An upper level disturbance moved across southern New England igniting showers and thunderstorms across parts of the region. Most of these storms produced heavy rain and lightning, a couple resulted in localized wind damage.

The episode as NWS BOX wrote it up.
An upper level disturbance moved across southern New England igniting showers and thunderstorms across parts of the region. Most of these storms produced heavy rain and lightning, a couple resulted in localized wind damage.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
433 AM EDT SAT JUN 29 2013
.SYNOPSIS...
WARM AND MUGGY CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE WITH HIT AND MISS SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH MUCH OF NEXT WEEK.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
430 AM UPDATE...
FORECAST REMAINS ON TRACK FOR THE EARLY MORNING HOURS. WARM FRONT
IS WELL INTO NORTHERN NEW HAMPSHIRE AT THIS TIME ALLOWING FOR
MOIST AIR TO FILTER INTO THE REGION. DENSE FOG ADVISORIES ARE UP
FOR BLOCK ISLAND AND SOUTHERN RHODE ISLAND. VISIBILITIES PER
LATEST OBSERVATIONS AND WEBCAMS SHOW BETWEEN 0.5-0.25 MILES.
OTHERWISE THE FOCUS TURNS TO THE POP UP CONVECTION THIS MORNING.
APPROACHING SHORTWAVE ALOFT COMBINED WITH AIRMASS AND ELEVATED
INSTABILITY WILL KEEP THE SHOWERS GOING INTO THE MORNING HOURS.
MAIN THREATS ARE LIGHTNING AND HEAVY DOWNPOURS.
TODAY...UPPER LEVEL LOW CONTINUES TO SPIN ACROSS SOUTHERN CANADA
KEEPING THE REGION IN AN ELONGATED TROUGH. THIS COMBINED WITH THE
BERMUDA HIGH TO THE SOUTH WILL ALLOW FOR GOOD SOUTHERLY FLOW
ACROSS THE REGION...INCREASING THE DEWPOINTS AND THE HUMIDITY
LEVELS. EARLY THIS MORNING EXPECT ISOLATED CONVECTION ACROSS
PORTIONS OF THE INTERIOR AS LLJ COMBINED THE HUMID AIRMASS AND
APPROACHING SHORTWAVE WILL TRIGGER AND MAINTAIN STORMS. EXPECT
JUST LIGHTNING AND HEAVY RAINFALL AT THIS TIME. A GOOD SWATH OF
SCATTERED SHOWERS WILL FORM ACROSS THE ISLANDS AND EVEN CAPE AS
LLJ IS ANCHORED MORE IN A SOUTHEAST DIRECTION.
MAIN CONCERN FOR TODAY IS THE AFTERNOON HOURS. AGAIN QUESTION
WILL BE IF THE CLOUD COVER WILL BREAK LATER THIS MORNING INTO THE
AFTERNOON HOURS TO ALLOW FOR DIURNAL HEATING. IF THIS DOES OCCUR
THEN EXPECT INSTABILITY TO INCREASE TO PERHAPS 2000 J/KG. WITH
UPPER LEVEL JET SUPPORT AND SHEAR VALUES AROUND 50-60 KTS COULD
SEE SOME STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS. MAIN THREATS WILL BE HEAVY
DOWNPOURS AND GUSTY WINDS OF 50 TO 60 MPH. AGAIN THIS IS ALL
DEPENDENT ON IF CLOUD COVER WILL BREAK UP. MODELS AT THIS TIME ARE
SHOWING THAT THE INTERIOR PORTIONS OF SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND HAS THE
BETTER CHANCE OF SEEING STORMS. WE ARE CURRENTLY IN A SLIGHT RISK
FROM SPC AND AGAIN WITH A 2 PERCENT TORNADO PROBABILITY. BELIEVE
THAT THERE IS A SMALL PROBABILITY FOR TODAY YET THE LIMITING
FACTOR WILL BE CLOUD DEBRIS AS WELL AS WEAK MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES.
AGAIN SURFACE WINDS WILL BE MORE SOUTHERLY BRINGING IN SOME OF THE
MARINE LAYER WHERE A WEST-SOUTHWEST WIND IS MORE FAVORABLE.
REGARDLESS THIS IS SOMETHING THAT THE DAY SHIFT WILL NEED TO KEEP
AN EYE ON.
TEMPERATURES AGAIN WILL BE SLIGHTLY TRICKY. HOWEVER SINCE ALL OF
THE REGION IS WITHIN THE WARM HUMID AIRMASS...BELIEVE THAT THE
UPPER 70S ARE PROBABLE. HOWEVER IF CLOUDS SCATTER OUT THEN A FEW
SITES WILL HIT THE MID 80S.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM SUNDAY/...
