.SYNOPSIS...
STRONG LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE ACROSS NEW YORK STATE TODAY AND
TONIGHT...THEN NORTH INTO QUEBEC TUE AND WED.  ANOTHER STORM MAY
MOVE TO THE NEW ENGLAND COAST SOMETIME LATE FRI OR SAT.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 10 AM THIS MORNING/...
CLOUDS WILL INCREASE THIS MORNING IN WAA PATTERN AHEAD OF NEXT
STORM.  HOWEVER...IT SHOULD REMAIN DRY THROUGH 10 AM.  PATCHY FOG
POSSIBLE EARLY THIS MORNING IN THE INTERIOR VALLEYS. AFTER A CHILLY
START TEMPS WILL RISE INTO THE 40S THIS MORNING

&&

.SHORT TERM /10 AM THIS MORNING THROUGH 6 AM TUESDAY/...
DYNAMIC PATTERN SETTING UP FOR THIS AFTERNOON INTO EARLY EVENING AS
MID LEVEL TROF MOVES EWD FROM THE OH VLY WITH ASSOCD STRONG STORM
MOVING INTO NEW YORK STATE.  SECONDARY LOW POSSIBLE MID ATLC TO SW
NEW ENG LATE TODAY AND THIS EVENING.

STRONG SOUTHERLY LOW LEVEL JET 60-70 KT WILL BE THE MAIN FORCING
MECHANISM FOR PERIOD OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS...MAINLY THIS
AFTERNOON INTO EARLY EVENING...WITH SHOWERS REACHING CT AND RI COAST
BY EARLY AFTERNOON...THEN SPREADING EWD LATER TODAY AND THIS
EVENING.

STRONG INSTABILITY BURST ON THE NOSE OF THE LLJ WITH GOOD PRES FALLS
AND APPROACHING MID LEVEL SHORTWAVE TROF WILL LIKELY BRING A PERIOD
OF TSTMS WITH GREATEST THREAT EAST OF HFD-ORH-LWM WHERE BEST
INSTABILITY AND LOW LEVEL JET DYNAMICS.

LLJ AND PWATS BOTH +3SD WHICH IS A PRETTY GOOD SIGNAL FOR HEAVY
RAINFALL...WITH AXIS OF MAX RAINFALL OF 1-2 MOST LIKELY SETTING UP
NEAR I95 CORRIDOR.

WARM FRONT WILL LIFT NWD ACROSS S COAST LATE TODAY ALLOWING TEMPS TO
REACH UPPER 50S TO NEAR 60 SOUTHERN RI AND PORTIONS OF SE MA...BUT
COOLER 40S WILL PREVAIL IN THE INTERIOR TO BOS.

STRONG WINDS NEAR THE COAST IS OTHER CONCERN LATER TODAY AND THIS
EVENING AS LLJ PUNCHES INTO REGION OVERLAPPING MILDER SFC TEMPS FOR
BETTER MIXING.  WE WILL ISSUE WIND ADVSY FOR SOUTH COAST AND EAST
COAST SOUTH OF BOS.  A FEW GUSTS TO 50 MPH POSSIBLE WITH SUSTAINED
WINDS NEAR 30 MPH FOR A TIME.  SREF WIND PROBS ALSO TARGET THIS
AREA FOR POTENTIALLY STRONG WINDS.  LLJ AND STRONG WINDS PUSH EWD BY
03Z.

SHOWERS/TSTMS WILL EXIT THE CAPE LATER THIS EVENING AS COLD FRONT
MOVES EWD.  A PERIOD OF DRIZZLE AND FOG ALSO POSSIBLE THIS
EVENING...THEN MAINLY CLOUDY REST OF OVERNIGHT PERIOD WITH A FEW
ADDITIONAL SHOWERS POSSIBLE IN THE INTERIOR AS UPPER LOW TRACKS
ACROSS NEW YORK STATE.

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
MODELS IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT FOR TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY...WITH
LOW PRESSURE CENTER GRADUALLY PUSHING NORTHWARD THROUGH SOUTHERN AND
CENTRAL QUEBEC.

H850 WINDS DO BEGIN TO DIMINISH ON TUESDAY...BUT LOSS OF LOW LEVEL
INVERSION WILL PROMPT BREEZY CONDITIONS. THERE IS A CHANCE OF
REACHING WIND ADVISORY CRITERIA ON CAPE AND ISLANDS..WILL CONTINUE TO
MENTION IN HWO. HIGHER THAN NORMAL TIDES POSSIBLE ON SOUTH COAST
DURING THIS TIME FRAME. MOISTURE WRAPPING AROUND LOW BRINGS THE
CHANCE FOR SHOWERS FOR MUCH OF THE AREA.

BROAD CYCLONIC FLOW CONTINUES FOR WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY.  FORECAST
SOUNDINGS INDICATE DIURNAL CLOUDS FOR BOTH DAYS. SLIGHT CHANCE POPS
PRIMARILY OVER THE INTERIOR.

12Z GFS/00Z ECMWF INDICATE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM INTO THE LOWER OHIO
RIVER VALLEY FRIDAY MORNING. MODELS INCLUDING ENSEMBLES DIVERGE SOME
ON THE TRACK BUT CONSENSUS IS THAT THERE IS A CHANCE FOR RAIN FRI AND
FRI NIGHT IN SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND...LASTING INTO SAT AS LOW PULLS
EAST OF THE COASTAL WATERS.

ANTICIPATE PRIMARILY DRY CONDITIONS ON SUNDAY WITH HIGH PRESSURE
BUILDING EAST...THOUGH IF UPPER LOW LINGERS COULD SEE SOME SHOWERS.

&&

.AVIATION /08Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
VFR LOWERING TO IFR/LIFR IN SHOWERS THIS AFTERNOON WITH TSTMS LIKELY

RESULT IN GREATER CHC FOR GALE FORCE SOUTHERLY GUSTS THIS AFTERNOON
INTO THIS EVENING AS LOW LEVEL JET MOVES ACROSS REGION.  ACROSS
OUTER SOUTHERN WATERS...COOLER TEMPS WILL LIKELY LIMIT GUSTS SO WE

BUILD TO 8 TO 12 FT.
