AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CARIBOU ME
157 AM EST SUN MAR 4 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE NORTHEAST OF THE REGION OVERNIGHT. A
SECONDARY COLD FRONT WILL STALL ACROSS THE REGION SUNDAY INTO
SUNDAY NIGHT AND THEN MOVE EAST OF THE REGION ON MONDAY WHILE AN
UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE CROSSES THE REGION. COLD CANADIAN HIGH
PRESSURE SHOULD THEN APPROACH MONDAY NIGHT AND CROSS THE REGION
ON TUESDAY.
&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
UPDATE: WINDS HAVE NOT COME UP AS MUCH AS EXPECTED DOWNEAST SO THE
WIND ADVISORY AS BEEN CANCELLED. MADE SKIES JUST A BIT CLEARER IN
SE PORTION OF OUR AREA THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD.
OTHERWISE...FORECAST REMAINS ON TRACK.

WELL AFT RECEIVING A SIG AMT OF ADDITIONAL SNFL THAN XPCTD OVR
PTNS OF THE NRN HLF OF THE FA...THE EVENT IS WINDING DOWN AS THE
BACK EDGE OF THE STEADY PRECIP IS CURRENTLY MOVG OF THE ME-NB
BORDER. WITH STRONG DRY SLOTTING XPCTD TO ADV EWRD FROM SE QB...
DOWNEAST AND E CNTRL PTNS OF THE FA SHOULD EXPERIENCE CLRG SKIES
AS WINDS BECOME WSW. EVEN THE N HLF OF THE FA SHOULD GET BREAKS
IN THE CLD CVR BY ERLY EVE BEFORE LLVL COLD ADVCN CONSOLIDATES
THE SC CLD CVR LATE TNGT. WINDS WILL THEN INCREASE LATER TNGT OVR
THE FA AS THE GRADIENT S OF THE DEPARTING PRIMARY LOW MOVG E THRU
QB TOWARD LABRADOR AFFECTS THE FA. THIS COULD RESULT IN PATCHY
BLOWING AND DRIFTING OF SNOW LATER TNGT ACROSS THE N WHERE TEMPS
WILL GENERALLY REMAIN MSLY BELOW FZG THRU ERLY THIS EVE.

AFT A FAIRLY MILD NGT WITH OVRNGT LOW TEMPS AND A FAIR START SUN
MORN...CLDS SHOULD INCREASE FROM W TO E ACROSS THE FA SUN LATER
SUN AFTN AS HI TEMPS REACH A LITTLE ABV SEASONAL NORMS...XCPT ONLY
NEAR NORMAL OVR THE NW. ANY SN SHWRS WILL ONLY REACH THE NW AND
FAR N LATE IN THE AFTN AT THE EARLIEST BASED ON THE LATEST MODEL
GUIDANCE.

