AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CARIBOU ME
1254 PM EDT SUN OCT 30 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
INTENSE LOW PRESSURE WILL TRACK ACROSS THE SOUTHERN GULF OF MAINE
THIS MORNING TO SOUTH OF NOVA SCOTIA BY THIS AFTERNOON. HIGH
PRESSURE WILL THEN PREVAIL TONIGHT INTO THE MIDWEEK...EXCEPT LATE
MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY MORNING WHEN A WEAK UPPER LEVEL
DISTURBANCE CROSSES THE REGION.

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
UPDATE...SNOW CONTINUES TO TAPER OFF ACROSS THE AREA SO THE REST
OF THE WARNINGS HAVE BEEN LIFTED. ANOTHER INCH OF SNOW MAY
ACCUMULATE ACROSS PARTS OF EASTERN WASHINGTON COUNTY.
ELSEWHERE...LITTLE OR NO ADDITION SNOW ACCUMULATION IS EXPECTED. A
WIND ADVISORY HAS REPLACED THE WINTER STORM WARNING DOWNEAST.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...LOW PRESSURE IS CURRENTLY SITTING JUST
SOUTHEAST OF NANTUCKET AND WILL CONTINUE TO PUSH OF TO THE EAST
NORTHEAST THROUGH TODAY, REACHING THE WATERS OFF SOUTHERN NOVA
SCOTIA BY THIS AFTERNOON. THIS TRACK IS JUST A BIT FURTHER SOUTH
THAN PREVIOUSLY ANTICIPATED. THE CONCERNS ARE STILL TOTAL SNOWFALL
AND WINDS.

A HEAVY BAND OF RAIN AND SNOW MOVED ONSHORE LAST EVENING AND HAS NOW
LIFTED INTO CENTRAL PORTIONS OF THE STATE, LYING ALONG A
HOULTON-LINCOLN-BANGOR LINE. THIS PRECIPITATION WAS SLOW TO CHANGE
OVER FROM RAIN TO SNOW OVERNIGHT /MACHIAS PD REPORTED RAIN STILL
FALLING AT 1:30 AM/ AND THEN HAD A HARD TIME ACCUMULATING ONCE IT
DID SWITCH OVER. ALTHOUGH THE IMMEDIATE COAST MAY CONTINUE TO MIX AT
TIMES THIS MORNING, EXPECT ALL OTHER LOCATIONS TO REMAIN ALL SNOW
UNTIL THIS AFTERNOON. THIS BAND WILL BEGIN TO PIVOT WESTWARD EARLY
THIS MORNING, THEN GRADUALLY WEAKEN AS ANOTHER STRONG BAND DEVELOPS
JUST OFF THE COAST. THIS SECOND BAND WILL BE ASSOCIATED WITH AN AREA
OF STRONG FORCING AND WILL PRODUCE HEAVY SNOW ACROSS SOUTHEASTERN
MAINE AS IT ALSO PIVOTS NORTHWESTWARD. THERE WILL BE A SHARP
NORTHEAST-SOUTHWEST GRADIENT IN SNOWFALL TOTALS DUE TO THIS BANDING.
SNOWFALL TOTALS HAVE BEEN DROPPED SLIGHTLY DUE TO THE ABOVE. THE
HIGHEST AMOUNTS OF 8 TO 12 INCHES WILL BE IN THE INTERIOR DOWNEAST,
WITH 3 TO 8 INCHES ALONG THE COAST. FURTHER NORTH, THE CENTRAL
HIGHLANDS AND SOUTHERN AROOSTOOK WILL SEE 5 TO 8 INCHES. NORTHEAST
AROOSTOOK AND NORTHERN PISCATAQUIS SHOULD TOP OUT IN THE 3 TO 6 INCH
RANGE, WHILE THE ALLAGASH WILL ONLY GET 1 TO 3 INCHES AT MOST.

AS WE GO INTO THIS AFTERNOON...TEMPERATURES WILL WARM INTO THE MID
TO UPPER 30S ALLOWING THE SNOW TO BEGIN TO MIX WITH RAIN ESPECIALLY
NEAR THE COAST. THE PRECIPITATION WILL TAPER OFF AND BECOME MORE
SHOWERY IN NATURE AS THE LOW CONTINUES TO PUSH EAST AWAY FROM THE
AREA.

