...WINTER STORM WARNING NOW IN EFFECT FROM 9 PM THIS EVENING TO
1 PM EST MONDAY...

THE WINTER STORM WARNING IS NOW IN EFFECT FROM 9 PM THIS EVENING
TO 1 PM EST MONDAY. 

THIS WARNING COVERS NORTHERN CONNECTICUT...SOUTHERN NEW HAMPSHIRE...
MOST OF RHODE ISLAND...AND MOST OF MASSACHUSETTS EXCEPT SOUTHEASTERN
SECTIONS.

A QUICK HITTING STORM SYSTEM WILL PACK QUITE A PUNCH FOR MOST OF
SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND TONIGHT INTO MONDAY MORNING.

SNOW WILL BEGIN IN EARNEST ACROSS CONNECTICUT AND RHODE ISLAND BY 9
PM...MASSACHUSETTS BY 10 PM...AND SOUTHERN NEW HAMPSHIRE BETWEEN 10
PM AND 11 PM. SNOW WILL QUICKLY BECOME VERY HEAVY...WITH SNOWFALL
RATES OF 2 INCHES PER HOUR. RATES OF 3 INCHES PER HOUR ARE
POSSIBLE...ESPECIALLY IF ISOLATED THUNDER DEVELOPS. THE SNOW WILL
CONTINUE TO POUND THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. 

THE BIG QUESTION IS HOW FAR WEST THE CHANGEOVER TO A MIX OR ALL
SLEET WILL OCCUR. IT NOW APPEARS THAT THE FARTHEST WEST THAT THIS
LINE WILL GET WILL BE FROM WILLIMANTIC CONNECTICUT TO WOONSOCKET
RHODE ISLAND TO BOSTON MASSACHUSETTS AND POSSIBLY CAPE ANN. IF IT
DOES CHANGE TO SLEET FROM THOSE AREAS EASTWARD...IT WOULD LIKELY
OCCUR BETWEEN 3 AM AND 5 AM AND INTO THE EARLY MORNING COMMUTE HOURS.

THE MAXIMUM SNOWFALL ACCUMULATIONS OF UP TO 14 INCHES ARE EXPECTED
IN A SOUTHWEST TO NORTHEAST BAND FROM WINDHAM COUNTY CONNECTICUT
THROUGH SOUTHERN WORCESTER...WESTERN NORFOLK...MIDDLESEX...AND
WESTERN ESSEX COUNTIES IN MASSACHUSETTS. WEST OF THERE...GENERALLY 
8 TO 12 INCHES ARE FORECAST FOR THE HARTFORD...SPRINGFIELD...FITCHBURG
...NASHUA...AND MANCHESTER NEW HAMPSHIRE AREAS. TO THE EAST OF THAT
MAXIMUM...8 TO 12 INCHES IS ALSO EXPECTED FROM PROVIDENCE TO FOXBORO
TO BOSTON. THESE AMOUNTS WOULD BE TOWARD THE LOWER END OF THE RANGE
IF SLEET MIXES IN EARLIER THAN EXPECTED OR CLOSER TO THE MAXIMUM OF
14 INCHES IF NO SLEET EVER MIXES IN. AMOUNTS WILL SHARPLY CUT OFF TO
ONLY A COUPLE OF INCHES TOWARD THE CAPE COD CANAL.

SNOW AND ANY SLEET WILL TAPER OFF DURING THE MID TO LATE MORNING 
HOURS.

WINDS WILL INCREASE TO 20 TO 30 MPH WITH HIGHER GUSTS ALONG THE COAST
LATE TONIGHT AND EARLY MONDAY MORNING...WITH 15 TO 25 MPH OVER THE
INTERIOR. THE COMBINATION OF SNOW...SLEET...AND GUSTY WINDS MAY RESULT
IN SCATTERED POWER OUTAGES.

SAFE TRAVEL IN SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND SHOULD BE COMPLETED BY 8 PM THIS
EVENING. TRAVEL SHOULD BE ESPECIALLY AVOIDED BETWEEN 11 PM AND 
5 AM WHEN THE SNOWFALL WILL BE AT ITS PEAK INTENSITY.

A MAP OF EXPECTED SNOWFALL IS POSTED IN A LINK AT THE TOP OF THE
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON HOME PAGE.

