.SYNOPSIS...
DEEP LOW PRESSURE WILL APPROACH FROM THE SOUTHWEST THIS EVENING AND
TRACK ACROSS DOWNEAST MAINE TONIGHT. THIS SYSTEM WILL BRING A WIDE
VARIETY OF WEATHER TO THE REGION TONIGHT INTO SATURDAY. THE LOW
WILL CONTINUE EAST THROUGH THE MARITIMES SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY AS
COLDER AIR FILTERS IN FROM CANADA.
&&
.SHORT TERM /TODAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
COMPLEX WX SCENARIO HAS PRESENTED QUITE A FEW WX CHALLENGES FOR
THE SHORT TERM PERIOD... FORTUNATELY...12Z MODEL SUITE REMAINS IN
GOOD AGREEMENT AND CONTS TO REMAIN CONSISTENT FROM THE LAST FEW
RUNS. DEEP LOW PRESSURE PROGGED TO TRACK ACROSS NY STATE THIS
EVENING W/ PRIMARY LOW WEAKENING AND TRANSFERRING ITS ENERGY TO A
SECONDARY LOW ALONG THE SRN MAINE COAST BY LATE EVENING. THIS
SYSTEM WILL THEN BECOME THE PRIMARY LOW PRES SYSTEM AS IT DRIVES
FAIRLY RAPIDLY ENE ACROSS SRN NB BY ERLY SAT AND INTO THE
MARITIMES LATE SAT.
VERY STRONG UPPER DYNAMICS ASSOCIATED W/ THIS SYSTEM AS IT IS
BEING DRIVEN BY A 125 KT JET... VERY TNGT THERMAL GRADIENT
ASSOCIATED W/ STORM AS WELL AND THIS WILL HELP PROVIDE PLENTY OF
JUICE FOR THE STORM TO FEED ON AS WELL AS CREATE A VERY COMPLEX
PRECIP PROFILE ACROSS THE FA. LATEST LOW-LVL TEMP PROFILE AS WELL
AS CRITICAL THCKNS VALS SUGGEST ONLY FAR NWRN AREAS TO REMAIN AS
MOSTLY SNOW W/ WNTRY MIX OF SLEET/SNOW AND FZRA ACROSS THE
REMAINDER OF NRN AND NERN AREAS. RAPID TRANSITION ZONE SHOULD TAKE
SHAPE ACROSS CENTRAL AREAS W/ MAINLY LIQUID PRECIP ACROSS OUR
DOWNEAST ZONES. WILL CONT WSW NWRN FA W/ SNOW ACCUMS OF 5 TO 9
INCHES XPCTD ACROSS THE NW HALF OF THE ZN W/ LESSER AMOUNTS OF
SNOW AND MORE SLEET AND FZRA XPCTD SERN HALF. ACROSS ZN
2/3/4...XPCT LGTR SNOW ACCUMS AND MORE SLEET AND FZRA AND W/ FCST
SOUNDINGS SHOWING A PROLONGED PERIOD OF SLEET IN THESE AREAS...
FELT IT PRUDENT TO ISSUE A WSW FOR SLEET ACCUMS OF UP TO ONE INCH
WHICH THO RARE...LOOKS POSSIBLE THIS TIME AS BOTH NAM AND GFS
SOUNDINGS HAVE BEEN ADVERTISING THIS LAST FEW RUNS. THUS...MUCH OF
NRN AND NWRN MAINE WILL BE UNDER WSW INTO SAT... FOR CENTRAL AND E
CENTRAL AREAS...WILL CONTINUE THE WNTR WX ADVISORIES FOR MNLY
SLEET AND FZRA. ATTM...XPCT SLEET ACCUMS TO BE AROUND ONE HALF
INCH W/ ICE ACCUMS OF LESS THAN ONE HALF INCH BUT WILL NEED TO
WATCH THIS AREA CAREFULLY AS IT IS NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION TO SEE
SOME ICING AMOUNTS APPROACH ONE HALF INCH. GIVEN THE RAPID
MOVEMENT OF THIS SYSTEM AND A SYNOPTIC PTRN NOT FAVORABLE FOR
SIGNIFICANT ICING...HAVE OPTED TO STAY W/ JUST AN ADV ATTM...
FURTHER S...ABUNDANT CONVECTION FURTHER SW ACROSS SRN NYS AND WRN
NEW ENGLAND SHOULD PROPAGATE EWRD AND ALTHO SIGNIFICANT WEAKENING
XPCTD BY THE TIME IT REACHES OUR AREA...CAN NOT RULE OUT SOME
ISOLD TSTM ACROSS DOWNEAST AREAS LATER THIS EVE AS THE POTENT LOW
PRES SYSTEM TRACKS THRU. THIS CONVECTION MAY ALSO HELP TO MIX DOWN
SOME STRONG WINDS JUST ABOVE THE SFC AND FOR THIS REASON...HAVE
ISSUED WND ADV FOR INTERIOR DOWNEAST AND A HGH WND WARNING FOR THE COAST.

.AVIATION /20Z-18Z/...
CONDITIONS WILL REMAIN IFR THRU THE NIGHT IN NORTHERN AREAS AS LOW
PRESSURE MOVE ALONG THE MAINE COAST. IN THE SOUTH KBGR AND KBHB
ARE EXPECTED TO IMPROVE TO VFR CONDITIONS AFTER 09Z AS DRIER AIR
WORKS ITS WAY IN BEHIND THE LOW.

WILL CONT GLW FOR SAT IN STRONG NWRLY FLOW BEHIND THE DEPARTING
STORM SYSTEM.
LONG TERM: WINDS FROM 12Z SUNDAY THRU MONDAY EVENING WERE CREATED
WITH THE GFS. WINDS FROM MONDAY EVENING THRU TO THE END OF THE