NORTH WINDS HAVE ALREADY BEGUN TO PICK UP IN RESPONSE TO THE
TIGHTENING PRESSURE GRADIENT AROUND THE DEEPENING LOW. STILL EXPECT
WINDS TO BECOME VERY STRONG DOWNEAST AND ALONG THE COAST: SUSTAINED
AT 20 TO 30 MPH WITH GUSTS TO 40 MPH IN THE INTERIOR, AND 30 TO 40
WITH GUSTS TO 50 MPH ALONG THE COAST. NORTHERN AREAS WON'T BE AS
BREEZY WITH WINDS 15 TO 25 MPH WITH GUSTS TO 30 MPH.

THE COMBINATION OF HEAVY WET SNOW AND GUSTY WINDS WILL RESULT IN
BROKEN TREE LIMBS AND DOWNED POWER LINES SO POWER OUTAGES ARE LIKELY
ESPECIALLY DOWNEAST. ROADS WILL QUICKLY BECOME SLIPPERY ESPECIALLY
IN ANY BANDS THAT SET UP. HAVE THEREFORE CONTINUED WITH THE WINTER
STORM WARNING AND ADVISORY THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON.&&&&&&&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
WHATS LEFT OF CLDS AND SN SHWRS FROM THE NOREASTER RAPIDLY EXITING
THE FA THRU THE MARITIMES WILL MOVE E OUT OF THE FA BY LATE EVE...
RESULTING IN CLRG LATE TNGT AND A MSLY SUNNY START ON MONDAY.
WINDS SHOULD ALSO CONT TO DIMINISH OVRNGT...PERHAPS EVEN ALLOWING
FOR A PD OF RADIATIONAL COOLING ACROSS WRN AND INTERIOR DOWNEAST
VLYS VERY LATE TNGT AS SFC HI PRES ESTABLISHES ITSELF JUST SW OF
THE FA. OVRNGT LOWS REFLECT THIS THINKING AND THE ANTICIPATION OF
SN PACK OVR CNTRL AND SRN PTNS OF THE FA.

SOME CLDS BEGIN TO INCREASE W TO E ACROSS THE FA LATE MON AS SOME
S/WV ENERGY FROM A MIDWEST UPPER TROF BEGINS TO SHEAR EWRD TOWARD
OUR FA. MOST OF THE S/WV ENERGY OF THE MIDWEST UPPER TROF WILL
RESULT IN ANOTHER COASTAL LOW DEVELOPING OFF THE SE STATES XPCTD
TO REMAIN WELL S OF OUR FA LATE MON NGT AND TUE...BUT SOME OF THE
SHEARED ENERGY EXITING INTO THE NRN BR OF THE UPPER JET WILL
RESULT IN SOME CLDNSS TO OUR FA MON NGT INTO TUE MORN. WITH LITTLE
IN THE WAY OF ORG LIFT WITH THIS FEATURE...WE ONLY MENTION SLGT
CHC OF ANY SHWRS...AND THIS MAY BE GENEROUS. FOLLOWING THIS SYSTEM
HI PRES AT THE SFC AND AN UPPER RIDGE ALF TRIES RE-ESTABLISH
ITSELF OVR THE FA TUE AFTN AND TUE NGT...RESULTING IN CLRG SKIES
WITH MILDER DAYTIME HI TEMPS AND SEASONABLY COOL OVRNGT LOWS.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
WED AND THU LOOK TO BE MILDER...WITH HI TEMPS BOTH DAY NEAR OR ABV
50 DEG F ACROSS MUCH OF THE FA. A S/WV IN THE NRN BR OF THE UPPER
JET WILL BRING A COLD FRONT TOWARD THE FA LATER THU...SLOWLY CROSSING
THE FA THE FA THU NGT. THIS FEATURE WILL BRING THE NEXT GOOD
OPPORTUNITY OF PRECIP...MSLY IN THE FORM OF RN SHWRS...BUT
POSSIBLY ENDING AS A MIX OF RN/SN SHWRS LATE THU NGT ACROSS NRN
PTNS OF THE FA AS COLDER AIR PERHAPS ARRIVES BEFORE SHWRS END.

SEASONABLY COOL AIR ARRIVES FOR FRI AND FRI NGT AS CAN SFC HI PRES
APCHS AND CROSSES THE FA...FOLLOWED BY A FAIR AND SOMEWHAT MILDER
DAY ON SAT.

SHORT TO LONG TERM: A GALE WRNG WILL BE NEEDED THRU THIS EVE TO TAKE
