THANKS ALY FOR THE BACKUP TODAY.  FORECAST LOOKS GOOD AND QUICK
PEEK AT NEW MODEL SUGGEST LEAVING WATCH AREAS AND SNOW AMOUNTS ALONE
FOR NOW. WITH SIG PRECIPITATION NOT EXPECTED UNTIL FRIDAY AFT/EVE
THROUGH EARLY SAT AM AND NO AVIATION GUIDANCE YET, WILL LEAVE AS
WATCH FOR NOW. STILL SOME QUESTIONS ON THE EXACT LOCATION OF HEAVIER
PRECIP. IT LOOKS LIKE A BORDERLINE WARNING EVENT IN MOST
LOCATIONS..IE AROUND 6 INCHES IS A GOOD BET. HOWEVER, BEST BETS LOOKS
LIKE LIKE RUTLAND...WINDSOR AND ORANGE COUNTIES WOULD STAND TO GET
THE MOST SNOW.

SOME LIGHT SNOW OR FLURRIES OVERNIGHT TONIGHT WITH TEMPERATURES
IN THE MID 20S TO LOWER 30S. THIS BAND OF SNOW SHOULD PRODUCE JUST
A DUSTING TO AN INCH AT MOST AND BE DONE BY 09Z. THEN JUST
CLOUDY WITH SNOW DEVELOPING MAINLY IN THE AFTERNOON TOMORROW
BECOMING MODERATE TO HEAVY TOWARD EVENING LASTING THE
EARLY MORNING HOURS OF SATURDAY.


AWIPS SOFTWARE UPGRADE COMPLETE AND NEW DATA IS FLOWING IN...BUT

                            Forecast Discussion

   A WINTER STORM WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED BY THE NWS and is in EFFECT FROM
   FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY MORNING. A watch means heavy snowfall is
   possible but not yet cretain. What we are certain of is that we will
   pick up anywhere from 4-7 inches of snow by the time this ends on
   Saturday morning. If heavy snowfall becomes more certain, a Winter
   Storm Warning will be issued, but as it stands right now only a WINTER
   STORM WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED. Do take care and precaution tomorrow if
   you do have to go out. Also if you are heading South, make sure you
   give yourself some extra time, as they will pick up 5-10 inches across
   Southern Vermont.
