   Valid 302000Z - 311200Z

   ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS EASTERN
   MA THROUGH THIS EVENING...

   ...SUMMARY...
   Thunderstorms with gusty winds may affect eastern Massachusetts
   through early evening.

   ...20z Update...

   The previous forecast remains on track and no changes are needed
   with the 20z update. Forecast guidance continues to indicate a small
   window of opportunity through early evening for a few strong
   thunderstorms to develop. Strong wind gusts will be the main hazard
   with this activity.

   ...New England...
   A vigorous shortwave trough is currently along the Carolina coast. 
   This system will track northward, with an associated deepening
   surface low approaching the coast of southeast New England later
   this afternoon and early evening.  It currently appears the low will
   move into RI or eastern MA, with very strong southeasterly low-level
   winds in the warm sector over Cape Cod.  This may be coincident with
   a cluster of thunderstorms indicated by several CAM solutions. 
   Forecast soundings suggest the near-ground stable layer will be
   rather shallow, with the potential for isolated strong/severe gusts
   in the most organized cells.  It appears this threat will primarily
   be during the 21-03z period.
