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 24, 2:08 PM EDT, 1 hour 23 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Aug 24, 2:08 PM EDT, 1 hour 23 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Boston/Norton MA 208 PM EDT Mon Aug 24 2020 .SYNOPSIS... Warm and humid conditions to continue through Tuesday. Scattered thunderstorms are expected to develop again today, a few of which may become strong to severe. Thunderstorms may be more numerous on Tuesday ahead of a strong cold front, and those may also become strong to severe. Dry, autumn feel across southern New England on Wednesday. Unsettled pattern returns late in the week and heading into the weekend with temperatures trending upward. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/... 2 PM Update... * Scattered strong-severe thunderstorms into early evening especially near and south of the MA Turnpike Scattered strong to severe thunderstorms were beginning to develop across southern New England. SPC Meso-Analysis is indicating over 3000 J/KG of Cape across southern New England. This partially a result of modest mid level lapse rates on the order of 6 C/KM and even a bit higher. Despite marginal effective shear of 25 knots, the amount of instability will be enough to trigger scattered strong to severe thunderstorms into early this evening. The main threat will be localized damaging wind gusts given DCape values on the order of 1000 J/KG. However, given modest mid level lapse rates and a lot of instability the risk exists for isolated reports of large hail. While the threat for scattered strong to severe thunderstorms exists across the entire region, areas near and south of the MA Turnpike have the highest risk. This is where the best instability/forcing are aligned. Lastly, slow moving storms will be capable of producing heavy rain and localized urban street flooding. && .SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM TUESDAY/... Tonight: Any leftover storms should be weakening and/or moving offshore early tonight. Should see improving conditions as we move into the midnight/early-overnight hrs. While generally clear for the interior, will again see development of patchy fog and/or low stratus overnight towards the South Coast and the Cape. Lows in the 60s. Tuesday: ** Strong to severe thunderstorms capable of gusty winds and hail possible Tuesday ** While there are some uncertainties and limiting factors, Tuesday still continues to look quite active. The very warm and humid conditions presently across Southern New England will continue to exist ahead of a powerful cold front and related strong mid/upper level trough to support a risk for strong to severe thunderstorms. SPC has maintained 15%/Slight Risk severe probabilities for Tuesday, these probabilities maintained from the earlier Day-3 and Day-4 outlooks. On the cold front itself, guidance continues to vary on exact timing of the frontal passage thru Southern New England. This will need some refining, but at the moment we could be looking at a late- morning to mid-afternoon frontal passage. Given the strength of the flow aloft, the front should be hauling fairly quickly through our area and that may limit how much we can destabilize before the front arrives. Still, storms which form are expected to get a boost from strong forcing tied to the digging shortwave trough. With effective- layer wind shear values around 40-45 kt and most-unstable CAPE values conservatively around 1500-2000 J/kg, this is an environment that supports severe weather in the form of gusty/damaging winds and hail. While straight hodographs and shear values support organized multicells and splitting-supercell types, the strength of the front may make it difficult for storms to stay cellular long enough with a favored linear mode. Though guidance varies on placement of frontal storms, consistency in SPC's convective forecasts and the instability/shear and forcing make a compelling argument to include gusty winds and small hail in the forecast. Stay tuned! Will again see temperatures rise into the mid to upper 80s on Tuesday, only slightly cooler than prior days. Will also have westerly breezes pre-frontal, with a sharp wind shift to northwest arriving late in the day. && .LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/... Highlights * Will feel like autumn on Wednesday as a Canadian high nudges into the region. * Appears unsettled late in the week and heading into the weekend. May see drier weather return by Sunday. Tuesday night through Wednesday night... Upper trough slides offshore Tuesday night into early Wednesday, while a ridge builds from Manitoba into northern Ontario. The ridge will keep building into northern Ontario through Wednesday. At the surface a cold front will be offshore. Behind the front, a Canadian high will nudge into the region from Ontario/James Bay. Any leftover showers and thunderstorms will be winding down with the front offshore. Skies will clear fairly quickly Tuesday evening into early Wednesday, so could have strong radiational cooling across the region with plummeting dew points. Have nudged low temperatures toward the 25th percentile of guidance. Have kept from going cooler as winds may stay up due to the tight pressure gradient across the region from the departing front and high nudging in. Lows falling into the upper 40s across far northwest MA and in the 50s elsewhere. Will remain breezy across southern New England on Wednesday with the tightened