...POTENTIAL FOR 6 OR MORE INCHES OF SNOW AT HIGHER ELEVATIONS
BEGINNING THURSDAY AFTERNOON INTO FRIDAY...

.A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL MOVE EASTWARD FROM THE EASTERN GREAT
LAKES REGION TONIGHT...AND THEN STALL ACROSS CENTRAL AND EASTERN
NEW ENGLAND DURING THE DAY THURSDAY. MEANWHILE...AN UPPER LEVEL
DISTURBANCE MOVING NORTHEAST FROM THE TENNESSEE RIVER VALLEY WILL
RESULT IN A RAPIDLY DEVELOPING AREA OF SURFACE LOW PRESSURE ALONG
THE FRONT LATE THURSDAY INTO THURSDAY NIGHT OVER EASTERN NEW
ENGLAND. AS COLD AIR FILTERS IN AT LOW-LEVELS...DEVELOPING
PRECIPITATION WEST OF THE SURFACE LOW CENTER WILL CHANGE FROM RAIN
TO SNOW ACROSS THE NORTH COUNTRY. THE CHANGEOVER WILL OCCUR FIRST
IN THE ADIRONDACKS...AND THEN GRADUALLY MOVE TO THE GREEN
MOUNTAINS AND LOWER ELEVATIONS OF NORTHERN NEW YORK AND VERMONT
DURING THURSDAY NIGHT. THE TIMING OF THE CHANGEOVER SUGGESTS THE
POTENTIAL FOR 6 OR MORE INCHES OF SNOW OVER THE NORTHERN
ADIRONDACK REGION AS WELL AS NORTHERN VERMONT AND THE WESTERN
SLOPES OF THE GREEN MOUNTAINS...RESULTING IN HAZARDOUS TRAVEL
CONDITIONS LATE THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY. LESSER SNOW AMOUNTS ARE

TOTAL SNOW ACCUMULATIONS WILL DEPEND PRIMARILY ON HOW QUICKLY COLD
AIR CAN MOVE INTO VERMONT WHILE A SURFACE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM
DEVELOPS RAPIDLY OVER EASTERN NEW ENGLAND LATE THURSDAY INTO
THURSDAY NIGHT. THERE REMAINS SOME UNCERTAINTY...BUT THE POTENTIAL
EXISTS FOR 5 TO 9 INCHES OF SNOW IN THE WINTER STORM WATCH AREA...WITH
ISOLATED 10 INCH AMOUNTS IN THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS ACROSS THE
