AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAY ME
ISSUED BY NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CARIBOU ME
351 PM EST THU DEC 15 2011
.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE TRACKING THROUGH THE QUEBEC PROVINCE WILL BRING A
COLD FRONT TROUGH THE REGION LATE TONIGHT. A SECONDARY COLD FRONT
WILL CROSS THE REGION ON FRIDAY WITH MUCH COLDER AIR EXPECTED
THROUGH THE WEEKEND.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY/...
CHALLENGE THIS TERM WILL BE TEMPERATURES AND WINDS.
GMOS HAS BEEN RUNNING TOO COLD. THE GEM AND HRRR3KM TEMPERATURES
MUCH CLOSER TO REALITY AND THAT IS HOW THE TEMPERATURES WERE
PLAYED OUT TONIGHT AND THEN A BLEND OF THE GFS/NAM AND GEM WERE
USED FOR FRIDAY. WHAT THIS MEANS IS THAT TEMPERATURES WERE
CONTINUE THEIR CLIMB THIS EVENING INTO THE OVERNIGHT HRS AND THEN
LEVEL OFF AS THE 1ST OF 2 COLD FRONTS ARRIVES LATER TONIGHT. THE
AIRMASS ASSOCIATED W/THE 1ST FRONT WILL BE SOMEWHAT COOLER BUT
TEMPERATURES WILL BE ABOVE FREEZING FOR THE MOST OF THE NIGHT
W/PRECIPITATION STAYING IN THE FORM OF RAIN SHOWERS. THE 2ND
FRONT(ARCTIC) WILL MOVE ACROSS THE REGION DURING THE DAY ON
FRIDAY W/MAX TEMPERATURES BEING REALIZED EARLY THEN READINGS WILL
FALL SHARPLY BY THE AFTERNOON. THE ASSOCIATED UPPER TROF WILL BE
ENOUGH TO KICK OFF SOME SNOW SHOWER/SQUALL ACTION MAINLY ACROSS
THE HIGHER TERRAIN AND THE MTNS W/MINOR SNOWFALL ACCUMULATIONS.
THE OTHER CONCERN WILL BE THE WINDS BEING ABLE TO MIX DOWN ACROSS
THE REGION ON FRIDAY. THE NAM AND GFS BOTH SHOW 40-50KT WINDS
FROM 925-850MBS TRYING TO MIX DOWN TO THE SFC. NW WINDS ALIGNED
RIGHT THROUGH 850MBS W/MOMENTUM TRANSFER SHOWING 40+KTS POSSIBLY
MIXING DOWN W/IN 3K FT. DECIDED TO GO W/A WIND ADVISORY FOR THE
ENTIRE CWA FOR FRIDAY. THIS WAS COORDINATED W/BOTH BTV & BOX.
&&
.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED OVER THE THE GREAT LAKES WILL BUILD ACROSS
THE REGION FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY AND THEN CREST OVER THE AREA
ON SUNDAY. EXPECT DRY CONDITIONS WITH SEASONAL TEMPERATURES FOR
THE WEEKEND.
&&
.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
HIGH PRESSURE MOVES EAST OF THE REGION SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY.
BOTH GFS AND ECMWF TAKE NEXT LOW PRESSURE NORTH OF THE REGION
MONDAY INTO MONDAY NIGHT WITH THE BEST CHANCE OF SNOW OVER QUEBEC.
AS LOW MOVES NORTHEAST OF THE REGION, ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT WILL
CROSS THE REGION MONDAY NIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE THEN BUILDS ACROSS
THE AREA TUESDAY INTO TUESDAY NIGHT. STILL A LOT OF UNCERTAINTY
FOR MIDWEEK. THE ECMWF KEEPS LOW PRESSURE WEAK AND JUST SOUTH OF
THE REGION. THE GFS TRACKS THE LOW THROUGH NEW HAMPSHIRE WITH RAIN
AND SNOW FOR MOST OF THE REGION. FOR NOW WILL KEEP LOW POPS IN THE
FORECAST FOR WEDNESDAY UNTIL THERE IS MORE AGREEMENT AND CONSISTENCE
IN THE MODELS.
&&
.AVIATION /20Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
SHORT TERM... IFR ATTM GOING TO MVFR LATER THIS EVENING INTO THE
OVERNIGHT PERIOD. THE EXCEPTION WILL BE KLEB AS CONDITIONS WILL BE
HOLDING LONGER AT IFR. CONDITIONS EXPECTED TO HIT VFR AT 10-12Z FRIDAY.
LONG TERM...VFR CONDITIONS FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY.
&&
.MARINE...
SHORT TERM...COORDINATED W/BOX AND CAR IN EXTENDING THE HEADLINES
THROUGH FRIDAY. SURGE OF STRONGER WINDS OVERNIGHT AND ESPECIALLY
ON FRIDAY. KEPT STRONG SCA FOR THE INTRACOASTAL AREAS W/A GALE IN
THE OUTER WATERS. FOLLOWED CLOSE W/THE WNAWAVE INTO FRIDAY
W/ADJUSTMENTS THIS EVENING TO START OUT LOWER AS THE GUIDANCE IS
RUNNING A FOOT TOO HIGHER PER THE LATEST OBS.
LONG TERM...WINDS AND SEAS WILL DROP BELOW SCA CRITERIA FRIDAY
NIGHT AND REMAIN BELOW SCA LEVELS THROUGH SUNDAY.
