AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAY ME
105 AM EDT TUE MAY 29 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
A WARM FRONT WILL SLOWLY LIFT INTO SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND OVERNIGHT,
THEN STALL ACROSS THE REGION ON TUESDAY. A COLD FRONT WILL
APPROACH FROM THE WEST TUESDAY NIGHT AND WILL CROSS THE AREA ON
WEDNESDAY. A SECONDARY COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH FROM THE NORTHWEST
WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND WILL PUSH SOUTH OF THE REGION ON THURSDAY.
HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN FROM THE WEST THURSDAY NIGHT AND
FRIDAY. LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE EAST FROM THE GREAT LAKES FRIDAY
NIGHT AND SATURDAY AND WILL SLOWLY MOVE EAST THROUGH NORTHERN NEW
ENGLAND ON SUNDAY. LOW PRESSURE WILL DRIFT EAST OF THE REGION ON
MONDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM TUESDAY MORNING/...
1 AM UPDATE...NOCTURNAL MCS DEVELOPING OVER VT AND NH AS OF 05Z.
EXPECT ISOLATED LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL
HOURS...INCLUDING THE POTENTIAL FOR FLASH FLOODING IN AREAS OF
TRAINING CELLS.

935 PM...AS EXPECTED...CONVECTION CONTINUES TO GRADUALLY INCREASE IN
COVERAGE ACROSS THE REGION IN DEVELOPING OVERRUNNING PATTERN. I
RAISED POPS TO LIKELY FOR AREAS VICINITY OF THE KENNEBEC VALLEY NEXT
SEVERAL HOURS AND ADDED THUNDER AS WELL. 1ST PERIOD GRIDS WERE
ADJUSTED BASED ON RADAR TRENDS AS WELL AS MESONET.

640 PM...SHOWERS CONTINUE OVER
NORTHEAST MAINE IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE STALLED BACKDOOR FRONT.
THE SECOND BAROCLINIC ZONE WAS SITUATED JUST SOUTH AND WEST OF THE
FORECAST AREA WITH SCATTERED ECHOES OVER NORTHERN AND EASTERN
SECTIONS OF OUR AREA AT MOMENT. EXPECT CONVECTION TO INCREASE IN
COVERAGE OVERNIGHT AS MOISTURE AND WARM AIR ADVECTION INCREASES.
FOR THIS ESTF UPDATE...ONLY MINOR TWEAKS WERE REQUIRED TO 1ST
PERIOD GRIDS BASED PRIMARILY ON MESONET.

PREV DISC...
SPECIAL KALB SOUNDING IS HIGHLIGHTING CONVECTIVE INITIATION TROUBLE
FOR THIS AFTN AND EVE ACROSS THE SWRN CWA. DESPITE STEEPENING
LAPSE RATES ALOFT...BOUNDARY LYR MOISTURE IS NOT ABLE TO OVERCOME
WARM TEMPS ALOFT. AS LAPSE RATES CONTINUE TO IMPROVE INTO TNGT AND
MOISTURE CONTINUES TO RISE...CONDS WILL BECOME INCREASINGLY
FAVORABLE FOR CONVECTION ACROSS THE AREA.

THE OVERNIGHT FCST REMAINS SOMEWHAT UNCERTAIN REGARDING PLACEMENT
AND COVERAGE OF TSTMS. INITIALLY THERE IS A SMALL CHC FOR SFC BASED
TSTMS TO DEVELOP INVOF SWRN NH...BUT THAT WINDOW WILL CLOSE
QUICKLY WITH LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING. MORE LIKELY SCENARIO IS WITH
MID LVL FNT TNGT. IN RESPONSE TO INCREASING HGT FALLS...MID LVL
WARM FNT WILL BEGIN TO MOVE NWD...TO A POSITION ROUGHLY BISECTING
THE CWA. ALONG THIS FNT...SLOPED ASCENT SHOULD INITIATE ELEVATED
CONVECTION. MUCAPE VALUES REMAIN HIGH THRU THE NIGHT...WITH LAPSE
RATES FAVORING HAIL PRODUCTION WELL INTO THE SFC MARINE LYR. HAVE
ADDED SMALL HAIL AND HEAVY RAFL TO THE FCST GRIDS...THOUGH WOULD
NOT BE SURPRISED TO SEE AT LEAST ISOLD SEVERE HAIL FROM ANY STORM
GIVEN THE FAVORABLE EFFECTIVE SHEAR VALUES. THERE CONTINUES TO BE
SUPPORT...MAINLY FROM THE 28/12Z NAM AND ECMWF...FOR THIS
CONVECTION WITH UPR LVL DIVERGENCE AND HIGH MID LVL RH VALUES
COLLOCATED OVER THE CNTRL CWA. THE 28/12Z GFS HAS A SIMILAR
EVOLUTION...THOUGH DISPLACED ABOUT 100 MILES SWD...HENCE SOME
REMAINING UNCERTAINTY.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
EARLY MORN CONVECTION SHOULD LIFT OUT OF THE CWA WITH TIME...AND
EXPECT CLEARING TO DEVELOP IN THE FAR S AND W AGAIN. THOUGH THE
HEART OF THE REMNANT ELEVATED MIXED LYR WILL BE DISPLACED E AND
MODERATING WITH TIME...FAVORABLE LAPSE RATES LINGER OVER THE CWA
THRU TUE EVE. INCREASING DEWPOINTS WILL YIELD MODERATE
INSTABILITY...ESPECIALLY FOR THE CT RIVER VALLEY AND ADJACENT
PARTS OF NH. IN ADDITION TO HAIL...STEEP LLVL LAPSE RATES WILL
SUPPORT A DMGG WIND THREAT. PWAT VALUES INCREASING TO NEAR 1.50
INCHES WILL POOL AHEAD OF THE APPROACHING COLD FNT...MEANING HEAVY
RAFL WILL ALSO BE PSBL WITH ANY TSTM. SELY LLVL FLOW VEERING TO
NWLY ALOFT WILL ALSO SUPPORT SUPERCELLULAR CHARACTERISTICS...WITH
AT LEAST AN ISOLD TORNADO THREAT...AGAIN ESPECIALLY FOR FAR
WRN/SWRN NH. THIS WILL BE MOSTLY TIED TO THE SFC WARM FNT...IF IT
CAN MAKE THE ADVANCE THIS FAR N. EXPECT THAT PRESSURE FALLS
INCREASING IN SRN CANADA WILL PREVENT THE BOUNDARY FROM PULLING A
BACKDOOR COLD FNT ROUTINE LIKE TODAY. SEVERE TSTM WORDING HAS BEEN
INCLUDED FOR NEARLY ALL OF NH AND IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT
ME...COINCIDING WITH SPC SWODY2. FARTHER NE...LOW
CLOUDS...FOG...AND COOL TEMPS WILL REMAIN IN NELY ONSHORE FLOW N
OF WARM FNT.

