The episode as NWS BOX wrote it up.
A cold front moved through southern New England, returning as a warm front the following day. Storms fired along the warm front, producing significant wind damage and localized flooding.
One of these storms produced a macroburst that affected much of the Boston metro area with 60 to 70 mph winds with isolated pockets of winds up to 80 mph. This resulted in significant wind damage across portions of Middlesex, Norfolk, Suffolk, and Essex counties.
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 6, 9:47 AM EST, 2 hours 18 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
1047 AM EDT SUN JUN 6 2010
.SYNOPSIS...
A STATIONARY FRONT WILL LIFT A BIT NORTH OF THE REGION THIS MORNING.
LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE OUT OF THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES...PUSHING
ACROSS THE REGION THIS AFTERNOON INTO THE EARLY EVENING. THE FRONT
WILL THEN HEAD SOUTH OF NEW ENGLAND TONIGHT...BRINGING DRIER AND
MORE SEASONABLE WEATHER. A WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE MAY BRING A ROUND OF
RAIN TO THE REGION SOMETIME LATE WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY...FOLLOWED
BY SEASONABLE WEATHER FRIDAY AND SATURDAY.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
INITIAL BATCH OF SHOWERS ASSOCD WITH THE LOW LEVEL JET ARE QUICKLY
MOVING EWD AND EXITING THE REGION. NOW OUR ATTENTION WILL TURN TO
SEVERE WEATHER THREAT THIS AFTERNOON AS SFC LOW TRACKS TO THE NORTH
WITH STRONG COLD FRONT MOVING INTO THE REGION LATE TODAY.
VERY DYNAMIC SET UP WITH IMPRESSIVE MID LEVEL JET AROUND 80 KT AT 500
MB PUNCHING INTO REGION THIS AFTERNOON AND 850 MB WINDS 50 KT. 0-6KM
SHEAR UP TO 60 KT AHEAD OF THE FRONT AND THERE IS ALSO GOOD LOW LEVEL
SHEAR AND TURNING SOUTH OF THE SFC LOW TRACK. WIND FIELD AND DEEP
LAYER SHEAR GIVES POTENTIAL FOR HIGH END SEVERE WEATHER EVENT THIS
AFTERNOON. INSTABILITY WILL BE THE KEY TO REALIZING THIS POTENTIAL.
LOTS OF CLOUDS ACROSS THE REGION THIS MORNING WITH INCREASING BREAKS
IMEDIATE SOUTH COAST SW THROUGH NYC AREA AND MID ATLC. WARM FRONT
NEAR THE MASS PIKE WILL LIFT A BIT FURTHER NWD UT WARM SECTOR MAY
NOT REACH SW NH AND NW MA. EXPECT MOCLDY SKIES THIS AFTERNOON FOR
MUCH OF THE REGION BUT ALSO EXPECT SOME BREAKS OF SUN ESPECIALLY
SOUTH OF THE PIKE WHERE BEST INSTABILITY IS LIKELY IN SNE. TEMPS
INTO THE UPPER 70S AND LOWER 80S AND DEWPOINTS IN UPPER 60S TO NEAR
70 WILL RESULT IN SBCAPES 1000-2000 J/KG...MAINLY SOUTH OF THE PIKE
WITH COOLER TEMPS RESULTING IS LESS INSTABILITY FAR N ZONES. THE ONE
NEGATIVE FACTOR THIS AFTERNOON IS THAT MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES ARE NOT
THAT IMPRESSIVE SO WE WILL NEED SUFFICIENT SFC HEATING TO COMPENSATE
FOR WEAKER MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES.
