The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Gray, ME wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jul 17, 5:16 PM EDT, 1 hour 28 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jul 17, 5:16 PM EDT, 1 hour 28 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAY ME
516 PM EDT TUE JUL 17 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE REGION TONIGHT...BRINGING
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO THE AREA. ONCE THE SYSTEM CLEARS THE
COAST ON WEDNESDAY HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD OVER NORTHERN NEW
ENGLAND FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK. HIGH PRESSURE WILL SLIDE
EAST OVER THE WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /TONIGHT/...
5PM UPDATE...
HAVE MADE UPDATES TO THE MAJOR FORECAST ELEMENTS INCLUDING
POPS AND TEMPERATURES AND SKY COVER. STRONG CAP AT 850MB IS
PREVENTING THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT OVER MUCH OF MAINE AS SEEN BY
19Z GYX SOUNDING. IN FACT... MUCH OF THE SOUTHERN HALF OF NEW
HAMPSHIRE HAS SEEN GOOD MIXING BELOW THIS CAPPING LAYER OF WARM
AIR ALOFT. THIS IS SEEN BY INCREASING SOUTHWEST WINDS AND
TEMPERATURES WARMING QUICKLY INTO THE MID 90S... WITH A
CORRESPONDING FALL OF DEW POINTS INTO THE MID 60S. STILL PLENTY OF
INSTABILITY AVAILABLE FOR THUNDERSTORMS... AND WIND SHEAR
CONTINUES TO BE IMPRESSIVE. 19Z GYX SOUNDING SHOWED A CLASSIC
TURNING WITH HEIGHT IN THE WIND FIELD AND A 40+ KT JET AT AROUND
750 MB. THE BEST LOW LEVEL DIRECTIONAL SHEER AND IMPRESSIVE
HODOGRAPH STRUCTURE WILL CONTINUE TO BE IN MAINE... AND AREAS
WHICH ARE ABLE TO KEEP THE SOUTH OR SOUTHEAST SURFACE WINDS. AS
THUNDERSTORMS PROGRESS EASTWARD INTO NEW HAMPSHIRE AND MAINE...
THEY WILL BE MOVING INTO THIS ENVIRONMENT WHICH WILL BE FAVORABLE
FOR SUPERCELLS AND TORNADOES. HOWEVER... MOST CONVECTION HAS BEEN
LAGGING BEHIND THE TROUGH AXIS WHICH HAS SHIFTED WINDS TO THE
SOUTHWEST AT THE SURFACE. WIND SHEAR WILL CONTINUE TO BE
SUFFICIENT FOR SUPER CELLS EVEN IF LOW LEVEL DIRECTIONAL SHEAR
DECREASES BEHIND THE TROUGH AXIS. SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH
CONTINUES UNTIL 9PM TO HIGHLIGHT THE THREAT FOR DAMAGING WINDS AND
HAIL... WITH ISOLATED TORNADOES AS WELL. ALSO WORTH NOTING ON THE
19Z GYX SOUNDING IS PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES REACHING 1.86
INCHES. THIS IS VERY HIGH FOR THIS AREA AND INDICATES THE THREAT
FOR VERY HEAVY RAINFALL AND FLASH FLOODING FROM STORMS. COMBINE
THIS WITH THE TRAINING NATURE OF STORMS AND FLASH FLOODING WILL BE
A BIG CONCERN WITH THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH THE EVENING.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
FRONTAL BOUNDARY SAGGING SOUTH OUT OF CANADA WILL PROVIDE THE
FOCUS FOR ORGANIZED CONVECTION THROUGH THIS EVENING. AS UPPER
LEVEL DYNAMICS APPROACH THE AREA WE WILL START TO SEE A MUCH
BETTER SHEAR ENVIRONMENT. WITH CAPE VALUES APPROACHING 3000J/KG
AND DECENT HELICITY...THERE COULD BE SOME ISOLATED TORNADOES. THE
BEST SHEAR ENVIRONMENT WILL BE NEAR THE INTERNATIONAL BORDER THIS
AFTERNOON...AND THEN SLIDE SOUTH OVER THE NEW HAMPSHIRE AND
WESTERN MAINE MOUNTAINS. WITH THE FREEZING LEVEL OVER 15K FEET AND
A WET BULB ZERO HEIGHT OF 13.5K FEET...LARGE HAIL SHOULD NOT BE A
MAJOR THREAT. EXPECT BOWING LINE SEGMENTS AND DAMAGING WINDS TO BE
THE PRIMARY THREAT. PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES ARE UP AROUND 1.8
INCHES...SO VERY HEAVY RAIN WILL ALSO BE A PLAYER. BECAUSE OF THE
WEST TO EAST ORIENTATION OF THE BOUNDARY...WE COULD SEE SOME
TRAINING STORMS THAT DUMP A LARGE AMOUNT OF WATER IN A SHORT
AMOUNT OF TIME. FLASH FLOODING AS WELL AS URBAN AND SMALL STREAM
FLOODING WILL ALSO BE A THREAT.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
THE BOUNDARY SEEMS TO STALL OVER SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND TOMORROW.
NEW MODEL GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO MOVE IT SOUTH AWAY FROM NORTHERN
NEW ENGLAND THOUGH...SO THE CHANCE FOR PRECIPITATION TOMORROW
SHOULD BE MINIMAL.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL SETTLE OVER NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND LATE IN THE
WEEK AND THRU MOST OF THE WEEKEND WITH PLEASANT TEMPS AND A
DRIER CANADIAN AIR MASS. AN UPPER TROF WILL APPROACH THE REGION
SUNDAY AFTERNOON POSSIBLY PRODUCING SOME SCATTERED SHOWERS. THE
TROF QUICKLY EXITS BY MONDAY FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER CANADIAN RIDGE
OF HIGH PRESSURE AND FAIR WEATHER. USED MAV TEMPS FOR DAY3 AND
THEN STAYED CLOSE TO GMOS FOR THE LATTER PERIODS.

&&

.AVIATION /21Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
SHORT TERM...VFR CONDITIONS THIS EVENING WITH INTERMITTENT MVFR/IFR
CONDITIONS IN THUNDERSTORMS. EXPECT FOG TO DEVELOP TONIGHT WITH
IFR/LIFR CONDITIONS...ESPECIALLY ALONG COASTAL AREAS. VFR
CONDITIONS RETURN FOR WEDNESDAY.

LONG TERM...VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED AS HIGH PRESSURE REMAINS IN
CONTROL OF THE WEATHER.

&&

.MARINE...
SHORT TERM...SOUTHWEST WINDS SHOULD GUST ENOUGH TONIGHT TO
WARRANT A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY. HAVE ISSUED ONE UNTIL 6AM TOMORROW.

LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
