   Areas affected...Central New England

   Concerning...Winter mixed precipitation 

   Valid 040129Z - 040530Z

   SUMMARY...A wintry mix of sleet, freezing rain, and snow will
   continue across parts of central to western New England over the
   next several hours.

   DISCUSSION...Latest 01Z surface observations show the freezing line
   draped from northern PA, through southern NY, and into VT/NH. The
   freezing line has crept south slowly over the past 2 hours in tandem
   with the synoptic quasi-stationary boundary, and is expected to
   continue to drag south through Friday morning. However, temperatures
   ahead of the front have warmed slightly over the past hour, hinting
   that the southward progression of the freezing line may be slower
   than depicted by recent guidance. Regional radar mosaics show a
   broad swath of precipitation moving northeastward into the region,
   driven primarily by warm advection within a mid-level baroclinic
   zone. This forcing is forecast to persist over the coming hours, and
   given the persistent warm nose aloft (as sampled by the 00Z ALB
   sounding and recently noted in CC data from KBGM), a wintry mix of
   sleet and freezing rain will continue well into the night. Freezing
   rain accumulation up to 0.1 inch per hour may be possible for
   locations that linger in the narrow transition zone.
