Does anyone know of a good source for short term (24-36) surface wind
projections (direction and speed)?

I googled "new england" "surface winds" prediction and came up with some
interesting links but nothing that really applied.

Usually when I look for weather prediction I look at the NCEP models:

http://www.nco.ncep.noaa.gov/pmb/nwprod/analysis/

This doesn't do surface winds, but they do have winds at the 850 mB height
(about 500 ft). Things like this:

Hope this helps,

Closely related to what you are looking for and what I think is a
really neat site is the following:

http://www.arl.noaa.gov/ready/traj_neus.html

which gives forward and backward trajectories. In other words, you
can see where parcels of air originated that are arriving at/near your
location. Take a look at it and play with it for a while. You can
also see where aprcels orininating at/near your locale will be in 36
hours. Useful stuff and Its cool!

In fact, the READY (arl) site on the whole is an excellent WX site to
bookmark and look over!

I don't know if you were looking for graphical or tabular data, but
the experimental forecast goes out to 24 hours:

http://www.erh.noaa.gov/er/box/gfe/gridded.html

You can move around to adjacent weather offices.
