DRY AND COLD WEATHER WILL CONTINUE THROUGH SATURDAY.  LOW PRESSURE
DEVELOPING OFF THE COAST ON SUNDAY WILL BRING MAINLY RAIN TO THE
COASTAL PLAIN...BUT THE POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR SEVERAL INCHES OF WET
SNOW ACROSS THE INTERIOR HIGH TERRAIN.  MAINLY DRY AND COLD WEATHER
IS EXPECTED FOR THE START OF THE WORK WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SATURDAY MORNING/...
OVERALL THE FORECAST CONTINUES ON TRACK. LINGERING CLOUDS FROM
WORCESTER AND JAFFREY WEST WITH FLURRIES AT BEST ON KBOX RADAR.
SATELLITE LOOPS SHOW SOME WARMING ON THE CLOUD TOPS...SO WE SHOULD
SEE A DIMINISHING TREND ON CLOUDS OVERNIGHT.

ADJUSTED TEMPS AND DEWPOINTS A LITTLE...TEMPS WERE A TAD TOASTY AND
DEWPOINTS A COUPLE OF DEGREES TOO LOW.

WINDS STILL GUSTING INTO THE 20S ON LAND AND THE 30S AT SEA. WITH THE
CORE OF COLD AIR MOVING OFF TO THE EAST AND WITH THE ISALLOBARIC MAX
ALSO MOVING OFF THROUGH THE GULF OF MAINE...WE SHOULD SEE A
DIMINISHING TREND ON WIND OVERNIGHT. WINDS AT NANTUCKET HAVE
DIMINISHED WELL BELOW ADVISORY LEVEL...THE WIND ADVISORY WILL END.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
SATURDAY...MODEL CONSENSUS PLACES THE UPPER RIDGE OVER US SATURDAY
EVENING. SO WHILE HIGH LEVEL CLOUDS MAY INCREASE LATE IN THE DAY
/CIRRUS/ IT WILL BE A MUCH BRIGHTER DAY WITH WLY FLOW AND NOTICEABLY
LESS CHILL...ESP SINCE LESS WIND THO STILL STILL GUSTY 20-23 KTS.

SAT NIGHT...WAA MAY GENERATE SNOW TOWARD DAWN SUNDAY CT RVR REGION
WEST. CONTD LIKELY POPS FOR 12Z SUNDAY AS PER 4AM FCST...THIS DESPITE
15Z SREF AND 12Z GEFS POPS SAYING DELAY. BOTH 12Z EC/UK HAVE SNOW
INTO W PTN OF THE FA. NOT ONLY THAT BUT THE EC/GFS HAVE NOTICEABLE
850/700MB SSW JETS NJ INTO W NEW ENGLAND-E NYS AT 12Z SUNDAY
SUGGESTING AN INSTABILITY BURST IS IN PROGRESS.

RATHER CUT THE POPS FROM SAT NIGHT...DELAYED SLIGHTLY WITH AN ABRUPT
INCREASE AT DAWN SUNDAY. NEXT MODEL CYCLES MAY ACCELERATE OUTBREAK OF
SNOW.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
SUNDAY...
WEAK LOW PRESSURE TRACKING UP TOWARDS THE GREAT LAKES WILL SPAWN A
SECONDARY COASTAL LOW TO DEVELOP.  THE MAIN FORECAST QUESTION WILL
REVOLVE AROUND WHERE...WHEN...AND HOW FAST THIS SECONDARY COASTAL LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM DEVELOPS.  THE VARIOUS SREFS/GFS ENSEMBLES ALL SHOW
THIS SECONDARY DEVELOPMENT OCCURRING...BUT THEY DIFFER IN
PLACEMENT...SPEED AND INTENSIFICATION.  THIS ALL CAN BE EXPECTED
SINCE WE ARE STILL ABOUT 48 HOURS AWAY FROM THE EVENT.

THEREFORE...THE EXACT DETAILS OF THE FORECAST REMAIN UNCERTAIN AND
ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE.  WE WILL GIVE OUR BEST ESTIMATE OF WHAT WE
THINK WILL HAPPEN BASED ON THE LATEST DETAILS.

