ESTABLISHED. SFC RIDGE OF HIGH PRES EXTENDING THRU WRN NEW ENGLAND
INTO THE MID-ATLANTIC WILL SLIDE SEWD OUT OF THE RGN BY THE LATE
MORNING HRS...WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY A MID-UPR LVL RIDGE OF HIGH
PRES PROGRESSES EWD LENDING TO INCREASING FLOW OUT OF THE SW ALOFT.
THIS WILL RESULT IN STRONG ISENTROPIC ASCENT OF WARM MOIST AIR AT
MID-LVLS AND INCREASING CLOUDS THRU THE AFTN ACROSS THE RGN AHEAD
OF THE DVLPNG LOW THRU THE LWR MS VLY.

LGT AND VRB SFC WINDS WILL CONTINUE INTO MORNING. AS SHORELINE
COMMUNITIES ARE PRESENTLY EXPERIENCING 5 TO 10 MPH NW WINDS...
THEY SHOULD RELAX INTO THE MORNING AS WELL. OVRNGT LOWS TOWARDS
SUNRISE WILL FALL INTO THE SINGLE DIGITS FOR INTERIOR SECTIONS
WITH TEENS ALONG THE SHORE AND LWR CT VLY...WITH VALUES IN THE
LOW-MID 20S FOR THE CAPE AND ISLSNDS

QUESTIONS REVOLVE AS TO THE STRENGTH OF THE WARM AND MOIST
ADVECTION ALOFT AGAINST THE RETREATING SFC HIGH...AND THE ONSET OF
PRECIP. WITH A COMPONENT OF SLY AIR FROM THE DEPARTING SFC HIGH
LOW-MID LVLS SHOULD REMAIN FAIRLY DRY THRU THE COURSE OF THURS. IN
ADDITION THE BETTER MID-LVL FORCING PARENT WITH SHRTWV ENERGY IS
LAGGED WITH THE SFC WARM FRONT AND BETTER BAROCLINIC RGN WHICH BY
THURS EVNG IS SLOWLY LIFTING THRU THE MID-ATLANTIC. SHOULD ANY
PRECIP FALL ACROSS THE RGN PRIOR TO SUNSET IT WILL ENCOUNTER
DIFFICULTY IN REACHING THE SFC DUE TO THE ABUNDANCE OF LLVL DRY
AIR.

HAVE KEPT PRETTY WELL CONSISTENT TO PREV FORECASTERS THINKING.
HAVE GONE WITH METNAM GUIDANCE FOR SFC WINDS WHILE TRENDING
INCREASING CLOUDY CONDITIONS INTO THE EVNG PERIOD. WITH WINDS
BACKING OUT OF THE S AND INCREASING CLOUDS...SFC TEMPS SHOULD
MODERATE INTO THE UPR 30S INTO THE LOW 40S FOR THURS. BEGIN TO
INTRODUCE SLGT CHCS AFTER 4 PM THURS...WITH BETTER CHCS DEVELOPING
BY MIDNIGHT FRIDAY.

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...

THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY...

***A WIDE VARIETY OF WEATHER EXPECTED THU NIGHT/FRIDAY...

THE MODELS HAVE COME INTO BETTER AGREEMENT ON THE TRACK OF LOW
PRESSURE DEVELOPING OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS.  MODEL CONSENSUS TAKES
THE INTENSIFYING STORM SYSTEM NEAR OR JUST INSIDE THE I-95
CORRIDOR.  SINCE WE ARE STILL MORE THAN 48 HOURS AWAY FROM THE
EVENT...THE TRACK AND ITS EXACT IMPACTS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
HOWEVER...FEEL WE HAVE A MUCH BETTER FEEL OF WHAT WILL UNFOLD THAN
WE DID 24 HOURS AGO.  THIS SYSTEM WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO PRODUCE
A VARIETY OF WEATHER ACROSS THE REGION.  THE FIRST INCLUDES SOME
SNOW/ICE ACROSS THE INTERIOR.  THE SECOND IS ADDRESSING HEAVY
RAIN/FLOOD POTENTIAL ON THE COASTAL PLAIN.  FINALLY...THE THIRD WILL
REVOLVE AROUND THE POTENTIAL FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF STRONG TO
POSSIBLY DAMAGING WINDS ACROSS RHODE ISLAND/SOUTHEAST MA.  WE WILL
GO THROUGH ALL THREE POTENTIAL HAZARDS IN THE DISCUSSION BELOW.  AS
FOR THE TIMING OF THE PRECIPITATION...IT SHOULD ARRIVE THURSDAY
EVENING FROM WEST TO EAST...WITH THE HEAVIEST COMING ON FRIDAY.

