The episode as NWS BOX wrote it up.

NWS Boston/Norton, MA wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 30, 4:06 PM EST, 4 hours 7 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA 506 PM EDT TUE JUN 30 2009 .SYNOPSIS... LOW PRESSURE OVER THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES AND ITS ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT WILL RESULT IN COOLER AND UNSETTLED WEATHER THROUGH AT LEAST THURSDAY. THIS LOW WILL LIFT NORTHWARD BY FRIDAY BUT ANOTHER UPPER LOW WILL DROP SOUTHWARD FROM CANADA DURING THE WEEKEND AND EARLY NEXT WEEK CONTINUING THE THREAT OF SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING/... CONVECTION THIS EVENING IS CHANGING FROM DEVELOPING WITHIN THE NW PART OF THE CWA MOVING N TO ADVECTING NEWD FROM E NYS WITH DYING CONVECTION CROSSING INTO THE FAR W PART OF THE CWA AS HWO TIMED. DO NOT THINK ANYTHING MAJOR BUT ISO SVR POSS...PRIMARILY E SLOPES OF THE BERKS. OTRW...STRATUS PREVAILING CC BAY GHG-BOS-ORH-AFN NEWD THRU WED MORNING. THAT RAPIDLY DEVELOPS NWWD DURING THE NIGHT. MIST/DRIZZLE SHOULD DEVELOP ALONG PARTS OF THE COAST OVERNIGHT WITH CLEAR SKIES ABOVE THE STRATUS WITH NE SFC WIND BENEATH A SE BL WIND. && .SHORT TERM /6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/... WEDNESDAY...CONTINUED BROAD COLD POOL ALOFT AND SURFACE HEATING WILL CAUSE DESTABILIZATION ONCE AGAIN...LEADING TO MORE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. MAIN AREA OF FOCUS SHOULD BE CT RVR WEST DURING THE AFTN/EVE. CONFIDENCE ON SHOWERS IN E MASS AND RI IS BLO AVG AND WE MAY NEED TO TRIM THE POPS IN FUTURE ISSUANCES... THO IT COULD BE WET IN THE MORNING ALONG THE COAST DUE TO DRIZZLE. WED NIGHT...COLD POOL ALOFT MAY KEEP CONVECTION GOING DURING THE NIGHT OR ALLOW IT TO SPROUT FURTHER E IN THE CWA PER WAA BENEATH E EDGE OF THE COOL POOL ALOFT. POPS BOTH PERIODS ARE 09Z SREF WITH SOME SMALL ADJUSTMENTS. TEMPS ARE RGEM/GFS BLEND WITH DOWNWARD ADJUSTMENT BOS-BVY REGION WED AFTN. WINDS ARE MOSTLY NAM OR MET NAM SINCE I BLV THE NAM BL WINDS ARE A BETTER FCST THAN THE 12Z GFS. THEY CERTAINLY WERE TODAY. && .LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... PERSISTENT LONGWAVE TROF OVER GREAT LAKES AND NE WILL MAINTAIN UNSETTLED WX PATTERN WITH MOSTLY BELOW NORMAL TEMPS ACROSS NEW ENG THROUGH THE EXTENDED PERIOD. INITIAL MID LEVEL LOW OVER THE LAKES EARLY IN THE PERIOD WILL EXIT THE REGION LATE FRI/SAT BUT ANOTHER VORTEX DROPPING SWD FROM EASTERN CANADA WILL RESULT IN REAMPLIFICATION OF THE LONGWAVE TROF THIS WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. THERE ARE DIFFERENCES IN THE MED RANGE GUIDANCE REGARDING THE AMPLITUDE AND PLACEMENT OF THE MID LEVEL LOW BUT MEAN TROF LOOKS TO BE IN THE NE THROUGH MON WITH GEFS MEAN INDICATING 500 MB HEIGHTS 1-2SD BELOW NORMAL. THU...MID LEVEL LOW OVER THE LAKES WITH OCCLUSION AND POSSIBLE WEAK SFC WAVE MOVING EAST INTO SNE. IT LOOKS LIKE WARM FRONT WILL STAY SOUTH OF THE COAST. WITH DEEP MOISTURE IN PLACE AND LEFT EXIT REGION OF UPPER JET EXPECT SHOWERS AND SCT TSTMS TO BE MORE WIDESPREAD ACROSS THE REGION SO POPS WERE INCREASED TO LIKELY OR CATEGORICAL WITH HIGHEST POPS W ZONES CLOSEST TO MID LEVEL LOW. CLOUDS AND SHOWERS SHOULD LIMIT SFC INSTABILITY SO NOT CONFIDENT ON SEVERE WEATHER. MAV TEMPS LOOKED TOO WARM SO WE USED A MAV/MET BLEND TO