.SHORT TERM UPDATE /REST OF TODAY THROUGH TONIGHT/...
TRICKY SITUATION SETTING UP FOR THE COASTAL PLAIN AND S COAST FOR
TNGT AS RAPID CYCLOGENESIS TAKES PLACE NEAR AND E OF THE BENCHMARK.
WE HAVE GOOD 850-700 MB FRONTOGENETIC FORCING 00-06Z TNGT IN THE
COASTAL PLAIN WITH INSTABILITY ABOVE THIS LAYER SO WE SHOULD SEE A
BURST OF HEAVIER PCPN. ALSO...MAX OMEGA OCCURS IN FAVORED DENDRITIC
SNOW GROWTH ZONE. THE MAIN ISSUE IS THE BOUNDARY LAYER TEMPS.

INTIALLY PRECIP WILL BE IN THE FORM OF RAIN LATER THIS AFTN...BUT AS
CYCLOGENESIS TAKES PLACE AND OMEGA INCREASES EXPECT THE BOUNDARY
LAYER TO COOL RAPIDLY AS TEMPS ALOFT ARE RATHER COLD...WITH RAIN
TRANSITIONING TO SNOW ALONG THE COAST 00-03Z. WE THINK THERE COULD BE
A PERIOD OF MODERATE SNOW TNGT ACRS RI AND SE MA INCLUDING THE
CAPE...AND LATER TNGT FOR ACK/MVY AS NORTHERN EDGE OF COMMA HEAD
BRIEFLY AFFECTS THE COAST. WE WILL CONTINUE WITH ACCUM OF 1-3
HERE...WHICH WILL BE LESS IF CHANGEOVER OCCURS LATER AND PSBLY MORE
IF TRANSITION TO SNOW WERE TO OCCUR EARLIER.

WE DID NOT CHANGE REST OF FCST. BULK OF QPF THIS AFTN WILL BE ACROSS
N CT AND W MA. PTYPE PROBABLY RAIN OR RAIN/SNOW MIX IN N CT AND
MOSTLY SNOW IN THE BERKS WHERE 1-2 PSBL. TOTAL ACCUM IN THIS AREA
MAY REACH 2-4 AND AN ADVSY WILL HAVE TO BE CONSIDERED WITH AFTN
FCST.

SHORT TERM /TODAY THROUGH TONIGHT/...

SHORT WAVE MAKING ITS WAY SOUTHEASTWARD ACROSS THE UPPER LAKES
EARLY THURSDAY MORNING WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE TOWARD THE NYC METRO
AREA AND SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND TODAY. WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS THAT
THIS SHORT WAVE IS QUITE INTENSE AND WELL-DEVELOPED. OCNL LIGHTNING
STRIKES HAVE BEEN ASSOCIATED WITH THIS FEATURE AS WELL.

AS THE SHORT WAVE KNIFES ITS WAY TOWARD THE COAST THIS
AFTERNOON...SECONDARY LOW PRESSURE WILL BEGIN TO FORM OFF THE JERSEY
SHORE LATE. THIS SECONDARY LOW WILL INTENSIFY RAPIDLY AS IT MOVES
SOUTHEAST OF NANTUCKET OVERNIGHT.

THERE WILL BE TWO MAIN PRECIPITATION AREAS PRODUCED BY THIS SYSTEM.
THE FIRST WILL BE A STRIPE OF WAA/OVERRUNNING TYPE SWATH OF PRECIP
THAT QUICKLY MOVES/PROPAGATES SOUTHEASTWARD ACROSS NY STATE AND
PENNSYLVANIA THIS MORNING...EVENTUALLY GETTING INTO WESTERN AND
CENTRAL NEW ENGLAND THIS AFTERNOON. WILL CARRY CAT POPS FOR THIS
ACTIVITY...BUT CONFINE IT MOSTLY TO THE SOUTHWESTERN HALF OF THE
CWA...WITH LESSER POPS TO THE NORTH AND EAST OF A KEENE NH/PLYMOUTH
MASS LINE. FOR THE MOST PART...BOUNDARY LAYER TEMPS LOOK TO WARM
ENOUGH ACRS MOST ZONES TO ALLOW A RAIN OR RAIN/SNOW MIX THIS
AFTERNOON. ONLY THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF CT/WRN MASS SHOULD SEE ALL
SNOW. IT MAY BE HARD TO MUCH IN THE WAY OF PRECIP INTO BOSTON THIS
AFTERNOON. WILL GO WITH MAXES TODAY IN THE UPPER 30S TO LOWER 40S.

