NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CARIBOU ME
419 PM EST THU JAN 18 2007

.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE WILL DEVELOP OFF THE SOUTHEASTERN STATES TONIGHT THEN
MOVE NORTH THROUGH THE GULF OF MAINE FRIDAY. THE SYSTEM WILL BRING
SIGNIFICANT SNOWFALL AND BRISK WINDS TO THE REGION BEFORE MOVING
NORTHEAST INTO THE MARITIMES SATURDAY.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
SIGNIFICANT STORM SHAPING UP FOR FOR FORECAST AREA FRIDAY THROUGH
SATURDAY. NAM AND GFS IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH LOW PRESSURE MOVING
TO CAPE CODE FRIDAY MORNING AND THEN INTO THE GULF OF FUNDY BY
FRIDAY EVENING. SNOW WILL SPREAD INTO DOWNEAST SECTIONS AROUND DAY
BREAK AND QUICKLY MOVE INTO NORTHERN SECTIONS BY NOONTIME. THE
LOW QUICKLY INTENSIFIES FRIDAY EVENING AS SHORTWAVE TROUGH FROM
THE GREAT LAKES PHASES WITH THE SURFACE LOW MOVING INTO NEW BRUNSWICK.
AS THE LOW INTENSIFIES SNOW WILL WRAP BACK INTO EASTERN SECTIONS
FRIDAY NIGHT UNDER STRONG NORTHWEST WINDS. NEAR BLIZZARD
CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY FOR MOST OF
NORTHERN AND CENTRAL SECTIONS. BOTH NAM AND GFS INDICATE RAIN SNOW
LINE WILL MOVE INTO COASTAL SECTIONS BY MID MORNING AND THEN BY
NOONTIME INTO INTERIOR DOWNEAST. GFS MUCH MORE AGGRESSIVE WITH THE
WARM AIR TAKING IT ALL THE WAY TO THE HOULTON AREA. DECIDED A
BLEND OF THE NAM AND GFS WAS A GOOD COMPROMISE WITH RAIN AND SNOW
LINE MOVING AS FAR NORTH AS LINCOLN. FOR SNOWFALL AMOUNTS USED A
BLEND OF THE NAM AND GFS WHICH WAS IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THE HPC
AMOUNTS.

THE ONLY FLY IN THE OINTMENT IS IF THE GREAT LAKES ENERGY PHASES
IN LATER THAN THE NAM AND THE GFS PUTTING MOST OF THE HEAVY SNOW
INTO NEW BRUNSWICK AND JUST ALONG THE MAINE AND THE NEW BRUNSWICK
BORDER. THE EUROPEAN MODELS CONTINUE TO HINT AT THIS. ALSO MODELS
HAVE NOT BEEN VERY CONSISTENT FROM RUN TO RUN WHICH LEADS TO SOME
DISCOMFORT. EVEN IF THE FARTHER EAST SOLUTION PANS OUT STILL FEEL
SIGNIFICANT SNOW WILL FALL ALONG THE NEW BRUNSWICK AND MAINE
BORDER. WITH SOME UNCERTAINTY STILL EXISTING WILL KEEP SNOWFALL
JUST AROUND THE WARNING CRITERIA FOR OUR WESTERN SECTIONS AND
INTERIOR DOWNEAST.

A GFS & GEM BLEND WAS TAKEN INTO SUNDAY W/LOW PRESSURE BOMBING

AOA 30 MPH & GUSTS HITTING 40+ MPH. NEAR BLIZZARD CONDITIONS
EXPECTED THROUGHOUT SATURDAY MAKING THE CLEANUP PROCESS A TOUGH
JOB. TEMPERATURES WILL MAKE THEIR DROP DURING THE DAY ON SATURDAY
AS COLD ARCTIC AIR GETS FUNNELED INTO THE REGION. THIS WILL LEAD
TO DANGEROUS WIND CHILLS BY SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY. TIGHT PRES
GRADIENT WILL HANG ON INTO SUNDAY W/VERY WIND CONDITIONS
CONTINUING.

HPC GUIDANCE WAS USED FROM LATE MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY W/SOME
ADJUSTMENTS ESP TO NIGHTTIME TEMPS TO DROP THEM BACK DUE TO COLD
AIRMASS & SNOW COVER. HIGH PRES BEGINS TO WORK INTO THE NEW
ENGLAND FROM SRN CANADA TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY W/VERY COLD
CONDITIONS CONTINUING.

A MODERATION IN TEMPERATURES IS EXPECTED WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY
AS A SWLY FLOW TAKES HOLD. ONE THING INTERESTING TO NOTE IS THE
DEVELOPING LOW PRES OFF THE SRN MAINE COAST SHOWN BY THE GFS/GGEM
& NOW THE LATEST ECMWF. THE ECMWF IS THE OUTLIER W/SHOWING A STG
STORM ON THE MAINE COAST BY 12Z WED. THE GFS & GGEM ARE WEAKER...SLOWER
& FURTHER E W/THIS FEATURE BUT DOW SHOW SOME SIGNIFICANT QPF
GETTING THROWN INTO THE CWA BY THURSDAY W/ALL OF THE PRECIP IN THE
