AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CARIBOU ME
1218 AM EST TUE DEC 4 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD ACROSS THE REGION OVERNIGHT THEN MOVE EAST
TUESDAY. A COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH TUESDAY NIGHT AND CROSS THE
REGION WEDNESDAY. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD ACROSS THE AREA
THURSDAY.
&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TODAY/...
12AM UPDATE...
LITTLE CHANGE AT THIS POINT. PERSISTENT STRATOCU SEEMS LIKE A GOOD
BET THROUGH TONIGHT AND TOMORROW WITH THE GROWING SUBSIDENCE
INVERSION. GUIDANCE IS HAVING A HARD TIME WITH LOCATION OF THE
H925 MOISTURE FIELDS. THE STRATOCU IS EXPECTED TO MITIGATE THE
RISK OF FREEZING FOG IN MANY LOCATIONS.

UPDATE...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD ACROSS THE REGION OVERNIGHT. THE CLOUD
DECK ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA WILL DECREASE OVERNIGHT WITH
GENERALLY PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA. PATCHY
FREEZING FOG COULD ALSO DEVELOP OVERNIGHT. OVERNIGHT LOW
TEMPERATURES WILL BE DEPENDENT ON THE EXTENT OF CLOUD COVER.
GENERALLY EXPECT LOW TEMPERATURES TO RANGE FROM THE MID 20S
NORTH...TO THE MID TO UPPER 20S DOWNEAST. HAVE UPDATED THE
FORECAST TO ADJUST FOR CURRENT CONDITIONS ALONG WITH EXPECTED
OVERNIGHT CLOUD COVER AND TEMPERATURES.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
THE HIGH WILL MOVE EAST ON TUESDAY. CLOUDS WILL BEGIN TO INCREASE
DURING THE DAY IN ADVANCE OF THE NEXT COLD FRONT APPROACHING FROM
THE WEST. EXPECT THE CHANCE FOR SHOWERS LATER TUESDAY AFTERNOON
ACROSS WESTERN SECTIONS BUT MOST OF THE AREA SHOULD REMAIN RAIN
FREE DURING THE DAYLIGHT HOURS. HIGH TEMPERATURES ON TUESDAY WILL
RANGE FROM THE LOWER 40S ACROSS NORTHERN AND CENTRAL AREAS AND LOW
TO MID 40S ACROSS DOWNEAST.
&&

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
A STRONG COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO MOVE ACROSS THE STATE LATE
NIGHT TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING THEN MOVE OFF THE COAST
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. HIGH PRESSURE WILL THEN BUILD IN FROM THE
WEST THURSDAY. A STRONG UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL MOVE ACROSS THE
STATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT. HAVE BLENDED THE NAM12...GFS40...SREF AND
ECMWF FOR POP GRIDS AND QPF EXCEPT WILL USE REPLACE NAM12 WITH
NAM80 FOR QPF. FOR WINDS EXPECT STRONG GRADIENT BETWEEN LOW OVER
THE MARITIMES AND APPROACHING HIGH. WILL USE A BLEND OF THE NAM12
AND GMOS FOR WINDS AND USE 150 PERCENT OF SUSTAINED WIND FOR
GUSTS. FOR TEMPERATURE HAVE USED THE GMOS TO INITIALIZE THE GIRDS.
WILL LOWER MINIMUM/MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO
THURSDAY SEVERAL DEGREES BELOW GMOS WITH VERY COLD AIR MASS MOVING
IN.
&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL CREST OVER THE REGION THURSDAY NIGHT BEFORE
SLIDING OFF TO THE EAST FRIDAY. A RETURN FLOW WILL SET UP ALLOWING
HIGHS FRIDAY TO MODERATE INTO THE MID 30S NORTH TO THE LOW TO MID
40S SOUTH. AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT WILL BRING SOME INCREASING CLOUDS
WITH A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS BY LATE DAY OVER NORTHERN AND
WESTERN PARTS OF THE CWA. HEADING INTO SATURDAY AN AREA OF LOW
PRESSURE LOOKS TO DEVELOP ALONG THE FRONT AND MOVE NORTH AND EAST.
IT IS A BIT EARLY TO DETERMINE EXACTLY WHERE THE FRONT WILL SET UP
AND THE LOW WILL TRACK WITH THE ECMWF FAVORING A PLACEMENT A
LITTLE FARTHER SOUTH THAN THE GFS. IN ANY EVENT THIS DOES NOT LOOK
TO BE A MAJOR SYSTEM AND WILL LIKELY BRING SOME SNOW TO THE CROWN
OF MAINE WITH A MIX OF RAIN/SNOW OVER THE SOUTH. THE TRACK WILL
DETERMINE EXACTLY WHERE THE RAIN/SNOW LINE SETS UP.

THE LOW WILL DEPART BY LATER SUNDAY WITH HIGH PRESSURE BRIEFLY
TAKING HOLD BEFORE THE NEXT SYSTEM APPROACHES BY LATER MONDAY
BRINGING A CHANCE FOR MORE RAIN/SNOW.
&&

.AVIATION /05Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
NEAR TERM: OCCASIONAL MVFR CEILINGS ARE POSSIBLE ACROSS NORTHERN
AREAS OVERNIGHT. ACROSS DOWNEAST AREAS...OCCASIONAL MVFR CEILINGS ARE
POSSIBLE INTO THE EARLY MORNING HOURS WITH VFR CONDITIONS LATE.
PATCHY FREEZING FOG COULD PRODUCE MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS IN SPOTS
OVERNIGHT. OCCASIONAL MVFR CEILINGS COULD PERSIST ACROSS NORTHERN
AREAS TUESDAY. GENERALLY VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED DOWNEAST
THROUGH MUCH OF TUESDAY...WITH MVFR CEILINGS POSSIBLY STARTING TO
DEVELOP LATER IN THE AFTERNOON.

SHORT TERM: EXPECT IFR/MVFR CONDITIONS TUESDAY NIGHT AND
WEDNESDAY MORNING THEN VFR CONDITIONS WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH
THURSDAY. EXPECT VFR CONDITIONS FOR THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY.
THE NEXT SYSTEM WILL BRING THE POTENTIAL FOR MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS
SATURDAY.
&&

.MARINE...
NEAR TERM: WINDS/SEAS ARE EXPECTED TO BE BELOW SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY
LEVELS OVERNIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY.

SHORT TERM: FOR WIND HAVE USED A BLEND OF THE NAM12 AND GFS40.
FOR WAVES: SOUTHERLY FETCH BEGINS TO DEVELOP FROM GULF OF MAINE
SOUTHWARD AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS PERIOD AND CONTINUES UNTIL
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON WHEN IT IS BROKEN UP BY WIND SHIFT BEHIND THE
COLD FRONT. PRIMARY WAVE SYSTEM IS SOUTHERLY WITH PERIOD
INCREASING TO 8 SECONDS WITH SECONDARY WAVE GROUP FROM SOUTHEAST
AROUND 1 FOOT/12 SECONDS. WILL HOLD OFF ISSUING SCA FOR THIS
PERIOD SO MID-SHIFT CAN ADJUST TIMING. EXPECT GENERALLY FAIR
WEATHER FOR THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY BEFORE THE NEXT SYSTEM
APPROACHES BY LATE FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY BRING THE POTENTIAL FOR
MARGINAL SCA CONDITIONS.
