The episode as NWS BOX wrote it up.
A weak cold front moved through Southern New England, sparking showers and thunderstorms. Most of the thunderstorms produced only minor damage from winds and a smattering of large hail, one of the thunderstorms wreaked havoc on the small town of Hinsdale, NH. There, trees and telephone poles were downed all over town, landing on trailers, cars and houses. Trees were also downed on the towns busiest commuter road, Route 119, disrupting traffic during rush hour.
The local office's own words before the first event, 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 the first event at Jul 1, 12:51 PM EST, 27 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
151 PM EDT TUE JUL 1 2008
.SYNOPSIS...
NEAR OR ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES FOR AT LEAST THE NEXT WEEK OR 2
WITH THE FREQUENCY OF SHORT EPISODES OF THUNDERY WEATHER CONTINUING
AS JUNES UNSTABLE WARM PATTERN PERSISTS INTO EARLY JULY. THIS SUMMER
PATTERN FEATURES THE CONSTANCY OF A WESTERN ATLANTIC HIGH PRES SYSTEM
DAMPENING OUT APPROACHING COLD FRONTS SPUN EASTWARD BY THE SOUTHERN
CANADIAN JET STREAM AND ASSOCIATED LOW PRES SYSTEMS.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
CONVECTIVE TEMPERATURES HAVE BEEN REACHED ACROSS INTERIOR PORTIONS OF
SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND EARLY THIS AFTERNOON. THIS HAS ALLOWED FOR WIDELY
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP ACROSS THE
REGION...MAINLY NORTH AND WEST OF INTERSTATE 95. ALONG THE SOUTH
COAST...ONSHORE FLOW CONTINUES TO KEEP LOW LAPSE RATES FAIRLY STABLE.
OVERALL WILL CONTINUE TO MENTION LOW CHANCE POPS ACROSS INTERIOR
LOCATIONS...WITH SLIGHT TO NO CHANCE POPS ALONG THE SOUTHEAST COAST.
AN ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BE SEVERE THIS
AFTERNOON AS WIND FIELDS ALOFT REMAIN FAIRLY STRONG.
FOG PATCHES HAVE DISSIPATED ALONG THE SOUTH COAST...BUT SOME LEFTOVER
MARINE STRATUS CONTINUES TO PERSIST ACROSS BUZZARDS BAY AND THE SOUTH
COAST OF CAPE COD AS WELL AS MARTHAS VINEYARD AND THE ISLANDS. THIS
AREA IS EXPECTED TO EXPAND AGAIN NEAR OR SHORTLY AFTER SUNSET.
OTHERWISE TEMPERATURES APPEAR ON TRACK...DID MAKE SOME MINOR
ADJUSTMENTS TO HOURLY TEMPERATURES AND DEWPOINTS AS WELL AS SKY
COVER. SOME VARIATION IN TEMPERATURE IS OCCURRING GIVEN WIDELY
SCATTERED CONVECTION.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM WEDNESDAY/...
TONIGHT...LEFTOVER CONVECTION WILL LINGER FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS THIS
EVENING...THEN WILL DIMINISH WITH THE LACK OF DAYTIME HEATING...
SIMILAR TO LAST NIGHT. HOWEVER...IT APPEARS THAT THE WEAK TROUGH
WILL REMAIN OVER EASTERN AREAS. VERY TOUGH TO DISCERN THIS FEATURE
ON THE MODELS. NOT MUCH COOL AIR WORKING IN...AS THE PERSISTENT S-SW
FLOW WILL CONTINUE. WILL CONTINUE WARM AND HUMID...THOUGH TEMPS MAY
ACTUALLY DROP INTO THE UPPER 50S IN SW NH/E SLOPES OF THE BERKSHIRES
TO GIVE A LITTLE BRIEF RELIEF THERE.
MORE PATCHY FOG IS LIKELY ESPECIALLY OVER CENTRAL AND EASTERN AREAS
WITH THE HIGHER DEWPOINTS.
ON WEDNESDAY...THE LEFTOVER TROUGH OVER EASTERN AREAS MAY TRY TO
FIRE SOME CONVECTION...BUT NOT A WHOLE LOT OF UPPER SUPPORT OR
DYNAMICS ALONG WITH THE STABILIZING SW WIND INFLUENCE OFF THE OCEAN.
HOWEVER...MIGHT SEE WIDELY SCATTERED ACTIVITY IN THE AFTERNOON...
MAINLY NEAR OR SOUTH OF THE MASS PIKE. KEPT SLIGHT CHANCE POPS GOING
THERE. WILL REMAIN WARM AND HUMID WITH TEMPS TOPPING OFF IN THE 80S.
