AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CARIBOU ME
907 AM EDT TUE APR 1 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE NORTHEAST THROUGH QUEBEC LATER TODAY AND TONIGHT.
THIS LOW WILL BRING A WARM FRONT THROUGH THE REGION THIS AFTERNOON
AND EARLY EVENING...FOLLOWED BY A COLD FRONT LATE TONIGHT. FOLLOWING
THE COLD FRONT...CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD ACROSS THE
REGION WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY. THE NEXT CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION
WILL BE LATE FRIDAY INTO THE WEEKEND AS LOW PRESSURE MOVES EAST
NORTHEAST TOWARD THE GULF OF MAINE FROM THE MIDWEST.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
HAVE EXTENDED AREAS OF FOG FURTHER NORTH BASED ON OBSERVATIONS.
SUSPECT WARM MOIST AIR OVER-RUNNING SNOW COVER WILL RESULT IN
ADVECTION FOG.

SURFACE ANALYSIS EARLY THIS MORNING, PLACES WARM FRONT FROM
NORTHERN NEW YORK THROUGH CENTRAL VERMONT AND THEN OFF THE NH
COAST. MODELS IN VERY GOOD AGREEMENT LIFTING WARM FRONT TO THE
BANGOR AREA BY MID MORNING, THEN THROUGH THE HOULTON AREA BY
NOONTIME AND THEN THROUGH THE CARIBOU AREA BY MID AFTERNOON.
PRECIPITATION MAINLY CONFINED TO NORTHERN SECTIONS THIS MORNING
AND AS WARM FRONT MOVES NORTHWARD TODAY, EXPECT THIS AREA OF
PRECIP TO SLOWLY MOVE NORTH THIS MORNING. MAINLY LIGHT SNOW,
MIXING WITH LIGHT FREEZING RAIN, ACROSS ZONES 1 AND 2 SO WILL KEEP
ADVISORY OUT UNTIL 10AM THIS MORNING WITH ANY ADDITIONAL SNOW
ACCUMULATION AROUND AN INCH. WITH TEMPERATURES HOVERING AROUND THE
FREEZING MARK DO NOT EXPECT MUCH IN THE WAY OF ICING, WITH ANY ICE
ACCUMULATION LESS THAN A TENTH OF AN INCH. SOME CONCERNS WITH WIND
TODAY ALONG THE COASTLINE. SOUTHWEST FLOW WILL INCREASE THIS
AFTERNOON WITH GUSTS POSSIBLE TO 35 KTS. SINCE STRONGEST WINDS
WILL BE ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN AND ALONG THE IMMEDIATE
COASTLINE DID NOT FEEL A WIND ADVISORY WOULD BE WARRANT FOR THE
ENTIRE COASTAL SECTION AT THIS TIME. FOG MAY BE BIG FACTOR TODAY
AS WARMER AIR OVERRIDES COLDER SNOW PACK SO HAVE INCLUDED FOG IN
ALL THE ZONES TODAY THROUGH THIS EVENING UNTIL THE COLD FRONT
MOVES THROUGH. EXPECT COLD FRONT TO MOVE THROUGH THE STATE AROUND
MIDNIGHT. HIGHEST POPS WITH THE FRONT WILL BE ACROSS THE NORTH,
TAPERING TO SCATTERED SHOWERS ACROSS DOWNEAST. QUITE A BIG
DIFFERENCE IN THE MOS TEMPERATURES TODAY WITH A VERY WARM MAV AND
A VERY COLD FWC WITH THE MET IN BETWEEN. THE MET TEMPERATURES
VERIFIED THE CLOSET AT 06Z THIS MORNING SO STAYED CLOSE TO THE MET
TEMPERATURES FOR TODAY.

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
THE 18Z/00Z OPNL GFS AND 12Z/00Z ECMWF ARE GIVING DIFFERENT
SCENARIOS WITH REGARD TO THE LATE WEEK/WEEKEND PRECIP EVENT. THE
GFS ADVERTISES MORE IN THE WAY OF A SINGLE LOW THAT MSLY IMPACTS
THE FA FRI NGT INTO SAT MORN. THE ECMWF INDICATES TWO LOWS...THE
FIRST IMPACTING OUR FA LATE FRI NGT INTO SAT...AND PERHAPS ANOTHER

SAT AFT INTO SUN FOR THE LESS CERTAIN 2ND PTN OF THE ECMWF SCENARIO.
SUN NGT AND MON LOOK TO BE FAIR. IN BOTH PDS...PRECIP TYPE APPEARS
TO BE MORE IN THE OF SN ACROSS THE N HF OF THE FA...WITH
EVAPORATIVE COOLING PLAYING A MAJOR ROLE IN THE MARGINALLY COLD
ENOUGH AIR MASS...WHILE SRN AREAS APPEAR TO BE TO WARM TO MAKE A
DEFINITE CALL ONE WAY OR ANOTHER. WE ARE NOW FAR ENOUGH INTO
SPRING IN OUR FA WHERE DIURNAL/NOCTURNAL TIMING OF SNFL WILL MAKE
A SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE REGARDING ACCUMULATION IN MARGINALLY COLD
AIR MASSES...AND GIVEN TIMING UNCERTAINTIES WITH THIS EVENT...NOT
MUCH CAN BE DETERMINED ON THE POTENTIAL SIGNIFICANCE OF THIS EVENT.