A WINTER STORM WARNING IS ISSUED WHEN AN AVERAGE OF 6 OR MORE
INCHES OF SNOW IS EXPECTED IN A 12 HOUR PERIOD...OR FOR 8 OR MORE
INCHES IN A 24 HOUR PERIOD. TRAVEL WILL BE SLOW AT BEST ON WELL
TREATED SURFACES...AND QUITE DIFFICULT ON ANY UNPLOWED OR
UNTREATED SURFACES.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
347 AM EST SUN MAR 1 2009

.SYNOPSIS...
WEAK LOW PRESSURE WILL TRACK SOUTHEAST OF CAPE COD THIS
AFTERNOON...THEN A MUCH STRONGER COASTAL STORM WILL BRING HEAVY SNOW
AND SLEET TO SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND TONIGHT AND EARLY MONDAY AS IT
TRACKS SOUTH AND EAST OF NANTUCKET.  DRY HIGH PRES REACHES THE EAST
COAST WED AND THU. THE NEXT AREA OF LOW PRESSURE AND ITS WARM FRONT
MAY AFFECT THE REGION AT THE END OF THE WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
PRECIPITATION HAS BEEN DELAYED BY A FEW HOURS DUE TO A CONSIDERABLE
AMOUNT OF LOW LEVEL DRY AIR GENERALLY UNDERFORECAST BY MODEL
GUIDANCE. USED FWC DEWPOINTS WHICH LOOKED FAIRLY REPRESENTATIVE.

CONSIDERABLE HIGH CLOUDS COVERS THE REGION. SOME VIRGA NOTED ON THE
LATEST RADAR LOOP JUST SOUTH OF THE REGION. PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED
TO SHIFT NORTH LATE TONIGHT AS THE LOW DEVELOPS OFF THE MID ATLANTIC
COAST. PRECIPITATION WILL HAVE A DIFFICULT TIME MAKING IT TO THE
GROUND GIVEN THE AMOUNT OF LOW LEVEL DRY AIR WHICH HAS BECOME
ENTRENCHED ACROSS THE AREA. THERMAL ADVECTION AND LOW LEVEL INFLOW
IS EXPECTED TO INCREASE AFTER 06Z SO EVENTUALLY THE REFLECTIVITY
RETURNS WILL REACH THE GROUND ACROSS RHODE ISLAND AND SOUTHEASTERN
MASSACHUSETTS.

LOWERED POPS BY 15 PERCENT ACROSS THE AREA OVERNIGHT.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM MONDAY/...
EXPECTING A WEAK LOW PRESSURE TO PASS WELL EAST OF CAPE COD SUNDAY
AFTERNOON. 28/12Z MODELS ARE IN DECENT AGREEMENT WITH THE FIRST
WAVE...SO STAYED FAIRLY CLOSE TO THE CONSENSUS TIMING. WITH SUCH A
WEAK WAVE...NOT EXPECTING MORE THAN AN INCH OR SO OF SNOW OF SLEET...
MAINLY SOUTH AND EAST OF THE I-95 CORRIDOR IN MA AND RI. NOT
EXPECTING THE NEED FOR AN ADVISORY AT THIS TIME.

BEST TIMING HAS THE PRECIPITATION STARTING AFTER MIDNIGHT...PEAKING
AROUND DAYBREAK SUNDAY...THEN BRIEFLY TAPERING OFF SUNDAY AFTERNOON.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
COASTAL STORM PULLS AWAY INTO THE MARITIMES MON NGT INTO TUE WITH
BLUSTERY AND COLD NW FLOW FOLLOWING.  STEADY PRECIP MOVES OUT BY MON
EVENING IN DRY SLOT...BUT STILL HAVE POTENT UPPER TROF TO MOVE
THROUGH LATER MON NGT INTO TUE.  GOOD 500-300 MB QG FORCING COMBINED
WITH AREA OF DEEPER WRAPAROUND MOISTURE SUGGESTS SCT SNOW SHOWERS
MOVING WEST TO EAST ACROSS SNE LATE MON NGT INTO TUE.  WE WILL HAVE
CHC POPS IN THE INTERIOR WHERE HIGHEST PROB OF SNOW SHOWERS...AND
SCHC ELSEWHERE.

MOCLDY SKIES AND GUSTY WINDS WILL PREVAIL THROUGH TUE WITH VERY COLD
CONDITIONS AS 850 MB TEMPS FALL TO NEAR -20C.  WE HAVE MAXES TUE IN
THE LOW TO MID 20S WHICH IS 15 TO 20 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL.  WIND
CHILLS TO -10F TUE MORNING IN THE HIGHER TERRAIN WITH REGION WIDE
WIND CHILLS 5 TO 15 DEGREES TUE AFTERNOON.  NW WINDS GUSTING TO 30
MPH.

HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN LATE TUE NIGHT THROUGH THU RESULTING IN
DRY CONDITIONS AND GRADUAL DIMINISHING WINDS.  BUT WE WILL HAVE TO
WATCH FOR ONE LAST SHORTWAVE ROTATING AROUND UPPER LOW ON WED.
COULD SEE MINS AT OR BELOW ZERO TUE NIGHT ACROSS NW MA AND SW NH IF
WINDS DECOUPLE...WITH SINGLE NUMBERS AND LOW TEENS ELSEWHERE.  TEMPS
RECOVER WED AND THU BUT STILL ABOUT 10 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL.

NEXT CHC OF PRECIP COMES FRI AND FRI NIGHT. PTYPE AND QPF IN
QUESTION AS GFS/GGEM CONSIDERABLY COLDER AND WETTER THAN ECMWF/UKMET
WITH STRONGER WAA AND POSSIBLE COASTAL REDEVELOPMENT.  DETAILS TO BE
WORKED OUT LATER.

LOW CONFIDENCE FORECAST FOR SAT.  WENT WITH DRY GFS FOR NOW...BUT
ECMWF IS WET.

&&

.AVIATION /09Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
TODAY...VFR CIGS BDL/BAF/MHT. MVFR CIGS DEVELOPING NOW CAPE COD TO
BOSTON PVD /BY 10Z/. 00Z/01 NAM PRIMARY CLOUD GUIDE WITH SOME GFS
BLEND.

RAIN DEVELOPS KACK BY 10Z POSSIBLY MXD WITH SLEET FOR AN HOUR.

SNOW/SLEET FMH/HYA AROUND 10-11Z. WITH SNOW PVD TO BOSTON THIS
MORNING AND PROBABLY A PRD OF IFR CONDS AS POTENTIAL .10 MELTED W.E.
FALLS IN A 3 HR PERIOD...BEST DEPICTED BY THE RGEM/NAM. GFS PCPN FCST
OVERDONE AT 06Z BUT...RGEM/NAM ARE A TAD SLOW ON THE STEADY NWD
OVERRUNNING SPREAD OF QPF PER OBSERVED MEASURABLE IN NJ AT 05Z.

SLIGHT CHC KBOS/KPVD SEE BRIEF 1/2S OVC005 THIS MORNING.

WE THINK DRY AIR EATS THE POTENTIAL SNOW SHOWERS BDL/BAF TODAY LEAVING
VIRGA VFR CIGS THERE...BUT UKMET/GFS WANT TO TRY FOR A PRD OF SNOW SHOWERS
THERE. WE FCST DRY BUT MAY NEED TO UPDATE AFTER 12Z.

FOR CAPE COD...THINK WAA CHANGES PCPN TO RAIN BY MIDDAY BUT FCST FZRA
FMH WHICH HAS SLIGHT COOLING FROM TERRAIN LIFT AND SLIGHTLY FURTHER
AWAY FROM CAPE COD BAY INFLUENCE - ALSO SHOWN IN TSECS AND NAM/RGEM
TEMP PROFILES.

PCPN MAY QUIT EVERYWHERE THIS AFTN THAT IT OCCURS THIS MORNING BUT
RGEM AND LESSER SO THE GFS WOULD LIKE IT TO CONTINUE THRU THE AFTN.

TONIGHT...WIDESPREAD IFR/LIFR DEVELOPS IN SNE FM S TO N AS THE MAINE
EVENT ARRIVES. RAIN KACK...RAIN/SLEET KHYA AND RAIN/FREEZING RAIN/SLEET
KFMH.

REMAINDER ITS SNOW EXCEPT SNOW/SLEET MXD PVD/BOS AS DETAILED IN THE TAF.
WE BLENDED TSEC THERMAL GUIDANCE. 00Z/1 NAM IS COLD...LOOKS TOO COLD
TO ME. PRD OF MDT TO HEAVY SNOW WILL OCCUR AS WE TRIED TO OUTLINE IN
THE 06Z TAFS /PLS REFERENCE THOSE FOR THE BEST ESTIMATE OF DETAILS/.

PLOWING OPS AND EITHER DELAYS/CANCELLATIONS WILL BECOME AN AIR TRAVEL ISSUE
TONIGHT FOR SNE AIRPORTS. RECOVERY MAY BE SWIFT MONDAY BUT BLOWING/DRIFTING
SNOW WILL OCCUR ALL BUT THE CAPE AND ISLANDS WHERE LOOKS LIKE MOST OF
THE PCPN IS RAIN/SLEET/FREEZING RAIN.

OUTLOOK /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...

MON NIGHT AND TUE...AREAS OF MVFR CIGS AND SCT SW- AS UPPER TROF
MOVES THROUGH...OTHERWISE VFR CIGS.  GUSTY NW WINDS.

WED AND THU...VFR.
