It would be great to see the sun poke through for a few hours and see what severe could result 

Severe potential pretty low today IMO except maybe a rogue cell or two. Sun not much of a factor with this...instability is there due the high dews/theta-e air (granted mostly water loaded) but shear is really not much. 

Deal is there is plenty of buoyance to lift parcels, but just not enough forcing/dynamics to generate deep convection. 

Best convection right now near Syracuse where they are on the nose of some steeper mid-level lapse rates and dry slot just behind the front.

Got to the office in Hyde Park.  Unsure if I will have to end up sleeping here.  Looks like 100 in Waterbury will go under water near Ben and Jerrys if we get much more.  Saw one spot in Middlesex where the water could come onto I89.

Graphic for MPD #0687

Mesoscale Precipitation Discussion 0687
NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD
745 AM EDT Mon Jul 10 2023

Areas affected...Southern NH...Central MA

Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

Valid 101145Z - 101700Z

SUMMARY...Periods of heavy rainfall, possibly ranging between
1-1.5"/hr in the heaviest showers and storms, may cause flash
flooding this morning in urbanized communities and locations with
overly saturated soils.

DISCUSSION...The surface low in the Long Island sound features a
warm front stretching south of of the southern New England coast.
As the morning unfolds, the upper trough will develop a 500-850mb
low and continue to funnel SSE 850mb moisture flux into New
England. PWATs are generally between 1.8-1.9", values that
according to NAEFS are above the 97.5 climatological percentile at
12Z. MUCAPE is generally lacking, but values may approach 250-500
J/kg later this morning as the warm front inches north. The strong
low level SE flow is ideal for upslope enhancement into the
Worcester Hills and southern slopes of the Whites. The steady 300K
isentropic lift will foster periods of heavy rain into the
Merrimack Valley today as well. Lastly, there are also heavier
showers approaching from RI that could lead to locally heavy
rainfall in the Boston metro area.

Given the lack of instability, this should help to limit the top
end rainfall rates to be <1.5"/hr. That said, soils are still
quite saturated thanks to 300-600% of normal rainfall over the
past 7-days according to AHPS. As the 500mb trough takes on a
slight negative tilt, there could be further enhancement of the
precipitation shield into the late morning and early afternoon
hours. Given the prolonged nature of the rainfall expected, flash
flooding is possible this morning. Locations most vulnerable in
the area highlighted with the heaviest rainfall over the past
week, as well as urbanized communities and low-lying, poor
drainage spots. Possible impacts include gradually rising
streams/creeks and flooding/ponding on roadways.

Yes. To whomever told me my house would be fine…it’s in Plymouth and is currently completely cut off.  We have no idea if it is flooded or not.  The power is out and the area has no cell service so our neighbors are both physically cut off and also have no means to communicate with the outside world.  It’s bad.

I said your house would probably be fine because you up on the hill.  Of course I said that not knowing how close you were to any streams.

BOX should just issue a FFW proactively. Slow eastward movement and long residence time of heavy rain makes it a given. 

Good point - E CT / NW RI about to float away and incoming for ORH county 

Should be some impressive totals next 3-4 hours in this area