GIVE WEIGHT TO COOLER MET GUIDANCE. TEMPS AVERAGE 5 TO 10 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL. THE FRONT PUSHES EAST ACROSS SNE THU NIGHT. LINGERING SHOWERS/TSTMS POSSIBLE IN THE EVENING THEN GENERALLY DRY OVERNIGHT. FRI...MID LEVEL LOW BEGINS TO LIFT NORTHWARD BUT COLD POOL ALOFT LINGERS ACROSS THE REGION WITH 500 MB TEMPS -14C. THIS INSTABILITY WILL LIKELY RESULT IN SCT SHOWERS/TSTMS DEVELOPING ESPECIALLY DURING THE AFTERNOON. TEMPS NEAR OR SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL. SAT...NEXT MID LEVEL LOW WILL BE DROPPING SWD FROM ONTARIO. INSTABILITY INCREASES DURING THE AFTERNOON IN THE INTERIOR WHERE BEST CHC OF CONVECTION WILL BE LATE IN THE DAY. THINK THE COASTAL PLAIN REMAINS DRY ON SAT. STRONG MID LEVEL JET ROUNDING THE BASE OF THE TROF MOVES INTO THE REGION LATE SAT SO POTENTIAL FOR STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS IF INSTABILITY IS REALIZED. NEAR SEASONABLE TEMPS EXPECTED. SUN-MON...MODELS DIFFER ON TIMING LOCATION AND AMPLITUDE OF MID LEVEL LOW. GFS/ECMWF MUCH MORE AMPLIFIED THAN GGEM/UKMET WITH TROF AXIS OVER THE NE WHILE UKMET/GGEM FURTHER EAST AND LESS AMPLIFIED. FOLLOWED GEFS MEAN SOLUTION AND WILL HAVE LOW CHC POPS DURING THIS PERIOD BUT IT COULD BE WARMER AND DRIER THAN FORECAST INDICATES IF UKMET/GGEM ARE CORRECT. FORECAST CONFIDENCE IS LOW. TUE...GFS STILL HAS MEAN TROF ACROSS THE REGION BUT GEFS MEAN NOT SUPPORTIVE WITH TROF AXIS WELL TO THE EAST AND NW FLOW SO WE WENT WITH DRY FORECAST. && .AVIATION /21Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/... TONIGHT...TAFS POSTED AS BEST AS WE COULD DETERMINISTICALLY PREDICT. HOWEVER...WOULD ADD PROBABILISTICALLY THAT I THINK LOWER CIGS ARE ULTIMATELY THE MORE PROBABLE OUTCOME THROUGH 16Z WEDNESDAY. SREF PROBS DOESNT SEEM TO BE THAT USEFUL. THAT MEANS IFR CONDS ALONG THE COAST EXPAND INLAND DURING THE NIGHT WITH CLEAR SKIES ABOVE UNTIL CONVECTIVE DEBRIS CLOUDS ARRIVES OVERNIGHT. WED AFTN...CONFIDENCE LOW. SHOULD BE VFR CIGS WITH BIG TSTMS CT RVR VALLEY WESTWARD WHILE ALONG THE COAST THE IFR ST/FOG THINS TO VFR. WED NIGHT...CONDS LOWER DURING THE NIGHT TO IFR CONDS IN ST/FOG SCT SHOWERS AND TSTMS. OUTLOOK /THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/... THURSDAY...MVFR IN SHOWERS AND SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS. AREAS OF IFR POSSIBLE IN THE MORNING IN ST/FOG. FRIDAY...MAINLY VFR...BUT SCT SHOWERS/TSTMS POSSIBLE ESPECIALLY IN THE AFTERNOON WHICH COULD BRIEFLY LOWER CONDITIONS TO MVFR. SATURDAY...MAINLY VFR. SCATTERED MVFR CIGS/VSBYS IN SCATTERED LATE DAY SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS...MAINLY INTERIOR. SUNDAY...MAINLY VFR. && .MARINE... TONIGHT...LOW VISIBILITIES IN FOG AFTER MIDNIGHT. OTHERWISE WINDS AND SEAS EXPECTED TO REMAIN BELOW SCA CRITERIA. WEDNESDAY...LIGHT SOUTHERLY SWELL CONTINUES LESS THAN 4 FT. WINDS REMAIN LIGHT. LOW VISIBILITIES IN FOG PATCHES DURING THE MORNING. WEDNESDAY NIGHT...AREAS OF FOG...SOME LOCALLY DENSE FOG POSSIBLE AS HUMID AIR MOVES ACROSS THE WATERS. OUTLOOK /THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/... WINDS GENERALLY BELOW SCA THROUGH THE PERIOD ALTHOUGH A BRIEF PERIOD OF SW WIND GUSTS APPROACHING 25 KT IS POSSIBLE ON FRI. SEAS UP TO 5 FT OVER THE OUTER SOUTHERN WATERS THU THROUGH SAT. && .CLIMATE... PRELIMINARY DATA...