&&
.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
STRONG THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE LATE THU OR FRI...MAYBE AGAIN SUN AND
NEXT TUE. PLS SEE SPC DAY 1-3 OUTLOOKS AND ASSOCIATED DISCUSSIONS.
WED NIGHT...SHOULD BE A NICE QUIET NIGHT. 00Z/1 MAVMOSGUIDE WAS
MERGED WITH THE PREV 4 PM MONDAY FCST.
THU...FAIRLY VIGOROUS COLD FRONT APPROACHES THURSDAY. SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS ARE LIKELY TO DEVELOP ALONG THIS FRONT OVER UPSTATE NEW
YORK DURING THE DAY. A FEW OF THESE SHOULD BE SEVERE AND ARE CURRENTLY
OUTLOOKED TO IMPACT OUR WESTERN AND NORTHERN ZONES DURING THE LATE
AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS...THEN THE REST OF THE CWA OVERNIGHT. 00Z
EC IS FASTER THAN THE GFS...AS IS THE 21Z SREF. FOR NOW RAISED PREV
FCST POPS TO ABOUT 50 PCT W AND N FRINGES OF THE CWA LATE DAY AND
EVENING...BUT THIS MAY BE UNDERDONE. THE WORDED FCST MAY BE 3 HOURS
TOO SLOW WITH ONSET. IT SHOULD BE HOT AHEAD OF THIS FRONT AND
TEMPERATURES MAY RUN 2 DEGREES WARMER THAN NOW FCST.
FRI...MODELS DISAGREE ON WHERE THE FRONT WILL STALL. THIS WILL IMPACT
THE 4TH OF JULY FORECAST. LATEST 00Z/1 GFS ENSEMBLES ARE QUITE WET
DURING 4TH OF JULY AFTERNOON AND EVENING FOR MUCH OF THE REGION WHILE
THE 00Z/1 ECMWF IS STILL DELAYED A DAY...PROBABLY BECAUSE ITS FRONT
WAS FURTHER S THAN THE 00Z/1 GFS. IMO...WE SHOULD GO WITH THE GFS. THIS
PER 00Z/1 UKMET IDEA. RAISED POPS A BIT LATE FRIDAY BUT DID NOT MAKE A
HASTY DECISION TO CRANK THE POPS WAY UP...DUE TO MODEL CONFIDENCE
UNCERTAINTY AS SEEN ON MY FIRST DAY BACK...PLAYED IT CONSERVATIVE.
SATURDAY...THE GFS IS DRY AND THE ECMWF IS RATHER WET. STILL VERY LOW
CONFIDENCE ON WHAT THE COVERAGE OF SHOWERS/TSTMS WILL BE...BUT IT/S
WORTH A LOW CHANCE POP ATTM. THEREAFTER...THE MODELS ARE IN DECENT
AGREEMENT WITH A RATHER WET SCENARIO...BUT DIDN/T GO ANY HIGHER THAN
LOW CHANCE POPS FOR SUNDAY AND MONDAY.
SUN...GFS IS THUNDERING...AGAIN. PLAYED IT CLOSE TO THE VEST.
THE CURRENT THINKING IS THAT THE FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY PERIOD WILL
NOT BE A WASHOUT THE WHOLE TIME...BUT WAVES OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
FROM TIME TO TIME SEEMS REASONABLE. PLAYED THUNDER AS LOW PROB ATTM IN
THIS PERIOD BUT THIS WILL END UP MORE DEFINED AS WE DRAW CLOSER TO TZERO
/FCST DATE IN QUESTION/.
EARLY NEXT WEEK...NEAR 90F HEAT RETURNS...AND BLENDS WELL INTO THE
DAY 6-10 AND DAYS 8-14 ISSUED YDY FROM CPC AS WELL AS THE 00Z/1 NAEFS
OUTPUT /GFS-GGEM ENS FCST SYSTEM/ KEPT POPS GOING.
TEMPS FRI-TUE WERE EDGED UPWARD PER NEW 2M GFS ENS TEMP FCST.
DEWPOINTS WERE STRAIGHT 00Z/1 GFS MAV MOS GUIDANCE.
&&
.AVIATION /18Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AREAS OF MVFR AND LOCAL IFR CIGS WILL PERSIST THIS AFTERNOON OVER
CAPE/ISLANDS ESPECIALLY ACK...OTHERWISE MAINLY VFR THROUGH THE
AFTERNOON. WIDELY SCT SHRA/TSRA MAY BRING BRIEF MVFR CONDITIONS TO
MAINLY INTERIOR TERMINALS. LOCAL SEABREEZES WILL CONTINUE AT COASTAL
LOCATIONS WITH WINDS SHIFTING TO S AT BOS 21-22Z.