CURRENTLY...IT APPEARS THAT MUCH OF THE LOWER ELEVATIONS WILL HAVE
BOUNDARY LAYER ISSUES.  THEREFORE...MUCH OF THE LOWER CONNECTICUT
VALLEY...RHODE ISLAND AND EASTERN MA...AND POSSIBLY EVEN INTO
SOUTHEAST NH WILL LIKELY SEE MAINLY A RAIN EVENT.  NOW THERE PROBABLY
WILL BE SOME SNOW AT THE ONSET WITH A LIGHT ACCUMULATION IN SOME
AREAS.  HOWEVER...SOUTHERLY WINDS IN THE BOUNDARY LAYER WILL LIKELY
RESULT IN A CHANGE TO RAIN.  THERE ALSO COULD A BIT OF SNOW AT THE
END OF THE EVENT.  HOWEVER...THE FURTHER SOUTH AND SLOWER SOLUTIONS
WOULD HAVE TO VERIFY FOR THAT TO OCCUR.

OUR CURRENT FOCUS IS IN THE INTERIOR HIGH TERRAIN...WHERE THE
POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR SEVERAL INCHES OF WET SNOW.  THIS WOULD BE FOR
THE INTERIOR PORTIONS OF NORTHWEST MA/NORTH CENTRAL MA AND
ESPECIALLY INTO SOUTHWEST NH.  IT LOOKS LIKE A HIGH END ADVISORY/LOW
END WARNING TYPE OF EVENT FOR THIS REGION...WITH THE LARGEST AMOUNTS
MOST LIKELY IN THE HIGHER TERRAIN OF CHESHIRE/HILLSBOROUGH COUNTIES
IN SOUTHERN NEW HAMPSHIRE.  SINCE ITS A 4TH PERIOD EVENT AND THERE
IS STILL SOME UNCERTAINTY WILL LEAVE IT TO THE NEXT SHIFT FOR ANY
WINTER STORM WATCH CONSIDERATION.  HOWEVER...BECAUSE THIS WILL BE A
WET SNOW THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR A FEW POWER OUTAGES AND
DOWNED TREE LIMBS IF WE END UP REACHING WARNING CRITERIA.  IF THIS
OCCURS IT WILL NOT EVEN HOLD A CANDLE TO THE ICE STORM BACK IN
DECEMBER...BUT JUST SOMETHING TO KEEP IN MIND WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR
HEAVY WET SNOW.

SUNDAY NIGHT...
SNOW IS POSSIBLE IN THE EVENING ACROSS PORTIONS OF OUR NORTHERN
ZONES AS THE LOW PULLS AWAY.  WE MAY SEE RAIN CHANGE TO A FEW HOURS
OF SNOW ACROSS EASTERN MA...WITH THE BEST CHANCE FOR THAT IN
NORTHEAST MA.  AT THIS POINT IT DOES NOT LOOK SIGNIFICANT BUT WE
CERTAINLY WILL NEED TO KEEP AN EYE ON IT IF INTENSIFICATION OCCURS A
BIT FURTHER SOUTH.

OTHERWISE...LOW PRESSURE DEEPENING OVER THE CANADIAN MARITIMES WILL
BRING IN WINDY AND COLD WEATHER SUNDAY NIGHT.  IN FACT...WE MAY MEET
MARGINAL WIND ADVISORY CRITERIA AT A FEW OF THE TYPICALLY PRONE
LOCATIONS /ESPECIALLY NANTUCKET/...BUT MOST STATIONS WILL LIKELY
REMAIN JUST BELOW CRITERIA.   LOW TEMPERATURES SHOULD FALL INTO THE
MID TO UPPER TEENS ACROSS THE INTERIOR...TO THE LOW TO MID 20S ON
THE COASTAL PLAIN.

MONDAY...
A COLD AND WINDY DAY IS ON TAP FOR SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND.  SKIES
WILL BE PARTLY TO MOSTLY CLOUDY WITH LOTS OF STRATO-CUMULUS CLOUDS.
THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE DAY WILL BE DRY...BUT WILL PROBABLY WILL
FEW PASSING SNOW SHOWER/FLURRIES IN THE INTERIOR WITH THE BEST
CHANCE ACROSS THE EAST SLOPES OF THE BERKSHIRES.  MEX GUIDANCE SEEMS
SEVERAL DEGREES TOO WARM WITH STRONG COLD ADVECTION...A FAIR AMOUNT
OF CLOUD COVER AND 2 METER TEMPERATURES.  HIGHS SHOULD RANGE FROM
AROUND 30 IN THE INTERIOR HIGH TERRAIN...TO THE MID 30S ON THE
COASTAL PLAIN.  IT WILL FEEL COLDER THOUGH WITH 35 TO 40 MPH WIND
GUSTS.  MARGINAL WIND ADVISORY CRITERIA STILL POSSIBLE IN A FEW
TYPICALLY PRONE LOCATIONS...ESPECIALLY NANTUCKET.

TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY...
IT WILL STILL BE CHILLY ON TUESDAY UNDER MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES.  HIGHS
WILL BE MAINLY IN THE 30S AND ALTHOUGH IT STILL WILL BE BREEZY...IT
WONT BE AS WINDY AS MONDAY.  BY WEDNESDAY...WE SHOULD SEE SOME
MODERATION UNDER MOSTLY SKIES AND MUCH LIGHTER WINDS.  HIGHS SHOULD
RECOVER INTO THE UPPER 30S AND LOWER 40S UNDER PARTLY TO MOSTLY
SUNNY SKIES.

THURSDAY AND FRIDAY...
TIMING AND CONFIDENCE IS LOW THIS FAR OUT.  MODELS SHOWING A BIT OF
WARM AIR ADVECTION WHICH MAY LEAD TO A PERIOD OR TWO OF SHOWERY
PRECIPITATION OVER THIS TIME.  PROBABLY MAINLY RAIN ON THE COASTAL
PLAIN WITH MODERATING TEMPERATURES...BUT COULD BE A MIXTURE IN THE
INTERIOR.  AS WE ALL KNOW...DAY 6 AND 7 FORECASTS SOMETIMES CHANGE
DRASTICALLY SO STAY TUNED.  FOR NOW WILL JUST RUN WITH LOW CHANCE
POPS.

&&

.AVIATION /03Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
TONIGHT...VFR DESPITE SCATTERED TO BROKEN STRATO-CUMULUS CLOUDS
ACROSS THE INTERIOR BETWEEN 3 AND 5 THOUSAND FEET...WHICH WILL TEND
TO DIMINISH A BIT OVERNIGHT.  WEST WINDS WILL ALSO DIMINISH SOME
LATER THIS EVENING...BUT STILL EXPECT GUSTS UP TO 25 KNOTS ACROSS
PORTIONS OF THE COAST AND HIGHER TERRAIN WELL INTO THE NIGHT.

SATURDAY...VFR SUNNY WITH W WIND GUST 20-25 KTS.

SAT NIGHT...VFR CIRRUS CIGS TO START MAY BECOME MVFR IN SNOW/SC TWD
SUNRISE SUNDAY...ESPECIALLY IN THE CT RVR VALLEY.

OUTLOOK /SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...

SUNDAY...IFR/MVFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED IN RAIN AND SNOW.  SOME
VLIFR/LIFR CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE ACROSS THE ORH/BAF/MHT TAF IN
SNOW.  IMPROVING CONDITIONS EXPECTED LATE IN THE NIGHT...BUT EXPECT
35 KNOT WESTERLY WIND GUSTS.

MONDAY...MARGINAL MVFR/VFR IN BROKEN DECK OF STRATOCUMULUS CLOUDS.
WESTERLY WIND GUSTS OF 35 KNOTS EXPECTED.

TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY...VFR.

&&

.MARINE...
TONIGHT...GALE GUSTS WILL LINGER THROUGH THE NIGHT...BUT FAVORABLE
CONDITIONS FOR THE STRONG GUSTS ARE NOW MOVING OFF TO THE EAST. SO
THE TREND WILL BE FOR DIMINISHING WIND. GALES WILL BE CANCELLED OVER
BOSTON HARBOR AND NARRAGANSETT BAY...AND CONDITIONS SHOULD GO BELOW
GALE FORCE ELSEWHERE LATER TONIGHT. SMALL CRAFT HEADLINES WILL TAKE
OVER IN THE HARBOR AND BAY.

SAT...SCA IN THE MORNING THEN SCA SHRINKING-DIMINISHING LATE IN THE DAY.

SAT NIGHT...NO SCA IN THE WINDOW IS 00Z-06Z. SCA SLY WIND POSSIBLE TWD
DAWN SUNDAY PARTS OF THE OUTER WATERS.

OUTLOOK /SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...

SUNDAY...LOW PRESSURE WILL SPAWN SCA SOUTHEAST WIND GUSTS TO MOST OF
OUR WATERS DURING THE DAY.

SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY...HIGH CONFIDENCE IN WESTERLY GALE FORCE
WIND GUSTS OF 40 KNOTS ACROSS THE WATERS AS LOW PRESSURE DEEPENS AND
MOVES INTO THE CANADIAN MARITIMES.

TUESDAY...LEFTOVER SCA WIND GUSTS IN THE COLD AIR ADVECTION PATTERN
ARE EXPECTED.

WEDNESDAY...WINDS AND SEAS SHOULD BE BELOW SCA THRESHOLDS AS HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDS OVER THE REGION.
