Hello to all...

...Winter Storm Warning Posted for Massachusetts, Rhode Island and
Connecticut for Tonight and Wednesday...
...Winter Storm Watch Remain in Effect for Southern New Hampshire....
...The Wednesday Morning Commute Will Be Severely Impacted By This
Storm....
...SKYWARN Self-Activation Likely Wednesday. NWS Taunton Operations Not
Expected but is still being monitored in future forecasts....

A Winter Storm Warning is now posted for Massachusetts, Rhode Island and
Connecticut for tonight and Wednesday. Snow will begin in Western
Massachusetts and Connecticut this evening and become heavy at times by
Midnight. Snow will begin in Eastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island by
around Midnight and become heavy at times 2-4 hours before daybreak. The
snow may start as a brief period of sleet over the Outer Cape, Nantucket
and
Block Island but the precipitation will quickly changeover to snow. Snow
will then continue through late afternoon Wednesday across the region.
Total
storm accumilations will be 6-12 inches from the Greater Boston
Metropolitan
area and Eastern Norfolk County, through Essex, Middlesex, Northern and
Central Worcester County, Franklin and Hampshire Counties of Western
Massaschusetts. Across Hampden Southern Worcester and Western Norfolk
Counties of Massachusetts through Rhode Island and Connecticut, all of
Southeast Massachusetts including Cape Cod and the Islands, 8-15" of snow
is
expected. There will be enough wind to cause blowing and/or drifting snow
across much of the region.

A Winter Storm Watch remains in effect for Southern New Hampshire for
tonight and Wednesday. It is difficult to determine at this time where
the
sharp drop off between heavy snow and light snow will occur and Southern
New
Hampshire is right on the line for the heavier snowfall versus lighter
snowfall so a watch is continued for this area. Current projections of
4-8"
of snow remain possible but these amounts could be less depending on
where
the drop off between heavy snow and lighter snow occurs.

SKYWARN Self-Activation is likely Wednesday for snowfall totals. The
hardest
hit area in the region is expected to be the region from the Mass. Pike
South through the south coasts of Rhode Island, Connecticut and
Massachusetts including Cape Cod and the Islands. The Wednesday Morning
Commute will be severely impacted with heavy snow, some blowing and
drifting
and several inches of snow accumilation already on the ground. No NWS
Taunton Operations are expected at this time, since no snow/wind damage
is
expected but there is a chance that we may activate the W1AEC, Southeast
Mass. Amateur Radio Association Club Station for this event or coordinate
the situation with several home stations. We will continue to evaluate
the
need for NWS Taunton Ops as we get closer to this event. Spotters are
requested to report snowfall every 2" and final amounts to NWS Taunton
for
this storm.

Another coordination message will be issued by 11:30 PM this evening.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED CODING
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
615 AM EST TUE JAN 27 2004

.SHORT TERM...
TODAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY
MODELS COMING INTO AGREEMENT WITH SOLUTION ON OHIO VALLEY LOW AND
COASTAL STORM. DO HAVE DRY AIR IN PLACE TO CONTEND WITH BUT DURING
THE DAY THE LOW LEVELS SHOULD MOISTEN UP. CURRENT RADAR LOOP
REFECTIVITY PICKING UP ALTO CU DECK AND NOTED OBS DO NOT INDICATE
ANY PCPN YET. PCPN SLOWED DOWN AGAIN BY MODELS BUT EXPECT ONSET OF
PCPN NOW TIMED FOR LATE THIS AFTERNOON WESTERN MASS AND WESTERN
CT...THIS EVENING FOR RI...THEN BETWEEN 7 AND 11PM EVERYWHERE ELSE.
THE LAST TO SEE ONSET WOULD BE NE MASS AND HILLSBOROUGH CTY NH AFTER
06Z.

MODELS SHOWING EXCELLENT 500-300MB DIFFLUENCE BY 06Z WED COMBINED
WITH GOOD 700MB DEFORMATION ZONE AND STRONG OMEGA...ESPECIALLY
STRONG OMEGA ALONG SOUTH COAST.  ALSO BEST 850-700MB 2D
FRONTOGENESIS ACROSS ALL BUT NH AROUND 06Z TOO. MODELS DO SHOW
850-700MB CRITICAL THICKNESS OF 1540 MAKING IT TO A CQX-BID
LINE...AND ETA BUFKIT SHOWS SLEET AT THE ONSET FOR ACK TO BID...BUT
WITH SUCH STRONG UPWARD VERTICAL MOTION ALONG SOUTH COAST...EXPECT
DYNAMIC COOLING TO YIELD SNOW...OR QUICKLY CHANGE ANY SLEET TO SNOW.
AND WITH ALL THE DYNAMICS COMING TOGETHER...EXPECT MOST SNOW FALL TO
OCCUR TONIGHT.

AND DO EXPECT SNOW TO CONTINUE INTO WEDNESDAY AS 700-300MB CLOSED
LOWS MOVE NEARLY OVERHEAD.  UNSTABLE ENOUGH TO SQUEEZE MORE SNOW
AMOUNTS. SNOW TO END BY LATE DAY WEDNESDAY.