TONIGHT...
ONGOING CONVECTION SHOULD WANE AFTER SUNSET AS DIURNAL HEATING IS
LOST. MID-LEVEL RIDGING WILL WORK ITS WAY INTO THE REGION
OVERNIGHT KEEPING MOST OF THE REGION DRY. HOWEVER KEPT SLIGHT POPS
IN FOR NOW AS THERE COULD BE A SCATTERED SHOWER OR TWO. FOG WILL
DEVELOP ONCE AGAIN WITH THE CAPE...ISLANDS AND SOUTH COAST AS THE
FOCUS. UNCERTAIN AT THIS TIME IF DENSE FOG WILL FORM BUT WITH
CURRENT AIRMASS NOT MOVING IT SEEM PLAUSIBLE.
TOMORROW...
ANOTHER ROUND OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED AGAIN FOR
SUNDAY. ALTHOUGH IT SEEMS CHANCES ARE LESS FAVORABLE AT IS APPEARS
THAT THERE IS LACK OF SHORTWAVE/UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT. EXPECT SUNDAY
TO BE DIURNALLY DRIVEN. BETTER SHEAR MOVES TO THE NORTH HOWEVER
STILL A GOOD AMOUNT OF INSTABILITY. FOR NOW KEPT MENTION OF HEAVY
RAIN AS PWAT VALUES ARE A GOOD 1-1.5 INCHES.
&&
.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
BIG PICTURE/PREFERENCES...MERIDIONAL FLOW THROUGH MIDWEEK WITH
RIDGES OVER THE WEST ATLANTIC AND WESTERN USA...AND TROUGHS/CLOSED
LOWS OVER THE GREAT LAKES-MISS RIVER VALLEY AND EASTERN PACIFIC.
THE GREAT LAKES TROUGH BREAKS DOWN WEDNESDAY-THURSDAY AND EJECTS
THROUGH NEW ENGLAND TOWARD FRIDAY. THIS IS A PERSISTENCE PATTERN
FOR MOST OF THE LONG TERM FORECAST...BUT WE HOLD OUT HOPE FOR
CHANGES TOWARD THE END OF NEXT WEEK. THE GFS AND ECMWF WERE
SIMILAR IN THEIR MASS FIELDS...SO WE USED A BLEND OF GFS/ECMWF
SOLUTIONS TO TREND THE PREVIOUS FORECAST.
THE DAILIES...
SUNDAY NIGHT-MONDAY...ANOTHER SHORTWAVE MOVES UP ACROSS THE
REGION WITH INCREASED LOW LEVEL JET AND TURNING OF THE LOW LEVEL
WINDS TO SOUTH. PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES INCREASE TO AROUND 2
INCHES. THIS MEANS MORE LOW LEVEL LIFT WITHIN A MOISTURE-LADEN
AIRMASS. EXPECTING SHOWERS/TSTMS WITH HEAVY DOWNPOURS MOVING UP
FROM THE SOUTH SUNDAY NIGHT AND CONTINUING MONDAY. CONTINUE LIKELY
POPS.
TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...THE SAME INGREDIENTS REMAIN IN PLACE
THROUGH AT LEAST THURSDAY. 29/00Z GUIDANCE STARTING TO HINT AT
THE BERMUDA HIGH RETROGRADING WEST LATE NEXT WEEK. THE QUESTION
REMAINS IF IT WILL MOVE FAR ENOUGH WEST TO BRING SUFFICIENT
SUBSIDENCE TO PREVENT SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS FROM BREAKING OUT.
IN ANY CASE...THE BERMUDA HIGH WILL CONTINUE TO SUPPLY HEAT AND
HUMIDITY AT A MINIMUM. WILL STICK WITH THE PERSISTENCE PATTERN OF
SCATTERED DIURNAL SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS FOR NOW.
&&
.AVIATION /08Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS...
LOW...LESS THAN 30 PERCENT.
MODERATE...30 TO 60 PERCENT.
HIGH...GREATER THAN 60 PERCENT.
BEFORE 12Z...HIGH CONFIDENCE IN TRENDS...MODERATE CONFIDENCE IN
TIMING. IFR ACROSS MOST OF THE REGION WITH LIFR CONDITIONS ACROSS
THE CAPE...ISLANDS AND RHODE ISLAND FOR VSBYS AND LOW CLOUDS.
EXPECT CONDITIONS TO HOLD FOR MOST THE NIGHT WITH LIFR CONDITIONS
SPREADING INTO SE MA AND CENTRAL CT.
