WINTER WEATHER OUTLOOK
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
1115 AM EST SUN FEB 9 2003

..SNOW MONDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING MAY BE HEAVY FOR A TIME ACROSS
PARTS OF SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND...

THIS OUTLOOK STATEMENT COVERS RHODE ISLAND...NORTH CENTRAL AND
NORTHEAST CONNECTICUT...ALL OF MASSACHUSETTS EAST OF BERKSHIRE
COUNTY...AND SOUTHWEST NEW HAMPSHIRE.

A WIDESPREAD PLOWABLE SNOW EVENT IS LIKELY OVER MUCH OF SOUTHERN NEW
ENGLAND MONDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING.  A FEW AREAS MAY RECEIVE 6
INCHES OR MORE...AND A WINTER STORM WATCH MAY NEED TO BE ISSUED
IN THE 430 PM FORECAST FOR PART OF THE REGION.  EARLY INDICATIONS
SUGGEST THAT THE HEAVIEST SNOW MAY BE ACROSS INTERIOR SOUTHEAST
MASSACHUSETTS AS WELL AS RHODE ISLAND.

ONCE AGAIN...IT LOOKS LIKE THE SNOW WILL BE VERY POWDERY...EXCEPT
FOR THE IMMEDIATE SOUTH COAST OF RHODE ISLAND AND MASSACHUSETTS...
WHERE THE SNOW WILL LIKELY BE MUCH WETTER THAN THE LAST STORM.  THE
SNOW MAY EVEN BRIEFLY MIX WITH RAIN FOR A TIME ACROSS THE OUTER CAPE
AND NANTUCKET MONDAY EVENING.

IT APPEARS THE GREATEST IMPACT OF THIS STORM WILL BE SNOW FALLING
DURING THE MONDAY EVENING COMMUTE...ESPECIALLY FOR THE
WORCESTER...BOSTON...PROVIDENCE AND MANCHESTER AREAS.

A GREAT LAKES LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO TRANSFER ENERGY
INTO A NEW AND RAPIDLY INTENSIFYING GALE CENTER JUST SOUTHEAST OF
NANTUCKET LATE MONDAY. IN THE STORMS WAKE...A BITTERLY COLD WIND
WILL BE BRIEFLY FELT EARLY TUESDAY MORNING.

STILL ANOTHER STORM MAY PASS JUST SOUTHEAST OF NEW ENGLAND ON
WEDNESDAY...AND POSSIBLY BRING A QUICK SHOT OF ADDITIONAL SNOW TO
OUR REGION.

STAY TUNED TO NOAA WEATHER RADIO OR YOUR FAVORITE MEDIA OUTLET FOR
LATER INFORMATION ON THIS DEVELOPING WEATHER SITUATION.  THE NEXT
STATEMENT ON THIS SITUATION WILL PROBABLY BE ISSUED BETWEEN 4 PM AND
5 PM.