1) SNOW AND ICE POTENTIAL:
BASED ON VARIOUS MODEL SOUNDINGS THE SNOW/ICE THREAT SHOULD BE
CONFINED TO INTERIOR SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND.  AS WE ALL KNOW...THERMAL
PROFILES ARE EXTREMELY SENSITIVE TO THE SLIGHTEST MODEL ERRORS.
THIS CAN HAVE HUGE RAMIFICATIONS ON PRECIPITATION TYPES AND OF
COURSE ACCUMULATIONS.  THEREFORE...SNOWFALL AMOUNTS ARE UNCERTAIN
AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE.  AT THIS POINT THOUGH IT DOES NOT LOOK LIKE A
MAJOR SNOW/ICE EVENT FOR MOST OF OUR REGION.  IT LOOKS LIKE 1 TO 3
INCHES OF SNOW IS THE BEST BET ACROSS NORTHWEST/NORTH CENTRAL
THURSDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY FRIDAY MORNING.  WARMING MID LEVEL
TEMPERATURES WITH INTENSIFYING LOW LEVEL JET WOULD LIKELY TURN THE
PRECIPITATION TO RAIN FRIDAY MORNING.  HOWEVER...POCKETS OF MARGINAL
FREEZING RAIN WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN INTO
THE EARLY AFTERNOON.  MARGINAL TEMPERATURES OF 31 OR 32 DEGREES
DURING THE DAYLIGHT HOURS OF LATE FEBRUARY MAY LIMIT THE IMPACT OF
ICING AS OPPOSED TO IT OCCURRING NI DECEMBER OR JANUARY.  THE MAIN
CONCERN BY LATER FRIDAY MORNING WILL BE THE THREAT FOR URBAN AND
POOR DRAINAGE STREET FLOODING...ESPECIALLY WHERE SNOW CLOGS STORM
DRAINS.

THE ONE AREA WILL HAVE TO WATCH FOR MORE OF A WINTER WEATHER
POTENTIAL IS IN OUR EXTREME NORTHWEST COUNTY WARNING AREA.  THIS
INCLUDES NORTHERN CHESHIRE AND NORTHERN HILLSBOROUGH COUNTIES IN
SOUTHERN NH.  THIS AREA COULD SEE A SWATH OF 2 TO 6 INCHES OF SNOW
BASED ON MOST OF THE DATA.  NOW THE GFS IS THE OUTLIER AND INDICATES
A COLDER SOLUTION WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR OVER 6 INCHES OF WET SNOW
ACROSS THIS REGION.  NOW WE CAN NOT COMPLETELY RULE THIS SOLUTION
OUT...BUT IT SEEMS A LOW PROBABILITY AT THIS TIME.  THEREFORE...NO
WINTER STORM WATCH WILL BE ISSUED AT THIS TIME.  HOWEVER...IF THE
00Z GUIDANCE TRENDS A BIT SOUTH ONE WILL HAVE TO BE CONSIDERED FOR
SOUTHERN NH.

2) HEAVY RAIN AND FLOOD POTENTIAL ON THE COASTAL PLAIN:
A VERY BRIEF PERIOD OF WET SNOW CAN NOT BE RULED OUT THURSDAY
EVENING...BUT LITTLE IF ANY ACCUMULATIONS ARE EXPECTED.
OTHERWISE...THE MODELS ARE IN VERY GOOD AGREEMENT IN SHOWING 1.50 TO
2 INCHES OF RAIN FALLING ACROSS THE COASTAL PLAIN THURSDAY NIGHT
INTO FRIDAY.  THE HEAVIEST IS EXPECTED TO FALL FRIDAY MORNING INTO
THE EARLY AFTERNOON.  THIS WILL ALMOST SURELY RESULT IN A VERY MESSY
FRIDAY MORNING RUSH HOUR WITH PLENTY OF URBAN AND POOR DRAINAGE
STREET FLOODING...ESPECIALLY WHERE SNOW CLOGS STORM DRAINS.  THE
RIVER FORECAST CENTER RAN A CONTINGENCY BASED ON 2 INCHES OF RAIN IN
A SHORT TIME AND IT CAUSED A LOT OF RISES BUT NO RIVER FLOODING.
THEREFORE...NO FLOOD WATCH IS PLANNED AT THIS TIME.  WILL HIGHLIGHT
THE EXPECTED URBAN/POOR DRAINAGE STREET FLOODING AND THE POSSIBLE
NEED FOR SHORT FUSED FLOOD ADVISORIES IN THE HAZARDOUS WEATHER
OUTLOOK.  ALSO...WILL INCLUDE A SLIGHT CHANCE OF THUNDER FOR RHODE
ISLAND/SOUTHEAST MA WITH THE STRONG LOW LEVEL JET.

