early Wednesday. * High pressure and dry weather return late week with seasonable temperatures Details... As the surface low lifts into Quebec on Monday, high pressure briefly slides in between systems, bringing a respite from the rain chances for most of the day. The main focus for impactful weather will be early Tuesday through Wednesday. This is generally the envelope of time that guidance suggests a Bermuda high over the Atlantic together with a mid level trough over the Ohio Valley will direct Isaias up the east coast. The synoptic setup is favorable for a track in our vicinity, but there remains a high degree of uncertainty as to the track and timing of the system. Even a small shift in track will have a large impact on who sees what, rain and wind wise. The track will also have a large impact the strength of the storm. While SSTs are anomalously warm along the eastern seaboard which would be favorable for strengthening, if it skirts the land along the southeast and Mid Atlantic rather than staying offshore, it would be favorable for a weaker system up here. Timing wise, the GFS has slowed up a good deal bringing it in line with the EC/EPS, perhaps owing to supplemental upper air data now being ingested. Current forecasts from the NHC peg the storm around our latitude by late Tuesday. Given the time range, all options remain on the table with regard to track and timing. Something to keep in mind would be the potential for a plume of heavy rain well ahead of the system somewhere over the northeast given components of a Predecessor Rain Event (PRE) are in place. The region is situated beneath the RRQ of a 95 kt upper level jet with a theta-e ridge axis in place and some upslope component to the low level winds. The PWAT plume ahead of the trough is rooted in the tropics and likely surpasses 2" by Tuesday which would allow for heavy rainfall.