MOST UNSTABLE AREA THIS AFTERNOON WILL BE ACROSS NYC TO MID ATLC
REGION WHILE BEST SHEAR TO THE NORTH OF SNE. IT IS WHERE THESE 2
AREAS COME CLOSEST TO INTERSECTING THAT THE MOST SIGNIFICANT SEVERE
WEATHER WILL OCCUR. BEST CHANCE OF SEVERE WX IN SNE SHOULD BE SOUTH
OF THE ROUTE 2 REGION AND ESPECIALLY SOUTH OF THE MASS PIKE INTO N CT
WITH DECREASING CHC NORTHWARD. LESS CHANCE ALSO ALONG IMMEDIATE S
COAST DUE TO SW FLOW OFF COOLER WATER. SPC HAS UPGRADED SNE TO MDT
RISK AND GIVEN STRENGTH OF MID LEVEL WIND FIELD AND LOW LEVEL
SHEAR...TORNADOES ARE POSSIBLE IN THIS ENVIRONMENT IF WE CAN GENERATE
ENOUGH INSTABILITY. TORNADO WATCH WILL LIKELY BE ISSUED THIS
AFTERNOON.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 AM MONDAY/...
WILL SEE SHWRS/TSTMS PUSH OFFSHORE AS THE FRONT CROSSES THE REGION.
COULD SEE LEFTOVER GUSTY WINDS AS WELL...WHICH SHOULD DIMINISH BY
03Z. AS WINDS SHIFT TO NW...MIGHT SEE A FEW GUSTS AS WELL. EXPECT
CLEARING TO ARRIVE MAINLY AFTER MIDNIGHT...AS DEWPTS FALL BACK
BRINGING MUCH MORE COMFORTABLE CONDITIONS. OVERNIGHT LOWS COULD FALL
BACK TO THE MID-UPPER 40S ACROSS S NH/W MA...BUT WILL HOLD IN THE
LOWER-MID 50S ACROSS SOUTHERN AREAS.
&&
.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
THIS PORTION OF THE FORECAST WILL FEATURE A BROAD MID LEVEL TROUGH
CENTERED OVER EASTERN CANADA...PLACING SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND ON THE
PERIPHERY OF THE UNSEASONABLY STRONG COLD POOL ALOFT. 500 MB
TEMPERATURES EXPECTED TO APPROACH -20C MONDAY INTO TUESDAY. WHILE
THIS SHOULD SUPPLY SOME INSTABILITY...MOISTURE SEEMS TO BE LACKING.
AT THIS TIME...CANNOT RULE OUT AN ISOLATED SHOWER OR THUNDERSTORM
EITHER MONDAY OR TUESDAY AFTERNOON. HOWEVER...DO NOT THINK COVERAGE
WILL BE ENOUGH TO WARRANT A MENTION IN THE FORECAST. ANY SHOWERS
WHICH DO FORM SHOULD BE SHORT-LIVED AND MAINLY ALONG AND NORTH OF
ROUTE 2 IN NORTHERN MA...AS WELL AS SOUTHERN NH.
06/00Z MODELS COMING INTO BETTER AGREEMENT WITH THE TIMING AND TRACK
OF A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY. THERE ARE
STILL SOME MINOR DIFFERENCES THOUGH...SO FOLLOWED THE CONSENSUS TRACK
TO MINIMIZE THEM. THIS WILL LIKELY BRING A PERIOD OF RAIN TO MOST OF
OUR REGION LATE WEDNESDAY INTO EARLY THURSDAY WITH COOL TEMPERATURES
FOR JUNE. AT THIS TIME...THE BEST CHANCE FOR RAIN WILL BE WEDNESDAY
NIGHT AND WILL RUN WITH LIKELY POPS. HIGH TEMPERATURES ON THURSDAY
MAY STRUGGLE TO REACH 70 ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE REGION WITH NORTHEAST
WINDS AND LOW CLOUDS.
TEMPERATURES SHOULD RETURN TO MORE SEASONABLE LEVELS FRIDAY AND
SATURDAY. CONFIDENCE ON PRECIPITATION IS RATHER LOW...BUT AT THIS
TIME MUCH OF THIS PERIOD MAY BE DRY. DID INSERT SOME CHANCE POPS BY
SATURDAY AFTERNOON...AS THERE IS A SHORTWAVE APPROACHING.
