AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CARIBOU ME
1044 PM EDT MON OCT 27 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE WILL BEGIN TO TAKE SHAPE ALONG THE MID ATLANTIC COAST
OVERNIGHT. THE LOW WILL RAPIDLY INTENSIFY INTO A POWERFUL STORM AS
IT TRACKS INTO WESTERN NEW ENGLAND ON TUESDAY. THE LOW WILL
CONTINUE NORTH INTO QUEBEC AS COLD AIR WRAPS IN FROM THE
SOUTHWEST TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD
TO OUR SOUTH THURSDAY AND FRIDAY.
&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TUESDAY/...
OTHER THAN A FEW TWEAKS TO THE POPS WHICH HAS A SHARP GRADIENT IN
PLACE ACROSS THE EXTREME EASTERN PORTION OF THE CWA WITH THE
INVERTED SURFACE TROUGH LIFTING NORTHWARD...PREVIOUS GRID DATABASE
IN GOOD SHAPE. HAVE TWEAKED THE TEMPERATURES TO FIT CURRENT CONDITIONS.

MAIN CONCERNS ARE STRATUS MOVING BACK IN TONIGHT W/FOG AND STG
WINDS TUESDAY AFTERNOON ESP FOR THE DOWNEAST AREAS.

LATEST SATL IMAGERY AND OBS INDICATE THAT STRATUS IS ERODING AND
SHRINKING ACROSS THE NORTHERN AND EASTERN SECTIONS OF THE CWA.
LATEST LAPS SOUNDINGS SHOW THIS AS WELL W/DRY AIR MIXING INTO THE
BLYR. STRATUS RIGHT ALONG THE COAST HANGING TOUGH AND SHOWING SIGNS
OF EXPANDING W AGAIN AFT SUNSET. NAM12 PICKS UP ON THIS WELL AS DOES
NOW THE GFS40 SOUNDINGS. THEREFORE...BROUGHT STRATUS BACK INTO THE
CWA AFT 00Z DOWNEAST AND THE COAST AND THEN ADVECT IT INTO THE REST
OF THE CWA BY 06Z. FOG IS ALSO A CONCERN W/WET GROUND AND CLEARING
INITIALLY. THE BEST CHC FOR ANYTHING SUBSTANTIAL WILL BE ALONG THE
COAST AND OVER THE WATERS. THE SREF IS SHOWING THIS AS WELL. WENT
AHEAD AND ADDED PATCHY FOG FOR THE ENTIRE CWA AS INCG CLOUDS LATER
ON SHOULD HELP TO OFFSET THE FOG FROM BECOMING WIDESPREAD.

THE NEXT CONCERN TONIGHT INTO EARLY TUESDAY IS PRECIP CHCS DUE TO
LOW PRES DEVELOPING OFF THE SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND COAST AND THEN
MOVING NNW ACROSS NH REGION. INVERTED TROF SWINGING ACROSS THE
REGION LATER TONIGHT WILL AID IN LLVL CONVERGENCE WHILE INCG SSW
LLVL JET WILL GIVE THE ADDED FORCING. AREA OF RAIN IS EXPECTED TO
BACK INTO THE CWA FROM NEW BRUNSWICK OVERNIGHT INTO EARLY TUESDAY
W/THE CORE OF THE HEAVIEST RAFL REMAINING E OF THE CWA INTO TUESDAY
AFTERNOON. WENT W/A BLEND OF THE GFS40/NAM12/SREF FOR THE POPS WHICH
POINTS TO HIGHEST RAIN CHCS OVER THE EASTERN 3RD OF THE CWA EARLY ON
AND THEN EXPANDED THE POPS TO CATEGORICAL AS THE LOW LIFTS TOWARD
NH.

