.PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
(ISSUED 1051 PM EST SUN JAN 22 2006)

SHORT TERM (REST OF TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY)...
AFTER LOOKING AT 00Z GFS/NAM WE WILL EXPAND WARNING SWD TO INCLUDE N
CT AND NW RI AND EXPAND ADVSY AREA TO INCLUDE PVD/BOS. LATEST GFS/NAM
HAVE BOTH TRENDED A LITTLE COLDER AND A PERIOD OF HVY SNOW LIKELY
JUST AFTER PRECIP MOVES IN JUST OUTSIDE IMMEDIATE S COAST. AN
EVENTUAL CHANGEOVER STILL LIKELY BDL-SFZ BUT DAMAGE MAY BE DONE BY
THE TIME THIS OCCURRS. WILL KEEP WATCH FOR S NH AS HEAVIER PRECIP MAY
NOT REACH THAT FAR N SO DECISION ON WARNING/ADVSY WILL BE MADE
DURING EARLY MORNING FCST. WE WILL ALSO BUMP UP POPS TNGT BASED ON
LATEST RADAR TRENDS AND QPF FCST.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
(ISSUED 850 PM EST SUN JAN 22 2006)

SHORT TERM (REST OF TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY)...
HIGH CLOUDS STREAMING EWD ACRS REGION WHICH WILL SLOW RAD COOLING
AND EXPECT MINS TO BE REACHED NEXT FEW HOURS IF NOT ALREADY.

LOW PRES OVER THE GULF COAST REGION ASSOCD WITH LARGE AREA OF PCPN
ACRS LOWER MS AND TN VLYS ALONG WITH LOTS OF LIGHTNING.  LEADING
EDGE APPROACHING SRN PA BUT ERODING AS IT RUNS INTO DRY AIRMASS.
GFS DOING A BETTER JOB THAN NAM WITH ONSET OF PCPN AND IT BRINGS
LEADING EDGE OF PCPN ACRS SW MA...N CT AND SW RI BEFORE DAYBREAK
THEN QUICKLY SPREADING EWD ACRS REST OF FA BY MID MORNING.

18Z MODEL SUITE SIMILAR TO 12Z RUN SHOWING SECONDARY LOW DEVLPG
ALONG MID ATL COAST EARLY MON MORNING THEN TRACKING JUST S OF SNE
COAST AND INSIDE BENCHMARK LATE MON/MON EVNG.  18Z NAM/GFS HAVE
TRENDED A LITTLE WETTER AND QUITE SIMILAR WITH 0.5 QPF INTO S NH
WITH 0.75-1 S OF MASS PIKE.  GIVEN LATEST RADAR TRENDS AND COASTAL
LOW TAPPING GULF AND ATLANTIC MSTR THIS LOOKS MORE THAN
REASONABLE...ALTHOUGH SINCE THIS IS A LOW AMPLITUDE AND PROGRESSIVE
SYSTEM DOUBT WE WILL SEE AMOUTS OVER 1.

QPF AMOUNTS CERTAINLY SUPPORT WINTER STORM...BUT THE MOST DIFFICULT
PART OF THE FCST WILL BE PTYPE AND RESULTING ACCUM.  COLD DRY
AIRMASS IN PLACE SO PRECIP SHOULD START AS SNOW EVERYWHERE XCP PSBLY
RA/SNW MIX OUTER CAPE/ISLANDS.  WITH SFC HI MOVING E OF NEW ENG LOW
LEVEL COLD AIR WILL ERODE QUICKLY ALONG THE COASTAL PLAIN FROM I95
EWD WITH MINOR ACCUM.  FURTHER INLAND LOW LEVEL COLD AIR WILL LIKELY
HOLD AS PRES FALLS S OF COAST WILL INDUCE NLY WIND IN THE INTERIOR
BUT MODELS SHOW MID LEVEL WARMING MOVING UP FROM THE S WHICH MAKES
FOR DIFFICULT SNOW ACCUM FCST.  PARTIAL THICKNESS INDICATE COLD AIR
DEEP ENOUGH FOR MOSTLY SNOW BAF-ORH-LWM NWD WHERE SREFS INDICATE
HIGHEST PROB OF SNOW...BUT MIXING LIKELY FROM BDL-NW RI-BED AND PSBL
BRF CHG TO RAIN WHICH WILL HOLD DOWN ACCUM.  WE THINK BEST CHC FOR
WARNING SNOWS WILL BE WEST OF 495 FROM MASS PIKE TO ROUTE 2.

