AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CARIBOU ME
417 PM EST MON JAN 2 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
AN ARCTIC FRONT WILL CROSS THE REGION TONIGHT. COLD HIGH PRESSURE
WILL THEN BUILD ACROSS THE REGION THROUGH MID WEEK.
&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AN ARCTIC FRONT WILL CROSS THE REGION TONIGHT...EXITING THE
SOUTHEAST CORNER OF THE FORECAST AREA LATE TONIGHT. ANY LINGERING
RAIN/SNOW SHOWERS DOWNEAST WILL DISSIPATE THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF
THE AFTERNOON. SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS WILL PERSIST ACROSS THE
NORTH/MOUNTAINS TONIGHT. OTHERWISE...EXPECT PARTLY/MOSTLY CLOUDY
SKIES ACROSS NORTHERN AREAS TONIGHT WITH PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES
DOWNEAST. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD EAST TUESDAY. PARTLY/MOSTLY
CLOUDY SKIES ALONG WITH ISOLATED SNOW SHOWERS WILL OCCUR ACROSS
THE NORTH AND MOUNTAINS TUESDAY...WITH PARTLY/MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES
DOWNEAST. GUSTY WINDS WILL OCCUR TUESDAY. LOW TEMPERATURES
TONIGHT WILL RANGE THROUGH THE SINGLE DIGITS NORTH...TO THE UPPER
TEENS INTERIOR DOWNEAST WITH AROUND 20 TO THE LOWER 20S ALONG THE
DOWNEAST COAST. WITH COLD ADVECTION IN THE WAKE OF THE
FRONT...EXPECT TEMPERATURES WILL BE NEAR STEADY TUESDAY WITH
LITTLE RECOVERY FROM THE MORNING LOWS.
&&

.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
WITH COLD AIR IN PLACE AND STRONG NW WINDS CONTINUING THROUGH THE
NIGHT...THE MOST NOTABLE FEATURE FOR TUESDAY NIGHT WILL BE WIND
CHILLS WELL BELOW ZERO ACROSS THE AREA...LASTING INTO EARLY
WEDNESDAY MORNING. AN ADVISORY SEEMS LIKELY FOR NORTHERN ZONES ONE
THROUGH FOUR...POSSIBLY EXTENDING TO FIVE AND SIX. THIS COLD AIR
WILL ALSO RESULT IN LOW LEVEL INSTABILITY OFFSHORE. EXPECT THAT
THE COLD AIR WILL NEED A LONGER TRAJECTORY TO MOVE OFFSHORE...BUT
WILL STILL INCLUDE SLIGHT CHC SNOW SHOWERS FOR OUTER ISLANDS AND
THE FAR SE CORNER OF WASHINGTON COUNTY. LOWS WEDNESDAY NIGHT WILL
RANGE FROM THE LOW SINGLE DIGITS DOWN EAST TO SUBZERO READINGS IN
THE CROWN. THE WINDS SHOULD KEEP READING FROM FALLING BELOW MINUS
10 IN THE ALLAGASH.

HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING ON WEDNESDAY WILL BRING SUNNY BUT VERY COLD
CONDITIONS WITH HIGHS IN THE MID TEENS DOWN EAST AND SINGLE DIGITS
NORTH OF HOULTON. TEMPS WILL INITIALLY PLUMMET TOWARDS ZERO NORTH
AND TOWARDS THE SINGLE DIGITS DOWN EAST ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT BUT SW
WINDS AND INCREASING HIGH CLOUDS ARE EXPECTED TO RESULT IN
TEMPERATURES RISING BY MIDNIGHT. TWO SHORTWAVES ARE EXPECTED TO
IMPACT THE AREA WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY...BRINGING A
REINFORCING SHOT OF COLD AIR. EXPECT THESE SYSTEMS TO BRING SNOW
SHOWERS OR FLURRIES TO MOST OF THE AREA DURING THIS TIME FRAME
EXCEPT INTERIOR DOWN EAST TO INCLUDE THE BGR AREA. ANY
ACCUMULATIONS WOULD BE IN THE TRACE TO AN ISOLATED INCH RANGE. THE
WILD CARD WILL BE RIGHT ALONG THE COAST FOR ZONES 29 AND 30 THE
COLD AIR ADVECTION BRINGS INSTABILITY OVER THE WARMER OFFSHORE
WATERS. FOR NOW...HAVE INCLUDED CHC POPS FOR SNOW SHOWERS FOR THE
OUTER ISLANDS AND ALONG THE COAST FROM PENOBSCOT BAY TOWARDS
EASTPORT DURING THURSDAY. BUFKIT SHOWS SUFFICIENT LIFT AND
MOISTURE BLO H700 FOR ACCUMULATING SNOW SHOWERS IN THESE AREAS
THURSDAY.
&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE WILL BE MOVING EAST THROUGH THE MARITIMES
THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY AS A WEAK RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE MOVES
IN. THE HIGH WILL BE CENTERED WELL SOUTH OF THE REGION WITH ONLY A
WEAK SURFACE RIDGE EXTENDING NORTH INTO MAINE. GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO
SHOW A WEAK AND FAST MOVING SHORTWAVE AND ASSOCIATED LOW PRESSURE
MOVING IN FRIDAY NIGHT AND PULLING A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE THROUGH
EARLY SATURDAY MORNING. FOR NOW WILL BE FORECASTING THE CHANCE FOR
SNOW SHOWERS WITH THIS. HOWEVER...THERE WILL BE THE POTENTIAL FOR A
PERIOD OF LIGHT SNOW VERY LATE FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY AS THE
TROUGH MOVES THROUGH. SOME OF THE MODELS INCLUDING THE LATEST GFS
HAVE BEEN HINTING AT THE POSSIBILITY THAT A SECONDARY SURFACE LOW
MAY DEVELOP ALONG THE MAINE COAST SATURDAY MORNING AS THE TROUGH
MOVES THROUGH. A SECONDARY DEVELOPMENT WOULD INCREASE THE POTENTIAL
FOR A PERIOD OF SNOW EARLY SATURDAY. HOWEVER...WINDS ALOFT ARE VERY
FAST AND VERY ZONAL SO IT IS ANTICIPATED THAT ANY SECONDARY
DEVELOPMENT WOULD BE QUICK TO MOVE EAST AND AWAY BEFORE PRODUCING
MUCH SNOW. A WEAK RIDGE FOLLOWS FOR LATE SATURDAY. ANOTHER WEAK AND
FAST MOVING TROUGH WILL MOVE THROUGH SUNDAY WITH A CHANCE FOR SNOW
SHOWERS...MAINLY OVER THE NORTH. HIGH PRESSURE SHOULD THEN FOLLOW
FOR EARLY NEXT WEEK.
&&

.AVIATION /20Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
NEAR TERM: GENERALLY VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED ACROSS THE REGION
TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY. HOWEVER...OCCASIONAL MVFR CONDITIONS ARE
POSSIBLE ACROSS THE NORTH/MOUNTAINS TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY. GUSTY
WINDS ARE EXPECTED TUESDAY.

SHORT TERM: NW WINDS WILL GUST TO 25 KT TUESDAY NIGHT...BUT
DECREASE WEDNESDAY. VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH THE
PERIOD. OTHERWISE...MVFR CEILINGS EXPECTED NORTH OF HUL FOR LATER
WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY WITH TEMPO IFR IN SNOW SHOWERS. ALSO
EXPECT TEMPO IFR IN SNOW SHOWERS DURING THURSDAY FOR BHB. OCCASIONAL
MVFR CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE LATER FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY.
&&

.MARINE...
NEAR TERM: A GALE WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR THE WATERS THROUGH
EARLY THIS EVENING. SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CONDITIONS ARE THEN
EXPECTED LATER THIS EVENING THROUGH TUESDAY.
