PREVIOUS DISCUSSION... (ISSUED 433 AM EST SAT DEC 24 2005)

SHORT TERM (TODAY THROUGH SUNDAY)...
LOW PRESSURE WILL EXIT THE REGION THIS MORNING...WITH DIMINISHING
PRECIPITATION IN THE WAKE OF THE LOW. ANY ADDITIONAL SNOW
ACCUMULATIONS THIS MORNING WILL BE AROUND AN INCH OR LESS. SOME
PATCHY FREEZING DRIZZLE COULD OCCUR DOWNEAST EARLY THIS MORNING
WHILE THE STEADIER PRECIPITATION DIMINISHES. WILL MAINTAIN THE
CURRENT WINTER WEATHER ADVISORIES TIL THEIR SCHEDULED EXPIRATION.
HIGH TEMPERATURES TODAY WILL RANGE FROM THE UPPER 20S TO LOWER 30S
NORTH TO THE UPPER 30S DOWNEAST.

AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE WILL APPROACH THE REGION FROM THE WEST
LATER TONIGHT...BRINGING A CHANCE OF SNOW TO NORTHERN AREAS. SKIES
WILL REMAIN MOSTLY CLOUDY DOWNEAST. LOW TEMPERATURES TONIGHT WILL
RANGE FROM 15 TO AROUND 20 NORTH TO THE MID TO UPPER 20S DOWNEAST.

THE VORT MAX WILL TRACK ACROSS NORTHERN MAINE SUNDAY...BRINGING AN
INTERVAL OF STEADIER SNOW WITH SEVERAL INCHES OF ACCUMULATION
POSSIBLE ACROSS NORTHERN AREAS. ACROSS DOWNEAST AREAS...THERE WILL BE
A CHANCE OF RAIN AND SNOW WITH LESSER SNOW ACCUMULATIONS. HIGH
TEMPERATURES WILL RANGE FROM THE UPPER 20S NORTH TO THE MID TO
UPPER 30S DOWNEAST.

&&

LONG TERM (SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY)...
MODELS STARTING TO CONVERGE ON A SOLUTION ON WHAT APPEARS TO BE A
POTENTIALLY SIGNIFICANT WINTER STORM TO AFFECT AREA LATE SUNDAY NIGHT
INTO MONDAY NIGHT.

LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE EAST ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY ON SUNDAY AND
THEN REDEVELOP ACROSS THE MID ATLANTIC REGION SUNDAY NIGHT. THE LOW
WILL THEN INTENSIFY WHILE MOVING NORTHEAST ACROSS THE GULF OF MAINE
BY LATE MONDAY.

WITH MODELS COMING INTO AGREEMENT ON POTENTIALLY SIGNIFICANT EVENT
WENT WITH A WINTER STORM WATCH FOR EVERYWHERE BUT THE COAST FOR
SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT. THIS ALSO SUPPORTED BY LATEST
WINTER WEATHER GRAPHICS FROM HPC.

LOOKS LIKE PRECIPITATION WILL BE MAINLY SNOW ACROSS THE NORTH WITH
POSSIBLY A MIX ACROSS THE CENTRAL HIGHLANDS AND INTO THE INTERIOR
DOWNEAST ZONES. ENOUGH WARM AIR SHOULD BE DRAWN IN ALONG THE
IMMEDIATE COAST FOR A CHANGE TO ALL RAIN THERE FOR A TIME SUNDAY
NIGHT AND EARLY MONDAY. WE ARE CONCERNED THAT THE MODELS MAY BE
TRYING TO BRING THE WARM AIR TOO FAR NORTH CONSIDERING THE
STRENGTH OF THE HIGH OVER SOUTHEAST CANADA. THIS SHOULD HELP TO
FEED THE COLD AIR IN AT THE LOWER LEVELS. THIS COULD RESULT IN A
PROLONGED PERIOD OF FREEZING PRECIPITATION ACROSS THE INTERIOR
DOWNEAST ZONES.

WHILE THE LOW MOVES NORTHEAST DURING MONDAY COLDER WRAPPING BACK DOWN
ACROSS THE AREA SHOULD CHANGE ANY MIXED PRECIPITATION BACK TO ALL
SNOW DURING THE AFTERNOON. THE LOW WILL THEN TRACK NORTHEAST
TOWARD THE MARITIMES MONDAY NIGHT WITH SIGNIFICANT WRAP AROUND SNOW
POSSIBLE ACROSS THE NORTH LATER MONDAY NIGHT.

PRECIPITATION WILL WIND DOWN LATE MONDAY NIGHT AND EARLY TUESDAY
MORNING WHILE THE LOW CONTINUES TO MOVE NORTHEAST THROUGH THE
MARITIMES AND HIGH PRESSURE STARTS TO BUILD ACROSS FROM THE WEST.

NO CHANGES TO REMAINDER OF EXTENDED FORECAST TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH
FRIDAY.

MVFR CEILINGS TO PERSIST...WITH LOWERING CEILINGS/VISIBILITIES