CURRENT WATCH AREA LOOKS GOOD FOR WARNING LEVEL SNOWS SO WE WILL
BE UPGRADING THE WATCH AREA TO A WARNING WITH EVENING UPDATE BUT
WANT TO GET A LOOK AT 00Z NAM AND PSBLY GFS TO PSBLY MODIFY SNOW
ACCUM SO UPDATE WILL BE AFTER 10 PM.  OTHERWISE WE WILL RIDE WITH
CURRENT ACCUM OF 4-8 IN WARNING AREA.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
(ISSUED 256 PM EST SUN JAN 22 2006)

A PLOWABLE SNOWFALL EXPECTED MON ALONG AND N OF THE MASS PIKE
EXTENDING EAST TO I495...

SHORT TERM (TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY)...
12Z MDL SUITE HAS COME INTO BETTER AGREEMENT REGARDING SECONDARY SFC
LOW TRACK AND NORTHWARD EXTENT OF HEAVY QPF. 12Z GFS AND UKMET NOW
HAVE A MORE NORTHERN SOLUTION LIKE THE NAM AND CMC REGIONAL. THIS
SEEMS REASONABLE...AS COLD SFC HI REMAINS PROGRESSIVE DRIFING
OFSHR...WHICH WL ALLOW LOW LEVEL BAROCLINIC ZN NOW OFSHR TO DRIFT
NWD WITH SCNDRY SFC LOW TRACKING CLOSER TO THE CST PER PREVIOUS NAM
RUNS. GIVEN NAM RUN TO RUN CONTINUITY ALONG WITH 12Z GFS AND UKMET
APPROACHING NAM SOLUTION...WE WILL BASE THIS FCST ON THE 12Z
NAM...WHICH IS A SLIGHTLY WARMER SOLUTION THAN THE 12Z GFS.

MDLS ARE IN VRY GD AGREEMENT NOW ON QPF AND HAVE SHIFTED AXIS OF
HEAVY QPF NWD. STORM TOTAL QPF OF 0.50 INCHES AS FAR N AS PSF-ORE-
ASH...WITH 0.80 ACRS NRN CT THRU NRN RI TO PLYMOUTH COUNTY. GIVEN MDL
SPREAD HERE IS SMALL...CONFIDENCE IS ABV AVG IN MDL QPF. IN
ADDITION...THIS SYSTEM HAS COPIOUS MSTR WITH ITS ORIGINS FM THE GLF
OF MX...WITH LARGE SCALE LIFT AIDED BY POTENT RRQ OF UPR LVL JET MVG
ACRS THE AREA MON. MDLS (GFS MORE ROBUST) ALSO INDICATE ADDITIONAL
QPF POSSIBLE FM POTENTIAL MESOSCALE BANDING IN THE AFTN AS 850 HPA
TROF BEGINS TO CLOSE OFF AS IT TRAVERSES THE AREA.

