LOW PRESSURE OVER THE PLAINS MOVES TO THE GREAT LAKES...THEN
REDEVELOPS ALONG THE MID ATLANTIC COAST SUNDAY. THIS WILL BRING
SEVERAL INCHES OF SNOW TO THE INTERIOR AND SNOW CHANGING TO RAIN

H925 LOW LEVEL JET FORECASTED TO BE FURTHER E THAN PREVIOUS RUNS
SUGGESTED...BUT STILL WILL SEE WARMING ESPECIALLY OVER E MA/RI TO
AROUND 40 DEGREES. WILL ALSO SEE TEMPS RISE TO AROUND FREEZING EVEN

THOSE AREAS. STRONGEST LIFT IS STILL FORECAST TO OCCUR DURING THE

EVENING OVER THE E SLOPES OF THE BERKSHIRES.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
21/12Z MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THEIR SYNOPTIC EVOLUTION OF
THE MID LEVEL FLOW THIS WEEK.  THIS GOOD AGREEMENT ALSO EXTENDS TO
THE SURFACE PRESSURE PATTERN.  GIVEN THE TRACK RECORD OF THE ECMWF

UPCOMING WEEK.

A COASTAL LOW PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO DEEPEN RAPIDLY AS IT MOVES
NORTHEAST INTO THE GULF OF MAINE SUNDAY NIGHT...REACHING NOVA SCOTIA

THE END RESULT FOR SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND WILL BE LINGERING SNOW
