The episode as NWS BOX wrote it up.
Tropical Storm Earl made its closest pass to Southern New England the morning of September 4th, passing 98 miles to the southeast of Nantucket Island. The Automated Surface Observing System at Nantucket Memorial Airport (KACK) recorded the only tropical storm force wind in Southern New England, measured shortly after midnight on the 4th at 36 knots (41 mph). High surf induced by Earl resulted in minor coastal flooding in Newport, RI and Nantucket, MA. Meanwhile, a couple of locations on Cape Cod experienced minor freshwater flooding due to three to five inches of heavy rainfall. Also on Cape Cod, several trees were downed by the persistent sustained winds.
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 Sep 3, 2:01 PM EST, 29 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
301 PM EDT FRI SEP 3 2010
.SYNOPSIS...
HURRICANE EARL WILL CONTINUE ITS NORTHEAST TRACK TODAY PASSING ABOUT
60 TO 100 MILES EAST OF CHATHAM MASSACHUSETTS TONIGHT. EARL WILL
BRING STRONG WINDS TO CAPE COD AND THE ISLANDS ALONG WITH HEAVY RAIN
POSSIBLY AS FAR WEST AS BOSTON TO PROVIDENCE. EARL WILL QUICKLY
EXIT THE REGION EARLY SATURDAY...FOLLOWED BY DRY AND COOLER WEATHER
FOR THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND AND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
1130 AM UPDATE...
12Z TROPICAL MODELS CONTINUE TO TREND SOUTHEAST WITH EARL PROJECTED
TO TRACK OVER THE 40N/70W BENCHMARK. THE 12Z NAM IS EVEN FARTHER
SOUTHEAST. THEREFORE WE HAVE COORDINATED WITH THE NHC AND HAVE
LIMITED THE HURRICANE WARNING TO JUST CAPE COD AND THE ISLANDS. THE
HURRICANE WARNING FROM WESTPORT MA TO WOODS HOLE HAS BEEN DOWNGRADED
TO A TROPICAL STORM WARNING. IN ADDITION...THE HURRICANE WARNING
FROM SAGAMORE BEACH TO HULL HAS BEEN CONVERTED TO A TROPICAL STORM
WARNING...AND THE TROPICAL STORM WATCH FROM HULL TO MERRIMACK HAS
BEEN DISCONTINUED. ALL OTHER WARNINGS REMAIN AS IS.
EARL CONTINUES TO WEAKEN AS CLOUD TOPS WARM IN RESPONSE TO SOUTHWEST
SHEAR AND EARL TRAVELING OVER COOLER SST. THE NEW 15Z FORECAST HAS
EARL DOWN TO 65 KT AS IT PASSES SOUTHEAST OF NANTUCKET TONIGHT.
THEREFORE OUR FOCUS IS NOW STARING TO SHIFT MORE TOWARDS THE
POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY RAINFALL.
RAIN BAND ALONG THE SOUTH COAST LATE THIS MORNING IS THE LEADING
EDGE OF THE TROPICAL AIR ALOFT /HIGH THETA-E AIRMASS/. THIS RAIN
BAND WILL CONTINUE TO DRIFT NORTHWARD BUT ALSO ERODE SOMEWHAT AS IT
RUNS INTO THE RIDGE AXIS AND ASSOCIATED DRY AIR. RAIN BAND SHOULD
MAKE IT UP TO THE MASS PIKE AND THEN BEGIN TO FIZZLE.
WE ARE GROWING CONCERNED FOR THE POTENTIAL OF A PERIOD OF VERY HEAVY
RAIN THIS EVENING INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS ACROSS EASTERN
MA...POSSIBLE AS FAR WEST AS THE BOSTON-PROVIDENCE CORRIDOR.
MECHANISM HERE IS DEFORMATION ZONE SETTING UP ACROSS THIS REGION.
12Z NAM HITS THIS REGION HARD WITH A SLUG OF 2-4 INCHES OF RAIN IN A
3-6 HR WINDOW...WITH A LOW PROB OF LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS. THUS WE
MAY EXTEND THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH WESTWARD INTO THE BOSTON-PROVIDENCE
CORRIDOR. STAY TUNED.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 AM SATURDAY/...
