251 PM EST THU DEC 28 2000

MAJOR WINTER STORM HEADED FOR THE NORTHEAST...THE BIG QUESTION IS
HOW WL IT AFFECT THE NORTH COUNTRY?!

ALL US MDLS VRY SMLR...SLOWER AND ACTUALLY APPEAR TO START THE
SYSTEM A BIT FURTHER WEST (INLAND) THAN PRVS MDL RUNS. TIGHT
CIRCULATION KEEPS VRY DISTINCT WAA FIELD CLOSE TO SFC LOW THRU
H+48...THUS DRY IN FA THRU 12Z SAT. AVN DOES SHW SOME LIFTING
OF THE SYSTEM BEYOND...THUS SN BREAKING OUT ACRS SRN FA AND PSBLY
REACHING NRN FA BY 00Z SUN.

MEANWHILE...GLOBAL TAKES SYSTEM "INLAND" TO NR KPOU ARD 00Z SUN
HAS IT VERTICALLY STACKED NR KLEB AT 12Z SUN. ATTM...WL DISREGARD
AND LEAN WITH AVN.

THAT BEING SAID...THIS EVENT BECOMES A 5TH/6TH PERIOD FCST PRBLM
THUS NO WATCHES ISSUED OR MAJOR DECISIONS NEEDED AT THIS TIME.
ATTM...DESPITE MORE INLAND TRACK...SRN FA WUD LKLY STAY BLO WSW
CRITERIA.

HWVR...SPSBTV WL LKLY BE NEEDED DUE TO MUCH "HYPED" EVENT BY MEDIA
OVR THE LAST FEW DAYS AND EVENT LKLY CONTS INTO NEW YEARS EVE
DAY AND NGT.

ATTM...FCST PRIMARILY BASED ON AVN THAT SLWLY LIFTS VERTICALLY
STACKED SYSTEM FM SOUTH OF LONG ISLAND (40N/72W) AT 00Z SUN TO EAST
OF CAPE (41N/68.5W) AT 12Z SUN TO NOVA SCOTIA BY 00Z MON. THE MAIN
EVENT IS ACRS SRN VT/CT RVR VLY BTWN 00-12Z SUN BUT WRAPARD ACRS
NRN VT/ADRNDKS CONTS INTO 00Z MON (NEW YEARS EVE).

MAX QPF ACRS SRN/ERN VT WITH PERHAPS 0.5 QPF...PSBL WNTR WX ADV
CRITERIA. NE VT WL BE THE BIG QUESTION...INITIAL ACTVTY LKLY
DELIVERING 0.4 QPF BUT FAMOUS WRAPARD ACTVTY LKLY SUN INTO SUN NGT
WHERE WSW AMTS CUD BE MET BUT OVR "L O N G" DURATION.

EQMNT: AWIPS HOSED DRG MIDSHFT AND MUCH OF DAYSHFT...JUST COMING
BACK AT 1915Z WITH LIMITED DATABASE. KALY/KGYX HAVE BEEN PROVIDING
BACK-UP AND MANY THANKS FOR THEIR ASSISTANCE. KALY...THX FOR COORD
OF WORKZONES (WE DID HAVE GRAPHICS...JUST NO TEXT STATIONS).

GIVEN THE ABV PRBLMS (ESP UNKNOWN DATABASE)...ZONES DONE VIA XNOW
AND WL MANUALLY TRY TO MANIPULATE FOR RDFBTV LATER ON IF DATABASE
EXIST.