AFTER 12Z...MODERATE CONFIDENCE. SLOW IMPROVEMENT TO VFR THROUGH
THE MORNING. THEN MAINLY VFR. HOWEVER EXPECT IFR/MVFR ACROSS THE
CAPE AND ISLANDS IN LOW CLOUDS AND FOG. BRIEF MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS
IN SCT SHRA/TSRA DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS...ESP ACROSS THE NW
TERMINALS.
TONIGHT...MODERATE CONFIDENCE. VFR FALLING TO MVFR/IFR ACROSS ALL
SITES FOR LOW CLOUDS AND FOG. MAY SEE LIFR CONDITIONS ACROSS THE
CAPE...ISLANDS AND SOUTHERN RHODE ISLAND.
SUNDAY...MODERATE CONFIDENCE. SLOW IMPROVEMENT TO VFR THROUGH THE
MORNING. BRIEF MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS IN SCT SHRA/TSRA DURING THE
AFTERNOON HOURS.
KBOS TERMINAL...MODERATE CONFIDENCE IN TAF. CONFIDENT IN OVERALL
TRENDS HOWEVER LOW CONFIDENCE IN TIMING...PARTICULARLY WITH
TODAYS CONVECTION.
KBDL TERMINAL...MODERATE CONFIDENCE IN TAF. CONFIDENT IN OVERALL
TRENDS HOWEVER LOW CONFIDENCE IN TIMING...PARTICULARLY WITH TODAYS
CONVECTION.
OUTLOOK...SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY...
MODERATE CONFIDENCE.
NO CHANGES IN THE WEATHER PATTERN THROUGH MUCH OF THE UPCOMING WEEK.
THIS WILL MEAN SHOWERS AND SCATTERED TSTMS THROUGH AT LEAST
WEDNESDAY...SOME WITH HEAVY DOWNPOURS. THE DAYTIME MAY HAVE A
BASELINE OF VFR...BUT WITH MVFR/IFR CIGS AND VSBYS IN ANY
SHOWERS/TSTMS. THE VERY HUMID AIRMASS LINGERS THROUGH THE
PERIOD...SO LATE NIGHT AND EARLY MORNING FOG WILL BRING IFR/LIFR
CIGS/VSBYS. THE LOW CLOUDS AND FOG MAY LINGER DURING THE DAYTIME
ACROSS PARTS OF THE CAPE AND ISLANDS.
&&
.MARINE...
FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS...
LOW...LESS THAN 30 PERCENT.
MODERATE...30 TO 60 PERCENT.
HIGH...GREATER THAN 60 PERCENT.
SHORT-TERM THROUGH SUNDAY...HIGH CONFIDENCE.
SCA STILL CONTINUES ACROSS THE WATERS. CONTINUED TO UNDERCUT WNA
WAVE GUIDANCE BY ABOUT 10 PERCENT TO ACCOUNT FOR ITS SOUTHERLY
BIAS. MODERATE PROBABILITY OF SOUTHERLY WIND GUSTS TO 25 KTS ON
THE NEAR SHORE WATERS THIS AFTERNOON. OTHERWISE SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO IMPACT THE WATERS TODAY AND INTO
TONIGHT AND AGAIN TOMORROW. MAIN THREATS WILL BE LIGHTNING AND
HEAVY DOWNPOURS IMPACTING VISIBILITIES. EXPECT LOCALLY DENSE FOG
TONIGHT ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE SOUTHERN NEAR SHORE WATERS.
OUTLOOK...SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY...
MODERATE CONFIDENCE.
NO CHANGE IN THE WEATHER PATTERN THROUGH MUCH OF THE UPCOMING WEEK.
THIS WILL MEAN SHOWERS/TSTMS/FOG WITH VERY HUMID AIR. THERE WILL BE
POOR VSBYS AT TIMES...AND 1/4 MILE VSBYS IN FOG POSSIBLE EACH NIGHT
AND EARLY MORNING. SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST WINDS THROUGH THE PERIOD.
WIND GUSTS WILL BE 20 KNOTS OR LESS. BUT THE STEADY WIND DIRECTION
WILL HELP BUILD SEAS WITH WAVE HEIGHTS OF 5 TO 10 FEET EXPECTED
ACROSS THE OUTER COASTAL WATERS AND EXPOSED PORTIONS OF THE
SOUTHERN SOUNDS SUCH AS RI SOUND AND POSSIBLY BLOCK ISLAND SOUND.
A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY WILL BE NEEDED FOR THESE ROUGH SEAS THROUGH
MIDWEEK...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE OUTER COASTAL WATERS.
