&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
1 PM UPDATE...JUST SOME MINOR TWEAKS TO AFTERNOON GRIDS BUT NO
SIGNIFICANT CHANGES NEEDED SINCE CURRENT FORECAST ON TRACK.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION
A STRONG UPPER LEVEL LOW DROPPING SOUTH INTO THE MID ATLANTIC
REGION WILL SUPPORT A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WHICH WILL FORM OFF CAPE
COD EARLY THIS MORNING THEN INTENSIFY AS IT MOVES NORTH ACROSS THE
GULF OF MAINE AND ONTO THE MAINE COAST TODAY. AN AREA OF SHOWERS
OVER THE OCEAN OFF CAPE COD IS EXPECTED TO BECOME AN ORGANIZED
AREA OF RAIN AND EXPAND IN COVERAGE AS IT MOVES NORTH INTO OUR
REGION THIS MORNING. RAIN WILL SPREAD FROM NORTH TO SOUTH THIS
MORNING AND BRING BETWEEN THREE QUARTERS OF AN INCH TO AN INCH OF
RAIN IN MOST AREAS AS IT LIFTS NORTH THROUGH THE REGION TODAY.
DRIER AIR ALOFT CIRCULATING AROUND THE UPPER LOW MAY LIFT NORTH
ONTO THE DOWNEAST AREA THIS AFTERNOON. RAIN WILL TAPER OFF TO
PATCHY SHOWERS AND DRIZZLE BUT LOW CLOUDS WILL LIKELY REMAIN. THE
DRIER AIR ALOFT MAY CONTINUE NORTH TONIGHT ALLOWING RAIN TO TAPER
OFF FOR A WHILE. HOWEVER...THE STRONG UPPER LOW WILL BE LIFTING
NORTHEAST TOWARD THE STATE LATER TONIGHT. UPPER LEVEL DYNAMICS
AND COOLING ALOFT MAY SUPPORT ANOTHER AREA OF RAIN LATER TONIGHT
ESPECIALLY IN NORTHERN AND WESTERN AREAS.

CLOUDS MONDAY NIGHT AND PARTLY/MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES TUESDAY.
UNCERTAINTY THEN DEVELOPS TUESDAY NIGHT REGARDING HOW QUICKLY

AN AREA OF SHOWERS AND RAIN WILL CROSS THE REGION WITH THE LOW
THOUGH PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS ALSO REMAIN UNCERTAIN. THE SYSTEM
SHOULD MOVE EAST OF THE REGION THURSDAY NIGHT...THOUGH SHOWERS
COULD LINGER. UNCERTAINTY THEN EXISTS REGARDING THE TIMING OF A
COLD/OCCLUDED FRONT MOVING TOWARD THE REGION FROM THE GREAT LAKES
FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY. SHOWERS WILL CROSS THE REGION IN ADVANCE
OF THE FRONT KEEPING UNSETTLED CONDITIONS ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA
FRIDAY/SATURDAY. TEMPERATURES SHOULD BE AT SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL
