AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAY ME
647 AM EDT SUN APR 17 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
HEAVY RAIN IN ADVANCE OF A COLD FRONT WILL END THIS
AFTERNOON...WITH SOME BREAKS OF SUN AND GUSTY WINDS. HIGH
PRESSURE WILL BUILD TO OUR NORTH MONDAY AND TUESDAY AS A FRONT
REMAINS STALLED JUST TO OUR SOUTH. LOW PRESSURE WILL ARRIVE BY
WEDNESDAY WITH MORE CLOUDS AND PRECIPITATION. A RIDGE OF HIGH
PRESSURE AND DRY AIR FOLLOWS FOR LATE THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /TODAY/...
STRONG COLD FRONT CROSSING NEW ENGLAND ATTM. AHEAD OF IT STRONG
SERLY FLOW HAS DEVELOPED. MOISTURE TRANSPORT WITH FLOW
PERPENDICULAR TO THE TERRAIN IS WRINGING THIS OUT IN THE FORM OF
HEAVY RAINFALL OVER CNTRL NH AND SWRN ME. AMOUNTS SHOULD GENERALLY
BE AROUND 1 INCH...WITH LOCALLY NEAR 2 INCHES AT FAVORED SERLY
UPSLOPE AREAS. AS STATED IN HYDRO SECTION...RUNOFF AND SNOW MELT
WILL LEAD TO ADDITIONAL RISES ON ALREADY SWOLLEN AREA RIVERS...AND
HAVE LEFT FLOOD WATCH UP AS A RESULT. OTHER CONCERN IN THE NEAR
TERM IS THE WIND. STRONG LOW LVL WINDS AOA 60 KTS BELOW 1 KFT WILL
HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO MIX DOWN THROUGH DAWN. BUFKIT SOUNDINGS SHOW
A SMALL MIXED LAYER FOR COASTAL SITES...WITH POTENTIAL GUSTS TO 50
KTS. FOR THIS REASON HAVE CONTINUED WITH HIGH WIND WARNING...AS
THE NEXT FEW HOURS SHOULD BE THE GREATEST THREAT. WIND ADVISORY IS
A LITTLE MORE UP IN THE AIR. STRONG INVERSION SHOULD PRECLUDE
STRONGEST WINDS FROM BEING REALIZED AT THE SURFACE. BUT ANY AMOUNT
OF MIXING OR ANY INCREASE IN ELEVATION WILL RESULT IN A NOTICEABLE
INCREASE IN WIND SPEED. WOULD NOT TAKE MUCH IN THAT CASE TO
SUSTAIN WINDS ABOVE 27 KTS. AFTER 12Z FLOW BECOMES MORE WRLY AND
DOWNSLOPING WILL DRY OUT THE COASTAL ZONES. UPSLOPE SHOWERS
CONTINUE OVER HIGHER TERRAIN THROUGH THE DAY. A SHORTWAVE TROF AND
COLD TEMPS ALOFT COULD RESULT IN A LATE INCREASE IN SHOWER
ACTIVITY WITH THE HEATING OF THE DAY...WITH THE GREATEST THREAT
OVER THE CT RIVER VALLEY.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT/...
ANY DIURNAL SHOWERS SHOULD TAPER OFF...LEAVING WNW UPSLOPE FLOW
AND SHOWERS OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN. COLDER AIR BLEEDING IN BEHIND
THE FRONT WILL DROP NRN ZONES IN THE THE 20S...WITH 30S ALONG THE
COAST. SUB FREEZING TEMPS OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN WILL ALLOW FOR
SNOW SHOWERS...BUT ACCUMULATIONS WILL REMAIN AN INCH OR LESS.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
ON THE LARGE SCALE...MODELS HAVE BEEN FAIRLY CONSISTENT WITH THE
FORECAST FOR THE COMING WEEK OVER THE LAST SEVERAL RUNS. HIGH PRES
BUILDS N FOR MONDAY...WITH POSSIBLE FLY IN THE OINTMENT BEING WEAK
WAVE TRAVELING ALONG STATIONARY FRONT OVER SRN NEW ENGLAND AND
MID-ATLANTIC STATES. THIS WILL LIKELY BRING SOME CLOUDS TO SRN
ZONES MON AFTERNOON AND EVENING...AND HAS AN OUTSIDE CHANCE TO BRING
SOME SHRA INTO FAR SRN ZONES.

OTHERWISE HIGHER CONFIDENCE OF SOME PRECIPITATION...MOSTLY RA...SN
IN THE MTNS...LATE TUESDAY INTO WED NIGHT...AS LOW PRES SHIFTS FROM
THE OH VLY INTO SRN QUEBEC. THIS DOES NOT LOOK LIKE A STRONG
SYSTEM...AND HIGH QPFS ARE NOT EXPECTED...WITH BEST CHC FOR PRECIP
COMING LATE TUE NIGHT IN WAA...AND AGAIN WED NIGHT WITH COLD
FROPA.

HIGH PRES BUILDS IN AGAIN FOR THU-FRI...WITH ANOTHER POSSIBLE LOW
TRACKING TO THE WEST ON SAT.

&&

.AVIATION /12Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
SHORT TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY/...IFR CONDITIONS WILL BE POSSIBLE IN
HEAVY RAIN THIS MORNING...OTHERWISE GENERAL IMPROVEMENT TO MVFR IS
EXPECTED. STRONG SE WINDS POSSIBLE AT ALL TERMINALS BEFORE
12Z...ESPECIALLY KPSM AND KPWM WITH GUSTS AOA 40 KTS. LATER TODAY
NW WINDS WILL DEVELOP WITH GUSTS AROUND 25 KTS AT ALL TERMINALS.

LONG TERM...VFR MON AND TUE. FLIGHT RESTRICTIONS IN -RA AND LOW
CIGS TUE NIGHT INTO WED NIGHT. COULD SEE A BREAK WITH VFR DURING
THE DAY ON WED.

&&

.MARINE...
SHORT TERM...STORM WARNINGS CONTINUE FOR STRONG SE WINDS OVER
WATERS. RECENT GUSTS TO 48 KTS WILL INCREASE IN THE NEXT FEW HOURS
AS STRONGEST WINDS ALOFT MOVE OVERHEAD. AFTER 12Z WINDS WILL
GRADUALLY DIMINISH BEFORE NW FLOW DEVELOPS IN THE AFTN. WINDS WILL
AT LEAST BE SCA...POSSIBLY LOW END GALE...IN NW FLOW. SEAS WILL
REMAIN HIGH THROUGH THE SHORT TERM.

LONG TERM...LINGERING SCA WINDS MONDAY...BUT DIMINISHING MON
NIGHT.  MAY NEED SCA ONCE AGAIN TUE NIGHT THROUGH WED NIGHT.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
HEAVY RN TNGT AND SUNDAY MORNING SHOULD HELP WET FUELS AND LOWER
THE FIRE DANGER...HOWEVER...SN WILL CONT TO MELT.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
WILL CONT THE FLOOD WATCH AS IS. SLIGHTLY HIGHER QPF FOR THE UPPER
MERRIMACK TRIBUTARIES...COULD CAUSE SOME MINOR FLOODING
THERE...AND STILL WATCHING THE CONNECTICUT...SACO...ANDROSCOGGIN AND
KENNEBEC...AS SNOW MELT CONTINUES TO SWELL THESE RIVERS.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
CURRENT TIDES RUNNING CLOSE TO 2 ABOVE PREDICTED. THE NEXT HIGH
TIDE IS FORECAST TO BE 10.7 FEET AT 1100 AM AT PORTLAND. STORM
SURGE BETWEEN 1 AND 2 FEET WILL PUSH THE TIDE CLOSE TO OR ABOVE
THE 12 FOOT TIDAL FLOOD STAGE AT PORTLAND. HAVE GONE WITH A
COASTAL FLOOD WARNING FOR CUMBERLAND COUNTY SOUTH...WITH AN
ADVISORY NORTH FOR THE MIDCOAST. WITH HIGH SEAS AND ONSHORE
FLOW...SPLASHOVER AND BEACH EROSION WILL ALSO BE LIKELY IN THE
HOUR SURROUNDING HIGH TIDE.
