A stationary boundary to the west of Southern New England ignited showers and thunderstorms across the area. Heavy rain further saturated the already wet ground and thunderstorm winds in the 30-40 mph range were enough to push a few trees down.

The episode as NWS BOX wrote it up.
A stationary boundary to the west of Southern New England ignited showers and thunderstorms across the area. Heavy rain further saturated the already wet ground and thunderstorm winds in the 30-40 mph range were enough to push a few trees down.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
442 PM EDT SUN JUN 30 2013
.SYNOPSIS...
WARM AND MUGGY CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE WITH HIT AND MISS SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH MUCH OF THIS WEEK. THE CHANCES FOR
SHOWERS LOWER TOWARD THE END OF THE WEEK INTO NEXT WEEKEND AS HIGH
PRESSURE BACKS IN FROM THE WESTERN ATLANTIC.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM MONDAY MORNING/...
INTO TONIGHT...
MAIN AREA OF FOCUS RIGHT NOW IS ON THE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
ACROSS THE HUDSON RIVER VALLEY REGION MOVING INTO WESTERN NEW
ENGLAND.
NUMEROUS FLASH FLOOD WARNINGS WITH A FEW SEVERE WARNINGS HAVE
BEEN ISSUED BY THE ALBANY WEATHER FORECAST OFFICE AS STORMS BACK
BUILD ACROSS THE REGION IN AN AREA OF MODEST INSTABILITY AND
DECENT SHEAR SUPPORTING MULTI-CELLULAR CONVECTION. STRONG TO
DAMAGING WINDS STILL REMAIN A THREAT...BUT MAINLY FOCUSED ON HEAVY
RAIN AND LIGHTNING AT THIS TIME.
SUCH ACTIVITY SHOULD MOVE INTO AND IMPACT NORTH AND WESTERN
MASSACHUSETTS INTO SOUTHERN NEW HAMPSHIRE. RADAR HAS BEEN
ESTIMATING AROUND A HALF INCH TO AN INCH OF RAINFALL IN 1 HOUR
WITH THESE STORMS. URBAN AND POOR-DRAINAGE FLOODING WILL BE A
POSSIBILITY FOR THE AFOREMENTIONED AREAS. FLASH FLOODING IS NOT
OUT OF THE QUESTION.
AS TO THE WEAKENING BROAD AREA OF RAIN OFFSHORE...IT IS PERHAPS
THAT GREATER ENERGY USURPING THE BETTER MOISTURE IS TAKING PLACE
IN TWO REGIONS: ACROSS THE FAR SOUTHEASTERN CONUS...AND THE
ACTIVITY TAKING PLACE IN THE HUDSON RIVER VALLEY REGION. THE WEDGE
OF SLIGHTLY DRIER AIR AND SUBSIDENCE MAY BE STRENGTHENING ACROSS
CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST NEW ENGLAND. LESSER CONFIDENCE OF ANY
FLOODING THREAT.
LASTLY...FOG CONTINUES TO HOLD OVER THE SOUTH-COAST FUELED BY
STRONG SOUTHERLY FLOW OF DEEP MOISTURE. DO NOT EXPECT MUCH LET UP
AS LIGHT RAIN CONTINUES TO IMPACT THE REGION. WILL HOLD THOSE
AREAS UNDER MOSTLY CLOUDY CONDITIONS WITH AREAS OF FOG.
TONIGHT...
BERMUDA HIGH CONTINUES TO UNDERGO RETROGRESSION TO THE WEST. WARM-
MOIST CONVEYER BELT OF TROPICAL MOISTURE PUSHES WEST BACK ACROSS
THE NORTHEASTERN CONUS. WITH BETTER LOW- TO MID-LEVEL FORCING
AIDED BY WEAK WAVE DISTURBANCES THROUGH THE AFOREMENTIONED BELT
FLOW...EXPECT CLUSTERS OF HEAVIER SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WITHIN
A BROAD BANDING AREA OF RAIN /PRESENTLY ACROSS THE SOUTHEASTERN
WATERS/ TO BACK NORTH AND WEST THROUGH THE FORECAST REGION.
LOCALIZED REGIONS OF CONVERGENCE BENEATH FAVORABLE AREAS OF
ENHANCED ASCENT COULD EFFECTIVELY LIFT THE JUICY 2-INCH PWAT AIR
RESULTING IN HEAVY DOWNPOURS AND SUBSEQUENTLY LOCALIZED URBAN AND
POOR-DRAINAGE AREA FLOODING. HAVE LOW CONFIDENCE CONCERNING SEVERE
WEATHER CHANCES. DIFFICULT TO GO WITH ANY ONE MODEL...GREATEST
CONFIDENCE WITH THE 30.06Z ECMWF/30.12Z WRF-ARW. DEWPOINTS
REMAINING HIGH KEEPING CONDITIONS MILD. LOWS AROUND THE MID- TO
UPPER-60S.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM MONDAY MORNING THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
MONDAY INTO MONDAY NIGHT...
THE OVERALL QUESTION...WHERE WILL THE HEAVY RAIN AXIS SETUP AND
POTENTIALLY STALL ACROSS THE NORTHEASTERN CONUS?