3) PERIOD OF STRONG WINDS ACROSS RHODE ISLAND/SOUTHEAST MA:
BASED ON THE EXPECTED TRACK IT APPEARS THE PORTIONS OF RHODE
ISLAND/SOUTHEAST MA WILL WARM SECTOR FOR A FEW HOURS LATE FRIDAY
MORNING/AFTERNOON.  THE NAM INDICATES AS SOUTHWEST LOW LEVEL JET OF
UP TO 90 KNOTS AT 850 MB AT 18Z FRIDAY.  SURFACE TEMPERATURES MAY
SOAR INTO THE 50S ACROSS RHODE ISLAND/SOUTHEAST MA WHICH MAY ALLOW
FOR THESE STRONG WINDS TO MIX DOWN FOR A FEW HOURS.  FEEL THERE IS A
MEDIUM TO HIGH PROBABILITY THAT WE WILL NEED A WIND ADVISORY FOR
FRIDAY.  THERE IS EVEN A LOW PROBABILITY FOR A HIGH WIND
WATCH/WARNING EVENTUALLY BEING NEEDED FOR INTERIOR RHODE
ISLAND/SOUTHEAST MA WHERE BOUNDARY LAYER TEMPERATURES GET THE
HIGHEST.  EITHER WAY...HEAVY RAIN COMBINED WITH A PERIOD OF STRONG
WINDS COULD RESULT IN SOME DAMAGE.

FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY...
LINGERING PRECIPITATION SHOULD COME TO AN END FRIDAY EVENING.
HOWEVER...A BURST OF 30 TO 40 KNOT NORTHWEST WIND GUSTS WILL OCCUR
IN THE COLD AIR ADVECTION PATTERN.  IT MAY RESULT IN MARGINAL WIND
ADVISORY CRITERIA ACROSS A PORTION OF THE AREA FRIDAY NIGHT.
OTHERWISE...DRY AND SEASONABLY COLD AIR RETURNS LATER FRIDAY NIGHT
INTO SATURDAY.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...

UPPER FLOW STARTS THE LONG TERM IN A SPLIT FLOW.  AS A SHORTWAVE
MOVES OUT OF THE SOUTHWEST THE FLOW THEN UNIFIES WITH HUDSON BAY LOW
PULLING THE SOUTHWEST SHORTWAVE INTO THE GREAT LAKES AND EASTERN
CANADA.  THE PERIOD ENDS WITH CYCLONIC FLOW OVER THE NORTHEAST USA
AND OVER THE GULF OF ALASKA.

TEMPERATURES ARE A BLEND OF HPC AND GRIDDED MOS.

SATURDAY NIGHT-SUNDAY...
UPPER SHORTWAVE OVER THE GREAT LAKES RACES EAST ACROSS NEW ENGLAND.
A STALLED FRONT SOUTH OF NEW ENGLAND SERVES AS A FOCUS FOR THE
SHORTWAVE TO INDUCE A WEAK SURFACE LOW WHICH ALSO MOVES EAST. THE
ECMWF-GFS-GGEM AGREE ON A PERIOD OF LIGHT PCPN AS THE WAVE MOVES
PAST.  THE FEATURES MOVE EAST BY LATE SUNDAY WITH THE MOISTURE LAYER
BECOMING MORE SHALLOW.

THIS CONSENSUS SUPPORTS CLOUDS WITH THE MOST LIFT BETWEEN 06Z AND
18Z SUNDAY...THIS IS OUR MAIN PERIOD OF CHANCE POPS.  PTYPE LOOKS TO
BE MAINLY SNOW...EXCEPT MIXED RAIN/SNOW ALONG THE SOUTH COAST...BUT
LIGHT ENOUGH FOR AT MOST AN INCH OR TWO OF SNOW.

