AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CARIBOU ME
1001 AM EST WED DEC 28 2005

.SYNOPSIS...HIGH PRESSURE WILL SLIDE EAST OF THE AREA LATER TODAY.
ANOTHER LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL APPROACH THE REGION FROM THE WEST
TONIGHT WITH A SECOND AREA OF LOW PRESSURE FORECAST TO DEVELOP
NEAR NEW JERSEY ON THURSDAY AND MOVE NORTHEAST ALONG THE MAINE
COAST. THIS LOW WILL LIFT ACROSS THE CANADIAN MARITIMES ON FRIDAY.

&&

.SHORT TERM (REST OF TODAY)...
UPDATED FOR TEMPS. CLOUD COVER MOVED IN A BIT QUICKER THAN PREVIOUSLY
EXPECTED SLOWING TEMPERATURE RECOVERY. WILL KNOCK BACK TEMPS
ACROSS THE NORTHERN ZONES ABOUT 10 DEGREES AND ABOUT 5 DEGREES
ACROSS CENTRAL AND DOWNEAST MAINE.

&&

.PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
(ISSUED 421 AM EST WED DEC 28 2005)

SYNOPSIS...HIGH PRESSURE WILL SLIDE EAST OF THE AREA LATER TODAY.
ANOTHER LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL APPROACH THE REGION FROM THE WEST
TONIGHT WITH A SECOND AREA OF LOW PRESSURE FORECAST TO DEVELOP
NEAR NEW JERSEY ON THURSDAY AND MOVE NORTHEAST ALONG THE MAINE
COAST. THIS LOW WILL LIFT ACROSS THE CANADIAN MARITIMES ON FRIDAY.

SHORT TERM (TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY)...
THE MAIN CONCERN IN THE SHORT TERM IS THE POTENTIAL FOR A
SIGNIFICANT ICING EVENT FOR PARTS OF NORTHERN MAINE THURSDAY
AFTERNOON INTO FRIDAY.

WEAK SURFACE RIDGE WILL MOVE EAST TODAY. THIS WILL RESULT IN DRY
WEATHER CONDITIONS ACROSS THE REGION TODAY. CLOUDS WILL BE ON THE
INCREASE LATER TODAY AND TONIGHT IN THE DEVELOPING WARM ADVECTION
PATTERN ALOFT. WILL INCREASE POPS LATE TONIGHT ESPECIALLY ACROSS
THE NORTH AS MOISTURE AND LIFT INCREASES IN RESPONSE TO THE WARM
ADVECTION PATTERN. EXPECT MAINLY SNOW ACROSS THE NORTH WITH A MIX
ACROSS THE CENTRAL AND DOWNEAST AREAS. ANY PRECIPITATION THAT
FALLS TONIGHT WILL BE ON THE LIGHT SIDE WITH ANY SNOW ACCUMULATION
ACROSS THE NORTH GENERALLY AN INCH OR TWO. LATER SHIFT MAY NEED TO
CONSIDER WINTER WX ADVISORY FOR CENTRAL AND INTERIOR DOWNEAST
ZONES WHERE THERE COULD BE SOME MIXED PRECIPITATION LATE TONIGHT.

ON THURSDAY LOW PRESSURE WILL REDEVELOP ALONG THE MID ATLANTIC
COAST AND THEN MOVE NORTHEAST ALONG THE MAIN COAST DURING FRIDAY.
BOTH THE NAM AND THE GFS SHOW THE MID AND LOW LEVEL THICKNESS VALUES
INCREASING ACROSS THE REGION DURING THE AFTERNOON. THIS WILL
RESULT IN A MAINLY RAIN EVENT FOR CENTRAL AND DOWNEAST AREAS.
HOWEVER ACROSS THE NORTH IT WILL BE DIFFICULT TO SCOUR OUT THE
COLD AIR NEAR THE SURFACE ESPECIALLY IN THE SAINT JOHN VALLEY
REGION WITH FRESH DEEP SNOW PACK IN PLACE. BOTH THE MET/GFS MOS
GUIDANCE ALSO SUGGESTING SURFACE TEMPS REMAIN BLO FREEZING
DURING THURSDAY. THIS MAY RESULT IN A PROLONGED FREEZING RAIN
EVENT ACROSS PARTS OF THE AREA. THUS WILL ISSUE WINTER STORM WATCH
FOR ZONES 1>4 FOR THURSDAY AFTER AND INTO FRIDAY FOR POTENTIAL
SIGNIFICANT ICING EVENT.

