THE WINTER STORM WATCH IS NOW IN EFFECT FROM FRIDAY MORNING
THROUGH SATURDAY MORNING. 

CONFIDENCE IS INCREASING ON THE POTENTIAL FOR SNOW OR SLEET
ACCUMULATIONS OF 6 INCHES OF MORE ACROSS EASTERN MASSACHUSETTS FRIDAY
AND FRIDAY NIGHT.

A DEVELOPING POWERFUL NOREASTER IS EXPECTED TO TRACK NORTH ALONG THE
COAST FRIDAY INTO EARLY SATURDAY. THERE ARE SOME TRENDS THAT THIS
TRACK MAY BE TOO CLOSE TO THE COAST...WHICH WOULD BRING WARMER AIR
OFF THE OCEAN INTO EASTERN MASSACHUSETTS...AND TURN THE SNOW INTO
MORE OF A WINTRY MIX. HOWEVER..THIS MAY NOT OCCUR UNTIL VERY LATE
FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY...SO SEVERAL INCHES OF SNOW MAY HAVE
ALREADY ACCUMULATED. THIS WILL NEED TO BE MONITORED OVER THE NEXT 24
HOURS... AS A SLIGHT CHANGE IN THE TRACK WOULD RESULT IN EITHER A
SNOWIER OR WETTER SOLUTION.

A WINTER STORM WATCH IS ISSUED FOR THE POTENTIAL OF ACCUMULATING
SNOW OF 6 OR MORE INCHES IN A 12 HOUR PERIOD OR 8 OR MORE INCHES
IN A 24 HOUR PERIOD. ANYONE TRAVELING IN THE NEXT 24 TO 36 HOURS
SHOULD MONITOR LATER FORECASTS AND BE PREPARED TO MODIFY TRAVEL

OUTLOOK STATEMENT /REPLACED SPS/ HAS BEEN POSTED...

.SHORT TERM UPDATE...
HAVE GONE AHEAD AND BUMPED UP AFTERNOON HIGH TEMPERATURES TO AROUND
70 IN BOSTON AND THE MERRIMACK RIVER VALLEY.  THESE LOCATIONS ARE
OFTEN THE WARMEST IN THE EARLY SPRING WITH THIS TYPE OF PATTERN AND
WARM SOUTHWEST FLOW.  THIS IS ALSO SUPPORTED BY THE NAM 2 METER
TEMPERATURES.  OTHERWISE...HAVE DELAYED POPS A BIT AS WE ARE NOT
REALLY EXPECTING ANY SHOWERS REACHING THE INTERIOR OF WESTERN MA AND
SOUTHWEST UNTIL WE APPROACH EVENING.

&&

.MARINE UPDATE...
BUFKIT AND MOS SHOWING GOOD MIXING NEAR LAND.  THEREFORE...HAVE GONE
WITH SCA ALL WATERS AS EXPECTING 25 KNOT WIND GUSTS MAINLY NEAR
SHORE.

.SYNOPSIS...
A TASTE OF SPRING WITH 70 DEGREE WARMTH TODAY IS REPLACED BY WINTRY
WEATHER LATE THIS WEEK AS A STRENGTHENING COLD FRONT PASSES THROUGH
SNE THURSDAY MORNING AND THEN WAVES OF LOW PRESSURE MOVE NORTHEAST
ALONG IT FRI INTO SAT...FOLLOWED BY A COLD DRY BREEZY SUNDAY.

PLEASE NOTE: OUR OFFICE WILL NO LONGER ISSUE SPS'S FOR WINTER
OUTLOOKS. WE ASK THAT YOU MONITOR BOSHWOBOX...THE HAZARDOUS WEATHER

.SHORT TERM /TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
4AM DISC BELOW.

SHORT WAVE TROUGH OVER THE OHIO VALLEY WILL CONTINUE TO RIDE
NORTHEASTWARD TODAY...PASSING OVER SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND THIS EVENING
SOUTH OF THE COLD FRONT WHICH WILL BE LOCATED OVER CENTRAL/NRN NEW
ENGLAND. THE SHORT WAVE WILL BE PRECEDED BY A PLUME OF WARM AND
RELATIVELY MOIST AIR...WHICH WILL BE ACCOMPANIED BY NOT-SO MEAGER
MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES ON THE ORDER OF 6C TO 7C/KM.

HAVE INTRODUCED LOW-END LIKELY POPS FOR SHOWERS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS
FEATURE FOR WESTERN ZONES BY MID TO LATE AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING
HOURS. EAST OF THE CT RIVER...WENT WITH A CHANCE OF SHOWERS VERY
LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THE STEEPENING LAPSE RATES IN THE
MID LEVELS COMBINED WITH THE SHORT WAVE DYNAMICS MAY BE ENOUGH TO
ALLOW FOR A ISOLD THUNDERSTORMS TO DVLP LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND
EARLY EVENING. HAVE DECIDED TO COVER THIS POSSIBILITY WITH A SLIGHT
CHANCE OF TSTMS.

OTHERWISE...TODAY LOOKS DRY UNTIL AT LEAST MID AFTERNOON WITH BROKEN
CLOUDS FROM TIME TO TIME WHICH SHOULD ALLOW FOR SOME SUNSHINE AT
TIMES. THIS SHOULD ALLOW TEMPERATURES TO CLIMB WELL INTO THE 60S TO
AROUND 70 TODAY AWAY FROM THE SOUTH COAST/CAPE/ISLANDS. TEMPS THERE
SHOULD STAY IN THE 40S AND LOWER 50S OWING TO THE COLD MARCH OCEAN.

