LOW DEVELOPING OFF MID ATLC COAST WILL TRACK WELL SE OF NANTUCKET
THU MORNING. WEAK HIGH PRESSURE MOVES ACROSS THE REGION LATE THU AND
THU EVENING. LOW PRESSURE MOVING THROUGH THE ST LAWRENCE VALLEY WILL
SWING A COLD FRONT THROUGH NEW ENGLAND LATE FRI. MUCH COLDER AIR ON
WILL FOLLOW FRI NIGHT THROUGH SAT NIGHT AS STRONG HIGH PRESSURE
BUILDS INTO THE REGION. ANOTHER SIGNIFICANT LOW PRESSURE MAY BRING
HEAVY RAIN SUN NIGHT AND MON WHICH MAY BEGIN AS A PERIOD OF SNOW AND
ICE IN THE INTERIOR. COLDER UNSTABLE AIR MOVES IN FOR TUESDAY WITH
WEAK HIGH PRESSURE ON WEDNESDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL MIDNIGHT TONIGHT/...
RECORD RAINS OCCURRED TODAY AT BDL AND BOSTON.

SKYWARN IS HERE IN THE OFFICE.

ICESTORM ..POCKEST IN THE MONADNOCKS. ZR ADVY IN MHT AREA FOR TAIL
END ICING POSSIBLE THIS EVE.

MAIN BRUNT OF THE SNOW AND ICE WAS DONE AT NOON.  COMBINED SNOW AND
ICE MADE NUMEROUS POWER OUTAGES NR I91-CT RVR VALLEY AND WEVE HEARD
OF ROOF FAILURES IN NH.

SEE HYDRO SECTION...FLSS/FFW ETC AS POSTED. FFA SHORTENED TO 9PM. BY
THEN THE BAND OF R+ IS DONE AND URBAN FLOODING IS COMPLTED. THEN WE
TURN TO RIVER FLOOD POTENTIAL AS WRITTEN IN THE FLOOD STATEMENT.

A WIND ADVISORY CONTINUES FOR NANTUCKET AND CAPE COD TODAY. 40-45 KT
GUSTS ARE POSSIBLE MAINLY LATE THIS AFTERNOON AHEAD OF THE DEVELOPING
LOW. WE SAW G46KT AT MQE 1703Z WHILE BOS WAS CALM./ THATS ABOUT 650
FT OF HUGE WIND SHEAR IN THE VCNTY OF BOS AT 17Z. UNCONFIRMED REPORT
OF WIND ADVY CRITERIA SE PYM COUNTY BUT ASOS MAXD AT 38KTS AN HOUR
AFTER THE REPORT.

AN ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM IS NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION ALONG THE SOUTH
COAST AND ACROSS THE CAPE AND ISLANDS BETWEEN NOW AND 01Z TODAY.

&&

.SHORT TERM /MIDNIGHT THROUGH 6 PM THURSDAY/...
THU MORNING... CAN SEE A NEED OF A WXA FOR SE MA AND RI BTWN 09Z-14Z
THU AS FRINGE BANDING OF THE VA CAPES LOW GRAZES SE NEW ENGLAND
WHILE STG BL CAA OCCURS. THIS COULD BE 0.1 WATER EQUIV MIXED PCPN
COMBINED SLEET/SNOW AND WITH TEMPS FALLING WELL BLO FREEZING AT
DAYBREAK /SEE NYS NOW FOR THE COLD SOURCE/. UK HAS IT WELL DEFINED AS
DOES THE OP GFS AND ACTUALLY THE GFS ENS AND SREF ENS HINT AT THIS.

THIS COULD MEAN A VERY SLOW MORNING COMMUTE VCNTY PVD-PYM-EWB.

THU AFTN...TEMP FCST MAY BE 3F TOO WARM. BLO AVG CONFIDENCE ON THE
CURRENT FCST TEMPS THU AFTN. THINK RUNNING IT 2-3F COLDER IS THE WAY
TO MOVE ON THE ENXT FCST.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
SFC RIDGE QUICKLY MOVES EAST OF THE REGION THU NIGHT AS NEXT
NORTHERN STREAM CLIPPER SYSTEM MOVES TO THE ST LAWRENCE VALLEY.
ASSOCD COLD FRONT WILL SWING THROUGH THE REGION BY LATE FRI AND HAVE
FOLLOWED FASTER CONSENSUS LED GFS SOLUTION. BEST MOISTURE AND UPPER
LEVEL DYNAMICS WILL BE NORTH OF FA...BUT WE WILL KEEP SLIGHT CHC
POPS IN THE GRIDS FOR FRI/FRI EVENING BASED ON STRENGTH OF FRONT.

