AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CARIBOU ME
1030 PM EST TUE JAN 8 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
A STATIONARY FRONT ACROSS NORTHERN MAINE WILL BEGIN LIFTING NORTH
OF THE SAINT JOHN VALLEY LATE TONIGHT WHILE LOW PRESSURE FROM THE
GREAT LAKES TRACKS INTO WESTERN QUEBEC. THE LOW WILL BRING A COLD
FRONT ACROSS THE AREA LATE WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. HIGH PRESSURE WILL
RETURN TO THE AREA BY THURSDAY..WITH ANOTHER LOW APPROACHING FROM
THE SOUTHWEST FRIDAY.
&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
UPDATED THE ZFP/GRIDS MAINLY FOR NRN AREAS TO RAISE THE POPS TO
CATEGORICAL EARLY AND THEN TRANSITION THEM BACK TO LIKELY BY EARLY
WED MORNING. TEMPERATURES WERE TRIMMED BACK JUST A TAD TO REFLECT
LATEST TRENDS. MOS GUIDANCE CATCHING ONTO THESE TRENDS ATTM. TEMPS
TO FALL BACK SOME OVERNIGHT AND LEVEL OFF BEFORE RISING AGAIN AHEAD
OF APCHG FRONT ON WED. ALL HEADLINES REMAIN IN PLACE. DENSE FOG
ADVISORY WORKING OUT WELL ACROSS THE N AS VSBYS AOB 1/4SM IN MANY
LOCALES ACROSS THE N. FURTHER S...VSBY HIGHER BUT BEGINNING TO FALL
BACK OVER THE PAST FEW HRS ESP HUL AND MLT REGION.

LATEST SFC OBS INDICATE THE FRONT OVR FAR NRN ME...JUST S OF THE ST
JOHN VLY...LATE THIS AFT. DENSE FOG AS BROKEN OUT THIS AFT SPCLY OVR
RN COOLED AND HIGHER TERRAIN. SUSBSEQUENTLY WITH SLIGHT COOLING OF
SATURATED AIR OVR SN PACK ANTICIPATED OVRNGT...CONDITIONS ARE NOT
LIKELY TO IMPROVE OVR ANY SIGNIFICANT PTN OF THE NIGHT...SO WE
ISSUED A DENSE FOG ADV THRU 11Z WED FOR ZONES 1-4.

OTHERWISE...MODELS IN THE SHORT RANGE REASONABLY CONSISTENT WITH MOST
FEATURES. CHGS INCLUDE SHFTING THE WARM FRONT RN BAND A LITTLE
FURTHER N...TO WHERE MSLY THE SAINT JOHN VLY IS AFFECTED WITH SIG
QPF OVRNGT INTO WED MORN.

MODELS INDICATE ENOUGH MID LVL INSTABILITY SHORTLY AFT THE TIME OF
MAXIMUM HEATING...TO INTRODUCE THE POSSIBILITY OF ISOLD TSTMS TO
ALL ZONES WED AFT. SPEAKING ABOUT HEATING...AFT UNDERESTIMATING
TDYS HI TEMPS BY UP TO 10 DEG OVR PTNS OF THE FA TDY...BASED ON
COMPARATIVE 925 TO 850 MB FIELDS...THE POTENTIAL FOR GREATER
MIXING OVR THE REGION...AND FAIRLY OVERLAND WIND DIRECTIONS FOR
CNTRL AND NRN PTNS OF THE FA IN THE WARM SECTOR WED AFT...WE WENT
5 TO 10 DEG ABV MOS GUIDANCE HI TEMPS WED AFT PRIOR TO THE COLD
FRONTAL PASSAGE LATE IN THE AFT. A FEW LOCATIONS MAY APCH ALL TIME
RECORD HI TEMPS FOR THE MONTH OF JAN IF OUR FCST IS CORRECT.

THE OTHER CHG IS CONVERTING THE HIGH WIND WATCH FOR THE COASTAL
ZONES TO WARNINGS FOR WED AFT AND EVE AND ISSUING A NEW WATCH FOR
ZONES 15>17 AND 32 (INTERIOR DOWNEAST AREAS) FOR THE SAME PDS. BOTH
THE WARMING AND WATCH AREAS ARE PROGGED TO BE IMPACTED BY BL TO
925 MB WINDS OF 50 TO 60 KT DURING THIS TIME...WITH 1000 TO 900 MB
LAPSE RATES XPCTD TO INCREASE WITH THE APCH OF THE COLD FRONT
DURING THE AFT...REACHING HI LAPSE RATES JUST BEHIND THE FRONT BY
00Z. THIS WILL ALLOW A POTENTIAL TRANSFER OF HIGHER MOMENTUM WINDS
TO THE SFC OVR THE WARNING AND WATCH AREAS AS THE AFT PROGRESSES WED.
&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
A COLD FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE EAST OF THE FORECAST AREA
WEDNESDAY NIGHT AS LOW PRESSURE MOVES EAST ACROSS QUEBEC PROVINCE.
SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS ARE POSSIBLE ACROSS NORTHERN AREAS
WEDNESDAY NIGHT AS THE LOW MOVES NORTHEAST OF THE REGION.

