.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
A WEAK AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD ACROSS THE AREA THURSDAY
NIGHT BEHIND THE DEPARTING STORM SYSTEM. POTENTIAL IS THERE FOR
SOME DECENT RADIATIONAL COOLING IF WE CLEAR OFF ENOUGH WITH LIGHT

COLDER THAN FORECASTED. THAT BEING SAID...LOOKING FOR LOWS RANGING
FROM AROUND ZERO TO 5 ABOVE ZERO ACROSS MOST OF THE REGION.

SWRN MAINE AND XPCT THESE CONDS TO REDEVELOP ACROSS OUR SRN TAF
SITES NXT FEW HRS.
