AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAY ME
348 AM EDT THU MAY 29 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
WEST TO SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL GUST TO 35 MPH OR HIGHER AS A COLD
FRONT DROPS THROUGH THE REGION THIS AFTERNOON. SCATTERED SHOWERS
SHOULD BE LIMITED TO THE HIGH TERRAIN IN WESTERN MAINE. WEAK HIGH
PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN BEHIND THE FRONT TONIGHT...THEN MOVE EAST
OF THE REGION FRIDAY. LOW PRESSURE ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES FRIDAY
NIGHT WILL SLOWLY TRACK EAST...ACROSS NEW ENGLAND SATURDAY AND
SUNDAY. FOLLOWING A WEAK DISTURBANCE MONDAY...HIGH PRESSURE WILL
BUILD IN FROM THE WEST ON TUESDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TODAY/...
A MOSTLY DRY COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE WILL RESULT IN GUSTY WINDS AND
FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS. MORE DETAILS ON THE FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS
ARE CONTAINED BELOW IN THE FIRE WEATHER SECTION.

CURRENTLY...MID LEVEL CLOUDS IN THE WARM AIR ADVECTION AHEAD OF A
SHORT WAVE OVER WESTERN QUEBEC ARE CROSSING THE EASTERN ZONES.
THE COLD FRONT ITSELF IS LOCATED OVER CENTRAL QUEBEC...AND THERE
ARE A FEW SHOWERS WITH THE FRONT. THE SURFACE GRADIENT IS ALREADY
STARTING TO INCREASE AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT.

EXTRAPOLATION OF THE SHORT WAVE IN WESTERN QUEBEC BRINGS IT ACROSS
EASTERN MAINE IN THE LATE AFTERNOON. AHEAD OF THE SHORT WAVE...MID
LEVEL CLOUDS WILL DEVELOP AHEAD OF IT IN THE WARM AIR ADVECTION AND
CROSS THE EASTERN ZONES. FOR THESE AREAS...PARTLY SUNNY SHOULD
WORK. ELSEWHERE...AS THE AIRMASS REMAINS VERY DRY...LITTLE IN THE
WAY OF CLOUDINESS IS EXPECTED.

SURFACE DEW POINTS ARE POOLING AHEAD OF THE FRONT IN QUEBEC...AND
AS MENTIONED EARLIER...THERE ARE A FEW SHOWERS WITH THE FRONT.
SCATTERED SHOWERS WERE MENTIONED WITH THE FRONT ACROSS FAR NORTHERN
ZONES...AS THEY WILL BE CLOSEST TO THE PASSAGE OF THE SHORT WAVE.
ELSEWHERE...THE AIRMASS WILL SIMPLY BE TOO DRY FOR SHOWERS.

THE BIGGEST IMPACT WITH THE FRONTAL PASSAGE WILL BE THE WINDS.
NOTED 50 KNOTS WINDS AT THE TOP OF THE INVERSION ON THE 0000 UTC
CWZC SOUNDING. WHILE MODEL SOUNDINGS HINT THIS IS A POSSIBLY LATE
THIS AFTERNOON JUST AHEAD OF THE FRONT...NOT SURE THIS MUCH MOMENTUM
WILL BE AVAILABLE THIS FAR SOUTH.

AS SUCH...WIND GUSTS TO 40 MPH WERE MENTIONED IN THE ZONE FORECASTS...
AND THIS IS CENTERED BETWEEN 1900 AND 2300 UTC. IF THE DEPTH OF
THE MIXED LAYER IS GREATER THAN MOST MODEL SOUNDINGS SHOW (MOST
SHOW MIXED LAYERS BETWEEN 6000 AND 8000 FEET...WHICH IS ABOUT WHAT
0000 UTC SOUNDINGS SHOWED IN ONTARIO AND QUEBEC)...WINDS COULD BE
HIGHER. THERE IS A LOW RISK OF WIND ADVISORY GUSTS LATER THIS
AFTERNOON...BUT NOT ENOUGH CONFIDENCE FOR AN ADVISORY.