MONDAY...
SOUTHWEST SHORTWAVE LIFTS THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES MONDAY WITH A
SOUTH LOW LEVEL JET BUILDING TO 60-70 KNOTS AND PULLING WARM AIR
NORTH. PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES REACH 1.0 TO 1.25 INCHES...SO A
WET STORM IS EXPECTED. THE GGEM-OPERATIONAL GFS-GFS ENSEMBLE MEAN
ARE COLLECTIVELY FASTER THAN THE OPERATIONAL ECMWF...AND BRING
PCPN TO NEW ENGLAND STARTING LATE SUNDAY NIGHT. THE ECMWF STARTS
IT MONDAY MORNING. ALL MODELS TAKE THE STORM CENTER UP THROUGH
QUEBEC...PLACING OUR AREA IN THE WARM SECTOR FOR A TIME. FROM
THERMAL PROFILES WE ARE EXPECTING AN INITIAL PERIOD OF SNOW...BUT
CHANGING TO RAIN BY MONDAY AFTERNOON. THE LOW THEN SWINGS A COLD
FRONT THROUGH DURING MONDAY NIGHT/EARLY TUESDAY...PRECIP SHOULD
WIND DOWN AT THIS TIME.

STRONG SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST WINDS ALOFT LEADING THE COLD FRONT.  IF
ENOUGH WARM AIR REACHES THE SURFACE THEN THERE WILL BE CONCERN FOR
STRONG AND POSSIBLY DAMAGING WIND GUSTS...THIS WILL NEED TO BE
MONITORED.  WITH PRECIP WATER VALUES AT OR ABOVE AN INCH WE WILL
AGAIN NEED TO BE ALERT FOR BRIEFLY HEAVY RAIN WITH LOCAL/POOR
DRAINAGE FLOODING.

TUESDAY...
STRONG PRESSURE RISES WILL TRAIL THE LOW AND COLD FRONT.  MODEL
FORECASTS SHOW 3 MB PER HOUR.  THIS WILL MEAN A STIFF WEST OR
NORTHWEST WIND DURING THE DAY.  THE RESULTING COLD ADVECTION WILL
DESTABILIZE THE AIRMASS...WHICH WILL BRING EVEN STRONGER WIND GUSTS
TO THE SURFACE.  PROFILES SHOW POTENTIAL FOR 35-40 KNOT GUSTS DURING
THE DAY.

WEDNESDAY...
ANOTHER COLD FRONT SWINGS THROUGH WEDNESDAY WITH MORE LIMITED LIFT
AND MOISTURE.  WE WENT WITH CLOUDS AND SLIGHT CHANCE POPS FOR
RAIN/SNOW SHOWERS.

.AVIATION /06Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS...
  LOW...LESS THAN 30 PERCENT
  MEDIUM...30 PERCENT TO 60 PERCENT
  HIGH...GREATER THAN 60 PERCENT

INTO MORNING...HIGH CONFIDENCE VFR. LIGHT AND VRB FLOW FOR
INTERIOR TERMINALS. NLY WINDS PRESENTLY ALONG THE CAPE AND ISLANDS
SHOULD DISSIPATE AND BECOME CALM.

THURSDAY...HIGH CONFIDENCE VFR. MID-HIGH LVL CLOUDS WILL BE ON THE
INCREASE ACROSS THE TERMINALS THRU THE MIDDAY INTO EVENING
HRS...WITH CIGS 5-10KFT BY 0Z FRI. WINDS WILL BACK OUT OF THE
SOUTH BY MORNING AND INCREASE 5-10KTS BY MIDDAY INTO AFTN.

THURSDAY NIGHT...HIGH CONFIDENCE MVFR-IFR CONDITIONS DEVELOPING
WITH THE ONSET OF DISTURBED WEATHER. ANTICIPATE A COMBINATION OF
SNOW AND POTENTIAL ICE FOR TERMINALS ACROSS NORTHWEST MA AND
SOUTHERN NH. ANY ACCUM SHOULD BE LIGHT. RAIN WILL DEVELOP ACROSS
CENTRAL MA AND TOWARDS THE SOUTH AND EAST. POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR
MVFR IMPLICATIONS BOTH CIGS AND VSBY RELATED WITH THE ONSET OF
RAIN.

KBOS TERMINAL...HIGH CONFIDENCE FOR VFR...DETERIORATING TO MVFR-
IFR AROUND MIDNIGHT FRIDAY. EXPECT THE ONSET OF RAIN PRIOR TO
MIDNIGHT AND BOTH CIGS AND VSBYS TO FALL TOWARDS THE END OF THE
PERIOD.