EXPECT GUSTY SW WINDS AHEAD OF THE FRONT ON FRI WHICH WILL PUSH
TEMPS INTO UPPER 40S IN THE COASTAL PLAIN...BUT HOLDING IN THE
UPPER 30S NW HIGHER TERRAIN.

GUSTY POST FRONTAL NW WINDS WILL DRIVE MUCH COLDER AIR INTO SNE FRI
NIGHT INTO SAT AS STRONG CAA DROPS 850 MB TEMPS TO NEAR -18.  GFS 2M
TEMPS VERY COLD LATE FRI NIGHT INTO SAT BUT PROBABLY ARE A LITTLE
OVERDONE ON THIS AIRMASS.  HOWEVER...GMOS TEMPS TOO WARM SO WE
BLENDED GFS 2M TEMPS WITH GMOS FOR FRI NIGHT MIN AND SAT MAX.
EXPECTED MINS LATE FRI NIGHT WILL RANGE FROM NEAR ZERO NW HIGHER
TERRAIN TO TEENS S COAST WITH WIND CHILLS SAT MORNING POSSIBLY
APPROACHING -15 FROM BERKSHIRES TO MONADNOCKS AND ZERO TO 5 COASTAL
PLAIN.  MAXES SAT WILL STRUGGLE INTO LOWER TEENS NW ZONES AND
PROBABLY NOT MUCH HIGHER THAN LOW 20S COASTAL PLAIN.  A PERIOD OF
GOOD RADIATIONAL COOLING LIKELY SAT NIGHT AS HIGH BUILDS OVER THE
REGION SO ANOTHER VERY COLD NIGHT EXPECTED SAT NIGHT.  WE HAVE MINS
RANGING FROM NEAR ZERO NW TO TEENS ALONG THE COAST...BUT TEMPS MAY
END UP COLDER.

MODELS ARE IN PRETTY GOOD AGREEMENT REGARDING NEXT STORM FOR SUN
NGT/MON.  PHASING OF NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN STREAM APPEARS LIKELY
RESULTING IN HIGH AMPLITUDE TROF FROM GT LAKES TO GULF COAST ON
MON.  MODELS SHOW SOME DIFFERENCES WITH TRACK AND TIMING BUT ALL
AGREE THAT LOW WILL TRACK TO THE WEST WHICH WILL RESULT IN MOST OF
THE PRECIP FALLING AS RAIN SUN NGT INTO MON.  HOWEVER...RESIDUAL
COLD AIR MAY RESULT IN A PERIOD OF SNOW AND ICE AT THE ONSET IN THE
DISTANT INTERIOR IF THE PRECIP COMES IN EARLY ENOUGH SUN NIGHT.
EXPECT RISING TEMPS OVERNIGHT SUN NGT WITH WARM SECTOR 50S POSSIBLE
ON MON IN THE COASTAL PLAIN.

THIS STORM HAS POTENTIAL TO BE ANOTHER HEAVY RAFL PRODUCER.  GEFS
SHOWING STRONG SOUTHERLY INFLOW OF +3SD COMBINED WITH +4SD PWAT
ANOMALY WHICH IS A STRONG SIGNAL FOR HEAVY RAIN.  1-2 RAFL WITH
LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS SEEMS MORE THAN REASONABLE FOR THIS EVENT AND
CONFIDENCE IS ABOVE AVERAGE GIVEN GFS AND INTERNATIONAL MODELS HAVE
AGREEMENT ON THIS.

RAIN ENDS BY MON NIGHT...THEN COLDER TUE/WED WITH PTCLDY SKIES.

&&

.AVIATION /21Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
TODAY...IFR/LIFR IN RAIN...OCCASIONALLY HEAVY...WITH ISOLATED THUNDER
MAINLY SOUTH COAST AND CAPE COD. LLWS ACK/HYA/PVD/BOS WITH STRONG
SOUTHERLY LOW LEVEL JET. WIND GUSTS TO 40 KT POSSIBLE AT KACK.

ICE FREE WIND SENSOR PBLMS FORCED ADDING NIL AMD TO ORH. WE WILL AMD
ORH AND ANY OTHER NIL AMDS AS TIME AND CONFIDENCE DICTATES.

HEAVIEST RAINFALL WAS CENTERED OVER CT VALLEY REGION LATE THIS
MORNING AND NAM/RUC HAVE A GOOD HANDLE ON IT. BOTH MODELS SHIFT THIS
AXIS INTO RI AND EASTERN MA THIS AFTERNOON...WHERE WE WILL ALSO HAVE