AS FOR PTYPE...SEASONABLY COLD AIRMASS OVER THE REGION TAFTN...ALTH
MORE IMPORTANTLY ARE THE VERY LOW DEW PTS WHICH ARE IN THE SINGLE
DIGITS. THIS COLD AND DRY AIRMASS WL REMAIN IN PLACE OVERNIGHT WITH
PRECIP STARTING AS ALL SNOW ACRS MOST OF THE RGN TWD DAYBREAK (09Z
BDL/CEF/ORE- 12Z BOS/CC/ISS). EXCEPTION WL BE CC AND ACK WHERE IT WL
START AS A MIX OF RN AND SN. HOWEVER...COLD DRY AIRMASS WL ERODE
QUICKLY ALONG THE COAST...AS SFC HI DRIFTS OFSHR WITH SE RETURN FLOW.
FARTHER INLAND ACRS CT/NRN RI AND THE RT128 CORRIDOR...BLYR WRMG WL
BE SLOWER SO 2-4 INCHES OF SN EXPECTED BEFORE A CHANGOVER TO SLEET
AND RAIN BY MIDDAY.

FARTHER INLAND OVER MA...SPECIFICALLY ALONG AND N OF THE MASS PIKE
AND EXTENDING E TO I495 CORRIDOR...BOTH NAM AND GFS INDICATE COLD AIR
SHOULD REMAIN DEEP ENOUGH TO SUPPORT ALL SNOW...AS MODEST PRES FALLS
SHOULD BACK SFC WND TO NE...ALNG WITH MDLS CONFINING MLVL WARMING TO
S OF THE MASS PIKE. GIVEN MDL QPF ACRS THIS AREA AND THERMAL
PROFILES...THINK ITS PRUDENT TO ISSUE A WINTER STORM WATCH FOR THE
POTENTIAL OF 4-8 INCHES...WITH HIGHEST AMOUNTS OVR THE HILLY
TERRAIN. FARTHER S INTO NRN CT/NW RI AND RT-128 CORRIDOR IN ERN
MA...EXPECTING 2-4 INCHES BEFORE A CHANGEOVER...SO WL HOISTE WINTER
WEATHER ADVISORIES.

GIVEN THERE STILL IS A FAIR AMOUNT OF UNCERTAINTY ON THE NWD
PROGRESSION OF THE MLVL WARMING...WE DECIDE TO GO WITH A WATCH FOR
NOW AND LET THE EVENING SHIFT EVALUATE 18Z MDL TRENDS ALONG WITH 00Z
NAM...BEFORE ISSUING A WINTER STORM WARNING OR JUST A WIDESPREAD
WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY.

LONG TERM (MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY)...
SNOW SHOWERS TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY WILL USHER IN COLD AIR
FOR THE 2ND HALF OF THE WORK WEEK FOLLOWED BY A RETURN TO ABOVE
NORMAL TEMPERATURES NEXT WEEKEND...

A VIGOROUS UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL DROP INTO NORTHERN
NEW ENGLAND TUESDAY NIGHT AND THEN CLOSE OFF. THIS WILL SPAWN A
SECONDARY COASTAL STORM TO DEVELOP ACROSS NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND. THE
GFS/ECMWF MODELS ARE FARTHER SOUTH WITH THIS STORM HINTING THAT
THERE IS A CHANCE THAT SOME WRAP AROUND PRECIPITATION COULD MAKE IT
INTO OUR NORTHERN ZONES WITH THE MAIN CONCERN BEING NORTHEAST MA AND
SOUTHERN NEW HAMPSHIRE.  HOWEVER...IF THE CANADIAN/UKMET VERIFY THIS
AXIS WILL BE FURTHER NORTH BUT STILL FEEL LIKELY POPS ARE WARRANTED
IN OUR NORTHERN AND EASTERN ZONE...AS AT THE VERY LEAST WE SHOULD
SEE A GOOD WINDEX EVENT WITH AMPLE LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AND VERY COLD
AIR ALOFT.

AS THE UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE CLOSES OFF ACROSS NORTHERN NEW
ENGLAND ON WEDNESDAY...IT WILL ALLOW FOR COLD AIR ACROSS NORTHEAST
CANADA TO SPILL INTO OUR REGION.  WILL CONTINUE PREVIOUS FORECAST
TRENDS OF UNDER CUTTING MEX GUIDANCE THURSDAY AND INTO FRIDAY.  THIS
WILL NOT BE AN ARCTIC OUTBREAK...BUT COMPARED TO WHAT WE HAVE SEEN
FOR MOST OF JANUARY IT WILL BE COLD.  IN ADDITION...WE MAY FLIRT
WITH WIND ADVISORY CRITERIA BEHIND THE ARCTIC COLD FRONT ON
WEDNESDAY.  IT WILL ALSO REMAIN WINDY RIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY.

