.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL MOVE EAST OF THE AREA TODAY. LOW PRESSURE WILL
APPROACH THE STATE OF MAINE FROM THE GREAT LAKES TONIGHT AND
REDEVELOP NEAR THE MAINE COAST BY FRIDAY MORNING. THE LOW IS THEN
EXPECTED TO MOVE NORTHEAST INTO THE CANADIAN MARITIMES BY FRIDAY
NIGHT.&&

SLIGHT ADJUSTMENTS TO BRING THE FORECAST INTO BETTER AGREEMENT
WITH CURRENT TRENDS.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
WEAK HIGH PRES RIDGE WILL MOVE THROUGH THE REGION TODAY W/SOME
CLEARING AND DRY CONDITIONS. NEAR NORMAL DAYTIME HIGH TEMPERATURES

EXPECTED TO RE-DEVELOP OFF THE NEW ENGLAND COAST TONIGHT AND THEN

SETUP BUT W/DIFFERENCES IN TIMING AND PLACEMENT. THE NAM LINED UP
WELL THE WHAT IS TAKING PLACE ATTM PER THE SATL WV IMAGERY AND 00Z
UA. THE GEM HAS BEEN LINING UP WELL AND THE DECISION WAS TO COMBINE
THE NAM AND REGIONAL GEM FOR TONIGHT ON TIMING OF THE PRECIP AND
TEMPERATURES. THEREFORE, TIMING OF THE PRECIPITATION WAS BACKED UP
TIL LATER THIS EVENING AS BEST MID/UPPER FORCING ALONG W/LLVL WAA
NOT TAKE FULL FORCE UNTIL AFTER 00Z. THE LATEST NAM/GEM SOUNDINGS
INDICATE OVERRUNNING GETTING SET AFTER 00Z W/PRECIPITATION MOVING
INTO WESTERN AND SOUTHWESTERN AREAS AND THEN THE OVERSPREADING THE
ENTIRE CWA NEAR OR AFTER 06Z. SOME EVAPORATIVE COOLING COULD ALLOW
FOR SOME SNOW OR RAIN/SNOW INITIALLY ACROSS THE WESTERN AND
NORTHWESTERN AREAS, BUT AS THE COLUMN MOISTENS, THINKING HERE IS
THAT PRECIPITATION WILL BE IN THE FORM OF A COLD RAIN. ANY SNOWFALL
ACCUMULATIONS OVERNIGHT IN THE WEST AND NORTHWEST WILL BE LIGHT AT

ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL AND DOWNEAST MAINE PRECIPITATION WILL BE IN
THE FORM OF RAIN. STEADY PRECIPITATION WILL DIMINISH BY FRIDAY
AFTERNOON BUT UNSETTLED CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE AS AN UPPER LEVEL
TROF LIFTS ACROSS THE REGION WITH THE CHANCE FOR AFTERNOON
SNOW/RAIN SHOWERS NORTH AND RAIN SHOWERS DOWNEAST. THE LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL CONTINUE TO SLOWLY LIFT NORTHEAST FRIDAY
THROUGH SATURDAY. THIS WILL KEEP SKIES PARTLY TO MOSTLY CLOUDY
ACROSS THE NORTH AND PARTLY CLOUDY DOWNEAST.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