TONIGHT...AS THE LOW RAPIDLY DEEPENS TO THE SOUTH OF NEW ENGLAND THE
SECOND AREA OF PRECIPITATION...AND MUCH MORE ROBUST AT THAT...SHOULD
DEVELOP IN A DEVELOPING COMMA HEAD. MOST MODEL GUIDANCE SUGGESTS
THAT THE HEAVIEST COMMA HEAD PRECIPITATION WILL REMAIN JUST
OFFSHORE. HOWEVER...STILL THINKING THAT SOUTHEAST MASS...ESPECIALLY
THE CAPE AND ISLANDS...ARE NOT OUT OF THE WOODS YET. IT COULD GET
QUITE NASTY TONIGHT AS THIS THING WINDS UP. THINKING THAT RAIN WILL
TURN OVER TO SNOW THIS EVENING...AND QUITE QUICKLY...AS BOMBOGENESIS
TAKES PLACE. A WIND ADVISORY MAY BE NEEDED FOR THE CAPE AND ISLAND
TONIGHT AS WELL.

AS FOR ACCUMS...HAVE PLAYED THEM CONSERVATIVELY ATTM AS BOUNDARY
LAYER TEMPS/WET BULBS ARE GOING TO BE A PROBLEM THIS AFTERNOON AND
EARLY THIS EVENING FOR MOST LOCATIONS. BY THE TIME THE PRECIP
CHANGES TO ALL SNOW...THERE MIGHT NOT BE A LOT OF QPF LEFT IN THE
SYSTEM. THEREFORE HAVE GONE WITH 1-2/LOCALLY 3 FOR A GOOD PORTION
OF THE CWA...MAINLY SOUTHWEST OF A PROVINCETOWN MASS - KEENE NH
LINE. TO THE NORTHEAST OF THERE...IT MAY BE HARD TO GET STEADY
PRECIP IN. HIGHER ELEVATIONS...I.E...ABOVE 500 FT COULD SEE ADVISORY
CRITERIA...ESP THE EAST SLOPES OF THE BERKS. WILL LET DAYSHIFT
REASSESS.

THE WILDCARD HERE COULD BE SOUTHEAST MASS/CAPE/ISLANDS AS COMMA HEAD
GETS GOING TONIGHT. WHILE IT WILL BE WARM AT THE START...COMMA HEAD
DYNAMICS WILL CHANGE THE PRECIP OVER TO SNOW. IF IT CAN COOL OFF
FAST ENOUGH...THERE WOULD BE THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERAL INCHES OF
SNOW WITH VERY GUSTY WINDS. DAYSHIFT WILL HAVE TO KEEP A CLOSE EYE
ON THIS AS THERE COULD BE A WINDSWEPT PLASTERING WET SNOW IN THESE
AREAS.

A WIND ADVISORY MAY BE NEEDED FOR THE CAPE AND ISLANDS TONIGHT AS
GRADIENT INCREASES MARKEDLY...ALONG WITH PRESSURE RISES. COULD SEE A
BRIEF PERIOD OF GUSTS OF 40 TO 45 KNOTS.

WILL CONTINUE TO SPS/HWO MENTION.

LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
FRI...STRONG WINDY CAA IN THE WAKE OF THE DEPARTING BOMB AND BIG
SHORT WAVE ROTATING SWWD-SWD FM THE MARITIMES.  GFS MOS TEMPS
LOWERED SLIGHTLY IN DEFERENCE TO THE UK/GFS/NAM MODEL 1000MB TEMPS.
TEMPS STEADILY FALLING THRU THE DAYLIGHT HOURS

HOPE THE ICE FROM THE VALENTINES DAY 07 STORM AND WHATEVER LEFTOVER
SLUSH WE HAVE TONIGHT HAS BEEN REMOVED.

SAT...STATUS QUO ON WINDY BELOW NORMAL COLD THAT HAS BEEN COMMON
THIS FEBRUARY. OUR FCST GRIDS HAVE 0 TO -12 WCI FOR 2 HRS ARD 11Z
SAT MORNING.

