The episode as NWS BOX wrote it up.
A wave of low pressure moving along a stationary front in place across Southern New England produced showers and thunderstorms across much of the region.
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 Jun 4, 3:29 PM EST, 11 hours 2 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA 429 PM EDT FRI JUN 4 2010 .SYNOPSIS... A STATIONARY FRONT WILL WAVER NORTH AND SOUTH ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND THIS WEEKEND AS WAVES OF LOW PRESSURE MOVE ALONG IT. THE FRONT WILL MOVE SOUTH OF NEW ENGLAND LATE SUNDAY. HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN EARLY TO MID WEEK WITH DRIER SEASONABLE AIR. LOW PRESSURE MAY BRING ANOTHER CHANCE OF SHOWERS WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SATURDAY MORNING/... PLEASANT EVENING AHEAD WITH DIURNAL CUMULUS CLOUDS FADING LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING. THUS DRY WEATHER WILL PREVAIL THIS EVENING. MILD CONDITIONS INLAND WITH DEW PTS IN THE U50S AND L60S PRECLUDING A RAPID TEMP DROP. FROM MIDNIGHT AND BEYOND WARM FRONT SOUTH OF NEW ENGLAND WILL BEGIN TO LIFT NORTH TOWARD THE REGION. CONVECTION LATE THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS THE OH/PA AND THE DC AREA WILL BEGIN TAKING AIM AT SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND. INSTABILITY ALOFT ALONG WITH DEEP LAYER SHEAR VALUES ARE MARGINAL FOR SEVERE WEATHER. SO MORE LIKELY SCENARIO IS FOR SOME ELEVATED CONVECTION TO ROLL ACROSS THE REGION OVERNIGHT WITH MOST OR ALL STORMS REMAINING SUB-SEVERE. PWATS CLIMB ABOVE 1.5 INCHES SO ANY STORM WILL BE CAPABLE OF HEAVY DOWNPOURS. FOG AND STRATUS SOUTH AND SOUTHEAST OF LONG ISLAND WILL LIKELY ROLL ONSHORE OF RI AND SOUTHEAST MA LATER THIS EVENING AS BOUNDARY LAYER COOLS AFTER SUNSET. EXPECT AREAS OF FOG WITH PATCHES OF DENSE FOG ESPECIALLY ACROSS RI AND SOUTHEAST MA AS WARM FRONT APPROACHES. && .SHORT TERM /6 AM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/... SATURDAY... WARM FRONT MOVING THROUGH THE REGION IN THE MORNING. EXPECTING SHOWERS AND POSSIBLE TSTMS DURING THIS TIME WITH THIS FEATURE. CONVECTION SHOULD EXIT THE AREA BY MID TO LATE MORNING WITH WARM SECTOR OVERSPREADING THE REGION DURING THE AFTERNOON. THEN QUESTION THEN BECOMES DO SHOWERS AND TSTMS DEVELOP IN THE WARM SECTOR DURING THE AFTN AND WILL ANY STORMS BECOME SEVERE. ALL MODEL GUIDANCE SUGGEST SEVERE PARAMETERS /INSTABILITY ALOFT-DEEP LAYER SHEAR AND FORCING/ ARE ALL MARGINAL. IN ADDITION...BOTH NAM AND GFS HAVE SURFACE DEW PTS CLIMBING INTO THE LOW AND MID 70S WHICH OFFERS VERY LARGE CAPE OF 2000-3000J/KG. MEANWHILE MOS FROM BOTH THE NAM AND GFS OFFER MORE TAME SFC DEW PTS IN THE M60S. THIS IS LIKELY MORE REALISTIC. OTHER POSSIBLE