428 AM EST SUN FEB 26 2006

.SHORT TERM /TODAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
COMING SOON.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
VERY WEAK SURFACE LOW PRESSURE TROUGH SCOOTS ACROSS THE REGION
BETWEEN 00Z AND 06Z TUE. CANNOT RULE OUT SOME FLURRIES WITH THIS.
OTHERWISE SKIES WILL BECOME MOSTLY CLEAR. WINDS WILL STILL BE STRONG
OVER THE COASTAL WATERS BUT INLAND...WINDS SHOULD DECOUPLE AS TEMPS
PLUMMET AGAIN TO SINGLE DIGITS.

COLD WEATHER WILL CONTINUE ON TUE WITH A GOOD DEAL OF SUNSHINE AND
WEAK HIGH PRESSURE IN CONTROL.  850 MB TEMPS MODERATE FROM -20C TO
-13C AND HIGH TEMPS SHOULD MAKE IT INTO LOWER AND MID 30S EXCEPT
UPPER 20S SOUTHWEST NH.

ON TUE NIGHT...A BAND OF CLOUDINESS ROTATING AROUND LOW PRESSURE
WELL TO OUR NORTHEAST SHOULD COME AS FAR SOUTH AS THE MAINE/NEW
HAMPSHIRE BORDER THEN HEAD OUT TO SEA...SO SKIES SHOULD REMAIN
MOSTLY CLEAR FOR SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND.

WED LOOKS TO BE NICE WITH HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED OVER US AND
TEMPERATURES MODERATING FURTHER...ALLOWING FOR HIGHS FROM 36-42
ACROSS SOUTHERN AREAS.

THE NEXT MAIN WEATHER MAKER WILL BE LOW PRESSURE INTENSIFYING AS IT
DROPS SOUTHEASTWARD ACROSS THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES WED NIGHT AND
ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND ON THU.  WINDS WILL SHIFT TO THE SOUTH
ALLOWING MOISTURE TO BE DRAWN INTO THE REGION. RIGHT NOW IT APPEARS
THAT CONDITIONS WILL BE COLD ENOUGH FOR THE PRECIPITATION TO START
AS SNOW...THEN CHANGE TO A MIXED BAG OF SNOW...SLEET...FREEZING
RAIN...AND THEN TO PLAIN RAIN FROM SOUTH TO NORTH.  HOW QUICKLY THE
TRANSITION OCCURS WILL DETERMINE HOW MUCH SNOW WOULD ACCUMULATE.
THE CHANCES ARE BEST IN SOUTHERN NEW HAMPSHIRE...AS THE CHANGEOVER
WOULD TAKE THE LONGEST THERE.

THAT SYSTEM DEPARTS BY THU EVENING WITH QUIET AND COOL WEATHER
REMAINING FOR FRI AND SAT.
