.SHORT TERM /7 AM MONDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM MONDAY/...
LOW PRESSURE EXPECTED TO TRACK FROM MID ATLANTIC REGION TONIGHT TO
GULF OF MAINE TOMORROW MORNING.  ONLY SUBTLE DIFFERENCES IN 12Z
MODELS FOR SURFACE LOW...TRACKING EITHER OVER OR JUST INSIDE OF
BENCHMARK.

PROBLEMS FOR FORECAST INCLUDE HOW MUCH RAIN/MIX WILL FALL AS OPPOSED
TO SNOW...AND WHERE ANY SNOW BANDING MAY OCCUR.  MISSING STRONG
SURFACE HIGH TO THE NORTH TO HELP KEEP COLDER AIR LOCKED IN.

PRECIP SPREADS INTO THE AREA THIS EVENING. BULK OF SNOW BETWEEN 6
AND 12Z...WITH HEAVIER SNOW HANGING ON IN SOUTHERN NH/NORTHEAST MA
THROUGH 14Z. 250 MB COUPLED JET AND PVA CONTRIBUTING TO MODERATE TO
STRONG OMEGA. SOME DYNAMIC COOLING SHOULD OCCUR WITH THESE
FEATURES.  MODELS APPEAR TO HAVE SHIFTED POTENTIAL FOR BANDING
SLIGHTLY NW...WITH MID LEVEL FRONTOGENESIS AND EPV MORE FROM BAF
THROUGH SOUTHERN NH...LASTING A BIT BEYOND 12Z IN SOUTHERN
NH/NORTHEAST MA. IN THIS AREA...SNOWFALL ACCUMULATIONS LOOK ON
TRACK.

FOR PRECIP TYPE UTILIZED A BLEND OF THERMAL PROFILES FROM GFS AND
NAM. HIGHEST CONFIDENCE OF A SNOW WITH SOME SLEET EVENT WOULD BE
FROM BAF TO ORH INTO SOUTHERN NH AND NW. FROM PVD TO PYM AREA AND
SOUTH...EXPECT A MIX OF SNOW...SLEET AND RAIN OVERNIGHT. TRIMMING
BACK TO 2 TO 4 INCHES IN THIS AREA...CONTINUING WITH A WINTER
WEATHER ADVISORY. FROM NW RI THROUGH NORTHEAST COASTAL MA INCLUDING
BOSTON...UNCERTAINTY IN PRECIP TYPE THROUGH THE NIGHT WITH THERMAL
PROFILE MARGINAL...THERE IS A CHANCE FOR MORE OF A MIX
SNOW/RAIN/SLEET...BUT NOT ENOUGH CONFIDENCE IN THIS TO DOWNGRADE ANY
WARNINGS AS POSTED. IN ADDITION...18Z NAM HAS TRENDED A BIT COLDER.

LITTLE OR NO ACCUMULATION ON CAPE COD AND THE ISLANDS.

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
EFFORTS PRIMARILY ON TUE-WED-THU WITH PRIMARILY PREV KBOX WARMING
TREND FCST FOR THE WKND. MAVMOS GUIDE LOOKED WAYYYY TOO COLD LATE IN
THE WEEKEND ESPECIALLY WHEN COMPARED TO THE GFS ENSEMBLES AND THE OP
RUNS OF THE UKMET AND ECMWF.

THE DAILIES...

MON NIGHT...A BRIEF DRY SPELL WITH TEMPORARY PARTIAL CLEARING BEFORE
THE NEXT STORM ARRIVES. IT MAY RADIATE OVER THE FRESHLY SNOW COVERED
COUNTRYSIDE MORE THAN CURRENTLY FCST...BDL-ORH-BED-BY NORTHWESTWARD.

TUE INTO WED...4 TH PERIOD WINTER STORM WATCH ISSUED.

18Z NAM FOR TUE-WED NOT LIKELY TO WORK OUT...BUT ENOUGH INFORMATION
AVAILABLE TO SUGGEST ANOTHER POTENT DELIVERY OF SNOW IN A 12 HOUR
PERIOD. BACKLASH IS NOT YET ACCOUNTED FOR...BECAUSE BACKLASH MAY NOT
OCCUR IF THE UPPER LOW DOES NOT CLOSE OFF NEAR THE LATITUDE OF THE
MASS PIKE. PLENTY OF TIME FOR ADJUSTMENTS. SYSTEM LOOKS POTENT BUT
SOME OF THE POTENCY MIGHT NOT BE REALIZED IF WE DO NOT CLOSE OFF A
LOW ALOFT.

BANDING SIGNAL TUESDAY IN THE LEAD PUSH WITH GOOD DENDRITIC GROWTH.

PRIMARY THREAT REGION OF WARNING SNOW IS ROUTE 2 REGION NORTH. DETAIL
LONG FROM BEING DETERMINED AND THIS WATCH COULD CONVERT JUST TO AN
ADVY. AM MOST CONFIDENT OF WARNING AMOUNTS IN S NH.

A CONCERN IS WELL RESTED RESOURCE ALLOCATION TO HANDLE THESE TWO
PROBABLE MODERATE EVENTS THAT HAVE BRIEF INTENSE SNOWFALL EMBEDDED.

ADDITIONALLY... FALLING TEMPS INTO THE TEENS WED AFTERNOON WITH NW
WINDS GUSTING TO 35 MPH WILL RESULT IN BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW.

THIS IS ONLY A -1SD 850MB AIRMASS COMING DOWN. WE MAY SEE A LOT
COLDER THAN THIS LATER IN THE WINTER. NEVERTHELESS...IT WILL BE VERY
COLD LATE WED ONWARD

FORESEE SIGNIF TRAVEL DELAYS IN S NH AND EXTREME NORTH 10 PCT OF
MASSACHUSETTS TUE FORENOON INTO WED MORNING INCLUDING AIR AND SFC
TRAVEL.

WED NIGHT THROUGH THU NIGHT...COLD BLAST WILL BE IN PLACE. EXCT
NORTHERLY DELIVERY OF COLD BL TEMPS... OFF FRESH SNOWCOVER. THURSDAY
DAYLIGHT HOURS MAY STILL BE COLDER THAN CURRENTLY FCST.

SCT SNOW SHOWERS EXPECTED ERN WATERS ONTO THE OUTER CAPE. WELL DEAL
WITH THAT AFTER WHATEVER HAPPENS TUESDAY.

FRI AFTERNOON AND THE WEEKEND...STRONG HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE REGION
ON FRI WILL MOVE OFF THE COAST SAT AND PARK IN THE W CENTRAL ATLC. A
SIGNIFICANT WARM-UP. TREND IS FCST...DETAILS LEFT TO BE DETERMINED.
PROBABLY A DRY WARMUP...AT LEAST FROM A CURSORY REVIEW OF MODEL
GUIDANCE.

ISLANDS...CONDITIONS WILL QUICKLY LOWER TO IFR AS SNOW /RAPL PVD AND