OUTLOOK...FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY...

FRIDAY...HIGH CONFIDENCE IN MVFR-IFR CONDITIONS IN RAIN ALONG THE
COASTAL PLAIN...WITH SNOW/ICE CHANGING TO RAIN ACROSS THE INTERIOR
FRIDAY MORNING. WIND SHEAR LIKELY ON FRIDAY...ESPECIALLY ALONG THE
COASTAL PLAIN. SOUTHWEST WIND GUSTS OF 35 TO 45 KNOTS ALSO
POSSIBLE LATE FRIDAY MORNING/AFTERNOON ALONG THE COASTAL PLAIN.

FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY...HIGH CONFIDENCE THAT CONDITIONS IMPROVE
TO VFR BY LATE FRIDAY EVENING AND CONTINUE THROUGH SATURDAY
AFTERNOON.

SUNDAY-MONDAY...POTENTIAL FOR MVFR CONDITIONS IN LIGHT SNOW
SUNDAY. CONDITIONS MAY IMPROVE FOR A TIME SUNDAY EVENING.
CONDITIONS THEN LOWER TO MVFR OR IFR IN SNOW OVERNIGHT CHANGING TO
RAIN MONDAY. STRONG SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST WINDS ARE EXPECTED MONDAY
AFTERNOON AT 2000 FEET WITH 50-70 KNOTS POSSIBLE AT THAT LEVEL.
THIS WOULD LEAD TO LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR.  MEDIUM CONFIDENCE.

&&

.MARINE...
TONIGHT...SEAS STILL REMAIN AT 6-7 FEET E OF NANTUCKET...SO HAVE
CONTINUED THE SMALL CRAFT FOR HAZARDOUS SEAS FOR ZONE ANZ254...BUT
DISCONTINUED FOR THE REMAINING EASTERN OUTER WATERS. EXPECT SEAS TO
FINALLY SUBSIDE BY AROUND 03Z OR SO. OTHERWISE...WINDS AND SEAS WILL
REMAIN BELOW SMALL CRAFT CRITERIA.

THURSDAY...WINDS BECOME S-SW AND START TO PICK UP AS SYSTEM
APPROACHES FROM THE W. SEAS MAY BUILD BACK UP TO 5 FT LATE IN THE
DAY ON THE SOUTHERN OUTER WATERS.

OUTLOOK...THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY...

THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY...WINDS AND SEAS SHOULD REMAIN BELOW SCA
THRESHOLDS THROUGH THURSDAY EVENING.  HOWEVER...INTENSIFYING LOW
PRESSURE WILL CAUSE WINDS AND SEAS TO INCREASE TO SCA THRESHOLDS
ACROSS THE SOUTHERN WATERS TOWARDS 12Z FRIDAY.  WINDS WILL FURTHER
INCREASE ON FRIDAY AS A VERY STRONG SOUTHWEST LOW LEVEL JET
DEVELOPS.  DESPITE THE INVERSION...THERE IS A GOOD CHANCE OF 40 KNOT
WIND GUSTS ACROSS THE SOUTHERN WATERS.  THEREFORE...HAVE HOISTED A
GALE WATCH.  SEAS WILL LIKELY BUILD TO 10 TO 15 FEET ACROSS THE
SOUTHERN OUTER-WATERS ON FRIDAY.

FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY...COLD ADVECTION BEHIND THE SYSTEM WILL
BRING STRONG NORTHWEST WIND GUSTS FRIDAY NIGHT.  THERE IS A MEDIUM
TO HIGH PROBABILITY FOR A PERIOD OF GALE FORCE GUSTS WHICH WE WILL
HIGHLIGHT IN THE HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK.  WINDS SHOULD DIMINISH
SOME ON SATURDAY...BUT 20 TO 25 KNOT NORTHWEST WIND GUSTS WILL
LIKELY CONTINUE IN THE COLD AIR ADVECTION PATTERN.

SATURDAY NIGHT...DIMINISHING WINDS AND SEAS.

SUNDAY-MONDAY...SMALL CRAFT WINDS AND SEAS DEVELOPING SUNDAY AND
CONTINUING MONDAY.  LOW CONFIDENCE POTENTIAL FOR WEST-NORTHWEST
GALES MONDAY NIGHT.
