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

THURSDAY...
HIGH PRES CENTER WILL MOVE OUT OF UPSTATE NY INTO NORTHERN NEW
ENGLAND DURING THE DAY. NW WINDS WILL START OUT SOMEWHAT GUSTY
MAINLY ACROSS NE MA EARLY IN THE MORNING...THEN WILL DIMINISH
DURING THE DAY. EXPECT MOSTLY SUNNY TO SUNNY SKIES THROUGH MOST
OF THE DAY.

WITH COLD AIRMASS IN PLACE...TEMPS WILL ONLY RECOVER TO THE MID
TO UPPER 20S ACROSS THE HIGHER INLAND TERRAIN...RANGING TO THE MID
30S ALONG THE COAST. THESE READINGS WILL RUN 10 TO 15 DEGREES
BELOW SEASONAL NORMALS FOR EARLY MARCH. LIGHT WINDS WILL START
TO SHIFT AROUND TO E-SE DURING THE AFTERNOON. SOME HIGH CLOUDS
WILL START TO SHIFT NE ACROSS CT/RI BY AROUND SUNSET.

AS THE HIGH STARTS TO SHIFT E DURING THE DAY...NOTING H5 SHORT
WAVE DIGGING INTO THE SE U.S. AS SURFACE LOW PRES MOVES ALONG IN
THE SOUTHERN STREAM. THE START OF SOMETHING INTERESTING PERHAPS...

THURSDAY NIGHT...

AS THE HIGH RIDGE SHIFTS E THU NIGHT...H5 SHORT WAVE STARTS TO
SHIFT E AS WELL. BIG QUESTIONS IN PLACE AS TO HOW FAR N THE
RESPONDING SURFACE LOW MOVING OFF THE CAROLINAS.

CLOUDS WILL INCREASE FROM SW-NE. THEN...LOOKS LIKE LIGHT SNOW
WILL START TO PUSH INTO SOUTHERN AREAS MAINLY AFTER MIDNIGHT. WITH
THE HIGH TO THE N...SHOULD BE A PRETTY SHARP CUTOFF LINE. AT THIS
POINT...ONLY CARRYING CHANCE POPS SOUTH OF THE MASS PIKE.
LIGHT/VRBL WINDS SHIFT AROUND TO E OVERNIGHT. QPF VALUES GENERALLY
LESS THAN 0.1 INCHES...SO NOT EXPECTING TOO MUCH TO START OFF.
BEYOND THIS WILL DEPEND UPON HOW THE DEVELOPING LOW PRES OFF THE
SE U.S. TRACKS.

WITH THE HIGH TO THE N...WILL REMAIN COLD. EXPECT LOWS AGAIN IN
THE TEENS TO LOWER 20S.

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...

HIGHLIGHTS...

* COASTAL STORM EXPECTED TO HAVE SOME IMPACT ON SRN NEW ENGLAND.
* BELOW NORMAL TEMPS THIS WEEKEND...THEN WARMING TREND THROUGH
  MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK

OVERVIEW AND MODEL PREFERENCES...

SYNOPTIC PATTERN LOOKS TO BECOME FAIRLY AMPLIFIED THROUGH THE MID
PORTION OF NEXT WEEK. THIS IS THANKS TO A PERSISTENT BUILDING OF W
COASTAL RIDGING IN RESPONSE TO CONTINUED DEEPENING OF THE ALEUTIAN
VORTEX. THIS THEN ALLOWS FOR A CONDUIT ACROSS THE ERN CONUS FOR
ARCTIC INFLUENCED SHORTWAVES TO IMPACT THE REGION...LEADING TO
ANOTHER BRIEF GASP OF WINTRY-LIKE CONDITIONS. HOWEVER...IF THERE
IS COLD TROF...THERE IS SOON TO BE A RIDGE. THIS LOOKS INDEED TO
BE THE CASE FOR NEXT WEEK AS THE PATTERN SHIFTS ALLOWING FOR DEEP
WARM ADVECTION WITHIN A BUILDING RIDGE TO FORCE THE ARCTIC TROF E.
EXPECT A TREND TOWARD MUCH WARMER CONDITIONS WITH THIS SHIFT.

THE FIRST WAVE TO WATCH IS ACTUALLY NOT EXPECTED TO FULLY PHASE
WITH THE ARCTIC TROUGH IN PLACE...AND AS SUCH THE COASTAL STORM IT
GENERATES LATE THU-FRI SHOULD REMAIN ABOUT 100NM OR FURTHER S OF
THE 40/70 BENCHMARK. STILL A BIT OF UNCERTAINTY IN THIS TRACK TO
MONITOR AS EVEN THE ECENS/GEFS ENSEMBLE LOW-CENTER CLUSTERING IS
NORTH OF THE MEAN. ALSO...SOME EVIDENCE OF INVERTED TROF
DEVELOPMENT AS THE ARCTIC WAVE LAGS THE INITIAL CYCLOGENETIC WAVE.
MORE ON THIS BELOW. FOR NOW...WILL LEAN CLOSER ON AN
ECMWF/GEFS/ECENS MEAN AS THE LATEST GFS IS STILL SLIGHTLY ON THE
NORTHERN PERIPHERY OF THE ENVELOPE FOR THE LATE WEEK COASTAL
STORM.

DETAILS...

