What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this river flood 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 river flood warning went out at Mar 17, 7:32 AM EDT, 4 hours 15 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Mar 17, 7:32 AM EDT, 4 hours 15 minutes before

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Boston/Norton MA
732 AM EDT Mon Mar 17 2025

.SYNOPSIS...
A strong cold front will bring heavy rain and gusty southerly
wind gusts today, with rain lingering into tonight across SE
New England. Mainly dry and mild weather returns Tuesday into
Thursday. Another frontal system will likely bring a period of
showers sometime late Thursday into Friday, possibly changing to
snow over higher elevations Friday as colder moves back into
the region. Dry and seasonable conditions follow next weekend.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
Key Messages:

* A period of heavy rainfall this morning may result in areas
  of urban and poor drainage flooding

* Heaviest rainfall will impact the morning commute along the
  I-95 corridor to the south coast

* South wind gusts to 45 mph possible across SE MA and southern
  RI

A slow-moving cold front was still located to the west of our
region early this morning. Widespread rainfall arrived
overnight and will continue through a good portion of today.
Some improvement expected across the western half of southern
New England this afternoon as this front makes its way east.
Limited potential for embedded thunderstorms today. Lapse rates
are poor, and not expecting that change with limited sunshine
today. That said, still seeing some lightning south of Long
Island, which may move towards the south coast and adjacent
coastal waters later this morning.

Gusty south winds continue, before shift west to northwest this
afternoon behind this cold front. Winds are not anticipated to
be as strong behind this cold front.

Not nearly as warm as yesterday, but still above normal for mid
March.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY/...
The slow-moving front should finally move offshore tonight into
Tuesday. This will permit a narrow high pressure to arrive from
the west Tuesday. Drying trend from west to east tonight, with
most of southern New England dry Tuesday. Lingering showers
possible towards the Cape and Nantucket.

Above normal temperatures continue.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Key Messages:

* Dry going into Wednesday and much of Thursday

* Next round of rain likely Thursday night into Friday

* Windy Friday following frontal passage with slightly below
  normal temperatures that rebound over the weekend

Details...

Light northerly winds shift to the east as the day goes on
Wednesday. With winds shifting onshore over the eastern MA
coastline, temperatures there will likely be cooler than the
interior and some clouds will most likely linger throughout the
day. Ensembles indicate a good chance that high temperatures
across the interior will reach 55F or above, with roughly 50
percent probs in the CT Valley for temperatures above 60F. River
rises and possible minor flooding from the rain earlier in the
week combined with snowmelt from northern New England will
continue to be a concern along creeks and larger rivers. More
details on that can be found in the hydrology section of this
discussion.

The next system will originate as a trough digging into the
central US that moves northeast into the Great Lakes region.
Its surface low will continue northeast into Ontario, but its
cold front will extend down into the northeast US by Thursday
night. Guidance continues to hint at the development of a
secondary low along this front over the Mid-Atlantic region that
could track through southern New England. Ahead of this system,
winds Thursday shift more to the southeast and pick up in
strength as a result of a tighter pressure gradient. Moisture
from the preceding southerly/SE flow will build up PWATs to
above normal values, sitting around 0.6" to 0.7" across the
region. This is notably lower than the event from earlier in the
week, but it is still significant as it is about one standard
deviation above normal: ensembles have these values at close to
200 percent of normal. The lift from the cold front combined
with this increased moisture will set the stage for more rain --
and possibly some snow in the Berkshires -- across southern New
England starting sometime Thursday night and continuing into
Friday morning.

Cooler temperatures aloft along with post-frontal winds from the
NW will lead to dry, cool and breezy conditions Friday, keeping
lows in the 40s for most and dew points down in the 20s and
teens. The cold front moves offshore by Friday afternoon,
leaving temperatures around 5F below normal overnight. Lows will
likely sit in the 30s for much of the region, with higher
elevations in the upper 20s. Highs rebound into the mid 50s for
Saturday as temperatures aloft get above 0C at 850 mb (and up to
+5C at 925 mb) with breezy W winds. The ECMWF deterministic and
ensemble guidance is hinting at a shortwave approaching just to
the south of the region or right over it Sunday morning, which
may bring some scattered showers depending on how this wave
tracks -- or if it develops at all. Otherwise, light W winds
prevail into Sunday morning, with the other ensembles indicating
more zonal flow.

&&

.AVIATION /12Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
Low - less than 30 percent.
Moderate - 30 to 60 percent.
High - greater than 60 percent.

Today...High Confidence in trends. Moderate confidence in
timing.

Rain begins to taper off from west to east this afternoon.
Guidance remains slow to clear the rain off the east coast,
with showers lingering for eastern terminals into later this
afternoon. CIGS should remain MVFR/IFR until winds turn more
westerly, but guidance may be a bit too slow on improving CIGS
with the wind shift.

Tonight...High Confidence in trends. Moderate confidence in
timing.

CIGS should improve to VFR across the interior into tomorrow
morning. Eastern terminals, esspically the Cape and Islands may
see lingering MVFR/IFR CIGS. Cape and Islands could also see
periods of LIFR. Winds begin to shift north at 10-20 knots.

Tuesday...High confidence.

VFR across the western half of southern New England. MVFR and
local IFR becoming VFR by early afternoon farther east.

KBOS TAF...Moderate confidence in TAF.

KBDL TAF...Moderate Confidence in TAF.

Outlook /Tuesday Night through Friday/...

Tuesday Night through Wednesday: VFR.

Wednesday Night: VFR. Breezy.

Thursday: Mainly VFR, with local MVFR possible. Breezy. Chance
RA.

Thursday Night: Mainly MVFR, with areas IFR possible. Windy

.HYDROLOGY...
Still thinking total rainfall amounts from 1.00-2.00 inches
mainly north and west of Interstate 95, with the heaviest
rainfall totals forecast across RI and portions of southeast MA
with amounts here ranging from 2-2.5 inches. Although the
location/placement of where the heaviest rainfall occurs is
pretty well agreed upon, there's only moderate confidence in
rain amounts and the potential exists for up to 3" totals in
spots in sustained, slow-moving downpours towards the south
coast.

Although this is quite a slug of rain, especially across
southeast New England, significant and/or widespread flooding
are not expected at this time. NERFC 6-hourly flash flood
guidance is around 2.5-3" in interior Southern New England, and
around 3 to 5 inches in southeast New England and we'll fall
short of those thresholds. Ponding of water and areas of minor
street flooding in some of the larger urban metro areas in
southeast New England which are especially flood-prone
(Providence/Cranston, New Bedford and Fall River) could develop
Monday, although we don't expect this to rise to significant
levels.

However, we'll need to keep a close eye on creeks and larger
rivers not just with the initial slug of rainfall, but also as
additional/higher flows up the CT River in response to snowmelt
occurring in VT/NH take place over the next couple of days.
Within-bank rises are expected on most rivers in eastern and
southeast New England, although we could have to watch the Wood
and Pawtuxet Rivers in RI if we do get higher rainfall amounts.
Farther west in the CT River Basin, latest NERFC forecasts as
of early Sunday afternoon call for several of our CT River
forecast points to rise into minor flood stage on Tuesday
(Montague MA and Northhampton MA around 5 AM Tuesday) and
Wednesday (Thompsonville CT and Hartford CT early Wednesday
morning). River flood warnings could be needed for these rivers
in the coming day(s).