ALL FOCUS TURNS TO EARL AS IT PUSHES TOWARD THE REGION...MAKING ITS
CLOSEST APPROACH TONIGHT. MOST OF THE OPERATIONAL AND TROPICAL
FORECAST MODEL SUITE TRACKS THE HURRICANE NEAR OR SE OF THE 40N/70W
BENCHMARK. HOWEVER...09Z FORECAST TRACK FROM THE HURRICANE CENTER
IS ABOUT 50 MILES OR SO SE OF NANTUCKET AROUND MIDNIGHT...RIGHT NEAR
OR JUST INSIDE THE BENCHMARK. THE HURRICANE CENTER HAS CONTINUED THE
TROPICAL STORM AND HURRICANE WARNINGS THAT WERE IN PLACE LAST NIGHT
FOR THE COASTAL AREAS. SHOULD SEE HIGHEST WINDS AND GUSTS BETWEEN 8
PM TONIGHT THROUGH 2 OR 3 AM SATURDAY. THE HIGHEST THREAT REMAINS
ACROSS OUTER CAPE COD AND NANTUCKET FOR STRONG WINDS...WHICH WILL
DROP OFF AWAY FROM THE COAST.
AS FOR RAINFALL...STILL EXPECT A HEAVY SWATH OF RAIN TO PUSH AHEAD
AND WITH THE HURRICANE...AND THIS SHOULD REACH INTO EASTERN MA/RI.
SEE THE HYDRO SECTION BELOW FOR DETAILS.
AS EARL/S FORWARD SPEED INCREASES EARLY SATURDAY MORNING...EXPECT
CONDITIONS TO QUICKLY IMPROVE AFTER 06Z ACROSS WESTERN AREAS. MAY
SEE LINGERING SHOWERS ACROSS THE EAST AROUND SUNRISE.
&&
.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
SATURDAY...EARL WILL SPEED TOWARD THE CANADIAN MARITIMES SATURDAY
MORNING WITH QUICKLY IMPROVING CONDITIONS. EXPECT PRETTY GOOD COLD
AIR ADVECTION TO PUSH IN DURING THE DAY AS WELL. THERE WILL BE A
PRETTY TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT BETWEEN WHAT IS LEFT OF EARL AND HIGH
PRES BUILDING TO THE W. WILL STILL SEE BRISK TO WINDY CONDITIONS
WITH SOME GUSTS UP TO 40 MPH OR SO POSSIBLE ALONG THE S COAST...CAPE
AND ISLANDS. SKIES SHOULD BE GENERALLY MOSTLY SUNNY.
FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND...HIGH PRES WILL REMAIN
NEAR OR S OF THE REGION WHILE THE REMNANTS OF EARL MERGE WITH LARGE
LOW PRES OVER NORTHERN QUEBEC AND LABRADOR...KEEPING A GENERALLY DRY
W-NW FLOW ACROSS THE REGION. WILL ALSO STAY ON THE COOL SIDE WITH
HIGHS GENERALLY IN THE 70S.
TUESDAY-THURSDAY...MEDIUM RANGE MODELS LEANING TOWARD A CONTINUED
DRY PATTERN WITH SLOWLY MODERATING TEMPERATURES. SOME SIGNS THAT A
FRONT MAY APPROACH EITHER LATE WEDNESDAY OR THURSDAY...BUT TIMING IS
IN QUESTION.

THIS AFTERNOON.
TONIGHT...EARL IS EXPECTED TO PASS AROUND 50 MILES SE OF
NANTUCKET...LIKELY VERY CLOSE OR JUST INSIDE THE 40N/70W BENCHMARK
BETWEEN 10 PM AND 1 AM. HIGHEST PROBABILITY OF HURRICANE FORCE WINDS

TOWARD NOVA SCOTIA TOWARD SUNRISE SAT. DANGEROUS SEAS ARE EXPECTED
WITH HEIGHTS OF AROUND 20 S AND E OF NANTUCKET AND CAPE COD.
