.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 2 AM THURSDAY MORNING/...
UPDATED THE WX GRIDS TONIGHT N CT W 2/3RDS MA AND SW NH WHERE I HAD
NO POP FM MY 330PM FCST. THAT WAS MY BAD FCST FROM COUNTING FAR TOO
MUCH ON THE 09Z 3HR SREF POPS FOR .01 AND THE 12Z GFS BEING DRY. THE
NAM IS STELLAR ON THIS BAND SHOWING A CLEAR BANDING SIGNAL RIGHT NOW
WHERE THE RAIN/ICE AND SNOW IS NOW CROSSING THE W NEW ENGLAND BORDER.
FIXING THIS FCST PBLM NOW WITH ALREADY UPDATED ZONES/PFM/AFM/GRIDS.
DROPPED THE S NH AND NW MA WARNING/ADVY BUT A NEW WXA MAY NEED TO BE
ISSUED AT 930PM FOR THE CT RVR VALLEY REGION. WILL UPDATE WSW AND HWO
SHORTLY.
RECORD RAINS OCCURRED TODAY AT BOSTON.
NOT A RECORD AT BDL... WE FOUND MIXED INFORMATION AND FINALLY CHECKED
AND BELIEVE 3.88 INCHES FELL AT THE HFD CLIMATE SITE ON FEB 13TH
1988. WE APOLOGIZE.
THE 2ND HIGHEST HFD CALENDER DAY AMOUNT IN FEBRUARY WAS 3.04 ON FEB
25TH 1916 AND TODAYS AMOUNT WAS THIRD HIGHEST AT HFD-BDL.
FINE LINE PASSAGE ENDS RISK OF WIND ADVY CRITERIA. ONLY CC AND
ISLANDS. ACK JUST HAD 36KT G46KT AT 649PM
SKYWARN AT IS CLOSING UP IN THE OFFICE BY 8P.
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.
RUNOFF FROM THE 3+ RFALL IS DONE AND URBAN FLOODING RISK WILL
DIMINISH RAPIDLY BY 9 PM. NOW WE TURN TO RIVER FLOOD POTENTIAL AS
WRITTEN IN THE FLOOD STATEMENT. MAX RFALL SO FAR 3.8 WORTHINGTON MA.
FLW AND RVD UPDATED AGAIN JUST BEFORE 7 PM.

.SHORT TERM /2 AM THURSDAY MORNING 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
FREEZING RAIN-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. MEMA
BRIEFED AS A HEADS UP TO MAKE SURE ATTN IS DRAWN TO A POTENTIAL ICY
COMMUTE PBLM THU.
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 NEXT 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.