WITH THE BERMUDA HIGH CONTINUING TO RETROGRADE...THERE IS CONFIDENCE
THAT THE BETTER SYNOPTICS AND UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT WILL BE PUSHED
WEST...ORIENTED ALONG AND IN THE VICINITY OF THE SPINE OF THE
APPALACHIAN MOUNTAINS AND COLLOCATED WITH A STATIONARY BOUNDARY
ASSOCIATED WITH AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE OVER WEST-VIRGINIA.
EVALUATING H85 FIELDS...MODELS SUCCINCT ON STRONG MOISTURE
TRANSPORT AND 10C DEWPOINTS CONVERGING ALONG A LOW- TO MID-LEVEL
FRONT FROM THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES REGION THROUGH NORTH-CENTRAL
NEW ENGLAND. AND FINALLY...THE BETTER TROPICAL MOISTURE AXIS WITH
PWATS EXCEEDING 2-INCHES LIES IS ANTICIPATED TO LIE ACROSS THE
EASTERN CONUS SHORE- LINE NORTH INTO SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND.
FEEL A CONTINUOUS CLUSTERING OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL FLOW
ACROSS THE SPINE OF THE APPALACHIAN MOUNTAINS. SOME OF THIS
ENERGY MAY IMPACT WESTERN NEW ENGLAND INCLUDING THE CONNECTICUT
RIVER VALLEY INTO THE MONADNOCKS /AN AREA NORTH AND WEST OF A LINE
FROM THE HARTFORD-METRO INTO MANCHESTER NH/. WITH GREATER
SUBSIDENCE AND DRIER AIR BUILDING INTO SOUTHEAST NEW ENGLAND AND
ADJACENT WATERS WITH RETROGRESSING HIGH...HAVE SOME CONCERN WITH
POTENTIAL SUNSHINE MORE SO TO THE EAST RESULTING IN SOME
INSTABILITY AND INITIATING ADDITIONAL SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
/SO LONG AS THE BUILDING RIDGE DOES NOT SUPPRESS ACTIVITY/.
WITH THE UNCERTAINTY OF THE PLACEMENT OF THE HEAVY RAIN AXIS AND THE
ASSOCIATED OUTCOMES...WILL NOT GO WITH A FLOOD WATCH OF ANY TYPE
WITH THIS FORECAST. WILL HOWEVER NOTE THAT THE POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY
RAIN WILL EXIST INTO THE EARLY WEEK PERIOD...HEAVY RAIN IN WHICH
COULD RESULT IN LOCALIZED FLASH FLOODING.
WARM AND MUGGY CONDITIONS CONTINUE WITH VERY HIGH DEWPOINT AIR.
HIGHS GETTING UP IN THE MID- TO UPPER-70S WITH LOWS DOWN AROUND THE
MID- TO UPPER-60S. SOUTHERLY WINDS CONTINUE WITH GUSTS UP TO AROUND
20 MPH ACROSS THE SOUTH-SHORE INCLUDING THE CAPE AND ISLANDS.
&&
.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
OVERVIEW AND MODEL PREFERENCES...
MEDIUM RANGE MODELS REMAIN VERY CONSISTENT IN KEEPING HIGH
AMPLITUDE BLOCKING PATTERN IN PLACE ACROSS THE LOWER 48 THROUGH
THIS PERIOD. AS THE LONG WAVE TROUGH ACROSS THE WESTERN U.S.
STARTS TO RETROGRADE W...THE WESTERN EXTENT OF THE BERMUDA HIGH
WILL ALSO RETROGRADE ALBEIT VERY SLOWLY LATE THIS WEEK AND INTO
NEXT WEEKEND. WILL STILL HAVE A THREAT OF SHOWERS/TSTMS THOUGH
WILL GRADUALLY LOWER FROM E-W BEGINNING WED OR THU.
TROPICAL AIRMASS IN PLACE THROUGH THIS PERIOD WITH PERSISTENT S-SW
WIND FLOW IN PLACE. PWATS REMAIN IN THE 2 TO 2.2 INCH RANGE...SO
ANY SHOWERS/TSTMS COULD PRODUCE HEAVY RAINFALL. THIS ALONG WITH
CONTINUED TRAINING OF CELLS IN THE DEEP SW FLOW WILL KEEP THE
THREAT OF LOCALIZED FLOODING GOING. AT THIS POINT...LOOKS LIKE
THE BIGGEST THREAT WILL BE ACROSS S NH/CENTRAL AND W MA INTO N CT
THROUGH AT LEAST WEDNESDAY.
WITH PRETTY GOOD RUN TO RUN CONSISTENCY INTO FRIDAY...LEANED
TOWARD A BLEND OF THE WPC GUIDANCE ALONG WITH OUR PREVIOUS
FORECAST TO KEEP CONTINUITY GOING. INTO NEXT WEEKEND...DEPENDING
UPON WHERE THE RIDGE SETS UP ON THE EASTERN SEABOARD...THE OP
MODELS TRY TO RIDE A SHORT WAVE ACROSS THE REGION IN THE FLOW. NOT
TOO CONFIDENCE ON THIS FEATURE...HOWEVER...AS SEEN IN THE
ENSEMBLES.
