THEN FROM THE WEST...LIKELY AFFECTING THE REGION DURING THE FIRST
PART OF THE NEXT WORK WEEK.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SATURDAY MORNING/...
COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH THE CWA THIS EVENING WITH SOME COLD AIR
ADVECTION AND GUSTY WINDS BEHIND IT. CHC POPS THIS EVENING WITH
STILL A THREAT OF A RUMBLE OF THUNDER...THEN SOMEWHAT LOWER POPS
DURING THE OVERNIGHT AS UPPER LOW/SHORTWAVE APPROACHES.
&&

NEAR THE DELMARVA PENINSULA LATER IN THE DAY AND SLOWLY TRACK
NORTHWARD INTO NEW ENGLAND WHILE DEEPENING THROUGH TUE. DIFFERENCES
COME INTO PLAY BETWEEN THE EC AND GFS BY TUE MORNING WITH JUST HOW
FAST THE STORM LIFTS OUT OF THE NORTHEAST. HIGH PRESSURE MOVING
ACROSS THE NUNAVUT CANADIAN PROVINCE WILL BLOCK THE LOW FROM
ADVANCING...HOWEVER NOT BUYING HOW THE GFS RETROGRADES THE LOW INTO
THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES AND KEEPING IT SUPPRESSED OVER NEW ENGLAND
INTO THU.
WHILE THIS STORM IS STILL THREE DAYS AWAY...IT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO
PRODUCE BETWEEN 1 AND 2 INCHES OF RAIN.
DEEP CYCLONIC FLOW TUE WITH COLD FROPA SHOWERS PRIMARILY IN THE

SHORTWAVE LIFTING ACROSS THE AREA WHICH AGAIN COULD TRIGGER SOME
SHOWERS.
RIDGING THEN BUILDS IN FOR THE END OF THE WEEK...WITH THE NEXT STORM
SYSTEM APPROACHING FOR THE WEEKEND. LARGE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE 00Z
EC AND 12Z GFS...HOWEVER THE 12Z EC HAS JUST ARRIVED AND IS TRENDING
