FREEZING ELSEWHERE. WHILE LIFT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS FRONT IS
WEAK...GIVEN BEST F-GEN AND ISENTROPIC LIFT IS WELL N...SOME LIGHT
PRECIP IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN FALLING ESPECIALLY OVER THE N AND W BY
EARLY MORNING HOURS.

THE KEY ISSUE WITH THIS PRECIP WILL BE P-TYPE. THERE IS STILL SOME
DISAGREEMENT ON HOW FAST THE BL WARM AIR IS ABLE TO SPILL OVER THE
REGION IN THE EARLY MORNING HOURS. NAM IS COOLEST WHILE GFS IS
MORE PROGRESSIVE AND WARMER. GIVEN THE UNCERTAINTY BASED THICKNESS
AND BL TEMPS ON A BLEND OF THESE TWO SOLNS. A COMBINED PROFILE
FROM THIS BLEND DOES SUGGEST THAT /MAINLY AFTER 2 AM/ SOME MIXED
PRECIP OF SNOW/SLEET/FREEZING RAIN WILL FALL IN THE NW PORTIONS OF
THE FA. GIVEN THE CHANCE FOR A BRIEF PERIOD OF SNOW/SLEET EARLY IN
THE PRECIP ONSET...NEAR SFC TEMPS MAY HOLD CLOSER TO FREEZING IN
THIS AREA AS WELL. THE FREEZING SFC TEMPS SUGGEST SOME LIGHT ICE
COATING IS POSSIBLE IN NRN FRANKLIN AND WORCESTER COUNTIES IN
MA...AS WELL AS CHESHIRE AND WESTERN AND CENTRAL HILLSBOROUGH IN
NH. GIVEN THIS POTENTIAL FOR A LIGHT COATING OF ICE AND THE FACT
IT IS EXPECTED TO FALL JUST BEFORE AND DURING THE MORNING
RUSH...HAVE ISSUED A WINTER WX ADVISORY FOR THIS AREA. EXPECT THE
WINDOW FOR FREEZING PRECIP WILL BE SHORT LIVED WITH THE PRECIP
RAPIDLY TRANSITIONING TO RAIN REGIONWIDE DURING THE MORNING. WILL
NEED TO MONITOR FOR FREEZING DRIZZLE...ESPECIALLY IF THE NAM IS
CORRECT.

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...

THU...
WARM FRONT SHIFTS TO THE AND FLOW ALOFT BECOMES MORE W TO
E DURING THE DAY. THIS FLOW PARALLELS A COLD FRONT /SLOWING IT
DOWN/ AS IT APPROACHES FROM THE W. GIVEN THAT MUCH OF THE REGION
LIES FIRMLY IN THE WARM SECTOR AND THERE IS AN INCREASE IN F-GEN
AND ISENTROPIC LIFT AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT...SUSPECT MUCH OF THE
REGION WILL AT LEAST SEE SOME SHOWERS DURING THE DAY. THE BEST
CHANCE FOR PRECIP REMAINS CLOSELY ASSOCIATED WITH THE STRONGER JET
TO THE N AND W...SO WILL MAINTAIN THE HIGHEST POPS IN THIS REGION.
GIVEN THAT THE FORCING IS WEEK OVER MUCH OF THE AREA AND THE COLD
FRONT GRADUALLY WASHES OUT UNDER PARALLEL FLOW...HAVE GENERALLY
ONLY CHANCE POPS S OF THE MA PIKE UNTIL THE SHORTWAVE CATCHES UP
LATE THU. AT THIS POINT THE BEST CHANCE WILL SHIFT MORE TOWARD SE
MA. GIVEN THE WARM AIRMASS WITHIN THE WARM SECTOR...TEMPS WILL BE
LIKELY BE ABOVE NORMAL WITH SOME AREAS IN THE LOW TO MID 50S.
WINDS WILL ALSO INCREASE AHEAD OF THE FRONT WITH GUSTS AS HIGH AS
30 MPH POSSIBLE OVER SE MA.

