The episode as NWS BOX wrote it up.
The remnants of Tropical Storm Andrea tracked across southeastern Massachusetts bringing heavy rain (3-5 inches) to much of southern New England. This resulted in significant urban flooding, particularly across eastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island, as well as river and small stream flooding. It also contributed to record high rainfall across the area for the month of June.
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 7, 4:51 AM EST, 39 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
551 AM EDT FRI JUN 7 2013
.SYNOPSIS...
HEAVY RAIN WILL OCCUR LATER TODAY INTO SATURDAY MORNING RESULTING
IN AT LEAST SOME URBAN AND POOR DRAINAGE STREET FLOODING. SOME
SHOWERS MAY LINGER INTO SATURDAY EVENING...THEN WILL SEE A BRIEF
PERIOD OF DRY AND SEASONABLE CONDITIONS FOR SUNDAY. MORE SHOWERS
ARE FORECAST TO RETURN EARLY NEXT WEEK ALONG WITH A FEW
THUNDERSTORMS. WEAK HIGH PRESSURE MAY BUILD IN LATE NEXT WEEK WITH
ANOTHER BRIEF PERIOD OF DRY WEATHER.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
***THE REMNANTS OF CURRENT TROPICAL STORM ANDREA WILL BRING HEAVY
RAIN AND AT LEAST SOME URBAN AND POOR DRAINAGE STREET FLOODING
LATER TODAY INTO EARLY SATURDAY MORNING***
SHOWERS WILL BECOME WIDESPREAD EARLY THIS MORNING AND ALSO BEGIN TO
INCREASE IN INTENSITY AS DEEPER MOISTURE AND BETTER LIFT WORK INTO
SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND. THE MAIN SHOW WILL OCCUR THIS AFTERNOON AND
PARTICULARLY TONIGHT INTO EARLY SATURDAY MORNING...AS THE REMNANTS
OF TROPICAL STORM ANDREA TRACK UP THE NEW ENGLAND COAST. THE MODELS
ARE NOW IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT THAT THE REMNANTS OF ANDREA WILL
TRACK ACROSS FAR SOUTHEAST MA. THIS PUTS MOST OF OUR REGION ON THE
WEST SIDE OF THE TROPICAL SYSTEM...WHICH IS WHERE THE HEAVY RAIN AND
ASSOCIATED FLOOD THREAT NORMALLY OCCURS.
THE MAIN WIND THREAT IS NORMALLY FOUND ON THE EAST SIDE OF THESE
SYSTEMS AT OUR LATITUDE. THAT PUTS ONLY THE IMMEDIATE SOUTH
COAST/CAPE AND ISLANDS AT RISK...WITH THE WORST CASE SCENARIO BEING
WIND ADVISORY CRITERIA BEING MET LATE TONIGHT INTO EARLY SATURDAY.
WILL DISCUSS THE VARIOUS HAZARDS BELOW...WITH BY FAR THE PRIMARY
CONCERN HEAVY RAIN AND FLOODING.
1) HEAVY RAIN AND FLOOD POTENTIAL:
BASED ON THE EXPECTED TRACK OF ANDREA...LOCATIONS TO THE NORTHWEST
OF THE CAPE AND ISLANDS WILL BE IN THE PRIME AREA FOR HEAVY RAIN AND
AT LEAST SOME URBAN AND POOR DRAINAGE STREET FLOODING. RAIN WILL
BECOME HEAVY THIS AFTERNOON AND PARTICULARLY TONIGHT WHEN WE SHOULD
SEE SOME IMPRESSIVE RAINFALL RATES.