SHORT WAVE DEPARTS TO OUR EAST THIS EVENING. THIS SHOULD ALLOW FOR A
MAINLY DRY NIGHT WITH PERHAPS SOME LIGHT DRIZZLE AND FOG TO BE
FOUND. THE COLD FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO SAG SOUTHWARD OVERNIGHT...
PROBABLY ENDING UP DRAPED ACRS NW ZONES BY EARLY THURSDAY MORNING.
MIN TEMPS SOUTH OF THIS FRONT WILL LIKELY HAVE A HARD TIME DROPPING
BELOW 50 DEGREES...WHICH WILL MAKE FOR A VERY WARM NIGHT. NORTH OF
THE FRONT...SW NH AND NW MASS...TEMPS WILL COME DOWN INTO THE MID
30S TO LOWER 40S AS COLDER AIR BLEEDS IN FROM THE NORTH.

NEXT SHORT WAVE QUICKLY APPROACHES LATER TONIGHT WHICH SHOULD ALLOW
FOR A MORE SUBSTANTIAL AREA OF STRATIFORM RAINFALL TO DEVELOP OVER
EXTREME WESTERN ZONES ALONG THE SAGGING FRONTAL BOUNDARY TOWARD DAWN
THURSDAY. THE RAINFALL WILL SPREAD EASTWARD TO THE REST OF SOUTHERN
NEW ENGLAND THURSDAY MORNING. AT THIS TIME...A HALF INCH TO ONE INCH
OF RAINFALL IS EXPECTED WITH THIS BATCH. WENT WITH CAT POPS ALL
ZONES FOR THURS. AT THIS TIME...SUB-FREEZING AIR BLEEDING IN FROM
THE NORTH DOES NOT LOOK TO MOVE INTO THE CWA FAST ENOUGH TO CAUSE
ANY MIXED PRECIP ISSUES THURS EXCEPT PERHAPS A BRIEF CHANGE TO SNOW
NORTHERNMOST ZONES BEFORE THE PRECIP ENDS LATE IN THE DAY.
&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
2PM UPDATE... NO 12Z EC FOR OUR REVIEW YET.

1040MB HIGH IN SE CANADA AND PROXIMITY OF MOISTURE FOR REPEATED
OVERRUNNNING EPISODES WILL PROBABLY MAKE FOR A SUBSTANTIAL
WINTER STORM WITH GALES/TIDAL SURGE AND A PRDS OF HEAVY SNOW OR
SLEET.

ATTM.

MWS IS POSTED. WINTER STORM WATCH ALL EXCEPT SOUTHEAST COASTAL NEW

AIR CIRCLING SWWD FROM ERN CANADA SHOULD RESULT IN 80 PCT OF THIS
PCPN EVENT BEING SNOW OR ICE WITH ONLY THE LAST 6 HRS TRANSITIONING

BEING CHH TO MVY-BID WHERE COULD BE MOSTLY RAIN?

STORM MAXIMIZES ITS POTENTIAL HERE FRI AND FRI NIGHT.  BIG SNOW
GROWTH IN THE FRI MORNING PULSE FOR A COUPLE OF HRS.

WARNING WITH SNOW/SLEET COMBINED AMTS EXCEEDING 6 INCHES.

A LONG DURATION 2 OR 3 PULSE WINTER WX EVENT HERE WITH POTENTIAL FOR
ROAD CREWS IN ACTION FROM TIME TO TIME FOR A 36 TO 48 HR PERIOD.

COULD STILL BE LULL FRIDAY N OF THE MASS PIKE BUT AM BECOMING
DOUBTFUL.

12Z GFS BUFKIT SNOW TOOL STILL HAS 6-10 INCHES MUCH OF SNE.

FLOODING FM 12HR RAINFALL POSSIBLE FAR SE MASS AND SE RI?

COASTAL FLOOD THREAT WILL BE EVALUATED MORE CAREFULLY ON THURSDAYS

BOTTOM LINE ENJOY TODAYS TASTE OF SPRING /70F+ TEMPS AWAY FROM THE
WATER AND IN LOWER ELEVATIONS/. CONSIDER PREPARING FOR TRAVEL DELAYS
FRI AND/OR SAT FOR A SUBSTANTIAL WINTER EVENT CENTERED 15 HRS EITHER
SIDE OF 5PM FRIDAY.

BEYOND THAT...DRIER AND COLDER WEATHER FOR SUNDAY INTO MONDAY.
ANOTHER LOW PRES SYSTEM MOVING EAST ACROSS CANADA WILL FORCE ITS COLD
FRONT THROUGH OUR REGION TUESDAY.

FCST AFTER 2PM SUNDAY IS PURE HPC GRIDS. NO TIME.  EFFORT INTO FRI-
SAT.

IF BOSTON WERE TO RECEIVE 2.5 INCHES OF SNOW FROM THIS SYSTEM...IT
WOULD NOT SET THE RECORD FOR THE LEAST SNOWIEST CLIMATOLOGICAL
WINTER.

MOISTENING LOW LEVEL AIRMASS SHOULD ALLOW CIGS AND VSBYS TO DROP THIS
EVENING THROUGH TONIGHT. HAVE FORECASTED MAINLY MVFR CONDITIONS
ATTM...BUT COULD SEE IT GOING IFR OR SLIGHTLY LOWER LATE. CONFIDENCE
NOT HIGH ENOUGH TO REFLECT THIS IN THE TAFS ATTM. LLWS WILL ONCE
AGAIN BECOME AN ISSUE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING AS 1-2 KFT WINDS
INCREASE TO BETWEEN 45 AND 60 KT FROM THE SW. THESE WINDS WILL NOT
MAKE IT TO THE SFC. &&

REMAIN AOA 5 FT AND WIND GUSTS REACH 25 KT AT TIMES. WAS NOT
