Areas affected...Eastern Massachusetts

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely=20

Valid 181323Z - 181430Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

SUMMARY...Brief tornadoes will remain possible over the next hour as
a line of thunderstorms approaches the eastern Massachusetts coast.

DISCUSSION...Over the past 30-45 minutes, at least two tight,
low-level velocity couplets associated with possible tornadoes have
been observed from the KBOX radar as a line of thunderstorms
approaches the Boston area. VPW observations are sampling 0-1 km SRH
on the order of 500 m2/s2, which is very favorable for a continued
tornado threat assuming low-level thermodynamics remain favorable.
Based on observed and forecast soundings, temperatures in the low
70s are required to achieve adequate low-level buoyancy for
near-surface based convection capable of pose a tornado threat.
Latest surface observations show these conditions exist immediately
ahead of the line along a warm frontal zone draped from the Boston
area southward into Plymouth county. Consequently, additional brief
tornadoes will be possible before this line of storms reaches the
coast - especially on the northern end where a supercell-line hybrid
storm mode is noted. Given the very small spatial and temporal scale
of this threat, a watch is not expected.
