The episode as NWS BOX wrote it up.
A very unstable airmass, with large downdraft CAPEs, led to the development of widely scattered, slow-moving severe thunderstorms during the mid-afternoon hours.
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 24, 9:14 AM EST, 3 hours 46 minutes earlier.
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Boston/Norton MA 1014 AM EDT Mon Aug 24 2020 .SYNOPSIS... Warm and humid conditions to continue into early next week. Scattered thunderstorms are expected to develop again today, a few of which may become strong to severe. Thunderstorms may be more numerous on Tuesday ahead of a strong cold front, and those may also become strong to severe. Dry, autumn feel across southern New England on Wednesday. Unsettled pattern returns late in the week and heading into the weekend with temperatures trending upward. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/... 1010 AM Update... * Scattered strong-severe thunderstorms possible after 2 or 3 with the greatest risk near and south of MA Turnpike Previous forecast is pretty much on track. Low clouds were burning off which should result in partly to mostly sunny skies yielding another very warm to hot afternoon. High temps should top out in the upper 80s to the lower 90s in many locations and it will be humid too. The main concern will be the potential for scattered strong to severe thunderstorms after 2 or 3 PM. The amount of forcing appears somewhat more limited compared to yesterday. That being said, HREF indicates the potential for 2-3K J/KG of Cape especially near and south of the MA Turnpike. Effective shear is marginal, but we have about 25 knots which is enough given the amount of instability. In addition, DCapes near 1000 J/KG will promote a localized damaging wind gust potential with the strongest storms. The other thing is that while we do not have an EML in place, mid level lapse rates are near or a bit above 6 C/KM. This may be enough for a few robust updrafts and perhaps isolated hail as a secondary concern. Putting it all together, while activity probably will not be as widespread as yesterday we still expect the potential for scattered strong to severe thunderstorms. While this threat will exist across the entire region, areas near and south of the MA Turnpike appear to have the highest risk where best instability sets up. Main risk will be localized damaging wind gusts given ample DCape, but isolated large hail will be a secondary concern. Lastly, heavy rain and brief localized urban street flooding is a concern too. && .SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM TUESDAY/... Tonight: Any leftover storms should be weakening and/or moving offshore early tonight. Should see improving conditions as we move into the midnight/early-overnight hrs. While generally clear for the interior, will again see development of patchy fog and/or low stratus overnight towards the South Coast and the Cape. Lows in the 60s. Tuesday: ** Strong to severe thunderstorms capable of gusty winds and hail possible Tuesday ** While there are some uncertainties and limiting factors, Tuesday still continues to look quite active. The very warm and humid conditions presently across Southern New England will continue to exist ahead of a powerful cold front and related strong mid/upper level trough to support a risk for strong to severe thunderstorms. SPC has maintained 15%/Slight Risk severe probabilities for Tuesday, these probabilities maintained from the earlier Day-3 and Day-4 outlooks. On the cold front itself, guidance continues to vary on exact timing of the frontal passage thru Southern New England. This will need some refining, but at the moment we could be looking at a late- morning to mid-afternoon frontal passage. Given the strength of the flow aloft, the front should be hauling fairly quickly through our area and that may limit how much we can destabilize before the front arrives. Still, storms which form are expected to get a boost from strong forcing tied to the digging shortwave trough. With effective- layer wind shear values around 40-45 kt and most-unstable CAPE values conservatively around 1500-2000 J/kg, this is an environment that supports severe weather in the form of gusty/damaging winds and hail. While straight hodographs and shear values support organized multicells and splitting-supercell types, the strength of the front may make it difficult for storms to stay cellular long enough with a favored linear mode. Though guidance varies on placement of frontal storms, consistency in SPC's convective forecasts and the instability/shear and forcing make a compelling argument to include gusty winds and small hail in the forecast. Stay tuned! Will again see temperatures rise into the mid to upper 80s on Tuesday, only slightly cooler than prior days. Will also have westerly breezes pre-frontal, with a sharp wind shift to northwest arriving late in the day. && .LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/... Highlights * Will feel like autumn on Wednesday as a Canadian high nudges into the region. * Appears unsettled late in the week and heading into the weekend. May see drier weather return by Sunday. Tuesday night through Wednesday night... Upper trough slides offshore Tuesday night into early Wednesday, while a ridge builds from Manitoba into northern Ontario. The ridge will keep building into northern Ontario through Wednesday. At the surface a cold front will be offshore. Behind the front, a Canadian high will nudge into the region from Ontario/James Bay. Any leftover showers and thunderstorms will be winding down with the front offshore. Skies will clear fairly quickly Tuesday evening into early Wednesday, so could have strong radiational cooling across the region with plummeting dew points. Have nudged low temperatures toward the 25th percentile of guidance. Have