TONIGHT...MVFR/IFR CIGS/VSBYS LIKELY EXPAND ACROSS IMMEDIATE S COAST
AFT 03Z BUT ONGOING AT ACK. LOCAL MVFR FOG POSSIBLE INTERIOR
TERMINALS LATE TONIGHT...OTHERWISE VFR.
WEDNESDAY...EARLY MORNING MVFR/IFR ALONG S COAST...OTHERWISE VFR.
OUTLOOK WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY...
THURSDAY AND FRIDAY...THERE PROBABLY WILL BE A PERIOD OF MVFR/IFR
CONDITIONS AS A COLD FRONT APPROACHES LATE THURSDAY AND INTO FRIDAY
BRINGING THE CHANCE OF MORE SCATTERED SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS. SVR
TSTMS MAY IMPACT AIR TRAVEL FOR SEVERAL HOURS LATE THU AFTN.
SATURDAY...VFR LIKELY BUT A CHANCE OF IFR CONDITIONS EXISTS DEPENDING
ON FRONTAL PLACEMENT AND ASSOCIATED SHOWERS AND TSTMS.
THERE MAY ALSO BE LOWER CONDITIONS IN AREAS OF FOG AND STRATUS
THROUGH THE PERIOD...MAINLY AT NIGHT INTO THE EARLY MORNING HOURS
EACH DAY.
&&
.MARINE...
A HIGH SURF ADVISORY HAS BEEN EXPANDED WEST TO INCLUDE SOUTHERN
BRISTOL...SOUTHERN PLYMOUTH AND NEWPORT COUNTIES GIVEN RECENT BEACH
REPORTS OF MODERATE TO STRONG RIP CURRENTS.
DUE TO CONTINUED S-SW SWELLS IN THE 5-8 FOOT RANGE...HAVE EXTENDED
THE SMALL CRAFT THROUGH TONIGHT. SHOULD START TO SLOWLY SUBSIDE
TONIGHT...BUT MAY NEED TO KEEP GOING INTO WED AS WELL. WILL HAVE THE
DAY SHIFT MONITOR THE SWELL TRENDS THROUGH THE DAYLIGHT HOURS.
AS FOR WINDS...EXPECT S-SW FLOW TO CONTINUE THROUGH WED...THOUGH NOT
EXPECTING SPEEDS MUCH ABOVE 15 KTS. HOWEVER...DUE TO CONTINUED LONG
S-SW FETCH...SWELLS CONTINUE.
OUTLOOK...WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY...
MARGINAL SMALL CRAFT SEAS EXPECTED WED NIGHT ON THE OUTER WATERS IN
MODEST SWLY FLOW. SMALL CRAFT CONDITIONS LOOK LIKE A GOOD BET
THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT. THE
GRADIENT GETS PRETTY TIGHT SO BUILDING SEAS ON SUSTAINED 15KT G25
WINDS LIKELY. SEAS MAY BE SLOW TO SUBSIDE SAT...BUT THE VARIABLE
WINDS IN VICINITY OF THE QSTRY FRONT WILL LIKELY DIMINISH TO LESS
THAN 15 KT.
&&
.CLIMATE...
MONTHLY CLMS HAVE POSTED FOR JUNE AT 605 AM BUT HAVE NOT QCD.
JUNE IS IN THE BOOKS AS A NOTABLY WARMER THAN MONTH. WELL TRY AND
CHECK FREQUENCY OF THUNDER BUT FOR MANY WHO LIKE THE BEACH...IT
SEEMED TO BE AN ABOVE NORMAL MONTH AND MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT AT
MQE...THE MONTH OF JUNE FELL 1 DAY SHORT OF TYING A RECORD FOR MOST
DAYS OF THUNDER IN JUNE.
JUNE AVG TEMP POSITIVE DEPARTURES...
PVD AT LEAST 3.5
ORH AT LEAST 3.0
BDL AND BOS AT LEAST 2.1
RAINFALL WAS NOTABLY WETTER THAN NORMAL ORH BDL ORE WESTWARD AND ALSO
IN PARTS OF S CENTRAL NH WHILE IT WAS A BIT DRIER THAN NORMAL IN PARTS
OF SE MASS AND RI JUST S OF BOS TO TAN AND PVD.
PVD IS CURRENTLY ON A 10 DAY WARMER THAN NORMAL STREAK INCLUSIVE OF