SUN...HERE IS WHERE THE 00Z/22 INTERNATIONAL OP MODEL SUITE START
SEPARATING WITH THE UK DRY...EC/GFS/GGEM SENDING SNOW OUR WAY EITHER
LATE IN THE DAY OR AT NIGHT.  NOTE...WE DONT HAVE MUCH ICE IN THE
FCST ANYMORE.  THE MODEST UPPER LVL HIGH LAT BLOCK HAS SHIFTED INTO E
CENTRAL CANADA AND THAT SHOULD HELP DEFLECT STORMS FURTHER S. THE
MONDAY MORNING EVENT IS DEFINITELY LOOKING COLDER AND COLDER. COULD
SEE EVEN FURTHER S TRACK.  DECENT FGEN FOR THIS FAR IN ADVANCE AND
EVEN SOME -EPV SUPPORTS A DECENT IB.

MON...SIMILAR TO SUNDAY ON THE MODEL SUITE SPLIT. PATTERN OFFERED BY
GGEM/GFS/ECMWF SUGGESTED RAISING POPS AND LOOKING FOR INTMT SNOW TO
CONTINUE.  THIS EVENT SHOULD GIVE US A MEAN W.E. QPF OF .2 TO .6.
IF ALL SNOW...LIGHT TO MDT EVENT.  TEMPS WERE LOWERED FM THE PRIOR
PACKAGE DUE TO TYPICALLY COLD AIR DAMMING SITN FOR SNE AND TUCKING
THE BL COLD INTO SNE.

TUE INTO EARLY WED...GGEM/ECMWF AT ODDS WITH GFS... LEANED TO THE
FORMER AS GFS ENS HAVE AT TIMES HAD POPS FOR TUE/WED.  OBVIOUSLY
DOUBT ON PCPN BUT LITTLE DOUBT IT WILL BE SEASONABLY COLD AND TEMPS
WERE LOWERED FM PRIOR PKG.

AVIATION...

VFR CONDS WILL GIVE WAY TO MVFR CIGS AND VSBYS BY LATE
AFTERNOON...ESPECIALLY FROM ORH TO BDL. MVFR TO IFR CONDS TONIGHT
FOR ALL TERMINALS. BOS AND MHT MAY STAY MVFR AS BULK OF
PRECIPITATION STAYS TO THE WEST. AS FAR AS PRECIP GOES...LIGHT RAIN
POSSIBLY MIXED WITH LIGHT SNOW WILL DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON WEST OF
INTERSTATE 495...THEN PROGRESS EASTWARD DURING THE EARLY EVENING
WHILE CHANGING TO SNOW WITH VSBYS LOCALLY LESS THAN 1/2SM.

MARINE...

SHORT WAVE MAKING ITS WAY SOUTHEASTWARD ACROSS THE UPPER LAKES
EARLY THURSDAY MORNING WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE TOWARD THE NYC METRO
AREA AND SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND TODAY. WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS THAT
THIS SHORT WAVE IS QUITE INTENSE AND WELL-DEVELOPED. OCNL LIGHTNING
STRIKES HAVE BEEN ASSOCIATED WITH THIS FEATURE AS WELL. AS THE SHORT
MOVES ITS WAY TOWARD THE COAST THIS AFTERNOON...SECONDARY LOW
PRESSURE WILL BEGIN TO FORM OFF THE JERSEY SHORE LATE. THIS
SECONDARY LOW WILL INTENSIFY RAPIDLY AS IT MOVES SOUTHEAST OF
NANTUCKET OVERNIGHT. HAVE HOISTED GALES FOR ALL WATERS EXCEPT
NORTHERNMOST MARINE ZONES AS WELL AS BOSTON HARBOR AND NARR BAY.
GALES START AROUND MIDNIGHT TONIGHT AND LAST THROUGH LATE FRIDAY
MORNING. SEAS WILL BUILD RAPIDLY ACRS THE OUTER WATERS...PERHAPS
ABOVE 10 FEET FOR A BRIEF PERIOD OF TIME. MINOR SPLASHOVER WILL BE
POSSIBLE ON CAPE COD AND ACK NEAR THE TIME OF HIGH TIDE DAYBREAK
FRIDAY.

LONG TERM...SCA CONDS CONT IN PTNS OF THE OUTER WATERS INTO EARLY
SUN AND FREEZING SPRAY IS A RISK THROUGH SATURDAY.  NEXT CHANCE OF A
GALE IS SUN NIGHT OR MONDAY.