LIMITING FACTOR IS THAT THE FLOW IS FAIRLY PROGRESSIVE WITH THE NEXT SHORT WAVE TROF QUICKLY ON ITS HEELS ARRIVING HERE LATE SAT NGT. SO THERE MAY BE ENOUGH SHORT WAVE RIDGING BETWEEN DEPARTING TROF SAT AM AND NEXT SHORT WAVE ARRIVING SAT NGT TO PROVIDE SOMEWHAT OF A CAP HERE AND LIMIT TSTM COVERAGE. SO THINKING THE OVERALL THREAT IS MARGINAL. WILL FORECAST SCATTERED TSTMS WITH POSSIBLE A FEW STORMS BECOMING STRONG TO SEVERE. WILL ADD ENHANCED WORDING FOR GUSTY WINDS AND SMALL HAIL. APPEARS PARAMETERS ARE MORE FAVORABLE ACROSS RI AND EASTERN MA. MORE CERTAIN THAT HEAVY DOWNPOURS WILL BE LIKELY AS PWATS CLIMB TO NEAR 2.0 INCHES. SAT NIGHT... NEXT SHORT WAVE TROF EXITS THE OH VLY AND APPROACHES SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND. CHANCE OF SHOWERS WILL INCREASE ESPECIALLY AFTER MIDNIGHT FROM WEST TO EAST. MILD AND HUMID NIGHT. && .LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/... ZONAL FLOW STARTS TO BEND SUNDAY AS THE QUEBEC UPPER LOW DIGS A SHORTWAVE THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES WHICH THEN SWEEPS ACROSS NEW ENGLAND MONDAY. THE GENERAL TREND FOR THE UPCOMING WEEK WILL THEN BE BUILDING HEIGHTS ALOFT AS AN UPPER RIDGE SHIFTS EAST. SUNDAY... MAIN FORECAST CHALLENGE COMES SUNDAY WITH THE POSITION OF THE STALLED FRONT AND RESULTING TRACK OF SURFACE LOW PRESSURE ALONG IT. THE NAM AND GLOBAL GEM TRACK THE LOW ALONG THE NH BORDER WHILE THE GFS TAKES THE LOW THROUGH CT. THE 12Z ECMWF IS SIMILAR TO THE GFS BUT SLIGHTLY MORE NORTH. CONSENSUS TRACK POSITION WOULD BE ACROSS NORTHERN CT OR ALONG THE BORDER OF CT/RI WITH MASS. WE USED THIS CONSENSUS FOR THE FORECAST. BASED ON THE TRACK...WE MAINTAINED STRONG LIKELY POPS ALL ZONES. TEMPTATION WAS TO BUMP UP TO CATEGORICAL BUT THE FORECAST TRACK HAS SHIFTED ENOUGH IN RECENT DAYS TO BRING SOME HESITIATION. IF THIS FORECAST TRACK IS REPEATED ON THE 00Z MODEL SUITE THEN CATEGORICAL POPS MAY BE JUSTIFIED. ALSO BASED ON THE TRACK AND ON FORECAST STABILITY INDICIES WE HAVE BROUGHT CHANCE POPS FOR THUNDER TO CT-RI- SE MASS AND NO THUNDER NORTH OF I-90. FORECAST PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES CONTINUE 1.7 TO 2.0 INCHES...SO HEAVY DOWNPOURS ARE LIKELY AS WELL. TEMPS ARE A BLEND OF MAV AND MET MOS VALUES...SHIFTED AS NECESSARY TO ALLOW FOR A DIURNAL RANGE AROUND 10F. MONDAY-TUESDAY-WEDNESDAY HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS OVER THE REGION EARLY WEEK. THE UPPER TROF NOTED ABOVE ROTATES THROUGH NEW ENGLAND MONDAY WITH SOME COOLING ALOFT. THIS COULD RESULT IN A FEW MORE CLOUDS THAN FORECAST...ESPECIALLY IN SRN NH/NORTHERN MASS...AND POSSIBLE WIDELY SCATTERED SHOWERS/SPRINKLES. 