Sell the coastal . Convection will rob most of the moisture 

I’m buying decent rains

Forget the stupid hazard type. But holy hell WTF

But the CAPE is too low!  "Only" 1291!  Lapse rates not high by Midwest standards.  So it works there but not here?

I wonder if we see a small high risk on the new D1. That is a wild environment that will be evolving today. That is a very elongated line of supercells which develop ahead of the cold front later and not to mention supercells which develop along and ride parallel to the front and will be ingesting destabilizing air from the south.

These things always seem to fizzle in summer with convection involved

Yes. Everywhere but here.

Wouldn’t get wild or hyped up for severe and tors tomorrow. All the parameters not lined up

[dendrite]

Wet and wedged up here until mid afternoon tomorrow. Puff puff pass

[weatherwiz]

MAV 76 for BOS tomorrow

MET 66 (and thats the evening)

NBM 81

must be a front or something nearby tomorrow  

[CoastalWx]

Hrrr is decent in CNE and NNE but looks like that’s due to better forcing despite being wedged. Looks like warm capped hangover breathe here as usual. 

[CoastalWx]

If we can bust 80 I think potential would increase here.

Min 48.7°

Frost on the pumpkin this morning

drier air aloft also looks to be an issue down this way

But that's how you get an EML!

But at least when the cap breaks you are rapidly transporting moisture into the troposphere!

We’re advecting warmer air aloft 700-500. Usually not a good sign for SNE unless we had very warm temps. Definitely red flags as usual in SNE but kinematics are there. Like I said, get us over 80. 

[HoarfrostHubb]

Slightly warm, mostly dry, and boring (for most)  for at least a week

Doubt it but today should be nice regardless out there. Destructive tag on that latest severe thunderstorm warning out in Iowa. 

As for here, expectations kept in check for tomorrow. Not expecting much down this way. 

Whatever ejects out of the Midwest this weekend looks modestly intriguing. 

[Cyclone-68]

Looks like those poor midwesterners are gonna get hit with everything but the kitchen sink today. 2000-3000 j/kg yikes.

Must be nice.

I would caution this does not always work well.  June 2, 1990 has a big tor outbreak in the Great Lakes/Midwest/OH Valley w/ IN getting absolutely crushed w/ 37 tor in the state (more than the 1974 Superoutbreak).  66 tor in this event w/ 7 F4s, and forecasts were big for NY/PA and New England for June 3, and a complete bust.

mm... this doesn't lower the value nor significance of the statistical correlation - which is synoptic/ holistic in scale. 

Not a discrete convective level/meso analysis/indicator.  Which there are no known telecons that can be that predictively discrete.  For obvious reasons... 

The point is that the set ups tend to move that incremental spatial-temporal range in the 24 hour window.

Hell, not every +PNA/-NAO creates a winter storm here, either, and that's dealing with scales that are far more obvious to the physics.

Yeah.. this is what I was suggesting to you yesterday ... there's a warm boundary that the Euro and GFS are less coherently defining.  The NAM on the other hand is kinking the PP enough to suggest a triple point goes underneath Logan. 

I have seen both scenarios verify in situations like this.  I am not presently seeing anything that argues for either. About split.