THE MODELS PRETTY MUCH SHOW WIDESPREAD RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF 2 TO 3
INCHES FALLING THROUGH EARLY SATURDAY MORNING. HOWEVER...WE THINK
THESE AMOUNTS MAY BE UNDERDONE. THE PWATS ARE GOING TO BE AROUND 2
INCHES OR PERHAPS EVEN A BIT HIGHER...SO JUST GIVEN THAT FACT THE
MODELS ARE LIKELY GOING TO UNDERESTIMATE. IN ADDITION...EVEN THOUGH
WERE TALKING ABOUT REMNANTS OF TROPICAL SYSTEM...THE MID LEVEL
CENTERS REMAIN WELL DEFINED LIKE WE OFTEN SEE WITH OUR GOOD WINTER
STORMS. THIS SHOULD SETUP A PRETTY IMPRESSIVE DEFORMATION ZONE WITH
THE NAM SHOWING 50 MICROBARS PER SECOND OF LIFT IN THE 850 TO 500 MB
LAYER. PUT THAT TOGETHER WITH TROPICAL REMNANTS...THE STAGE IS SET
FOR A VERY HEAVY RAIN EVENT. THE ONE THING IN OUR FAVOR IS THAT
THIS LOOKS TO BE A PROGRESSIVE SYSTEM...SO THE TORRENTIAL RAINFALL
WILL NOT LAST TOO TERRIBLY LONG. HOWEVER...GIVEN ALL THE FACTORS
WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED TO SEE 2 TO 3 INCHES OF RAIN IN JUST 6 HOURS.
ALL IN ALL...WILL GO FOR A WIDESPREAD 2 TO 4 INCHES OF RAIN
NORTHWEST OF THE CAPE COD CANAL WITH LOCALLY 5+ INCH AMOUNTS. THIS
WILL AT THE VERY LEAST RESULT IN SOME URBAN AND POOR DRAINAGE STREET
FLOODING. PLEASE SEE OUR HYDRO SECTION BELOW FOR MORE DETAILED
INFORMATION.
2) WIND POTENTIAL:
SINCE MOST OF OUR REGION WILL BE ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE
STORM...THERE IS NOT MUCH OF A CONCERN FOR WIND. THE EXCEPTION TO
THIS IS ACROSS THE IMMEDIATE SOUTH COAST FAR SOUTHEAST MA/CAPE AND
ISLANDS. GIVEN THAT THE MODELS KEEP THE LOW LEVEL JET OF ANDREA
INTACT...COULD SEE A PERIOD OF 40 TO 50 MPH WINDS LATE TONIGHT INTO
EARLY SATURDAY IN THIS REGION. WE DID HOIST A WIND ADVISORY FOR
NANTUCKET WHERE CONFIDENCE WAS HIGHEST...BUT LATER SHIFTS MAY HAVE
TO EXPAND IT A BIT FURTHER NORTHWEST BUT ITS A LATE 2ND PERIOD EVENT
SO PLENTY OF TIME REMAINS.
3) THUNDER AND SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL:
THE MODELS CONTINUE TO INDICATE SHOWALTER INDICES DROPPING BELOW 0
ACROSS OUR SOUTHERN AND EASTERN ZONES LATE TONIGHT. THEREFORE...WE
MAY SEE SOME ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS AND HAVE MAINTAINED THEM IN THE
FORECAST. HOWEVER...NOT EXPECTING ANYTHING WIDESPREAD OR SEVERE
GIVEN LIMITED INSTABILITY.
&&
.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY/...
THE RAIN WILL COME TO AN END FROM SOUTHWEST TO NORTHEAST SATURDAY
MORNING. A FEW PEEKS OF SUN MAY DEVELOP DURING THE AFTERNOON...BUT
MODEL CROSS SECTIONS INDICATE A FAIR AMOUNT OF LEFTOVER MOISTURE AT
850 MB. THEREFORE...THINK THERE STILL WILL BE AN ABUNDANCE OF
CLOUDS. MOST OF THE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING WILL BE DRY...BUT
WE CAN/T RULE OUT A SPOT SHOWER OR TWO. HIGHS SHOULD BE IN THE
LOWER TO MIDDLE 70S IN MOST LOCATIONS.