&&
.AVIATION /14Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
TODAY...MODERATE CONFIDENCE. MAINLY VFR CIGS WILL LOWER TO MVFR NORTH
OF THE MASS PIKE. SCT TO NMRS TSTMS EXPECTED TO MOVE THROUGH THE
REGION THIS AFTERNOON AND ANY STORMS WILL BE ACCOMPANIED BY IFR
CONDITIONS AND POTENTIAL FOR BRIEF WIND GUSTS TO 50 KT. GENERAL SW
WIND GUSTS TO 25-30 KT EXPECTED THIS AFTERNOON...MAINLY COASTAL
PLAIN.
KBOS...MODERATE CONFIDENCE OF VFR CIGS INTO EARLY AFTERNOON. BRIEF
IFR POSSIBLEIN ANY TSTMS THIS AFTERNOON. SW WINDS WILL BECOME GUSTY
THIS AFTERNOON...POSSIBLY UP TO 25 KT.
TONIGHT...SCT SHOWERS/TSTMS WILL PUSH OFFSHORE BY AROUND 03Z. EXPECT
ANY LOCAL MVFR-IFR CIGS/VSBYS TO IMPROVE TO VFR AS COOLER...DRIER
AIR WORKS IN. MODERATE TO HIGH CONFIDENCE.
KBOS...MAY HAVE BRIEF MVFR CONDITIONS THROUGH 03Z...THEN EXPECT TO
IMPROVE TO VFR.
OUTLOOK...MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...
MONDAY AND TUESDAY...HIGH CONFIDENCE FOR VFR. LOW CONFIDENCE FOR MVFR
IN ISOLATED AFTERNOON OR EARLY EVENING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS.
WEDNESDAY...MODERATE CONFIDENCE CONDITIONS LOWERING TO MVFR IN
SCATTERED RAIN...ESPECIALLY DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING FROM SW
TO NE. MVFR/IFR WEDNESDAY NIGHT IN AREAS OF RAIN. IFR MOST LIKELY
TOWARD THE SOUTH COAST.
THURSDAY...MODERATE CONFIDENCE MVFR. RAIN ENDING FROM W TO E. LOW
CONFIDENCE IFR ALONG EAST COAST OF MA AS WELL AS SOUTHEAST MA AND
PORTIONS OF RI IN THE MORNING.
&&
.MARINE...
TODAY...EXPECT SW WINDS TO INCREASE DURING THE DAY...WITH GUSTS OF
25-30 KTS MAINLY THIS AFTERNOON AS LOW LEVEL JET DEVELOPS. HAVE
CONTINUED THE SMALL CRAFT FOR MOST WATERS. MAY BE JUST BELOW ON
NARRAGANSETT BAY...THOUGH WAVES NEAR THE BAY ENTRANCE MAY APPROACH 5
FT LATE IN THE DAY.
CONTINUE TO SEE OVERFORECASTED SEAS ON THE WNA WAVEWATCH MODEL DUE
TO ITS HIGH BIAS ON SW WINDS. CUT THE SEAS BACK 1-2 FEET...BUT STILL
GOT AROUND 6 FT ON THE SOUTHERN OUTER WATERS LATE IN THE DAY.
MAY SEE STRONG TSTMS ACROSS THE WATERS THIS AFTERNOON.
TONIGHT...SW WINDS WILL SHIFT TO W. MAY STILL SEE GUSTS UP TO 25-30
KTS MAINLY ON THE SOUTHERN OUTER WATERS EARLY TONIGHT...THEN SHOULD
DROP BACK AS THEY SHIFT. SEAS MAY APPROACH 8 OR 9 FT ON THE SOUTHERN
OUTER WATERS EARLY...THEN WILL START TO SUBSIDE.
OUTLOOK...MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...
RELATIVELY LIGHT WINDS AND SEAS MONDAY INTO WEDNESDAY AS HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDS ACROSS THE WATERS. ANOTHER LOW PRESSURE APPROACHES
FROM THE SOUTHWEST LATE WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY. SOME POTENTIAL FOR A
BRIEF PERIOD OF GALE FORCE GUSTS LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY.
A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY MAY BE REQUIRED AT A MINIMUM DURING THAT TIME.

.EQUIPMENT...
