The episode as NWS BOX wrote it up.
The second severe weather event for the day occurred north of the Massachusetts Turnpike (Interstate 90). This severe weather was triggered by an approaching cold front from the west. The previously hard hit areas of Rhode Island and southeast Massachusetts were not affected by this second round of storms. As these storms developed across western Massachusetts, they began to produce wind gusts of 50 to 60 mph. As they continued to move eastward, unusually large hail was the main event as several locations, including Boston, had hail up to 2 inches in diameter! In fact, the 2 inch diameter hail that occurred in Boston is the largest to ever occur in Suffolk County since records began in 1950.
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 Aug 4, 9:34 AM EST, 2 hours 21 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
1034 AM EDT TUE AUG 4 2015
.SYNOPSIS...
THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED TODAY...BUT MAINLY ACROSS THE EASTERN HALF
OF THE AREA. SOME MAY BECOME SEVERE. DRY...WARM AND LESS HUMID
WEATHER ARRIVES THURSDAY. A PERIOD OF UNSETTLED WEATHER IS
POSSIBLE THURSDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY...BUT CONFIDENCE IS LOW
REGARDING THE TIMING AND COVERAGE OF ANY POTENTIAL WET WEATHER.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
1030 AM UPDATE...
DO NOT LET YOUR GUARD DOWN. ADDITIONAL THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT IS
EXPECTED LATER TODAY SOME OF WHICH ARE LIKELY TO BE STRONG TO
SEVERE.
GOING INTO THE ENVIRONMENT: HIGHER THETA-E AIR RESIDES OFFSHORE
PUSHED OUT TO SEA BY THIS MORNINGS WEATHER. BUT EXPECTING A
REBOUND INTO AFTERNOON AHEAD OF A FRONTAL BOUNDARY SWEEPING SE.
HEIGHTS DO STILL RISE WITHIN THE LOW- TO MID-LEVELS AND THERE IS
SOME CONCERN THAT ACCOMPANYING SUBSIDENCE COULD SQUASH ACTIVITY
AS THE WATER VAPOR LOOP HAS A DRY-SLOT SWEEPING IN...BUT DESPITE
THIS THERE IS A STRONG PUSH OF MID-LEVEL ENERGY PER THE LATEST
HIGH-RES GUIDANCE ALONG WITH AN ACCOMPANYING JET STREAK THAT
YIELDS A DECENT SW LOW-LEVEL JET PUSHING HIGHER THETA-E AND
INSTABILITY BACK ACROSS SE NEW ENGLAND AND NEIGHBORING CENTRAL-
INTERIOR LOCALES. PWATS OF 1.25 TO 1.50 INCHES NW TO SE TOWARDS
DEEPER MOISTURE AND HIGHER THETA-E.
FOCUS ON AREAS WHEREVER THERE IS A NOSE OF CONVERGENCE OF THE
LOW-LEVEL FLOW / WHEREVER THE ENVIRONMENT CAN DESTABILIZE / AWAY
FROM THE DRY PUNCH PER WATER VAPOR TO THE W. SO ROUGHLY PUT THERE
IS FOCUS OVER THE E-HALF OF NEW ENGLAND TOWARDS THE SE TOWARDS THE
MIDDAY INTO AFTERNOON HOURS.
DECENT LAPSE RATES THROUGHOUT THE COLUMN WITHIN WHICH 0-6 KM BULK
SHEAR EXCEEDS 50 KTS. SOME TURNING WITHIN THE LOW-LEVEL 0-1/0-3 KM
PROFILE PER LATEST HIGH-RES GUIDANCE...OTHERWISE UNI-DIRECTIONAL
SW TO NE SHEAR.
A FINAL WORD...NOTE THE ENVIRONMENT FROM THE 12Z ALBANY SOUNDING
AND THAT OF CHATHAM! MUCAPE VALUES EXCEEDING 2K J/KG SO LONG AS WE
CAN MIX OUT THE BOUNDARY LAYER WHICH IS EXPECTED. NOTE ALSO THE
SHEAR PROFILE THAT WAS OBSERVED AS ROUGHLY UNI-DIRECTIONAL SW-NE.
ALREADY SEEING SPC MESOANALYSIS BECOMING ROBUST WITH MUCAPE VALUES
OF 2K J/KG AND EFFECTIVE SHEAR OF 50 KTS. MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES OF
6.5C/KM. PLENTY OF SUNSHINE TO WARM US UP INTO THE 80S WITH SOME
LOCALES NEAR 90.
SO WILL GO WITH LIKELY POPS WITH PRIORITIZED THREATS OF THE
FOLLOWING: HEAVY RAIN / FREQUENT LIGHTNING / URBAN AND POOR
DRAINAGE FLOODING ISSUES / STRONG TO DAMAGING WINDS / SMALL HAIL.
THERE IS THE POSSIBILITY OF A TORNADO.
&&
.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH 6 PM WEDNESDAY/...
OVERNIGHT...
COLD FRONT WILL BE SLOWING TO A NEAR STALL BETWEEN 00Z AND 04Z
THIS EVENING JUST OFFSHORE. THIS WILL ALLOW A CONTINUATION OF
T-STORM RISK MAINLY ACROSS COASTAL REGIONS UNTIL DRIER AIR MOVES
IN FROM THE NW AND CONVECTION SHIFTS S TOWARD BETTER INSTABILITY.
THEREFORE...GRADUAL IMPROVEMENT EXPECTED. SOME FOG POSSIBLE WHERE
RAINFALL OCCURS. OTHERWISE...TEMPS A LITTLE COOLER...MAINLY IN
THE LOWER 60S ACROSS THE AREA...OR EVEN IN THE 50S ACROSS NW MA.
WEDNESDAY...
CYCLONICALLY CURVED FLOW REMAINS IN PLACE ACROSS THE REGION
COMBINED WITH H5 TEMPS ABNORMALLY COLD...AROUND -13C. STALLED
FRONTAL BOUNDARY REMAINS TO THE S...BUT ONE FINAL SHORTWAVE WILL
BE ROTATING THROUGH TO THE N. THIS MAY LEAD TO SOME SCT
SHOWERS/T-STORMS MAINLY N OF THE MASS PIKE. WITH THE VERY COLD H5
TEMPERATURES...THERE IS A RISK FOR HAIL AS WELL. KEY WILL BE HOW
MUCH DRY AIR BUILDS THROUGH THE COLUMN. NOT EXPECTING
SHOWERS/STORMS TO BE AS WIDESPREAD AS TODAY...BUT SOME LOW CHANCE
OR AT LEAST SLIGHT CHANCE POPS ARE NEEDED TO REFLECT THE RISK.
WARMER TEMPS REMAIN IN PLACE...MAINLY THE LOW-MID 80S.
&&
.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
HIGHLIGHTS...
* UNSETTLED WEATHER POSSIBLE FRIDAY
* TEMPERATURES TRENDING BELOW NORMAL DURING THIS PERIOD
OVERALL...THE MODELS CONTINUE TO HAVE RATHER POOR AGREEMENT ON
THE DETAILS THROUGH THIS PORTION OF THE FORECAST. THERE IS SOME
AGREEMENT ON THE OVERALL PATTERN TREND...WITH A CLOSED MID LEVEL
LOW OVER EASTERN CANADA...MOVING INTO THE MARITIMES LATE THIS
WEEK. LOOKING AT A PERIOD OF UNSETTLED WEATHER WITH TEMPERATURES
TRENDING BELOW NORMAL THROUGH MUCH OF THIS TIME PERIOD.
THURSDAY...MUCH OF THE DAY LOOKS TO BE DRY WITH HIGH PRESSURE
BUILDING INTO THE AREA.
THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY...THIS LOOKS TO BE THE MOST
UNSETTLED TIME WITH A LOW PRESSURE MOVING INTO THE MID ATLANTIC
STATES...THEN POSSIBLY UP THE EAST COAST OVER THE 40/70 BENCHMARK
SOUTHEAST OF SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND. THE ECMWF REMAINS MORE BULLISH
THAN THE GFS...AND HAS A FASTER TIMING AS WELL. THE GFS ALSO HAS A
MORE SOUTHERN TRACK THAN THE GFS. GIVEN THE UNCERTAINTY IN THE
DETAILS...WILL KEEP AT LEAST A CHANCE OF RAINFALL...WITH THE
GREATEST POPS TOWARD THE SOUTH COAST OF NEW ENGLAND. WITH MOSTLY
CLOUDY TO OVERCAST SKIES FOR MUCH OF THIS TIME...EXPECTING BELOW
NORMAL TEMPERATURES.
SUNDAY AND MONDAY...MUCH OF THIS FORECAST WILL DEPEND ON HOW THE
PATTERN FOR FRIDAY AND SATURDAY DEVELOP. IN GENERAL THOUGH...
EXPECTING DRIER WEATHER WITH REBOUNDING TEMPERATURES.