THE LONG RANGE MODELS INCLUDING THE ECMWF/UKMET/CANADIAN ARE IN
VERY GOOD AGREEMENT THAT THIS COLD SURGE WILL BE SHORT LIVED. VERY
WARM MID LEVEL AIR BY JANUARY STANDARDS WILL BE OVERSPREADING THE
MIDWEST LATE THIS WEEK AS THE JET STREAM RETURNS TO A ZONAL FLOW.
THE WARMING MID LEVEL AIR SHOULD MAKES ITS WAY INTO OUR REGION FOR
THE WEEKEND. WITH 850 MB TEMPERATURES RISING ABOVE 0C HAVE TACKED ON
A FEW DEGREES TO THE MEX GUIDANCE...BECAUSE IT APPEARS TO HAVE
TRENDED BACK TOWARDS CLIMATOLOGY. HAVE GONE WITH HIGHS WELL UP INTO
THE 40S...TO THE LOWER 50S FOR NOW BUT IT COULD BE MILDER. JUST
WANTED TO PLAY IT SOMEWHAT CONSERVATIVE THOUGH IN DAYS 6 AND 7.  THE
LATEST 12Z GFS SHOWS SHALLOW COLD AIR TRYING TO COME DOWN ACROSS
NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND ON SATURDAY.  HOWEVER...NONE OF THE OTHER LONG
RANGE MODELS SUPPORT THIS SO WILL NOT BE FOLLOWING THIS BUT LATER
SHIFTS WILL HAVE TO MONITOR.

THE CANADIAN/ECMWF/UKMET HINT AT AN INSIDER RUN BEGINNING SUNDAY
NIGHT SO HAVE INTRODUCED A CHANCE POP FOR RAIN AT NIGHT.

AVIATION...
VFR THROUGH MIDNGT WITH MVFR OVERSPREADING THE RGN FM W TO E BETWEEN
09-12Z. AREAS OF IFR EXPECTED THROUGHOUT THE DAY MON. SEE TAFS FOR
SPECIFICS.

MARINE...
LGT WNDS AND SUBSIDING SEAS TNGT. EAST TO NE WNDS DVLP MON WITH GUSTS
TO 30 KT DURING THE AFTN AS THE LOW PASSES S OF ACK. DECIDE TO DROP
THE GALES PER COLLABORATION WITH OKX AND OPC.

IN THE LONG TERM...SEAS AND WINDS WILL BEGIN TO BUILD BACK UP LATE
TUESDAY AFTERNOON AND NIGHT OUT AHEAD OF THE ARCTIC COLD FRONT. GALE
FORCE WIND GUSTS ARE EXPECTED WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY WITH STRONG
COLD ADVECTION BEHIND THE FRONT. MAY SEE WIND GUSTS AROUND 45 KNOTS
FOR A TIME WITH 850 MB WINDS PROGGED OVER 50 KNOTS WITH EXCELLENT
MIXING. WINDS AND SEAS WILL RELAX ON FRIDAY AS GRADIENT WEAKENS.

HYDROLOGY...
LWR CT REMAINS IN FLD...HWR FLD STAGES AND FLOWS CONTINUE TO
DECREASE. RFC GUID INDICATES HARTFORD TO FALL BELOW FLD STAGE MON
EVENING AND WITH MIDDLETOWN FINALLY DROPPING BELOW FLD STAGE TUE PM.
PRECIP MON WL HAVE LITTLE IMPACT ON RVR LVLS AND FLOWS GIVEN PTYPE WL
BE MAINLY SN...ESP UPSTREAM.
