EVENT...MOD SNOWS CONTINUING AS COASTAL LOW STRENGTHENS
.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...CONTOUR OF SFC PRESSURES OVER THE NE
SHOWS INTERIOR LOW ABOUT 75 MILES NNE OF KSLK AND COASTAL LOW DEEPENING
ESE OF KACK..NOW AT 992.5 MB. COASTAL LOW HAS FORMED WITHIN A S/WV
SURGE OF MOISTURE THAT IS MOVING NEWD ALONG THE MID-ATLANTIC/NEW ENGLAND
COASTLINE. EARLIER POLAR STLT PASSES SHOWED PW VALUES OF 1.4-1.7" IN THE
PLUME BUT THE CELLS ASSCD WITH THIS MOISTURE HAVE MOVED FARTHER OUT INTO
THE ATLANTIC. HOWEVER SOME MOD MOISTURE IS AVAILABLE IN THE S/WV..BETWEEN
.8-1.3" PW VALUES. STLT WINDS SHOW A 130KT JET MAX CENTERED OVER THE NJ
COAST AND ORIENTED W-E THAT DOES NOT PRESENT FAVORABLE FLOW FOR MOISTURE
TRANSPORT AROUND THE COASTAL LOW INTO ME. THAT SAID THOUGH..STILL EXPECT
HEAVIEST PRECIP OVER THE NEXT FEW HRS WILL BE OVER SE/CENTRAL/NRN ME AS
WHATS LEFT OF THE MOISTURE LIFTS NEWD WITH THE COASTAL LOW. VIS IMAGERY
SHOWS SOME ENHANCEMENT OF CLOUD TOPS OVER THE STRATUS DECK INDICATING
THE STRONGER CELLS WHICH APPEAR TO BE IN TWO MAIN BANDS..ONE THICK BAND
STRETCHING FROM NW-SE ACROSS W CENTRAL ME AND THE SECOND ONE COMING
ACROSS SW VT/S AND W NH. FOR THE MOST PART..PRECIP SHOULD REMAIN IN THE
FORM OF SNOW WITH THE COLD AIR STILL IN PLACE ACROSS THE INTERIOR NE..THE
EXCEPTION BEING CLOSE TO THE COAST WHERE MIXED PRECIP IS MORE LIKELY.
