Today should about do it for severe season. See ya next May. 

SPC:
 

   On Day 4 (Friday 9-21) however, an initial upper trough is forecast
   to be advancing quickly eastward across the Great Lakes and later
   the Northeast U.S., and adjacent eastern Canada.  This trough will
   be accompanied by a seasonably strong cold front, progged to shift
   across the Northeast and Ohio Valley and shift off the New England
   coast by the beginning of Day 5.  While instability along the length
   of the front -- particularly across New England -- will likely
   remain limited, strong westerly/west-southwesterly flow through a
   deep tropospheric layer may support potential for gusty/damaging
   winds, with a frontal line of convection.  Thus, a severe risk area
   is being included Day 4, from parts of the Midwest/Ohio Valley
   northeastward into New England.

I couldn't believe we were in a D3 slight for Friday...did not see any potential at all this far east.

With that said...Wednesday looks intriguing 

This is going to be the day 4 slight that works out, after they chucked for Friday.

I was a little (lot?) :drunk: at a rehearsal dinner/welcome party in PSM but I don't remember any severe there.

Was surprised  Wednesday is already a slight risk

Wind fields are actually really impressive. 50 knots below 1 km for a good chunk of New England north of the Pike. Turning isn't great, but there is so much speed shear that helicity is actually fairly high 0-3 km. So classic high shear/low CAPE look. 

Big if is the dewpoint forecast. Models want to surge 70s up into NH, which helps produce a little CAPE anyway. If that busts it could just be a strong cold front.

I was clueless on Friday. I also thought we were in the divergent portion of the ULJ which was quite strong. 

Wednesday isn't ideal but the potential is certainly there. I do think the main forcing could lag just slightly but we'll see

gee - too bad this warm front wasn't 6 hours further along ... we'd -a had an EOF fest out there prolly -

Already impressive turn around... It was 44 and spittin when I left my driveway this morning ... brrr.  Only thing missing was fireplace aroma...   But, it's managed to erode its way up to 60 despite the overruning mank.  

By the way, is/are there any decent web sources for estimated rainfall other than NWS Boston ?