COLD FNT WILL BE APPROACHING THE CWA TUE NGT...BUT WILL NOT CLEAR
THE AREA UNTIL WED. THIS MEANS SHRA/TSRA WILL CONTINUE THRU WED
NGT...THOUGH THE SEVERE THREAT WILL EVENTUALLY BE MITIGATED
OVERNIGHT BY LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
A COLD FRONT WILL BE CROSSING THE REGION EARLY WED...WITH THE
GREATEST THREAT FOR A SHOWER EXPECTED DURING THE EARLY MORNING
HOURS. A SECOND FRONT WILL BRING A CHC FOR A SHOWER OVER NRN AREAS
ON THU...FOLLOWED BY SFC HIGH PRES FROM THE GTLKS THU NGT AND FRI.
THIS WILL BRING A SHORT REPRIEVE FM THE WET CONDS AND THE BRIEF
SHOT OF DRY WX TO NEW ENG.

A RELATIVELY STG LOW PRES SYS FOR THIS TIME OF THE YEAR MOVES
TOWARDS THE GTLKS ON SAT. AHEAD OF THIS SYSTEM...GUSTY SOUTHERLY
WINDS WILL BE DEVELOPING. AREAS OF RA WILL CROSS THE REGION IN
BANDS PROPAGATING FROM WEST TO EAST SAT NGT. THIS WILL NEED TO BE
MONITORED AS SOME OF THIS RAIN MAY BE PARTICULARLY HEAVY AS MOISTR
WILL BE TAPPED FROM THE MID ATLC REGION. THEREAFTER...THE UPPER
LVL LOW PRES SYS WILL SLOWLY CROSS THE REGION THROUGH
MON...BRINGING SLGTLY DRIER AIR TO THE REGION...HOWEVER A BRIEF
PASSING SHOWER OR TWO CANNOT BE RULED OUT.

VERY HIGH ASTRONOMICAL TIDES WILL NEED TO BE MONITORED OVER THE
WEEKEND AND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK AS WELL.

&&

.AVIATION /02Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
SHORT TERM...VFR CONDS EXPECTED THRU THE LATE EVE. ONSHORE FLOW
WILL FOSTER DEVELOPMENT OF LOW CLOUDS AND FOG NEAR THE
COAST...WITH IFR OR LOWER CONDS PSBL. TSMTS DEVELOPING OVERNIGHT
WILL ALSO FEATURE HEAVY RAFL AND SMALL HAIL...WITH SCT IFR CONDS
PSBL. MORE TSTMS WILL DEVELOP TUE AFTN...WITH LARGE HAIL...DMGG
WINDS...AND HEAVY RAFL PSBL ACROSS NH. EXPECT SCT IFR CONDS WITH
THESE...OTHERWISE LOW CLOUDS AND FOG SHOULD IMPROVE TO MARGINAL
MVFR IN THE AFTN.

LONG TERM...CIGS/VSBYS IMPROVING TO VFR ON WED AND CONTG THU AND
FRI. CONDS DETERIORATING TO IFR AND PSBLY LIFR LATER SATURDAY INTO
EARLY SUNDAY...FOLLOWED BY SOME IMPROVEMENT.

&&

.MARINE...
SHORT TERM...WINDS AND SEAS EXPECTED TO REMAIN BLO SCA THRESHOLDS.
DEVELOPING LOW CLOUDS...FOG...AND TSTMS WILL MAKE FOR POOR BOATING
CONDS THRU WED HOWEVER.

LONG TERM...WINDS AND SEAS GENERALLY BLO SCA CRITERIA.
HOWEVER...GUSTY WINDS AND BUILDING SEAS AREA EXPECTED NEXT WEEKEND.