HIGHS TODAY SHOULD BE A TAD HIGHER THAN THE MOS BLEND. THIS IS DUE
MAINLY TO THE DEPTH OF THE MIXED LAYER...WHICH SHOULD BE HIGHER
THAN 850 MB.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH 6 PM FRIDAY/...
THE FRONT SHOULD CLEAR THE COAST THIS EVENING...AND WINDS SHOULD
DROP OFF FAIRLY QUICKLY IN ITS WAKE. THE AIRMASS BEHIND THE FRONT
IS NOT MUCH COOLER THAN THE CURRENT ONE. THIS MEANS FROST IS POSSIBLE
LATE TONIGHT IN PROTECTED AREAS. HOWEVER...AT THIS POINT...DID NOT
BELIEVE THE AIRMASS WOULD BE MOIST ENOUGH IN THE LOWER LEVELS FOR
FROST. LATER SHIFTS MAY HAVE TO REEVALUATE THIS. LOWS WERE BASED
MAINLY ON THE MOS BLEND...AND DROPPED A COUPLE OF DEGREES IN THE
USUAL LOCATIONS.

FLAT RIDGING IN THE MID LEVELS AND EXITING SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE
SHOULD RESULT IN A SLOWER PROGRESSION OF THE WARM AIR ADVECTION AHEAD
OF THE NEXT SYSTEM. THE 0000 UTC GFS SEEMS TOO FAST BRINGING THE
MOISTURE BACK THROUGH THE FLAT RIDGE. HIGHS FRIDAY WERE BASED THE
MOS BLEND...AND DROPPED A TAD NEAR THE COAST WITH ONSHORE FLOW.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
A COMPLEX SURFACE MAP UNFOLDS FOR THIS WEEKEND AS LOW PRESSURE
APPROACHES FROM THE GREAT LAKES. EXPECT A DOUBLE BARRELED
LOW...WITH A TROF EXTENDING BACK TO THE UPPER LOW. A WARM FRONT
WILL LIFT TOWARDS THE REGION FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY...LIKELY
STALLING SOMEWHERE ACROSS THE REGION SATURDAY...BEFORE AN
ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT SWINGS THROUGH LATER SATURDAY.

GFS/GEM/NAM/UKMET SUGGEST ERRORS IN POSITION AND TIMING OF THESE
BOUNDARIES WILL BE DIFFICULT TO RESOLVE THIS FAR OUT...SO HEDGE
FORECAST TOWARDS THE MIDDLE OF THESE. IN ALL...A WET PATTERN IS
WIDELY SUPPORTED...WITH LIKELY TO LOW CATEGORICAL POPS JUSTIFIED
FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY NIGHT. FEEL GFS IS A BIT TOO FAST WITH
ITS ONSET...AS INITIAL WAVE MAY BE OVERLY ENERGIZED BY CONVECTIVE FEEDBACK.

GENERALLY STAY CLOSE TO NAM/GFS MOS BLEND FOR
TEMPERATURES...THOUGH A POTENTIAL FOR LARGE BUSTS EXISTS
SATURDAY...NEAR THE WARM FRONT. FINALLY...WILL INCLUDE A MENTION
OF THUNDERSTORMS SOUTH SATURDAY...WHERE IT WILL BE CLOSE TO
BREAKING INTO THE WARM SECTOR.

FOR SUNDAY...NOW GOOD MODEL AGREEMENT WE/LL HAVE AN UPPER LOW
ALOFT. EXPECT SHOWERS TO DEVELOP...WITH GREATEST AREAL COVERAGE
SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND IN THE MOUNTAINS...THOUGH AT LEAST CHANCE
POPS ARE JUSTIFIED ACROSS THE REGION.

