The forecast is obviously going to evolve, but there actually could be some potential during this time frame.

 

Per Euro: First shortwave swings through mid-week to bring some higher dews into the area. A second, more potential shortwave moves north of the area by Saturday. Cloud-cover and (lack of) destabilization could be limiting factors and we won't really know clear details until we get a few days closer in.

Friday does look quite interesting but lapse rates look like they will be complete crap.  With that said though llvl shear is pretty strong with pretty long and curved hodo's so some low topped spinups are certainly in play here.  could be similar to the day several weeks back where CT had 3 tornadoes.

Nothing about Thursday/Friday is going to be a high CAPE situation. It will be low instability with high shear so we'll have to watch how things evolve.

I remember back in 1998's summer, in June, there was a night where there was pig mechanics and like perfunctory CAPE, yet there were numerous (at the time) F0 and F1 spinners in swarms of broken bands of thunder.  I think there was one F2. Could be like that with such fast flow aloft and good bulk helicity.  Not saying that it's an analog but one thing this has is that it's day-time.

I think that event though dealt with much steeper lapse rates which probably lead to more instability than modeled.

The NAM has a spurious convectively induced low Friday morning, although all models have a weak low at that time....NAM just up to its old tricks.

A few of the SREF members blow up a low on Thursday too. The high resolution models are having a tough time trying to figure out the evolution here.

Are we going to clear by Saturday morning? I'm all for a Thunderstorm threat on Thurs/Friday, but I'm hoping it's flushed out of here by Sat AM. I heard the Euro was the slowest with the front.

 

Very iffy. I think it may be tough for you in SE MA to be cleared out...might even be a few shwrs still.

NAM/GFS continue with a tornado threat on Friday. Some thunderstorm threat Thursday afternoon as well... but I don't see a widespread severe threat. 

The NAM is very impressive with the tornado threat, especially for SW New England and back into NY, but it took a big jog NW from the last run with the low pressure track. We'll see some more waffling with details, but overall I'd definitely keep an eye on Friday.

NAM is bogus though with its SLP depiction - with a spurious/convective feedback LLJ so it's tough to take seriously.