ALSO...LEFT OVER SWELL IN THE WAKE OF ANDREA WILL LIKELY REQUIRE A
HIGH SURF ADVISORY ALONG WITH A HIGH RISK OF DANGEROUS RIP CURRENTS
ALONG MANY OF OUR OCEAN EXPOSED BEACHES. SINCE ITS IN THE 3RD
PERIOD NO HEADLINES YET...BUT THIS WILL LIKELY BE ISSUED IN THE NEXT
12 TO 24 HOURS.
&&
.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
* QUIET WEATHER SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY
* EXPECT WET CONDITIONS MONDAY AND TUESDAY...THEN A FEW SHOWERS
LINGER AT MID WEEK
* BRIEF LULL ON THURSDAY WITH DRY AND SEASONABLE CONDITIONS
OVERVIEW AND MODEL PREFERENCES...
MEDIUM RANGE MODEL SUITE CONTINUES TO SIGNAL BLOCKING UPPER LEVEL
PATTERN ACROSS THE ATLANTIC WHICH IS SLOWING PROGRESSION OF
WEATHER SYSTEMS ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE CENTRAL AND EASTERN U.S.
THIS HAS IMPLICATIONS FOR EARLY NEXT WEEK...AS ANOTHER RATHER
STRONG DIGGING H5 TROUGH TENDING TO CUT OFF AS IT MOVES ACROSS THE
GREAT LAKES EARLY NEXT WEEK. MODELS AND ENSEMBLES HAVE BEEN
INDICATING THAT THIS CUTOFF SYSTEM WILL SLOWLY PROGRESS...BUT NOT
BEFORE BRINGING A PERIOD OF SHOWERS AND MAYBE A FEW THUNDERSTORMS
AROUND THE MONDAY-TUESDAY TIMEFRAME. SLOW IMPROVEMENT NOTED AT
MID WEEK THOUGH A FEW SHOWERS MAY DEVELOP...THEN A BRIEF PERIOD
OF DRY WEATHER LATE NEXT WEEK.
USED A BLEND OF MAINLY THE EC AND GFS ENSEMBLES THIS MORNING...
THOUGH NOTED SOME FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT ON THE 00Z GFS/12Z ECMWF OP
MODEL RUNS INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. DID BLEND THIS IN A BIT AS WELL.
THIS WAS CLOSE TO WPC GUIDANCE FOR THIS PACKAGE.
DETAILS...
SATURDAY NIGHT-SUNDAY...
REMNANTS OF ANDREA RACE ACROSS NOVA SCOTIA SAT EVENING. HOWEVER...
ANOTHER WEAK SHORT WAVE IN THE UPPER LEVEL SW FLOW WILL CROSS THE
REGION EARLY SAT NIGHT...KEEPING CLOUDS AND WIDELY SCT SHOWERS.
SHOULD SEE IMPROVING CONDITIONS AROUND OR AFTER MIDNIGHT. MAY SEE
SHORT LIVED POCKETS OF FOG ACROSS EASTERN AREAS AROUND MIDNIGHT OR
SO...BUT SHOULD LIFT QUICKLY AS AIRMASS DRIES OUT. EXPECT PARTLY
TO MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES ON SUNDAY AS WEAK HIGH PRES MOVES ACROSS.
HIGHS WILL REACH THE MID 70S TO AROUND 80...WITH COOLER READINGS
ALONG THE COAST WITH LOCAL SEA BREEZES.
MONDAY-TUESDAY...
AS UPPER LEVEL LOW PRES DIGS OUT OF THE GREAT LAKES...RATHER
STRONG LOW PRES FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR WILL WORK TOWARD THE REGION.
WITH UPPER LEVEL BLOCKING WELL E OF THE EASTERN SEABOARD...THIS
SYSTEM WILL BE SLOW TO MOVE THROUGH. EXPECT A PROLONGED PERIOD OF
SHOWERS WITH THIS SLOW MOVING SYSTEM...SO KEPT LIKELY POPS GOING.
SOME DECENT INSTABILITY WILL PUSH N AS A WARM FRONT WORKS
ACROSS...SO HAVE MENTIONED SLIGHT CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH
TUESDAY BUT FEEL BEST SHOT WILL BE MON NIGHT INTO TUE. COLD FRONT
SHOULD MOVE THROUGH TUE NIGHT.
WEDNESDAY...
