There is a mini convergence zone from south coast seabreeze and also outflow from Boston harbor that fires storms just south of the city. Also in the winter you do not have UHI and snowstorms are on par with BOS.

On average I'll still take my local. More often this area has more WSW and Severe threats. No matter, didn't mean to divert thread, you're right. Just something to watch as time goes by.

I'm not talking about Arlington though. They are obviously better in winter

If we destabilize enough though that cold pool could lead to large hailers 

 

I doubt large hailers with little shear. But I could certainly see a few storms being prolific 1/4-1/2 inch hail producers.

These cold pools always seem to do a bit more than we expect, especially with sufficient instability.  Not saying we will lots of 1''+ hail reports but I think we could see a couple.  I haven't look all that much though at tomorrow

Yeah I wouldn't call for golf balls but dews hear 72 and -10C at 500 certainly could mean hail.

Wiz must have been too far south?

That is pretty damn close to where I live.  It got gusty here but the core just missed me by like 1/2 mile

It's just so hard to get large hail with such warm temps aloft. You have a warm layer nearly 15,000 feet deep and it's just moist throughout. So you don't even get the evaporational cooling assist to keep hailstones from melting as they fall.

This was looking towards Ludlow and could potentially have been a false alarm funnel. 

 

(case in point why chasing is tough in the NE, but I can say this was very cool in person)

Certainly evidence of at least strong upward velocities to condense clouds like that.