kept from going cooler as winds may stay up due to the tight pressure gradient across the region from the departing front and high nudging in. Lows falling into the upper 40s across far northwest MA and in the 50s elsewhere. Will remain breezy across southern New England on Wednesday with the tightened pressure gradient in place. Will be a big change from the past couple of days with an autumn like feel and very comfortable with dew points in the 40s to low 50s. Aloft will see 4 to 8 degree Celsius cold air advection. This results in high temperatures in the lower to middle 70s across the region. There may perhaps be a few upper 70 degree readings across the CT River Valley being aided by W/WNW downsloping at 925 hPa. Wednesday night through Sunday... Confidence in the forecast significantly diminishes during this timeframe. The majority of Wednesday night into Thursday morning will be dry, but there are hints that a decaying thunderstorm complex slides southeastward into southern New England or the Mid Atlantic for Thursday from the central Great Lakes. Given that this is 48+ hours out and outside the window of CAMs (this complex would have origins in the Upper Mississippi River Valley), have kept a blended model approach. This keeps southern New England under slight chance to chances of precipitation. Will need to see how things evolve upstream in future updates, but there is a few hundred J/kg of MUCAPE in place along with 45-50+ kts of 0-6 km shear. Do expect temperatures and dew points to rise as flow becomes more W to WSW aloft. Will be slightly warmer with readings in the mid to upper 70s. Should still be comfortable with dew points in the 50s, though southern portions of the region may creep into the lower 60s. Lots of spread amongst guidance from Thursday through Saturday as the remnants of Laura get pulled into the upper flow late in the week. This may interact with a trough digging into the Great Lakes, but there are timing and amplitude differences in the strength of the trough. As stated earlier, appears that it will remain unsettled with rain chances Friday and Saturday. May see a ridge build into Ontario on Sunday and provide drier weather. && .AVIATION /14Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/... Forecaster Confidence Levels... Low - less than 30 percent. Moderate - 30 to 60 percent. High - greater than 60 percent. 14Z Update... Today: High confidence in TAF/trends, moderate on TSRA coverage/timing. Most locations have already improved to VFR, but low clouds and fog remained across the Cape/Islands. This should burnoff over the next few hours. Strong heating will again lead to a risk for SHRA/TSRA. Storms should prove less numerous than Sunday - probably closer to iso/sct, but any that do develop between 18-00z may again become strong to locally severe. Gusty t-strm winds, brief MVFR- LIFR cig/visby restrictions possible if a direct hit. Could see the MVFR to LIFR stratus return to ACK late this afternoon. SW winds 5-9 kt with sea breezes at the coast. Tonight: High confidence. Any SHRA/TSRA end during the evening. Should see VFR for most in the interior, with another night of IFR-LIFR fog/stratus for the South Coast, Cape Cod and the Islands. Could see patchy fog across the interior especially in locations where any showers/storms move through. WSW winds 4-7 kt. Tuesday: Moderate confidence. Early-day IFR/LIFR stratus/fog dissipates early Tues to a brief window of VFR conditions. Tuesday however is looking active, as seasonably strong cold front then moves across Southern New England, though timing the FROPA through isn't well agreed upon. Currently thinking late- AM to mid-afternoon timing of FROPA. Front will likely bring at least scattered TSRA along/ahead of it which may become strong to severe, with a gusty wind shift to WNW/NW late Tues. KBOS Terminal...High confidence in TAF. Sea-breeze around 16-17z, VCTS/TSRA possible ~20-00z. KBDL Terminal...High confidence in TAF. VCTS/TSRA possible 18-22z. Outlook /Tuesday Night through Friday/... Tuesday Night through Wednesday: VFR. Breezy. Wednesday Night: Mainly VFR, with local MVFR possible. Thursday: Mainly MVFR, with areas VFR possible. Breezy. Chance SHRA, slight chance TSRA. Thursday Night: Mainly VFR, with areas MVFR possible. Slight chance SHRA, slight chance TSRA. Friday: Mainly MVFR, with areas VFR possible. Chance SHRA. && .MARINE... 730 AM Update... Fog and stratus will linger across the ocean waters through today and into tonight. Some locations may see the fog/stratus burn off, but think overall most areas will remain socked in per high res guidance. Previous discussion... Winds and seas on the waters to be below small craft advisory thresholds. Gusts under 20 kt today from the SW with seas under 3'. On Tuesday, strengthening low-level winds ahead of a strong cold front could support borderline SCA gusts on the southern waters with seas in the 3 to 4' range. Areas of fog to dissipate over the waters early this morning, though another round of fog/stratus is anticipated again tonight. Fog may be locally dense at times. Thunderstorms, some strong, may threaten the waters today but a better potential is on Tuesday. Looking ahead, we may need to consider marine headlines into Wednesday due to strong NW winds behind the cold front. Outlook /Tuesday Night through Friday/... Tuesday Night: Winds less than 25 kt. Seas up to 5 ft. Wednesday through Wednesday Night: Winds less than 25 kt. Seas locally approaching 5 ft. Thursday: Winds less than 25 kt. Seas locally approaching 5 ft. Chance of rain showers, slight chance of thunderstorms. Thursday Night: Winds less than 25 kt. Chance of rain showers, slight chance of thunderstorms. Friday: Winds less than 25 kt. Chance of rain showers. && .BOX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... CT...None. MA...None. RI...None.