DRIER AIR TRIES TO WORK IN...BUT LOW PRES AND UPPER LEVEL SYSTEM
REMAIN ACROSS NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND. WITH THE COOL POOL ALOFT WILL
SEE DIURNAL SHOWERS DEVELOP...SO KEPT CHANCE POPS GOING WITH THE
BEST CHANCE ACROSS S NH/N MA FROM LATE MORNING INTO THE EVENING.
THURSDAY...
ANOTHER WEAK HIGH PRES SYSTEM WILL MOVE ACROSS THE NORTHEAST...SO
HAVE KEPT A DRY AND SEASONABLE FORECAST IN PLACE.
&&
.AVIATION /09Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS...
LOW...LESS THAN 30 PERCENT.
MODERATE...30 TO 60 PERCENT.
HIGH...GREATER THAN 60 PERCENT.
OVERVIEW...HIGH CONFIDENCE IN TRENDS BUT LOWER CONFIDENCE IN TIMING
TODAY THROUGH SATURDAY.
EXPECT CONDITIONS TO GRADUALLY LOWER TO MAINLY MVFR BY 12Z THIS
MORNING. MAINLY IFR CONDITIONS SHOULD THEN DEVELOP LATER THIS
MORNING AND PARTICULARLY THIS AFTERNOON/TONIGHT IN PERIODS OF HEAVY
RAIN. THERE MAY BE A RUMBLE OR TWO OF THUNDER ACROSS OUR SOUTHERN
AND EASTERN SECTIONS LATER TONIGHT...BUT DO NOT EXPECT ANYTHING
WIDESPREAD. A PERIOD OF SOUTHERLY WIND GUSTS OF 30 TO 40 KNOTS IS
POSSIBLE ALONG THE SOUTH COAST/CAPE/ISLANDS LATE TONIGHT AND EARLY
SATURDAY.
THE RAIN SHOULD COME TO AN END SATURDAY MORNING WITH AT LEAST
IMPROVEMENT TO MVFR CIGS BY LATE MORNING/EARLY AFTERNOON FROM WEST
TO EAST. FURTHER IMPROVEMENT TO VFR CONDITIONS MAY OCCUR THEREAFTER.
KBOS TERMINAL AND KBDL TERMINAL...
HIGH CONFIDENCE IN TRENDS...BUT LOW CONFIDENCE ON EXACT TIMING.
OUTLOOK...SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY...
SATURDAY NIGHT-SUNDAY...MODERATE CONFIDENCE.
MAINLY VFR WITH LIGHT WINDS. SEA BREEZES DEVELOP ACROSS COASTAL
TERMINALS AROUND MIDDAY. MAY SEE MVFR-IFR VSBYS IN PATCHY FOG LATE
SAT NIGHT/EARLY SUN ACROSS CENTRAL AND EASTERN AREAS.
MONDAY-TUESDAY...LOW TO MODERATE CONFIDENCE.
PATCHY FOG WITH MVFR-IFR VSBYS DURING THE PRE DAWN HOURS MONDAY
WHICH WILL BRIEFLY IMPROVE. EXPECT SHOWERS TO MOVE IN MONDAY
MORNING AND CONTINUE THROUGH TUESDAY. MAINLY LOW END VFR TO MVFR
CIGS/VSBYS...THOUGH MAY SEE POCKETS OF IFR MAINLY MON NIGHT INTO
TUE. LOW PROB OF ISOLD THUNDER FROM LATE MONDAY AFTERNOON INTO TUE
MORNING. S WINDS INCREASE MON NIGHT-TUE ACROSS S COASTAL AREAS.
&&
.MARINE...
FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS...
LOW...LESS THAN 30 PERCENT.
MODERATE...30 TO 60 PERCENT.
HIGH...GREATER THAN 60 PERCENT.