NORTHEAST MASSACHUSETTS...SOUTHEAST MASSACHUSETTS...WESTERN
MASSACHUSETTS...SOUTHERN NEW HAMPSHIRE...CENTRAL RHODE ISLAND...
NORTHERN RHODE ISLAND AND SOUTHERN RHODE ISLAND.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT
RAIN POSSIBLY MIXED WITH WET SNOW WILL DEVELOP IN CONNECTICUT...
WESTERN MASSACHUSETTS AND RHODE ISLAND THIS AFTERNOON SPREADING INTO
THE REMAINDER OF THE REGION FOR A TIME DURING TONIGHT. PRECIPITATION
WILL PROBABLY TURN TO ALL SNOW BEFORE ENDING.

WHILE ADVISORIES HAVE NOT BEEN ISSUED...THIS MIXED WINTER WEATHER
EVENT SHOULD NEED ROAD TREATMENTS AND POSSIBLY PLOWING OVER THE
HIGHER ELEVATIONS FROM WESTERN AND CENTRAL MASSACHUSETTS SOUTHWARD
INTO CONNECTICUT...RHODE ISLAND AND POSSIBLY SOUTHEAST MASSACHUSETTS.

SNOW MAY FALL HEAVILY FOR AN HOUR FROM THE EAST SLOPES OF THE
BERKSHIRES DOWN INTO CONNECTICUT...RHODE ISLAND AND SOUTH COASTAL
MASSACHUSETTS LATE TODAY OR EARLY TONIGHT.

MOST OF THE ACCUMULATION ON ROADS SHOULD OCCUR IN HIGHER TERRAIN AND
IF SNOW WERE TO ACCUMULATE IN PAVEMENT IN THE VALLEYS AND THE COASTAL
PLAIN...THAT MIGHT NOT OCCUR UNTIL THE VERY END OF THE STORM DURING
THE NIGHT TIME HOURS.

COLDER AIR WILL ARRIVE TOWARD DAWN FRIDAY...TURNING MARGINALLY
FREEZING SLUSH INTO A HARDER TO REMOVE ICY SNOW PACK AT DAWN.

RIGHT NOW... THE FORECAST IS FOR 1 TO 3 INCHES OF SNOW...MOST OF THE
HEAVIER AMOUNTS SHOULD OCCUR MAINLY OVER THE HIGH TERRAIN...IN
PARTICULAR WESTERN HAMPDEN AND WESTERN HAMPSHIRE COUNTIES OF
MASSACHUSETTS. IF THERE IS ONLY AN HOUR OF RAIN BEFORE THE CHANGE TO
SNOW...AMOUNTS WOULD LIKELY BE HIGHER THAN CURRENTLY FORECAST.

THE EVENING COMMUTE IN RHODE ISLAND AND THE CONNECTICUT RIVER VALLEY
TO THE WORCESTER HILLS MAY BE ADVERSELY IMPACTED.

A GALE IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP NEAR CAPE COD AROUND MIDNIGHT.

MINOR SPLASHOVER IS POSSIBLE IN THE TYPICALLY VULNERABLE SPOTS FOR
NORTHERLY WINDS ON CAPE COD AND NANTUCKET ABOUT THE TIME OF DAYBREAK
FRIDAY HIGH TIDE.

A WIND ADVISORY MAY BE NEEDED FOR NANTUCKET...AND CAPE COD NEAR DAWN

DEVELOPING. THE FREEZING SPRAY WILL CONTINUE INTO AT LEAST MIDDAY
SATURDAY.

ZERO TO 12 BELOW ZERO WIND CHILL IS FORECAST NEAR DAWN SATURDAY OVER
MOST OF SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND.

THEREAFTER...LATE SUNDAY OR MORE LIKELY MONDAY...SNOW DEVELOPS AND
THE SNOW MAY CONTINUE INTERMITTENTLY INTO MIDWEEK OVER PORTIONS OF
THE AREA.

LIGHT TO MODERATE AMOUNTS ARE OUTLOOKED EARLY NEXT WEEK AND ODDS
FAVOR THE NEED FOR ROAD TREATMENTS BY DAWN MONDAY AND THEN POSSIBLY
AGAIN TUESDAY.
