&&.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM TUESDAY/...TONIGHT INTO TUESDAY...A RATHER TRICKY FORECAST IS IN THE CARDS TONIGHT INTO TUE MORNING ASA NORLUN TROUGH SETS UP. THESE TROUGHS ARE NOTORIOUS FOR SIGNIFICANTBUSTS EVEN IN THE VERY SHORT TERM.  THE PROBLEM IS THAT THEY OFTENRESULT IN VERY NARROW BANDS OF HEAVY SNOWFALL THAT ARE TOO MESOSCALEIN NATURE FOR THE MODELS TO HANDLE.  THEN THE REST OF THE REGION ISJUST LEFT WITH A LIGHT SNOWFALL.IN THIS CASE...THE GLOBAL MODELS ARE PROBABLY UNDER DOING THE QPF INASSOCIATION WITH THIS SYSTEM AS A RESULT OF THEIR LOWER RESOLUTIONS.MEANWHILE...SOME OF THE MESOSCALE MODELS ARE INDICATING POTENTIALFOR LOCALIZED BANDING.  THE PROBLEM IS THAT THEIR UNABLE TO LOCATEWITH ENOUGH ACCURACY WHERE THESE BANDS WILL SETUP.AFTER LOOKING AT SOME OF THE HIGH RESOLUTION MODELS THEY SEEM TO PINTWO AREAS FOR THE POTENTIAL OF HIGHER SNOW ACCUMULATIONS.  ONE AREASEEMS TO TRACK ALONG THE SOUTH COAST AND INTO THE FAR SOUTHEAST NEWENGLAND COAST TONIGHT.  THERE ALSO APPEARS TO BE A SECOND AREA THATMAY DEVELOP TOWARD DAYBREAK ACROSS FAR NORTHEAST MA.  NOW SOMEMODELS HAVE THAT AREA REMAINING TO OUR NORTH OR NORTHEAST OVER THEOCEAN...ITS JUST IMPOSSIBLE TO SAY AT THIS POINT BECAUSE ITS AMESOSCALE SITUATION.  SEVERAL OF THE LATEST NAM MODEL RUNS SHOW VERYINTENSE SNOWGROWTH OF 40 TO 50 MICROBARS PER SECOND IN THESEBANDS...SO ITS CRUCIAL WHERE EXACTLY THEY SETUP.WE DECIDED TO KEEP THE WINTER STORM WATCH FOR FAR NORTHEAST MA ANDPORTIONS OF THE FAR SOUTHEAST NEW ENGLAND COAST.  THESE GENERALAREAS SEEMED TO HAVE THE BEST SHOT AT RECEIVING A SWATH OF 4 TO 8INCHES OF SNOW.  AGAIN THOUGH...IF THE BANDS SET UP JUST OFFSHORE ORTO THE NORTH OF OUR REGION SNOWFALL AMOUNTS WILL ONLY BE A FEWINCHES.  THEREFORE...CONFIDENCE WAS CERTAINLY NOT HIGH ENOUGH TOUPGRADE TO WINTER STORM WARNINGS AT THIS TIME. AS FOR THE BOSTON TOPROVIDENCE CORRIDOR...WE ENDED UP GOING WITH A WINTER WEATHERADVISORY AS THERE ARE INDICATIONS THAT THESE LOCATIONS MAY BE INBETWEEN THE TWO HEAVIER BANDS.AS FOR THE REST OF THE REGION...WERE LOOKING AT A GENERAL 1 TO 3INCHES OF SNOW SO NO HEADLINES AT THIS TIME.  ITS POSSIBLE LATERSHIFTS MAY HAVE TO ADD SOME MORE COUNTIES TO THE ADVISORY...BUTTHERE IS TIME TO DO THAT.THE BULK OF THE SNOW SHOULD COME TO AN END TUESDAY MORNING.ALTHOUGH THERE ARE SOME INDICATIONS THINGS COULD LAST A BIT LONGERACROSS THE NORTH SHORE...AS WELL AS THE CAPE/NANTUCKET WITH SOMEOCEAN ENHANCEMENT POSSIBLE.  IT SHOULD TURN QUITE WINDY AS THE STORMDEPARTS TUE MORNING AND MORE VERY COLD AIR RUSHES INTO THE REGION.&&