MODERATE CONFIDENCE TODAY THROUGH SATURDAY. SEAS WILL GRADUALLY
INCREASE TO SCA LEVELS ACROSS MOST OF OUR OUTER WATERS LATER
TODAY IN ADVANCE OF THE REMNANTS OF ANDREA. SEAS WILL THEN RAPIDLY
BUILD TO BETWEEN 10 AND 15 FEET LATE TONIGHT AND EARLY SATURDAY
ACROSS OUR SOUTHERN COASTAL WATERS...AS THE REMNANTS OF ANDREA
MOVES INTO SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND.
HAVE HOISTED GALE WARNINGS ACROSS OUR SOUTHERN AND SOUTHEAST
ATLANTIC WATERS AS WELL AS NANTUCKET SOUND...WHERE WERE MOST
CONFIDENCE IN A PERIOD OF SOUTHERLY WIND GUSTS BETWEEN 35 AND 40
KNOTS LATE TONIGHT INTO EARLY SATURDAY. HAVE ALSO GONE WITH GALE
WATCHES ACROSS SEVERAL OF OUR SOUNDS/CAPE COD BAY...WHERE A PERIOD
OF GALE FORCE WIND GUSTS COULD OCCUR DEPENDING ON THE TRACK. SCA
FOR ALL OTHER WATERS EXCEPT BOSTON HARBOR
OUTLOOK...SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY...
MODERATE CONFIDENCE THROUGH PERIOD.
SATURDAY NIGHT...WINDS WILL SHIFT FROM SW TO W AND DIMINISH
OVERNIGHT. HOWEVER...SEAS WILL REMAIN HIGH...UPWARDS TO 9 FT ON
THE OUTER WATERS EARLY. WILL SLOWLY SUBSIDE BUT REMAIN ABOVE SMALL
CRAFT CRITERIA.
SUNDAY...W-SW WINDS WILL REMAIN BELOW 15 KT. SEAS AROUND 5-6 FT
THROUGH THE DAY...THEN WILL SUBSIDE BELOW 5 FT SUN NIGHT.
MONDAY-TUESDAY...S-SW WINDS PICK UP DURING MONDAY AFTERNOON AND
NIGHT...BUT NOT EXPECTING GUSTS TO 25 KT UNTIL TUE ON THE
SOUTHERN WATERS. SEAS BUILD TO 5-6 FT ON THE OUTER WATERS LATE
MON NIGHT-TUE.
&&
.HYDROLOGY...
WIDESPREAD RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF 2 TO 4 INCHES ARE ANTICIPATED WITH
LOCALLY 5+ INCH AMOUNTS POSSIBLE. THE HEAVIEST RAINFALL IS
EXPECTED THIS AFTERNOON INTO EARLY SATURDAY MORNING. ITS POSSIBLE
THAT SOME LOCATIONS MAY SEE 2 TO 3 INCHES OF RAIN IN JUST 6 HOURS
TONIGHT. THEREFORE...OUR BIGGEST CONCERN CONTINUES TO BE FOR URBAN
AND POOR DRAINAGE STREET FLOODING WHICH IS ALMOST A CERTAINTY. IN
ADDITION...SOME SMALLER RIVERS AND STREAMS MAY BE EXPERIENCE SOME
FLOODING DEPENDING ON WHERE EXACTLY THE AXIS OF HEAVY RAIN SETS
UP. MOST OF OUR MAINSTEM RIVERS WILL LIKELY REMAIN IN THEIR
BANKS...BUT A FEW MANY GO INTO MINOR FLOOD IF THE HIGHER RAINFALL
AMOUNTS ARE REALIZED.
&&
.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
NO COASTAL FLOODING IS EXPECTED ALONG THE E COAST OF MA. THERE IS
A LOW PROBABILITY OF VERY MINOR FLOODING...PRIMARILY ALONG THE
SHORES OF BUZZARDS BAY DURING THE SAT MORNING TIDE CYCLE IF STRONG
SOUTHERLY WINDS DEVELOP. ESTOFS INDICATING A 1-2 FT SURGE BUT
ASTRO TIDES ARE RATHER LOW. THE WORST CASE SCENARIO IS FOR MINOR
FLOODING...ESPECIALLY IF THE STORM TRACKS FURTHER W BUT THE LIKELY
SCENARIO IS FOR NO FLOODING.
