.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM MONDAY MORNING/...
WE COULD NOT SIT ON THIS WITHOUT A WARNING. WE MAY EVENTUALLY VERIFY
THIS AS A BLIZZARD FOR CAPE COD BUT WONT KNOW TIL MORNING WHEN WE
CAREFULLY LOOK BACK. CERTAINLY NEAR BLIZZARD CONDITIONS AT THIS TIME
AND BIG SNOW GROWTH POSSIBLE IN BANDS THRU 06Z. WHILE CRITERIA AMOUNTS
MAY NOT BE MET IN MUCH OF THE AREA...50 MPH WIND GUSTS AND ADVISORY
SNOW QUALIFY IN MY MIND AS WARNING .. PUBLIC IMPACT.

POSSIBLE ON THE CAPE IN THE EVENING THEN GRADUAL CLEARING...WITH
MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES MON NGT REST OF SNE.

MED RANGE GUIDANCE IN PRETTY GOOD AGREEMENT ON LARGE SCALE PATTERN
IN THE EXTENDED RANGE WITH PERSISTENT WESTERN ATLANTIC RIDGE KEEPING
MAINLY SW FLOW AND NO ARCTIC AIR.  BUT THERE WILL BE ONE POTENTIAL
WINTRY EVENT ON FRI AS STRONG SFC HI TO THE NE TRIES TO LOCK IN COLD
AIR FOR AWHILE.

TUE...WEAK RIDGE QUICKLY MOVES EAST OF SNE WITH OVERUNNING CLOUDS
INCREASING FROM WEST TO EAST.  WE KEPT A DRY FORECAST TUE DESPITE
LOW POPS/QPF FROM GFS AS MAIN FOCUS FOR PRECIP WILL STILL BE TO THE
WEST ASSOCD WITH APPROACHING COLD FRONT.

INCREASING SOUTHERLY LLJ AHEAD OF COLD FRONT WILL BRING A PERIOD OF
SHOWERS TO SNE TUE NIGHT POSSIBLY INTO EARLY WED.  IF THE PRECIP
COMES IN SOON ENOUGH THERE COULD BE A FEW POCKETS OF FZRA IN THE
DISTANT INTERIOR...BUT LOW LEVEL COLD AIR IS LACKING WHICH WILL
LIMIT COVERAGE/DURATION OF ANY FZRA.  TEMPS WILL RISE OVERNIGHT INTO
THE 40S IN THE COASTAL PLAIN AS SOUTHERLY FLOW INCREASES.  IN THE

HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS ACROSS NEW ENG THU THEN SETS UP NE OF THE
REGION THU NIGHT.  THIS WILL BE A STRONG HIGH NEARING 1040 MB WHICH
WILL SET THE STAGE FOR POSSIBLE INTERIOR SNOW/ICE EVENT FRI AS LOW
PRESSURE LIFTS NE FROM OHIO VALLEY.

PARTIAL THICKNESS DATA SUGGESTS THERE MAY BE ENOUGH COLD AIR AT
ONSET FOR PRECIP TO START AS SNOW MOST PLACES FRI MORNING...BUT
QUICKLY CHANGING TO RAIN ALONG THE COAST AS WINDS TURN SE.
HOWEVER...SNOW/ICE MAY PERSIST INTO THE AFTERNOON IN THE DISTANT
INTERIOR BEFORE CHANGING TO RAIN...BUT THE DETAILS ARE UNCERTAIN
THIS FAR OUT.

MAINLY DRY WEATHER EXPECTED NEXT WEEKEND WITH ABOVE NORMAL TEMPS.
