AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAY ME
736 PM EDT WED JUN 8 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL BRING HOT AND HUMID WEATHER TO MUCH
OF THE AREA THROUGH THURSDAY. A COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE AREA
THURSDAY NIGHT...WITH THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED AHEAD OF IT. SOME OF
THE THUNDERSTORMS COULD BE SEVERE. COOLER AND DRIER WEATHER IS
EXPECTED TO FOLLOW THIS FRONT FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. LOW PRESSURE
MAY BRING A CHANCE OF RAIN LATE SUNDAY INTO MONDAY. HIGH PRESSURE
WILL BUILD OVER THE REGION LATE MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY PRODUCING
MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES AND DRY WEATHER.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THURSDAY MORNING/...
PRODUCTS UPDATE TO INCLUDE SEVERE TSTM WATCHES FOR ALL BUT SE NH
AND THE WRN MOUNTAINS AND FOOTHILLS OF MAINE THRU THIS EVENING.

WILL UPDATE TO ADJUST SKY COVER AND CHC OF PRCP INTO THIS EVENING
PER LATEST SATELLITE LOOP AND RADAR MOSAIC LOOP. NO ECHOES OVER
THE FCST AREA AT THIS TIME BUT ISOLD TO MAYBE SCT CONVECTION WILL
SPREAD INTO THE N/MT ZONES THRU THE EARLY EVENING HOURS. MOST
CLOUDS LIMITED TO PARTS OF THE N/MT ZONES AND ALONG THE MID COAST
AND OFFSHORE WHERE REGION OF STRATUS CLOUDS MOVING TOWARD THE
COAST FROM THE OCEAN. ANY OTHER CHANGES JUST VERY MINOR TWEAKS
BASED ON LATEST OBSERVED DATA.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
LACK OF ADEQUATE MOISTURE HAS LIMITED CONVECTIVE POTENTIAL THIS
AFTERNOON ACROSS MAINE AND NEW HAMPSHIRE. SOME GROWING CUMULUS
FIELDS HAVE BEEN NOTED ON SATELLITE ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN OF
VERMONT IN AN AREA OF GREATER MOISTURE LEVELS...INCLUDING
DEWPOINTS IN THE UPPER 60S TO NEAR 70 DEGREES. EXPECT THE STRENGTH
OF THE UPPER RIDGE AND WARM AIR ALOFT TO PREVENT THUNDERSTORM
DEVELOPMENT THIS AFTERNOON...THOUGH IF A STORM CAN DEVELOP OVER
THE HIGHER TERRAIN AND MOVE INTO NEW HAMPSHIRE IT COULD BECOME
SEVERE WITH DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL.

THE GREATER THREAT FOR THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE TONIGHT. THERE MAY BE
A COMPLEX OF THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING ALONG THE COLD FRONT IN
ONTARIO AND QUEBEC THIS AFTERNOON. THESE MAY MOVE INTO NORTHERN
NEW ENGLAND...ESPECIALLY NORTHERN MAINE AND NEW HAMPSHIRE LATER
THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
THE HOT AND HUMID AIR MASS OVER NEW YORK AND WESTERN VERMONT TODAY
WILL ADVECT EASTWARD ON WESTERLY WINDS BY THURSDAY. A COLD FRONT
WILL BE APPROACHING FROM THE NORTH OUT OF QUEBEC. THE COMBINATION OF
LIFT ASSOCIATED FROM THE FRONT AND THE INSTABILITY GENERATED BY
THE HIGH LOW LEVEL HEAT AND HUMIDITY WILL LEAD TO SCATTERED TO
NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS BY THURSDAY AFTERNOON. OVERALL
WIND SHEAR WILL BE MARGINALLY CONDUCIVE FOR MULTICELL OR EVEN
SUPERCELL STORM STRUCTURE...ESPECIALLY FURTHER TO THE NORTH AND
LATER IN THE EVENING. THIS WILL BRING A THREAT FOR LARGE HAIL AND
DAMAGING WINDS WITH THE THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH THURSDAY EVENING.

THE COLD FRONT WILL PASS THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT...BRINGING COOLER
AND DRIER AIR INTO THE AREA.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
FRONTAL BOUNDARY MOVES OFFSHORE EARLY FRIDAY WITH COOLER AND DRIER
AIR FILTERING IN FROM THE NORTH. ZONAL FLOW ALOFT WILL KEEP THINGS
MOVING THOUGH AS ANOTHER SURFACE LOW APPROACHES THE REGION FROM
THE WEST ON SATURDAY. THIS SYSTEM WILL TAKE A LITTLE LONGER TO
MOVE THROUGH AND WILL PRODUCE A THREAT OF RAIN THROUGH SUNDAY
NIGHT. AS THE UPPER LEVEL FLOW TURNS MORE TO THE NORTHWEST HIGH
PRESSURE WILL BEGIN TO BUILD OVER NEW ENGLAND AT THE SURFACE LATE
MONDAY AND THROUGH WEDNESDAY.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
SHORT TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...SVR TSTM WATCH INCLUDES LEB
AND CON THRU 11 PM THIS EVENING. STRONG TO PSBL SVR TSTMS EXPECTED
AND THEY MAY MOVE TOWARD THE OTHER TAF SITES LATER ON THIS EVENING
OR POSSIBLY OVERNIGHT. MORE STRONG CONVECTION PSBL ON THURSDAY
WITH A SLGT RISK OF SVR WX. SOME STRATUS AND F MAY MOVE IN OFF THE
OCEAN TNGT LOWERING CIG AND VSBY TO IFR/LIFR AT PWM AND AUG AND
POSSIBLY AS FAR W AS PSM. NOT EXPECTING MUCH AT CON AND LEB THOUGH
IF THEY GET A PERIOD OF RN FROM A TSTM THEN THAT COULD LEAD TO
SOME LOCAL F FORMATION OVERNIGHT. CD FNT MOVES THRU WITH FAIR WX
TO FOLLOW THURSDAY NGT.

LONG TERM...VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THROUGHOUT THE PERIOD WITH
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS LATE SATURDAY AND SUNDAY.

&&

.MARINE...
SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...WINDS AND SEAS
REMAIN BELOW SCA LEVELS. MAIN CONCERN IS A STRONG COLD FRONT THAT
WILL MOVE ACROSS THE WATERS THURSDAY NGT. STRONG TSTMS ARE PSBL
AHEAD OF THE FNT WITH WINDS SHIFTING FROM SW TO NW WITH THE
PASSAGE OF THE FNT.

LONG TERM...LOOKS QUIET ON THE WATERS.

&&

.GYX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
ME...NONE.
NH...NONE.
MARINE...NONE.
