730 AM EST THU DEC 20 2007

.SYNOPSIS...
INTENSIFYING LOW PRES ABOUT 80 NM E OF NANTUCKET EARLY THIS MORNING
WILL BECOME A GALE CENTER LATER TODAY. COLDER WEATHER WILL FOLLOW
FRI AND SAT AS STRONG HIGH PRES OVER QUEBEC BUILDS INTO NEW ENGLAND.
A STRONG COLD FRONT LATE THIS WEEKEND IS PRECEDED BY A PERIOD OF
MILD WIND DRIVEN...AND POSSIBLY HEAVY SHOWERS. THE COLD FRONT MOVES
OFFSHORE SUN NIGHT WITH A RETURN TO DRY BUT COLDER WEATHER NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 7 PM THIS EVENING/...
***WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY CONTINUES FOR SNOWFALL AND SOME FREEZING
RAIN ACROSS NE MA AND S CENTRAL NH***

WSW UPDATED AT 723 AM. PRODUCT AMT INCREASES WILL FOLLOW BY 830 AM. I
THINK WE COULD SEE ISOLATED 9 INCH AMOUNTS SOMEWHERE BTWN ASH-LWM-BVY.
4.8 AT ASH NOW. I HAVE TO UPGRADE AND WILL DO SO IN THE NEXT 45 MINUTES.

PNSS POSTING SWIFTLY NOW. 0.2 AT THE OFFICE HERE AT 655AM IN LAST
HALF HOUR SOME BIG FLAKE SNOW SHOWERS.

VERY GOOD DENDRITIC GROWTH CONTS FOR THE 15Z-19Z TIME FRAME TODAY IN
THE BOS NORTH SHORE AREA TO NR MHT. AM STILL ON THE EDGE FOR AN
UPGRADE TO A WINTER STORM WARNING MHT-ASH- ESSEX COUNTY
REGION...HOLDING OFF FOR NOW. WD 539A

A FEW SMALL BUT SOMEWHAT SIGNIFICANT FEATURES HAVE DEVELOPED DURING
THE EARLY MORNING HOURS. FIRST...NOTED THAT BOTH KLWM AND KBVY WERE
REPORTING FREEZING RAIN THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT. FELT THIS WAS A
PROBLEM WITH THE SENSORS...UNTIL A CONF CALL WITH WFO GYX. THEY
NOTED ON A SPECIAL 06Z SOUNDING THEY DID THAT THERE WAS A STRONG
INVERSION /FROM AROUND -9C JUST OFF THE GROUND TO AROUND 0C AT ABOUT
930 HPA/...LIKELY DUE TO THE DEVELOPING COASTAL FRONT AND
OVERRUNNING WORKING OVER THAT. BASED ON THIS...WILL BE ISSUING A
WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FOR SNOW AND FREEZING RAIN FOR EASTERN ESSEX
COUNTY THROUGH AROUND 10 AM.

APPEARS THAT MOST OF FIRST BATCH OF PRECIP MOVING ACROSS EASTERN
MASS INTO SE AND S CENTRAL NH THIS MORNING. HOWEVER...NOTING ANOTHER
BATCH OF PRECIP WORKING ACROSS NEW YORK STATE ASSOCIATED WITH UPPER
LEVEL SYSTEM AND WEAKENING FIRST SURFACE LOW. ONCE THE INVERTED
TROUGH BECOMES ESTABLISHED LATER THIS MORNING...THIS MOISTURE WILL
MERGE WITH ONSHORE FLOW TO DEVELOP HEAVIER PRECIP ACROSS EASTERN AND
NORTHERN AREAS. GOOD MOISTURE CONVERGENCE COMING INTO PLACE...SO
FEEL THAT THE HEAVIEST PRECIP WILL STILL OCCUR OVER SOUTH CENTRAL
NEW HAMPSHIRE INTO NORTHEASTERN MASS THROUGH TODAY. WILL KEEP WINTER
WEATHER ADVISORY IN PLACE THROUGH THE DAY FOR INTERIOR ESSEX...
NORTHERN MIDDLESEX AND HILLSBOROUGH COUNTIES.  WILL NEED TO MONITOR
THIS CLOSELY THOUGH.