WILL GO WITH WINTER STORM WARNINGS FOR ALL OF MASS...RI...AND CT
ZONES.  NORTH OF THE MASS PIKE EXPECT STORM TOTAL THROUGH DAYS END
WEDNESDAY OF 6 TO 12 INCHES...THIS INCLUDES THE FLUFF FACTOR AS
TEMPS TONIGHT WILL DROP INTO THE TEENS TO AROUND 20...THEN WED HIGHS
ONLY IN THE LOW TO MID 20S.  SOUTH OF THE MASS PIKE WILL GO WITH
BLANKET 8 TO 15 INCHES...BASICALLY AROUND A FOOT OF SNOW...A FEW
INCHES EITHER WAY. AS FOR NH ZONES...EXPECT THERE TO BE A DRAMATIC
DEMARCATION LINE OF SNOW TOTALS ALONG THE BORDER WITH MASS. PLAN TO
KEEP THEM IN A WATCH...BECAUSE AM NOT CONFIDENT IN EITHER HOISTING A
WARNING THERE OR GOING WITH ADVISORY. THINKING IS TO LET DAYSHIFT
DETERMINE AND CONSIDERING MOST OF THE SNOW WILL OCCUR IN THE 2ND AND
3RD PERIODS THERE...THERE STILL IS TIME. OF COURSE ONE COULD ARGUE
THE SAME FOR NORTHEAST MASS...BUT IT MAKES SENSE TO JUST INCLUDE
THEM WITH THE REST OF MASS.
&&

.LONG TERM...
WED NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY
THE LONG TERM IS RELATIVELY QUIET COMPARED TO TONIGHT AND
WEDNESDAY. NORTHWEST FLOW LINGERS WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY...
WITH A WEAK RIDGE BUILDING INTO NEW ENGLAND THURSDAY NIGHT.

A CLIPPER SYSTEM SWINGS EAST SPREADING CLOUDS IN THURSDAY NIGHT WITH
THE SYSTEM PASSING THROUGH ON FRIDAY.  THERE IS SOME DISAGREEMENT
BETWEEN GFS AND GEM GLOBAL WITH THE GFS TRACKING THE LOW OVER OUR
HEADS WHILE THE GLOBAL IS FARTHER SOUTH.  GEM SOLUTION IS ALSO
DRIER.  WILL GO WITH A COMPROMISE...TRACKING THE LOW FARTHER SOUTH
THAN THE GFS.  A PURE GFS SOLUTION WOULD BRING A CHANCE OF MIXED
PRECIPITATION TO AT LEAST THE SOUTH COAST FRIDAY...BUT WITH A MORE
SOUTHERN TRACK WE WILL EXPECT ALL SNOW ON FRIDAY.  AS IS TYPICAL
WITH CLIPPERS...SNOWFALL WILL BE LIGHTER THAN THAN WITH THE SHORT
TERM STORM.  BUT WITH SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND IN THE OVERRUNNING ZONE...
WE ARE EXPECTING AT LEAST A COUPLE OF INCHES.

THE CLIPPER DEEPENS AS IT REACHES THE COAST.  THE INCREASED WIND
AFTER PASSAGE SHOULD BE ENOUGH TO DRAW ANOTHER COLD BURST OF AIR.

ADJUSTED THE SKY COVER AND POP GRIDS A LITTLE FROM THE PREVIOUS
FORECAST...BUT WHILE THE DETAILS MAY CHANGE THE STORY SHOULD REMAIN
THE SAME.  GFS MOS TEMPS FOR THURSDAY SEEMED A LITTLE WARM
CONSIDERING THE -14C AT 850 MB.  ADJUSTED THURSDAY TO SATURDAY
TEMPERATURES DOWN 2-3F.  MIN TEMPERATURES IN SOUTHWEST NH AND NW
MASSACHUSETTS FOR THAT PERIOD MAY STILL BE FORECAST TOO WARM...WILL
NEED TO REEVALUATE THIS ON LATER PACKAGES.
&&

.MARINE...
GALES TO DEVELOP TONIGHT MAINLY FROM PROVINCETOWN-ACK-MONTAUK...
WITH SCA ELSEWHERE.

WITH A RESPECTABLE WINTER STORM AND ITS STEADY NORTHEAST WIND RUNNING
UP AGAINST THE SHORE...WILL THERE BE A RISK OF COASTAL FLOODING
TONIGHT/WEDNESDAY?  HIGH TIDES FOR BOSTON ARE EXPECTED BE AROUND 9 TO
9.3 FEET...AND WITH A 1 FOOT SURGE PREDICTED.  THAT GIVES US A
BREATHING SPACE OF A COUPLE OF FEET BELOW FLOOD STAGE.  SO WE DO NOT
LOOK AT COASTAL FLOODING AS A CONCERN.

IN THE WAKE OF THE STORM...NORTHWEST WINDS WILL PICK WEDNESDAY NIGHT
AND THURSDAY.  PER GFS BUFKIT SOUNDINGS...SUSTAINED WINDS IN THE
MID 20S LOOK REASONABLE WITH GUSTS IN THE MID AND UPPER 30S MIXING TO
THE SURFACE ESPECIALLY ON THURSDAY.  THE PRESSURE GRADIENT RELAXES
THURSDAY NIGHT AND SO WILL THE WINDS.

NEXT CONCERN WILL BE PASSAGE OF THE CLIPPER FRIDAY WITH
INTENSIFICATION TO OUR EAST.  THE INCREASED PRESSURE GRADIENT ALONG
WITH GOOD COLD ADVECTION OVER THE WATERS (AND RESULTING MIXING OF
STRONGER WINDS DOWN TO THE SURFACE) WILL MEAN INCREASING NORTH AND
NORTHWEST WINDS FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY.  LOOKS LIKE ANOTHER
POTENTIAL GALE WITH SUSTAINED WINDS AROUND 30 KTS AND GUSTS TO AROUND
40 KTS.
&&

.AVIATION...
VFR THROUGH 21Z...EXCEPT MVFR CEILINGS THIS AFTERNOON FOR
PVD/HYA/ACK. AFTER 21Z...BDL AND BAF GO TO MVR DUE TO CEILINGS AND

IN MVFR AND/OR IFR CATEGORIES.
