AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CARIBOU ME
223 PM EST SAT FEB 11 2006

.SYNOPSIS...COLD HIGH PRESSURE WILL CREST OVER NORTHERN MAINE
TONIGHT. LOW PRESSURE INTENSIFYING OFF THE MID ATLANTIC COAST WILL
TRACK NORTH TO A POSITION SOUTH OF NEW ENGLAND SUNDAY MORNING AND
THEN CONTINUE NORTHEAST TOWARD SOUTHERN NOVA SCOTIA SUNDAY
AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THE LOW WILL CONTINUE NORTHEAST ACROSS
NEWFOUNDLAND ON MONDAY. THIS TRACK WOULD GIVE THE GREATEST SNOW
AND WIND POTENTIAL TO THE DOWNEAST PORTION OF THE REGION SUNDAY
INTO SUNDAY NIGHT. WEAK HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD OVER THE STATE
ON TUESDAY.

&&

.SHORT TERM (TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY)...
COLD HIGH PRESSURE WILL SETTLE OVER NORTHERN MAINE EARLY TONIGHT
BRINGING ANOTHER CLEAR AND VERY COLD MOONLIT NIGHT ACROSS THE
AREA. LOW PRESSURE INTENSIFYING ALONG THE MID ATLANTIC COAST WILL
APPROACH ON SUNDAY SPREADING SNOW ACROSS DOWNEAST MAINE SUNDAY
MORNING. MODELS ARE COMING INTO AGREEMENT ON A MAJOR SNOW AND WIND
EVENT ACROSS DOWNEAST MAINE SUNDAY INTO SUNDAY EVENING WITH THE
MOST SEVERE CONDITIONS ALONG THE IMMEDIATE COAST. ALTHOUGH THE LOW
CENTER IS EXPECTED TO TRACK SOUTH OF THE GULF OF MAINE...UPPER
LEVEL SUPPORT FOR SIGNIFICANT SNOW IS EXPECTED TO EXTEND WELL
NORTH OF THE LOW CENTER WITH SOME LIGHT TO MODERATE SNOW
EVENTUALLY MAKING IT UP TO AT LEAST EASTERN PORTIONS OF NORTHERN
MAINE SUNDAY EVENING. ALL SNOW IS EXPECTED WITH THIS STORM...EVEN
DOWN ACROSS THE WATERS. SNOWFALL AMOUNTS ARE EXPECTED TO AVERAGE
FROM A FOOT OR MORE ALONG PARTS OF THE WASHINGTON COUNTY COAST TO
3 INCHES IN NORTHEASTERN MAINE...THOUGH CONSIDERABLE BLOWING WILL
MAKE IT DIFFICULT TO MEASURE. WILL ADDRESS THE WIND AND SNOW WITH
A BLIZZARD WARNING ALONG THE DOWNEAST COAST AND CENTRAL WASHINGTON
COUNTY...AND A WINTER STORM WARNING FOR SNOW AND BLOWING SNOW OVER
INTERIOR DOWNEAST MAINE. THE STORM WILL MOVE AWAY EARLY MONDAY
MORNING LEAVING MONDAY PARTLY CLOUDY AND COLD.

&&

.LONG TERM (MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY)...
NOT MUCH RUN TO RUN OR MODEL TO MODEL CONSISTENCY WITH DAYS 3 TO
5...SO WE TRIED TO MERGE 12Z GFS TRENDS WITH HPC GRIDS DURING THE
FIRST HALF OF THE EXTENDED. THIS WAS QUITE A CHALLENGE...SINCE WE
ALSO HAD TO BE CONSISTENT WITH OUR NEIGHBORING OFFICE AS WELL.
DESPITE THE DIFFICULTIES...THERE IS REASONABLE AGREEMENT...THAT
AFTER ANOTHER BRIEF SURGE OF ARCTIC AIR ON TUESDAY...A CLIPPER
TYPE S/WV IN ZONAL FLOW WLL BRING LGT OVERRUNNING SNFL TO SPCLY
NRN PTNS OF THE FA LATE TUE NGT INTO WED.

WITH LITTLE IN THE WAY OF COLD ADVCN BEHIND THIS SYSTEM LATE WED
INTO WED NGT AND WITH THE L/WV TROF AXIS XPCTED TO RETROGRADE TO
THE WRN U.S...THE NEXT LOW PRES-S/WV COMPLEX...WHICH THERE WAS
REASONABLY GOOD MODEL CONSENSUS...IS PROGGED TO MOVE WELL NW OF
THE FA LATE THU INTO FRI. ANY WARM ADVCN SN WILL LIKELY TRANSITION
TO RN ACROSS MOST...IF NOT ALL OF THE FA...BY LATE FRI. A SHARP
COLD FRONT IS THEN SLATED TO QUICKLY MOVE W TO E OF THE FA LATE
FRI INTO ERLY FRI EVE...BRINGING COLDER ARCTIC AIR BACK TO THE FA
FOR FRI NGT INTO SAT.

&&

.AVIATION...
VFR CONDITIONS XPCTED THE NEXT 24 HRS...WITH MVFR CIGS/VSBYS WITH
THE LEADING EDGE OF THE SNFL GETTING TO KBGR BY 18Z SUN.

&&

.MARINE...WINDS WILL INCREASE EARLY SUNDAY REACHING A STRONG GALE
BY MIDDAY SUNDAY AHEAD OF THE STORM SYSTEM MOVING UP FROM THE
SOUTH. GALE FORCE WINDS WILL CONTINUE INTO SUNDAY EVENING
AND THEN SUBSIDE EARLY MONDAY MORNING. HEAVY SNOW WILL REDUCE
VISIBILITIES TO LESS THAN A MILE SUNDAY INTO SUNDAY EVENING.

IN THE LONG TERM...WE DID NOT ADVERTISE ANYTHING GREATER THAN SCA
WINDS IN OUR GRIDS...BUT WE WILL BE WATCHING THE POTENTIAL OF
GALES AHEAD AND BEHIND THE SYSTEM SLATED FOR LATE NEXT WEEK.