BEYOND...A SHORT WAVE GLANCES NEW ENGLAND. EUROPEAN CONSIDERABLY
STRONGER THAN THE 00Z GFS...EITHER WAY WORTH A CHANCE POP IN MOST
AREAS FOR MONDAY. BEYOND...00Z GFS/GEM AND 12Z EUROPEAN ALL
BUILD IN WEAK HIGH PRESSURE...MAKING TUESDAY THE PICK OF EARLY
NEXT WEEK FOR NOW. BEYOND...COULD SEE IT GOING EITHER WAY...WITH
TIMING THE EXIT OF THE HIGH TRICK THAT FAR OUT...HOWEVER BASED ON
THE GFS WILL CARRY AT LEAST CHANCE POPS. DON/T STRAY FAR FROM GFS
MOS...WHICH CONTINUES TO KEEP TEMPERATURES NEAR OR JUST BELOW
NORMAL.

&&

.AVIATION /06Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...

LOOKING AHEAD...EXPECT CONDITIONS TO DETERIORATE TO MVFR OR LOWER
IN RAIN AND FOG FRIDAY NIGHT...WITH VARIABLE CONDITIONS LASTING
THROUGH THE WEEKEND.

&&

.MARINE...
IN THE NEAR TERM...WINDS HAVE DROPPED BELOW 15 KNOTS IN MOST
PLACES EARLY THIS MORNING. HOWEVER...THE SURFACE GRADIENT IS
ALREADY TIGHTENING AHEAD OF THE SURFACE COLD FRONT OVER QUEBEC...
AND THIS SHOULD MIX DOWN FAIRLY QUICKLY THIS MORNING.

MODEL SOUNDINGS SUGGEST THAT 30 KNOTS SHOULD BE THE TOP GUSTS...AND
THIS MAY VERY WELL OCCUR RIGHT NEAR THE SHORE...AS THE BEST MIXING
SHOULD BE OVER LAND. THERE IS A LOW PROBABILITY OF GALE FORCE GUSTS
FOR A TIME BETWEEN 1900 UTC AND 2300 UTC THIS AFTERNOON...BUT NOT
ENOUGH CONFIDENCE FOR A GALE WARNING AT THIS TIME.

WINDS SHOULD DROP OFF FAIRLY QUICKLY BEHIND THE FRONT THIS
EVENING...AND TURN TO THE NORTH AS WEAK SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE
BUILD ACROSS THE WATERS. AS THE HIGH MOVES OFFSHORE FRIDAY...
WINDS SHOULD VEER TO THE SOUTH AND SOUTHEAST.

LOOKING AHEAD...A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED LATE
FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY...AHEAD OF LOW PRESSURE TO THE WEST OF
THE WATERS. SEAS SHOULD ALSO BUILD IN THE SOUTHERLY FLOW.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS WILL AGAIN BE A LARGE CONCERN TODAY. AS A
COLD FRONT DROPS SOUTH FROM QUEBEC...WEST TO SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL
INCREASE FAIRLY QUICKLY THIS MORNING...AS THE NOCTURNAL INVERSION
BREAKS. 0000 UTC SOUNDINGS IN ONTARIO...AS WELL AS MODEL SOUNDINGS...
SUGGEST THAT WINDS COULD GUST TO 40 MPH AHEAD OF THE FRONT...ESPECIALLY
DURING THE MID TO LATE AFTERNOON.

THE AIRMASS AHEAD OF THE FRONT IS FAIRLY DRY...AND DRIER AIR WILL
MIX DOWN WITH THE WINDS THIS MORNING. AS A RESULT...HUMIDITY
VALUES WILL DROP BELOW 25 PERCENT IN MOST LOCATIONS. FROM A
METEOROLOGICAL STANDPOINT...WILL SHOULD REACH RED FLAG CRITERIA
FAIRLY EASILY TODAY.

HOWEVER...WILL HOLD OFF ON THE WARNING UNTIL WE DISCUSS THE
SITUATION WITH THE FIRE WEATHER PEOPLE A BIT LATER THIS MORNING.
DEPENDING ON THEIR FEEDBACK...RED FLAG WARNINGS COULD BE ISSUED
LATER THIS MORNING.

&&

.GYX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
ME...NONE.
NH...NONE.
MARINE...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY FROM 10 AM THIS MORNING TO 10 PM EDT THIS
     EVENING FOR ANZ150>154.
