DISCUSSION...Heavy snow is ongoing to the north of a strong low-level cyclone that is currently traversing the Atlantic Coastline. Regional dual-polarimetric radar data depicts the transition line between all snow and mixed wintry precipitation to be established from roughly the MA/VT border to central Penobscot County, ME, and the latest high-resolution model guidance suggests that this transition line should remain roughly stationary into the evening hours. 700 mb frontogenesis is increasing along the international border in tandem with increasing low-level WAA, and this should encourage increased snowfall rates as moisture and lift are boosted within the dendritic growth zone. 1-2 inch/hr snowfall rates are possible, especially later this evening (i.e. the 00-05Z time frame). ...Squitieri.. 03/23/2024 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!9h5NiE_9fQlX6Ljfx-vMRHs85suNzRKxfsrGFGsKMLDgQcT6b5an-ix35coteGMXall7IzIe5= tKAY6axu1bfj_gpVCI$ for graphic product...