AFTER STORMS/RAIN SWEEPS OFFSHORE LATE THIS EVENING...EXPECT
IMPROVEMENT TO VFR WHICH WILL LINGER INTO THE DAYLIGHT HOURS ON
WED. AN ISOLATED SHOWER OR THUNDERSTORM IS THEN POSSIBLE MAINLY N
OF THE MASS PIKE ON WED...BUT NOT AS WIDESPREAD AS TUE.

SW WINDS REMAIN IN PLACE AND WITH SOME GUSTS APPROACHING 25-30 KT
AT TIMES. GUSTS COULD APPROACH 45 KT IN AND NEAR THE STRONGER
THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED TO REDEVELOP ACROSS THE WATERS. THIS WILL
ALLOW SEAS...WHICH ARE ALREADY RUNNING AROUND 5 FT ON THE S WATERS
TO INCREASE...POSSIBLY INCREASING TO AS HIGH AS 7 FT BY THE EVENING.
SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES CURRENTLY OUT REFLECT THIS...SO NO CHANGES.
TONIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY...MODERATE CONFIDENCE.

WEATHER WITH LIGHT WINDS AND SEAS BELOW 5 FEET EXPECTED. RAIN IS
LIKELY AT TIMES THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY...LIMITING

AND SEAS INCREASE AS LOW PRESSURE PASSES SOUTH OF THE WATERS.
SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED FOR THE OUTER WATERS.