THU NIGHT...
COLD FRONT FINALLY CROSSES THE REGION DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS.
PRECIP WILL LIKELY BE CONFINED TO ERN PORTIONS OF THE FA EARLY IN
THE OVERNIGHT AND STRONG SUBSIDENCE ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE FRONT
WILL BRING PRECIP QUICKLY TO AN END ESPECIALLY AFTER 06Z.
STRONGEST CAA IS SLIGHTLY DELAYED UNTIL MORNING HOWEVER...DUE TO
THE FRONT BEING NEAR PARALLEL TO THE FLOW ALOFT. GIVEN THIS...AND
THE FAIR AMOUNT OF CLOUD COVER EXPECTED TEMPS WILL NOT DROP AS
MUCH AS COULD BE EXPECTED GIVEN THE COLDER AIRMASS MOVING IN.
COLDEST MINS IN THE NW WILL BE IN THE MID 30S WHILE LOW 40S ARE
POSSIBLE OVER MUCH OF THE ERN PORTIONS OF THE FA. QPF VALUES WILL
LIKELY BE LOW OVERNIGHT.

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...

MAIN POINTS...
* STRONG NW WINDS ON FRIDAY
* DRY PATTERN FOR SATURDAY
* ARCTIC FRONT INTO SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY
* STORM ON THE HORIZON FOR THE EARLY- TO MID-WEEK PERIOD

OVERVIEW AND FCST THINKING...
ANOMALOUS PATTERN CONTINUES WITH STORM TRACKS REMAINING N/W OF THE
FCST RGN WITH HIGHER H85-H5 HEIGHTS ACROSS THE ERN CONUS. PREV WEEK
CLOSED H5 LOW OVER THE SWRN CONUS EVOLVED INTO AN OPEN WAVE TROF
THRU THE LOWER MS RVR VLY...THEN NEWD THRU THE MID-ATLC/NEW ENG. A
SIMILAR PATTERN IS SHAPING UP FOR EARLY TO MID-WEEK PD NEXT WEEK.
PRESENTLY 0Z ECMWF/CMC SOLNS...ALONG WITH A BROADER 0Z GEFS...IN
GOOD AGREEMENT...WHEREAS THE 12Z GFS REMAINS AN OUTLIER YET CLOSER
IN SIMILARITY TO THE PREV WEEK OUTCOME. LATEST 12Z ECMWF HAS COME
CLOSER IN MIMICKING THE PREV WEEK PATTERN.

FOR THE LONG-TERM FCST...WILL CONTINUE THE MEAN H5 ATMOS TREND WITH
A WARMER AND PROGRESSIVE SOLN ALONG THE ERN CONUS /INSIDE RUNNERS/.
BELIEVE NAO/AO TELECONNECTIONS WILL REMAIN POS COUPLED WITH THE
STRONG LA NINA PATTERN. SHALL LEAN CLOSER TO ECMWF/CMC SOLNS.

FRIDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHT...
SCTD SHOWERS WITH ATTENDANT LEAD SHRTWV THRU THE FCST RGN IN THE
EARLY PD. WILL GO CHC TO SLGT CHC POPS...KEEP IT WARM /NO FRZN
PRECIP/. WELL-MIXED TO H85 /AVG -6C/ WHERE WINDS AVG 40 MPH /35 MPH
AT H925/. EXPECTING MAX TEMPS LOW-MID 40S WITH STRATOCU FETCH OFF
THE LAKES AND MIXING OF RESIDUAL MOISTURE...BLUSTERY. OVRNGT HIGH
PRES BUILDS SEWD OUT OF CANADA. ALTHO SFC WINDS LIGHTEN...MID-UPR
LVL CLOUDS LIKELY WITH BROAD H5 TROF ACROSS THE RGN WITH ATTENDANT
SHRTWV IMPULSES. NOT A PERFECT RADIATIONAL COOLING SCENARIO...BUT
WILL GO COLD WITH THE ARCTIC FRNT THRU THE RGN AND CAA ALOFT.

SATURDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT...
RIDGING THRU THE RGN WITH CONTINUED CAA ALOFT. LGT AND VRB SFC FLOW.
WELL-MIXED TO H85 /AVG -8 TO -10C WITH H925 AVG -5C/. MAX TEMPS UPR
30S TO LOW 40S. WINDS AROUND 10 MPH ALOFT SO NOT EXPECTING BLUSTERY
CONDITIONS. SHRTWV ENERGY THRU THE BROAD H5 TROF ROTATING INTO THE
RGN BY SUN MORN. EXPECT MID-HIGH LVL CLOUDS /LOW STRATOCU OVER THE
WATERS WITH CAA/. MAY HAVE TO USHER POPS FOR THE N/W LATE...SOME
QUESTION AS TO THE STRENGTH OF THE HIGH PRES RIDGE AND ATTENDANT
SUBSIDENCE /CMC MORE PRONOUNCED AND MOIST WITHIN THE LLVLS/.

SUNDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHT...
SHRTWV ENERGY DIGS AND LIFTS E THRU THE MORN. 0Z CMC USHERS POP CHCS
FOR THE ENTIRE FCST RGN WITH MORE MOIST LLVLS AND INVIGORATED LIFT.
AM LEANING MORESO WITH ECMWF WITH DRIER LLVLS AND INFLUENTIAL HIGH
PRES RIDGE AND SUBSIDENCE. BRIEF PD OF CAA IN WAKE OF THE SHRTWV
WITH WELL-MIXED PROFILE TO H85 /AVG -12C/. WINDS AVG 10 MPH ALOFT SO
NOT EXPECTING BLUSTERY SFC WINDS. MAX TEMPS IN THE LOW-MID 30S.
RIDGE PRESSES E OVRNGT WITH RETURN W/SW FLOW ALOFT LENDING TO A
WARMING TREND. LGT/VRB SFC FLOW. COULD SEE MOSTLY CLEAR CONDITIONS
/PERHAPS SOME MID-UPR LVL CLOUDS/...GOOD RADIATIONAL COOLING EVENT.

MONDAY INTO WEDNESDAY...
CLOSED LOW OUT OF THE SWRN CONUS TRANSITIONS AS AN OPEN WAVE THRU
THE MID-MS RVR VLY INTO THE GRT LKS RGN BY THE END OF THE PD. THRU
THIS TRANSITION...SFC LOW INTENSIFIES...ATTENDANT WARM FRNT LIFTS
THRU THE RGN ALONG WHICH LOW-MID LVL FLOW /H925-H85 AROUND 50 MPH/
ACCELERATES A WARM/MOIST TONGUE. ALTHO THE BETTER LIFT WILL BE
ACROSS THE GRT LKS RGN...E/SELY ISALLOBARIC COMPONENT OF WIND
COUPLED WITH ISENTROPIC UPGLIDE AND MID-UPR LVL FORCING WILL PROVIDE
A RGN OF FAVORABLE LIFT AND CHC POPS BEGINNING MON NGT INTO TUE. AM
SOMEWHAT CONCERNED OF DRY SLOTTING THRU TUE EVNG THAT MAY DIMINISH
POP CHCS...DURING WHICH TIME THERE IS LESS FAVORABLE LIFT. GOING
WITH THE PROGRESSIVE SOLNS...EXPECTING DRYING TUE NGT AS THE LOW AND
ATTENDANT TROF SLIDE OFFSHORE. PARTICULARS FAIRLY UNCERTAIN...WILL
HAVE A BETTER HANDLE ON THE SITUATION AS WE GET CLOSER IN TIME. MAY
NEED TO BE CONCERNED WITH MIXED PRECIP WITH THE INITIAL ONSET OF THE
STORM MON NGT INTO TUE.
