CONFIDENCE CONTINUES TO INCREASE IN THE POTENTIAL FOR A VERY
SIGNIFICANT WINTER STORM FRIDAY INTO EARLY SATURDAY. WHILE LIGHT
SNOW MAY HAVE DEVELOPED FRIDAY MORNING...THE WORST OF THE STORM
LOOKS TO OCCUR FRIDAY AFTERNOON INTO EARLY SATURDAY.

THE EXACT DETAILS OF THE STORM REMAIN UNCERTAIN SINCE THE EVENT IS
STILL 72 HOURS IN THE FUTURE. HOWEVER...THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR
A FOOT OR MORE OF SNOW IN SOME LOCATIONS. THE MAIN UNCERTAINTY AT
THIS POINT IS HOW FAR WEST THE HEAVIEST SNOW WILL REACH INTO THE
DISTANT INTERIOR. THE OTHER CONCERN IS WILL THERE BE ANY MIXING
ALONG THE COASTAL PLAIN THAT WOULD CUT DOWN ON POTENTIAL SNOW
ACCUMULATIONS.

IN ADDITION...THERE IS A MODERATE TO HIGH PROBABILITY THAT A
PERIOD OF STRONG WINDS WILL REQUIRE THE NEED FOR WIND HEADLINES
ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE COASTAL PLAIN LATE FRIDAY INTO EARLY
SATURDAY.

FINALLY...THERE IS A MODERATE TO HIGH PROBABILITY THAT A ROUND OR
TWO OF MINOR TO MODERATE COASTAL FLOODING WILL OCCUR ALONG THE
EASTERN MASSACHUSETTS COASTLINE DURING HIGH TIDE FRIDAY NIGHT
AND AGAIN SATURDAY MORNING.
