FRIDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
UPDATE...AS LOW PRESSURE APPROACHES FROM THE WEST, INCREASED
CLOUDS AND RAISED LOWS FOR TONIGHT. EVENING MODEL RUNS JUST
STARTING TO COME IN. NEW NAM RUN ALONG WITH EARLIER MODEL RUNS
FROM TODAY INDICATE CHANGEOVER WILL OCCUR EARLY ENOUGH ACROSS

FINAL DECISION AFTER VIEWING THE REMAINDER OF THE MODELS RUN.

A BAND OF THICK STRATUS AND LIGHT SHOWERS OFF THE COAST OF MAINE

LOWER 30S ALONG THE DOWNEAST COAST.

AS THE WARM FRONT ADVANCES NORTH...LOW PRESSURE WILL TRACK ACROSS
THE GREAT LAKES REGION AND THROUGH SOUTHERN QUEBEC WEDNESDAY. AS
THIS OCCURS PRECIPITATION WILL SPREAD FROM SW TO NE ACROSS MAINE.
THE COLD AND DRY AIRMASS AT THE SURFACE WILL RESULT IN THE
PRECIPITATION STARTING OFF AS SNOW AT MOST LOCATIONS. AS THE WARMER
AIRMASS MOVES NORTH...THE FROZEN PRECIPITATION WILL BE CONFINED TO THE
NORTHERN TWO-THIRDS OF THE REGION...MIXING WITH RAIN BY THE
AFTERNOON.

CLOSER TO THE EVENT THE MODELS HAVE BECOME MORE BULLISH WITH
QPF...AND THE CONSENSUS IS THAT NORTHERN COUNTIES COULD SEE AS MUCH
AS 4-8 INCHES OF SNOW BEFORE THE STORM WINDS DOWN WEDNESDAY NIGHT.

&&

SECTOR. A COLD FRONT WILL SWEEP THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/SUNDAY
MORNING. HIGH PRESSURE AND DRY WEATHER WILL ARRIVE FOR SUNDAY INTO
MONDAY.

&&

.AVIATION /02Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