THURSDAY SHOULD BE A MAINLY DRY DAY AS LOW PRESSURE CONTINUES TO
MOVE THROUGH THE MARITIMES AND WEAK HIGH PRESSURE MOVES ACROSS THE
REGION. CLOUDS WILL START TO INCREASE IN ADVANCE OF THE NEXT
SYSTEM APPROACHING FROM THE WEST THURSDAY NIGHT WITH A CHANCE OF
SNOW OR MIXED PRECIPITATION ACROSS DOWNEAST MAINE AFTER MIDNIGHT.

ON FRIDAY LOW PRESSURE WILL TRACK NORTHEAST INTO QUEBEC PROVINCE
WHILE BOTH THE GFS/NAM CONTINUE INDICATE THAT A WEAK SECONDARY LOW
WILL DEVELOP OFF THE NEW ENGLAND COAST DURING FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND
THEN TRACK NORTHEAST ALONG THE COAST FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND THEN
INTO NEW BRUNSWICK FRIDAY NIGHT. WENT WITH CATEGORICAL POPS ALL
AREAS DURING FRIDAY. ACROSS DOWNEAST AREAS EXPECT A MIX FRIDAY
MORNING TO TRANSITION TO ALL RAIN LATER FRIDAY MORNING AND INTO
FRIDAY AFTERNOON. ACROSS NORTHERN AND CENTRAL AREAS EXPECT
PRECIPITATION TO BEGIN IN THE FORM OF SNOW BEFORE MIXING WITH
SLEET OR FREEZING RAIN LATER FRIDAY MORNING AND FRIDAY AFTERNOON.
THE LOW WILL EXIT TO THE NORTHEAST FRIDAY NIGHT WITH IMPROVING
CONDITIONS LATE.
&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
THE LONG TERM MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW A SIMILAR PATTERN IN THE
EARLY PORTIONS OF THE PERIOD. A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM CENTERED OVER
THE EASTERN PORTIONS OF QUEBEC PROVENCE WITH A COLD FRONT
EXTENDING SOUTH ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE GULF OF MAINE.
A TROF OF LOWER PRESSURE EXTENDED TO THE SOUTHWEST ACROSS THE CWA.
BY 00Z SUN A CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE BUILDING IN. THE
MODELS DIVERGE BY 00Z ON TUE. ECMWF IS INDICATING A LOW TO THE
SOUTH OF NOVA SCOTIA. WERE GFS PLACES A SIMILAR LOW FARTHER OUT TO
SEA WERE IT WILL HAVE ONLY A LIMITED IMPACT ON THE COASTAL WATERS.
GFS IS ALSO CARRYING A SECONDARY LOW OVER THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES.
THE ECMWF HAS HIGHER PRESSURE BUILDING IN BEHIND THE LOW AND
DOMINATING THROUGH THE END OF THE PERIOD. THE GFS MOVES THE LOW
FROM THE EASTERN GREAT LAKE ACROSS THE REGION. LOADED GMOS AND
SMOOTHED. AT THIS TIME BELIEVE THAT THE BLENDED APPROACH TAKEN BY
GMOS IS THE BEST APPROACH UNTIL A FAVOR TRACK CAN BE FOUND.
&&

.AVIATION /19Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
MSLY IFR...AND LIKELY LIFR AND VLIFR ACROSS NRN TAF SITES...
WILL CONT TNGT INTO WED MORN. BRIEF MVFR IS POSSIBLE PRIOR TO THE
COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE MIDDAY TO AFT WED...BUT THE BEST BET FOR
IMPROVEMENT...TO VFR...WILL BE BEHIND THE COLD FRONT WED NGT.

MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THURSDAY THROUGH THURSDAY
NIGHT...ALTHOUGH SOME BRIEF MVFR IS POSSIBLE ACROSS NORTHERN AREAS
IN ANY SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS WEDNESDAY NIGHT. WIDESPREAD IFR
CONDITIONS WILL DEVELOP ON FRIDAY AS LOW PRESSURE MOVES ACROSS THE
REGION. VFR CONDITIONS WILL RETURN FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY. &&

.MARINE...
NEAR TERM: WILL CONT WITH GALE WARNING FOR WED INTO MUCH OF WED
NGT. WINDS WILL INITIALLY BE FAIRLY LIGHT THIS EVE...BUT SHOULD
BEGIN TO INCREASE FROM THE SSW LATE TNGT AND REACH GALE FORCE BY
LATE MORN WED AS THE LOW DEEPENS OVR WRN QB. GALE FORCE WINDS ARE
A GOOD BET IN THE STRONG PRES GRAD/MSL POS PRES SURGE BEHIND THE
COLD FRONT INTO WED EVE.

SHORT TERM: GALE FORCE WINDS WILL PERSIST INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT.
SCA CONDITIONS ARE THEN EXPECTED THURSDAY. SCA CONDITIONS AND
POSSIBLY GALE CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED ON FRIDAY.