DETAILS...
TUESDAY...WITH START OF RETROGRESSION OF THE RIDGE TO THE W AND
UPPER LEVEL TROUGH TO THE W...MAY SEE A SQUEEZE PLAY FOR AREAS OF
PRECIP ACROSS THE CENTRAL AND WESTERN ZONES. THIS WILL COMBINE
WITH THE HIGH PWATS...DEWPTS AROUND 70 AND TRAINING ANY CELLS TO
BRING HEAVY RAINFALL TO THOSE AREAS. KEPT LIKELY POPS GOING IN
THOSE AREAS TUE INTO EARLY TUE NIGHT...WITH HIGH CHANCE ELSEWHERE.
EXPECT HIGHS IN THE MID 70S TO LOWER 80S...COOLER ALONG THE
IMMEDIATE S COAST.
WEDNESDAY-THURSDAY...CONTINUE TO NOTE CHANCE POPS ACROSS THE
NORTHERN AND WESTERN AREAS...LOOKS LIKE THE COVERAGE WILL BE
SLOWLY LOWERING EACH DAY AS THE WESTERN ATLC RIDGE BUILDS W. BEST
CHANCES FOR PRECIP WILL BE DURING THE AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING
HOURS EACH DAY...THOUGH CAN NOT RULE OUT SOME ACTIVITY CONTINUING
OVERNIGHT. HEAVY DOWNPOURS IN ANY CONVECTION WILL CONTINUE. WITH
SOMEWHAT MORE SUNSHINE...SHOULD SEE HIGHS IN THE 80S WITH A FEW
SPOTS APPROACHING 90.
FRIDAY-SUNDAY...CONTINUED WITH CHANCE POPS ON FRIDAY FOR CENTRAL
AND WESTERN AREAS...THEN LOWERED TO SLIGHT CHANCE FOR PRECIP NEXT
WEEKEND. LOWER CONFIDENCE INTO NEXT WEEKEND AS OP MODEL RUNS
DIVERGE ON THEIR SOLUTIONS...SO KEPT CONSISTENT WITH PREVIOUS
FORECAST.

LOW...LESS THAN 30 PERCENT.
MODERATE...30 TO 60 PERCENT.
HIGH...GREATER THAN 60 PERCENT.
18Z UPDATE...
SCT TSRA ACROSS FAR NORTHERN AND WESTERN TERMINALS IS NOW ONGOING.
HAVE A MENTION OF VCTS FOR MHT AND BAF FOR NOW. CLOSELY WATCHING
BDL. ANY TSRA WILL BE ASSOCIATED WITH LOW-VFR MVFR CB AND MVFR-IFR
VSBYS WITH +RA/TSRA. RIGHT NOW IT APPEARS MOST OF THE ACTIVITY
WILL REMAIN NORTH AND WEST OF A LINE FROM KBDL-KMHT. UPSTREAM
RAINS ACROSS THE NYC-TERMINAL MAY SLIDE NORTH AND EAST IMPACTING
TERMINALS LATER TONIGHT.
OTHERWISE...INTERIOR TERMINALS PREVAILING VFR INTO THIS EVENING
WITH SOUTH-COASTAL TERMINALS HOLDING IFR-LIFR WITH LOW CIGS...
FOG...AND THE POSSIBILITY OF -RA. THEME FOR THIS EVENING INTO
MONDAY MORNING IS FOR IFR-LIFR LOW CLOUDS AND FOG ALONG THE
SOUTH-COAST TO INCREASE BACK ACROSS INTERIOR NEW ENGLAND ALONG
WITH -RA AND THE POSSIBILITY OF TSRA.
CONDITIONS WILL GRADUALLY IMPROVE DURING THE DAY MONDAY...POSSIBLY
TO LOW-END VFR ACROSS THE INTERIOR...BUT FALTER INTO MONDAY
EVENING. THERE IS SOME POSSIBILITY OF POTENTIAL CLEARING ACROSS
THE FAR SOUTHEAST TERMINALS LATE IN THE PERIOD...LOW CONFIDENCE.
SOUTHERLY WINDS PREVAILING...GUSTS UP TO AROUND 20 KTS POSSIBLE
ALONG THE SOUTH COAST.
KBOS TERMINAL...MODERATE CONFIDENCE IN TAF TRENDS. VFR PREVAILING
BUT THEN TURNING SOUR INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. IMPROVEMENT MONDAY
POSSIBLY UP TO LOW-END VFR.
KBDL TERMINAL...MODERATE CONFIDENCE IN TAF TRENDS. CLOSELY
MONITORING FOR POTENTIAL TSRA. LEFT VCTS OUT FOR NOW.
OUTLOOK...TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...
MODERATE CONFIDENCE.
NO CHANGES IN THE WEATHER PATTERN THROUGH MOST OF THE WEEK.
THIS WILL MEAN SHOWERS AND SCATTERED TSTMS THROUGH AT LEAST
THURSDAY...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.