&&

.SHORT TERM /MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
LOW PRESSURE WILL TRACK NORTHEAST SUNDAY NIGHT AND PASS EAST OF
NOVA SCOTIA ON MONDAY. A SECONDARY COLD FRONT/TROF IS EXPECTED TO
CROSS THE REGION SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY. AT THE SAME TIME...A H5
TROF APPROACHING FROM QUEBEC IS EXPECTED TO CROSS THE REGION.
LATEST OPERATIONAL MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH REGARD TO
BRINGING A PERIOD OF LIGHT SNOW TO NORTHERN MOST MAINE LATER
SUNDAY EVENING THROUGH MID DAY MONDAY. WENT WITH LIKELY POPS
ACROSS THE NORTH BUT THINK MID CREW MIGHT BE ABLE TO GO WITH
CATEGORICAL IF CURRENT TRENDS CONTINUE. QPF LOOKS TO BE ON THE
LIGHT SIDE /0.10-0.15/...HOWEVER SNOW RATIOS WILL BE CLOSE TO 20:1
SO THINKING IS WE COULD ACCUMULATIONS OF 2 TO 3 INCHES FROM LATER
SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MID DAY MONDAY...MAINLY ACROSS FAR NORTHERN
MAINE ZONES 1/2. THE TROF IS EXPECTED TO MOVE EAST MONDAY
AFTERNOON WITH ANY SNOW ENDING BY LATE AFTERNOON. PARTIAL CLEARING
IS EXPECTED LATER MONDAY NIGHT AS HIGH PRESSURE STARTS TO BUILD
EAST. HIGH PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD TOWARD THE REGION ON
TUESDAY WITH FAIR WEATHER EXPECTED. TEMPERATURES THROUGH THIS
PERIOD WILL BE A BIT BELOW NORMAL FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AT THE START OF THE LONG TERM THE GFS AND ECMWF ARE IN GOOD
AGREEMENT ON THE POSITION OF THE MAIN SYSTEMS. A LOW IN THE N
ATLANTIC SE OF NOVA SCOTIA...A HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE BUILT ACROSS
THE AREA...A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WITH MULTIPLE LOWS EXTENDING
FROM HUDSON BAY TO NEW MEXICO. BY WEDNESDAY MORNING THE LOW SE OF
NOVA SCOTIA WILL MOVE INTO THE MARITIMES. THE HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE
WILL MOVE INTO THE GULF OF MAINE...AND THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM
ACROSS THE PLAINS WILL MOVE INTO THE WRN GREAT LAKES. BY THURSDAY
THE RIDGE WILL SHIFT FURTHER INTO THE N ATLANTIC AS THE LOW OVER
HUDSON BAY MOVES INTO NRN QUEBEC. THE FRONTAL SYSTEM WILL EXTEND
SW ACROSS THE CENTRAL GREAT LAKES. BY THURSDAY EVENING THE MODELS
BEGIN TO SHOW SOME DIFFERENCES. THE GFS MOVES THE LOW INTO THE NRN
CANADIAN MARITIMES WITH THE COLD FRONT EXTENDING SW ACROSS THE
CENTRAL GREAT LAKES REGION. THE ECMWF MOVES THE LOW TO THE CENTRAL
PORTIONS OF NRN QUEBEC. WITH THE FRONT EXTENDING SW ACROSS THE
CENTRAL GREAT LAKES. BY THURSDAY EVENING THE GFS MOVES THE COLD
FRONT INTO NWRN MAINE. THE GFS SHOWS A NEW LOW OVER HUDSON BAY AND
A RIDGE BUILDING S INTO THE NRN PLAINS. THE ECMWF MAINTAINS THE
LOW OVER CENTRAL NRN QUEBEC. DEVELOPS A NEW LOW OVER SWRN
QUEBEC...MOVE THE COLD FRONT INTO THE ERN GREAT LAKES REGION. ALSO
HAS A NEW HIGH BUILDING S INTO THE NRN PLAINS. BY FRIDAY MORNING
THE GFS MOVES THE FRONT INTO THE COASTAL WATERS...EXTENDING ACROSS
SRN NEW ENGLAND TO SRN IL TO A NEW LOW OVER NERN TX. THE ECMWF
MOVES THE LOW OVER SWRN QUEBEC TO SERN QUEBEC...EXTENDS THE COLD
FRONT S TO THE FL PANHANDLE. FRIDAY EVENING THE GFS MOVES THE COLD
FRONT SE OVER NOVA SCOTIA. THE NEW LOW MOVES E TO MS. HIGHER
PRESSURE BUILDS INTO WRN ME. THE ECMWF MAINTAINS THE STATIONARY
FRONT ALONG THE QUEBEC/MAINE BORDER...WITH THE FRONT EXTENDING
SOUTH TO ERN FL. BY SATURDAY MORNING THE GFS BUILDS THE HIGH INTO
MAINE. THE LOW OVER MS MOVES EAST INTO AL. THE ECMWF MOVES THE
STATIONARY FRONT INTO WRN ME. BY THE END OF THE PERIOD THE HIGH
PRESSURE RIDGE REMAINS ACROSS THE AREA ON THE GFS. THE ECMWF
FINALLY MOVES THE FRONT THROUGH MAINE INTO WRN NEW BRUNSWICK.

LOADED GMOS...ADJUSTED THE SKY AND POP GRIDS TO BETTER SUPPORT
ONE ANOTHER. LOADED NAWAVE 4 FOR SEAS IN THE COASTAL WATERS. PLUS
15 PERCENT FOR WIND GUSTS OVER LAND...20 PERCENT OVER WATER. &&

.AVIATION /20Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
NEAR TERM: IFR CONDITIONS SHOULD IMPROVE QUICKLY TO VFR OVR THE
DOWNEAST SITES AND TO AT LEAST MVFR OVR NRN TAF SITES AS A DRY
SLOT WEST OF THE FA PUSHES STEADY PRECIP E OF THE FA. PREDOMINATELY

SITES SHOULD THEN CONT OVRNGT INTO SUN...WITH EVEN NRN TAF SITES
VFR ATTMS.

SHORT TERM: VFR CONDITIONS WILL START THE PERIOD OFF SUNDAY NIGHT.
HOWEVER...KCAR/KPQI STANDS A GOOD CHANCE OF SEEING MVFR/IFR
CONDITIONS AFTER 06Z MON THROUGH 18Z MON AS SECONDARY COLD
FRONT/TROF MOVES ACROSS THE REGION ACCOMPANIED BY A PERIOD OF
LIGHT SNOW. OTHERWISE...KHUL/KBGR/KBHB TERMINALS SHOULD SEE VFR
CONDITIONS THROUGH THE PERIOD.

&&

.AVIATION /07Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
NEAR TERM: XPCT LOCALIZED BR AND IFR CIGS TO DISSIPATE BY 04/04Z AS
WINDS INCREASE AT ALL TAF SITES.

SHORT TERM: VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED AT THE START OF SUNDAY NIGHT.
KCAR AND KPQI MAY EXPERIENCE MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS AFTER 06Z MONDAY
AS A SECONDARY COLD FRONT MOVES ACRS THE REGION WITH A PERIOD OF
LIGHT SNOW. KHUL/KBGR/KBHB SHOULD SEE VFR CONDITIONS THROUGHOUT
THE PERIOD.