850 MB TEMPS 6-8C WITH SLIGHTLY WARMER EQUIVILENT AT 800 MB...THIS SHOULD SUPPORT MAX TEMPS IN THE 70S. DEWPOINTS IN THE 40S AND LOW 50S SHOULD SUPPORT MIN TEMPS AROUND 50 OR IN THE 50S. THURSDAY LOW PRESSURE FROM THE PLAINS APPROACHES THURSDAY. THE ECMWF AND GFS INDICATE A SYSTEM PASSING ON THURSDAY...POSSIBLY SPINNING UP A COASTAL LOW AS IT PASSES. WE WILL BRING CHANCE POPS FOR SHOWERS AND AWAIT FURTHER MODEL SUITES. FRIDAY HIGH PRESSURE RETURNS WITH DRY WEATHER. && .AVIATION /21Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... LATE THIS AFTERNOON... VFR WITH ISOLATED SHOWER POSSIBLE. HIGH CONFIDENCE. KBOS...VFR WITH ISOLATED SHOWER POSSIBLE. EAST SEABREEZE VEERING TO SE LATE IN THE DAY. HIGH CONFIDENCE. TONIGHT... LOW CONFIDENCE FORECAST. EXPECT CIGS TO LOWER TO MVFR LATE TONIGHT WITH INCREASING RISK OF SHOWERS. CIGS AND VSBYS MAY LOWER TO IFR ACROSS RI AND SOUTHEAST MA AS WARM FRONT APPROACHES THE REGION. UNCERTAINTY IS IN COVERAGE OF IFR CONDITIONS IN SHOWERS/FOG AND ISOLATED TSTM. AT THE MOMENT LEANING TOWARD IFR ONLY. KBOS...MUCH THE SAME...LOW CONFIDENCE FORECAST. MVFR CONDITIONS LATE WITH POSSIBLE IFR TOWARD SUNRISE IN SHOWERS/FOG AND ISOLATED THUNDER. SAT... MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS IN THE MORNING WILL IMPROVE TO VFR AROUND MIDDAY. LOW CONFIDENCE ON COVERAGE OF POSSIBLE AFTN-EVENING SHOWERS/TSTMS. A FEW STRONG STORMS ARE POSSIBLE. KBOS...NOT MUCH DIFFERENCE FROM THE OTHER TERMINALS. LOW RISK OF IFR CONDITIONS EARLY. OTHERWISE MVFR IMPROVING TO VFR DURING MIDDAY. LOW CONFIDENCE ON COVERAGE OF POSSIBLE AFTN-EVENING SHOWERS/TSTMS. A FEW STRONG STORMS ARE POSSIBLE. SAT NIGHT... SHOULD BE A LULL SAT EVENING IN ANY SHOWER/TSTM ACTION BEFORE WIDESPREAD SHOWERS IMPACT ALL TERMINALS LATE /TOWARD SUN AM/. LOW CONFIDENCE ON TIMING. OUTLOOK...SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY... SUNDAY...HIGH CONFIDENCE OF MVFR CIGS/VSBYS IN SHOWERS/SCATTERED TSTMS. MODERATE CONFIDENCE IN IFR PERIODS DUE TO FOG AND SHOWERS ESPECIALLY PVD-FMH-HYA-ACK. MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...VFR. POSSIBLE PATCHY IFR IN MORNING FOG. && .MARINE... TONIGHT... LEFTOVER SE SWELL ON THE OCEAN WATERS. MAIN HAZARD WILL BE LIMITED VSBY AFT MIDNIGHT IN AREAS OF DENSE FOG ESPECIALLY SOUTH COAST. CHANCE OF TSTMS LATE TONIGHT AND TOWARD DAYBREAK. SAT... SCATTERED SHOWERS AND POSSIBLE TSTM EARLY THEN STORMS MAY REFIRE DURING THE AFTERNOON. SSW WINDS INCREASE TO 15-20 KT. VSBY LIMITED IN THE MORNING IN PATCHY DENSE FOG. SAT NIGHT... SHOWERS BECOME WIDESPREAD LATE AS LOW PRES MOVES ACRS PA. PATCHY DENSE FOG POSSIBLE. OUTLOOK...SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY... SUNDAY...WIND GUSTS 25-30 KNOTS AND ROUGH SEAS EXPECTED ALONG WITH SHOWERS AND SCATTERED TSTMS. HIGHEST LIKELIHOOD IS OVER THE SOUTHERN WATERS.