pressure gradient in place. Will be a big change from the past couple of days with an autumn like feel and very comfortable with dew points in the 40s to low 50s. Aloft will see 4 to 8 degree Celsius cold air advection. This results in high temperatures in the lower to middle 70s across the region. There may perhaps be a few upper 70 degree readings across the CT River Valley being aided by W/WNW downsloping at 925 hPa. Wednesday night through Sunday... Confidence in the forecast significantly diminishes during this timeframe. The majority of Wednesday night into Thursday morning will be dry, but there are hints that a decaying thunderstorm complex slides southeastward into southern New England or the Mid Atlantic for Thursday from the central Great Lakes. Given that this is 48+ hours out and outside the window of CAMs (this complex would have origins in the Upper Mississippi River Valley), have kept a blended model approach. This keeps southern New England under slight chance to chances of precipitation. Will need to see how things evolve upstream in future updates, but there is a few hundred J/kg of MUCAPE in place along with 45-50+ kts of 0-6 km shear. Do expect temperatures and dew points to rise as flow becomes more W to WSW aloft. Will be slightly warmer with readings in the mid to upper 70s. Should still be comfortable with dew points in the 50s, though southern portions of the region may creep into the lower 60s. Lots of spread amongst guidance from Thursday through Saturday as the remnants of Laura get pulled into the upper flow late in the week. This may interact with a trough digging into the Great Lakes, but there are timing and amplitude differences in the strength of the trough. As stated earlier, appears that it will remain unsettled with rain chances Friday and Saturday. May see a ridge build into Ontario on Sunday and provide drier weather. && .AVIATION /18Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/... Forecaster Confidence Levels... Low - less than 30 percent. Moderate - 30 to 60 percent. High - greater than 60 percent. 18Z Update... This Afternoon...Moderate confidence. Scattered SHRA/TSRA will continue into early this evening with areal coverage the greatest near and south of the MA Turnpike. So while VFR conditions dominate, localized pockets of IFR-LIFR conditions possible in any strong thunderstorms. Localized strong wind gusts possible too. Low clouds/fog should mainly be confined to ACK and parts of the Cape. Tonight...Moderate confidence. Scattered SHRA/TSRA should be winding down towards 00z, but can not rule out a bit of activity lingering an hour or two longer. Otherwise, VFR much of the evening but patchy ground fog may develop late in the typically prone locations. Low clouds should be confined to ACK and perhaps near the south coast and Cape Cod. Light SW winds. Tuesday...Moderate confidence. Patchy ground fog should burnoff by mid morning, yielding mainly VFR conditions. The main concern will be Tuesday afternoon and evening with the potential for a few strong thunderstorms. Some uncertainty on areal coverage, but a few may result in strong wind gusts. Tuesday night...High confidence. Any left over convection should wind down early in the evening. Otherwise, VFR with NW winds of 5 to 15 knots with some 20 to 25 knot gusts expected across portions of the coastal plain. KBOS Terminal...Moderate confidence in TAF. Main concern is the threat for scattered thunderstorms in the vicinity of the terminal until about 00z. KBDL Terminal...Moderate confidence in TAF. Main concern is the threat for scattered thunderstorms in the vicinity of the terminal until about 00z. Outlook /Tuesday Night through Friday/... Wednesday: VFR. Breezy. Wednesday Night: Mainly VFR, with local MVFR possible. Thursday: Mainly MVFR, with areas VFR possible. Breezy. Chance SHRA, slight chance TSRA. Thursday Night: Mainly VFR, with areas MVFR possible. Slight chance SHRA, slight chance TSRA. Friday: Mainly MVFR, with areas VFR possible. Chance SHRA. && .MARINE... 730 AM Update... Fog and stratus will linger across the ocean waters through today and into tonight. Some locations may see the fog/stratus burn off, but think overall most areas will remain socked in per high res guidance. Previous discussion... Winds and seas on the waters to be below small craft advisory thresholds. Gusts under 20 kt today from the SW with seas under 3'. On Tuesday, strengthening low-level winds ahead of a strong cold front could support borderline SCA gusts on the southern waters with seas in the 3 to 4' range. Areas of fog to dissipate over the waters early this morning, though another round of fog/stratus is anticipated again tonight. Fog may be locally dense at times. Thunderstorms, some strong, may threaten the waters today but a better potential is on Tuesday. Looking ahead, we may need to consider marine headlines into Wednesday due to strong NW winds behind the cold front. Outlook /Tuesday Night through Friday/... Tuesday Night: Winds less than 25 kt. Seas up to 5 ft. Wednesday through Wednesday Night: Winds less than 25 kt. Seas locally approaching 5 ft. Thursday: Winds less than 25 kt. Seas locally approaching 5 ft. Chance of rain showers, slight chance of thunderstorms. Thursday Night: Winds less than 25 kt. Chance of rain showers, slight chance of thunderstorms. Friday: Winds less than 25 kt. Chance of rain showers. && .BOX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... CT...None. MA...None. RI...None.