NOW FOR THE WINDS. AS STATED BY THE SHORT TERM FCSTR...WIND WATCHES
ARE UP FOR THE SOUTHERN 3RD OF CWA INCLUDING THE CENTRAL HIGHLANDS
LATE TUESDAY AFTERNOON AS THE FIRST SURGE OF STRONG WINDS (50-55 KT
925-850 MBS))JUST AHEAD OF ONSET OF THE CAA AND UPPER LEVEL FRONT
LIFTING N. TOOK THE GMOS GUST GRIDS AND MANUALLY ADJUSTED THE SPEEDS
UPWARD IN THESE AREAS TO ALIGN W/THE WATCH.
&&

.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
LOW PRESSURE MOVING NORTH THROUGH WESTERN NEW ENGLAND WILL CONTINUE
TO RAPIDLY INTENSIFY EARLY TUESDAY EVENING SUPPORTED BY POWERFUL
JET ENERGY CURLING NORTH OUT OF THE MID ATLANTIC TROUGH. WINDS ARE
EXPECTED TO REACH 45 KTS AT 925...55 KNTS AT 850 AND UP TO 120 KTS
AT 500 AS THE STORM LIFTS TO OUR WEST DURING THE EVENING HOURS. OF
CONSIDERABLE CONCERN IS THE FACT THAT STRONG AND DEEP COLD AIR
ADVECTION WRAPPING AROUND THE BACK OF THE LOW WILL BE MOVING IN
UPON SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS TUESDAY EVENING. THIS RAISES THE POTENTIAL
FOR SOME HEFTY WIND GUSTS THROUGHOUT THE AREA. A STORM WATCH AND
HIGH WIND WATCH WILL BE ISSUED FOR COASTAL AND DOWNEAST AREAS
LATE TUESDAY AFTERNOON AND NORTHERN AREAS TUESDAY EVENING...INTO
EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING. RAIN SHOWERS WILL TAPER TO SNOW FLURRIES
IN EASTERN AREAS...AND CHANGE TO SNOW SHOWERS AND POSSIBLE HEAVIER
SNOW SQUALLS IN THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS TO THE WEST...TUESDAY EVENING
INTO WEDNESDAY.
&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
THE START OF THE LONG TERM WILL FIND AN EXITING TROUGH EXTENDING
S ACROSS THE CANADIAN MARITIMES INTO THE EASTERN GULF OF MAINE
WATERS AND HIGHER PRESSURE BUILDING IN ACROSS COASTAL MAINE AND
THE GULF WATERS. THIS HIGH WILL DRIFT S AS A LOW PRESS SYS MVS
ACROSS NRN QUEBEC WITH AN ASSOCIATED FRONT TRAILING SW INTO THE
GREAT LAKE REGION BY 00Z SAT. THE TROUGH WILL ENTER THE GULF OF
MAINE EARLY SAT MORNING AND BE WELL E BY 00Z. A CANADIAN HIGH WILL
BEGIN TO RIDGE ACROSS THE REGION BY EARLY SUN MORNING. THE GFS AND
ECMWF ARE IN GOOD GENERAL AGREEMENT OVER THE LONG TERM THROUGH
THIS POINT. AT THE END OF THE PERIOD THE GFS INDICATES A WEAK LOW
DEVELOPING IN THE WRN GULF OF MAINE WATERS. THE ECMWF MAINTAIN THE
HIGH PRESS RIDGE ACROSS THE REGION. THE ECMWF ALSO INDICATES A LOW
PRESS SYSTEM IN THE NORTH ATLANTIC N OF BURMUDA THAT WOULD FORM AS
THE COLD FRONT EXITS TO THE EAST ON SAT EVENING. THE ECMWF
DEVELOPS THIS LOW WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF AN UPR LVL LOW EAST OF
NY. AND KEEPS IT IN THE AREA THROUGH THE END OF THE PERIOD
TIGHTING THE GRADIENT ACROSS THE ERN GULF OF MAINE WATERS.
&&

.AVIATION /03Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
VFR EARLY TONIGHT EXPECTED TO DROP BACK TO MVFR AND IFR LATER
TONIGHT AND CONTINUE THIS WAY RIGHT INTO TUESDAY. CIGS WILL BE
LOWERING TO <1000 FT BY 12Z AND WILL HOLD THERE RIGHT THROUGH THE
AFTERNOON.

EXPECT IFR TO MVFR CONDITIONS TUESDAY EVENING INTO WEDNESDAY WITH
POTENTIALLY DANGEROUSLY TURBULENT AND GUSTY CONDITIONS.
&&

.MARINE...
NEAR TERM: WILL DROP THE SCA FOR HAZARDOUS SEAS IN LIEU OF THE
GALE WATCH EXPECTED LATE TUESDAY AS MENTIONED IN THE SHORT TERM. 6
FOOT SWELL OUT THERE ATTM WILL HOLD INTO THE MUCH OF THE NIGHT AND