THANKS TO OUR SPOTTERS FOR THEIR EARLY MORNING WEB ENTRIES ON OUR
WEBSITE AS WELL AS EASTERN US WEATHER FORUM PARTICIPANTS FOR POSTING
SNOWFALL AMOUNTS AND CHANGING TYPES OF PRECIP /NOTED SOME SLEET THAT
FELL ACROSS SOME OF THE ADVISORY AREA EARLIER THIS MORNING/. HAVE
RECEIVED REPORTS OF 1.5 TO 2.3 INCHES SO FAR.  AT 430 AM...REPORT OF
3.8 AT MERRIMACK NH.

88D RADAR STARTING TO SHOW SOME POSSIBLE BRIGHT BANDING S OF
BOSTON...WHICH COULD BE INDICATOR OF CHANGE LINE. NOTED THAT KBOS
REPORTED -RASN ON 08Z OBSERVATION. SINCE 4 AM...HAVE ALSO NOTED THAT
WHAT APPEARS TO BE INCREASING REFLECTIVITIES FROM NEAR BOSTON ALONG
I-93 TO MANCHESTER. THE REPORT FROM MERRIMACK NOTED THAT THE
OBSERVER RECEIVED 1.5 IN 2 HOURS WITH MODERATE TO HEAVY SNOW.

SHORT RANGE MODELS IN GOOD AGREEMENT AGAIN THIS MORNING...BUT FEEL
THAT THE GFS HAS A GOOD HANDLE ON DEVELOPING INVERTED TROUGH AND ITS
POTENTIAL OF DEVELOPING GOOD AMOUNTS OF QPF. ALSO NOTED GOOD
DENDRITIC GROWTH LATER THIS MORNING INTO THE AFTERNOON AS THE TROUGH
DEVELOPS. ALSO NOTE THAT THE COLDER AIR WILL SWEEP SOUTHWARD...WHICH
WILL HELP IN DEVELOPING A POSSIBLE BURST OF SNOW OVER NORTHERN AND
EASTERN AREAS AS DENDRITIC GROWTH GETS GOING.

HAVE KEPT HIGHEST POPS OVER EASTERN MASSACHUSETTS INTO SOUTHERN NEW
HAMPSHIRE. EXPECT PRECIP AREA TO INCREASE IN COVERAGE AND SLIP DOWN
THE COAST. THIS...ALONG WITH COLDER AIR WORKING INTO THE REGION ON N
WINDS...SO SHOULD SEE PRECIP CHANGING OVER TO SNOW DURING THE
AFTERNOON ACROSS MOST AREAS EXCEPT ALONG THE SOUTH COAST...CAPE AND
ISLANDS.

QUESTION AT THIS POINT WILL BE IF HIGHER QPF DEVELOPS WITH THIS
TROUGH AND HOW FAR DOWN THE COAST THIS WILL WORK. AT THIS POINT...
WILL CARRY 1-3 SNOW AS FAR S AS BOSTON AND THE ROUTE 128
BELT...WITH AMOUNTS OF 3-6 OVER THE ADVISORY AREA. THIS WILL
CONTINUE INTO THIS EVENING.

&&

.SHORT TERM /7 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 AM FRIDAY/...
CONTINUE TO SEE GOOD DYNAMICS IN PLACE ACROSS EASTERN AREAS EARLY
TONIGHT...SO WILL SEE SNOW CONTINUING. MODELS BEGIN TO BREAK DOWN
THE INVERTED TROUGH LATER TONIGHT...SO COULD SEE PRECIP BECOMING
MORE SPORADIC. ONLY CARRIED CHANCE POPS FOR NOW...BUT WOULD NOT BE
SURPRISED TO INCREASE POPS ESPECIALLY THROUGH MIDNIGHT DEPENDING
UPON WHETHER THE MOISTURE CONVERGENCE REMAINS IN PLACE OR SHIFTS
EAST.

HIGH PRESSURE BEGINS TO BUILD S OUT OF QUEBEC AFTER MIDNIGHT...
WHICH SHOULD HELP BEGIN TO BREAK DOWN THE TROUGH. ALSO EXPECT
CLOUDS TO BEGIN BREAKING UP FROM THE NORTH AS THE HIGH BUILDS IN.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
KEEPING THIS SHORT SO WE CAN STAY FOCUSED ON CURRENT EVENTS.

FRIDAY AND SATURDAY...MINOR COASTAL FLOODING TIME OF HIGH TIDE E MASS