LONG TERM (THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY)...
WE COULD BE LOOKING AT ICING ACROSS FAR N & NWRN AREAS REACHING
ABV .50 INCHES BY THURSDAY NIGHT. THIS COULD LEAD TO SOME PROBLEMS IN
THESE AREAS SUCH AS POWER OUTAGES & VERY HAZARDOUS DRIVING
CONDITIONS. HPC WWD GRAPHICS POINTING NEAR .75 INCHES IN THE ST.
JOHN VLY.

AFTER LOOKING AT LATEST GUIDANCE...USED A BLEND OF THE
GFS/ECMWF/UKMET & THE NAM WITH THIS SYSTEM. LOOKING FOR FREEZING
PRECIPITATION ACROSS THE FAR NORTH TO GO BACK TO SNOW THURSDAY
NIGHT AS COLDER AIR GETS PULLED IN BEHIND THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM
LIFTING NORTHWARD ALONG EASTERN MAINE. ELSEWHERE...LIQUID PRECIP
WILL GRADUALLY CHANGE OVER THE SNOW OVERNIGHT. MADE SOME
MODIFICATIONS IN TEMPS/DWPTS THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY ON THE
UPWARD END.

A BRIEF REPRIEVE COMES LATE FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY AS HIGH PRES
SLIDES IN FROM ERN CANADA. ANOTHER LOW PRES SYSTEM IS PROGGED TO
MOVE THROUGH THE REGION ON SUNDAY. NO CHANGES WERE MADE BEYOND
FRIDAY NIGHT FOR CONSISTENCY PURPOSES.

AVIATION...
GENERALLY VFR CONDITIONS RIGHT THROUGH 24 HRS.

MARINE...
WILL EXTEND SCA THRU EARLY THIS MORNING FOR BOTH WINDS/SEAS.
WINDS/SEAS WILL SUBSIDE LATER TODAY AND TONIGHT. EXPECT WINDS/SEAS
TO INCREASE ONCE AGAIN TO SCA LEVELS DURING THURSDAY.

IN THE LONGER TERM...NOT LOOKING FOR GALES THU NIGHT INTO FRIDAY
AS SPEEDS COULD ACTUALLY LET UP FOR A TIME AS THE LOW MOVES ALONG
THE ERN SEABOARD. SPEEDS WILL PICK UP AGAIN ON FRI AS NW WINDS INC
ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE LOW.

CAR WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
ME...WINTER STORM WATCH FOR MEZ001>004 FROM 10 AM THURSDAY TO 1 PM
     FRIDAY.

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR NORTHERN AND EASTERN MAINE.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT

SNOW WILL MOVE INTO THE REGION AFTER MIDNIGHT. THE SNOW WILL
MIX WITH AND CHANGE TO A PERIOD OF SLEET AND FREEZING RAIN ACROSS
EASTERN AREAS WITH ICE ACCUMULATIONS LESS THAN ONE TENTH OF AN
INCH. SNOWFALL ACCUMULATIONS ACROSS NORTHERN AND CENTRAL AREAS
WILL BE ON THE ORDER OF 1 TO 2 INCHES.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY
A WINTER STORM WATCH IS IN EFFECT FOR NORTHERN MAINE FROM THURSDAY
MORNING UNTIL FRIDAY AFTERNOON FOR POSSIBLE ICE ACCUMULATION OF
ONE HALF AN INCH OR GREATER. ON TOP OF THAT WILL BE THE
POSSIBILITY OF SIGNIFICANT SNOWFALL ACROSS FAR NORTHERN MAINE FROM
STOCKHOLM AND NEW SWEDEN AREAS INTO THE SAINT JOHN VALLEY AS
COLDER AIR WORKS BACK IN THURSDAY NIGHT. PLEASE REFER TO THE
STATEMENT /PWMSWSCAR/ ISSUED BY THIS OFFICE.

WARMER AIR WORKING IN WILL ACROSS DOWNEAST AND COASTAL MAINE WILL
LEAD TO SUBSTANTIAL RAINFALL WITH UP TO 1.5 INCHES. THIS COULD
LEAD TO SOME MINOR FLOODING PROBLEMS...MAINLY DUE TO MELTING OF
ICE AND SNOW LEADING TO CLOGGED CULVERTS AND DITCHES WITH PONDING
OF WATER. SMALLER STREAMS AND RIVERS WILL SEE SOME RISES.
HOWEVER...NO MAJOR FLOODING PROBLEMS ARE ANTICIPATED AT THIS TIME.
FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION...PLEASE REFER TO THE HYDROLOGIC
OUTLOOK /PWMESFCAR/.

ANOTHER LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO AFFECT THE REGION OVER
THE WEEKEND WITH MORE SNOW.