FRI AND FRI NIGHT...
CONTINUING TO MONITOR COASTAL STORM PROJECTED TO REMAIN MAINLY
ABOUT 100NM SOUTH OF THE 40/70 BENCHMARK. AM A BIT CONCERNED ABOUT
THIS TRACK IN THAT CLUSTERING IN THE ENSEMBLES IS MAINLY NW OF THE
MEANS. ALTHOUGH WILL NOT INCLUDE THE GFS THIS RUN AS AN OUTLIER IT
BARES WATCHING. THE OTHER ISSUE AT HAND WILL BE HOW FOR NORTH THE
PRECIP SHIELD AND HEAVIER BANDING /AS THIS IS COLD ENOUGH TO BE
AN ALL SNOW EVENT/. GOOD BLOCKING SETUP WITH SLIGHT SHIFT IN
NAO/AO TOWARD NEGATIVE. WITH THE ARCTIC WAVE LAGGING...AND THE
UPPER LVL CUTOFF N OF THE MAIN LOW TRACK...COULD SEE SIMILAR SETUP
TO EARLY FEB SYSTEM IN WHICH HEAVIER BANDS WERE N OF THE PROGS.
INVERTED TROUGH DEVELOPMENT LIKELY DUE TO THIS LAG/UPPER LVL WAVE
SETUP. THUS...STILL TOO EARLY TO TALK EXACT NUMBERS...BUT FEEL
THAT S COASTAL REGIONS WILL SEE PLOWABLE AMOUNTS OF SNOW WHILE
AREAS FURTHER N WILL SEE A GRADIENT...BUT AT LEAST SOME
MEASURABLE POSSIBLE. UPPING POPS TO CATEGORICAL IN THESE AREAS
WITH A GRADIENT IN POPS FURTHER N. BUFKIT SUPPORTS DECENT LIFT IN
THE SNOW GROWTH REGIME AS FAR NW AS ORANGE/FITCHBURG...BUT IT IS
ENTIRELY POSSIBLE SOME AREAS OF NW SRN NEW ENGLAND SEE LITTLE TO
NO SNOWFALL.

DUE TO MODERATE CERTAINTY OF THE SNOW OVERACHIEVMENT FOR THE
CAPE/ISLANDS...WILL BE ISSUING A WINTER STORM WATCH AS THERE IS
THE POSSIBILITY IT WILL EXCEED 6 INCHES GIVEN QPF AMOUNTS FROM ALL
BUT THE CURRENT ECMWF.

THIS IS ALSO COINCIDENT WITH 60-70 KT H92 LLJ OUT OF THE EAST
WHICH COULD CLIP CAPE/ISLANDS AT LEAST AND PROMOTE STRONG GUSTY
WINDS TO ACCOMPANY THE SNOW. THEREFORE...WILL CONTINUE TO
HIGHLIGHT CAPE/ISLANDS AND IMMEDIATE S COASTAL LOCATIONS AS
HAVING POTENTIAL HIGHEST IMPACTS...WITH SOME POWER OUTAGES NOT OUT
OF THE QUESTION.

TIMING RELATIVELY WELL AGREED UPON...ITS A BIT SLOWER DUE TO THE
INVERTED TROUGH POTENTIAL...BUT MOST SHOULD BE OUT OF ANY
SNOW BANDS BY EARLY MORNING SAT.

HIGHEST ASTRONOMICAL TIDES NOT UNTIL NEXT WEEK AND THE PASSAGE OF
THIS STORM WELL TO THE S WILL MITIGATE SURGE POTENTIAL.
THEREFORE..CURRENTLY NOT FORECASTING ANY SIGNIFICANT COASTAL
FLOODING IMPACTS FROM THIS STORM.

SAT AND SUN...
COLDER MODIFIED ARCTIC AIRMASS WILL BE SETTLING ACROSS THE REGION
WITH BRISK NORTHERLY WINDS BEHIND THE EXITING LOW PRES DURING THE
DAY SAT. THIS WILL KEEP WIND CHILLS MAINLY IN THE 20S WHILE
AMBIENT HIGHS REMAIN IN THE 30S. OVERNIGHT MIN TEMPS SAT NIGHT
COULD FALL OFF THE TABLE AS MASS FIELDS SHOW ENOUGH SLACKENING IN
THE PRES GRADIENT AND CLEAR SKIES TO SUPPORT GOOD RADIATIONAL
COOLING. WILL BE COLDER THAN MOST GUIDANCE WITH THIS
UPDATE...MAINLY IN THE TEENS AND 20S. TEMPS MAY DROP A BIT MORE ON
SUN AS CORE OF MODIFIED AIRMASS MOVES OVER WITH H92 TEMPS DROPPING
TO AROUND -4C. WILL GO WITH COOLER 2M TEMPS AS A RESULT.

MON INTO MID NEXT WEEK...
SLOW RIDGE BUILDING LEADS TO WARM ADVECTION AND A TREND TOWARD
CONDITIONS MUCH WARMER THAN MID MARCH NORMALS. H5 HEIGHTS TOP OUT
AT ALMOST 580DM BY WED. H92 TEMPS IN THE MEANTIME INCREASE TO AN
AVERAGE AROUND +2C MON...7C ON WED...THEN +12C BY WED. THIS IS
ASSUMING THAT WEAK SHORTWAVES WITHIN THE NRN STREAM DO NOT FULLY
MANIFEST THEMSELVES AS A BACKDOOR COLD FRONT...A POSSIBILITY
HINTED AT IN THE LATEST ECMWF. THIS WILL HAVE TO BE WATCHED...AS
IT COULD BE THE ONE DAMPER FROM THE POSSIBILITY OF THE WARMEST
WEATHER WE HAVE SEEN IN SOME TIME.

FRI AND FRI NIGHT...HIGH CONFIDENCE.

BE NEEDED. SOME SNOW/RAIN WILL YIELD LOW VSBYS.

LINGERING SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CONDITIONS EXPECTED WITH NW FLOW
GUSTING 25-35 MPH THROUGH THE DAYTIME HOURS SAT. IT WILL LIKELY
TAKE WELL INTO SUN FOR SEAS TO DIMINISH BELOW 5 FT. SO CONDITIONS
