&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY/...
UPDATE...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL CROSS THE REGION OVERNIGHT WHILE LOW PRESSURE

ACROSS NORTHWESTERN AREAS. OVERNIGHT LOW TEMPERATURES WILL
GENERALLY RANGE FROM AROUND 5 BELOW TO 10 BELOW ZERO NORTH...TO
ZERO TO 5 BELOW INTERIOR DOWNEAST WITH ZERO TO 10 ABOVE ALONG THE
DOWNEAST COAST. HAVE UPDATED THE FORECAST TO ADJUST FOR CURRENT
CONDITIONS ALONG WITH EXPECTED OVERNIGHT CLOUD COVER...SNOW
CHANCES AND TEMPERATURES.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
A FAST MOVING CLIPPER SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO PRODUCE LIGHT
OVERRUNNING SNOW ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA ON FRIDAY. WITH WEAK
LIFT AHEAD OF THE UPPER TROUGH...AN INCH OR TWO OF SNOW IS
EXPECTED IN NORTHERN ZONES...BUT LITTLE OR NOTHING TOWARDS ORONO
AND BANGOR. HAVE UPGRADED POPS TO LIKELY TOWARDS THE CROWN OF
MAINE. THIS SYSTEM WILL HAVE VERY LITTLE MOISTURE AS IT ARRIVES
FROM QUEBEC AND IS NOT EXPECTED TO PULL IN ANY ATLANTIC MOISTURE.
HAVE LEANED TOWARDS SNOW RATIOS OF 20 TO 1. WARM ADVECTION WILL
ALLOW TEMPERATURES TO SLOWLY RISE TOWARDS THE UPPER TEENS NORTH

&&

.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
THE COLDEST AIR MASS ACROSS THE NORTHERN HEMISPHERE EAST OF THE
DATELINE NOW RESIDES ACROSS NORTHERN AND EASTERN CANADA. A FAST
MOVING JET ACROSS THE NORTHEAST U.S. WILL PUSH A SERIES OF WEAK
LOWS AND FRONTS ACROSS THE AREA. LOW PRESSURE PASSES NORTH OF THE
AREA FRIDAY EVENING AND OFF INTO THE CANADIAN MARITIMES SATURDAY.
THE COLD FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THE LOW WILL TAP SOME OF THE COLD
AIR ACROSS NORTHERN CANADA AND PUSH ANOTHER SHOT OF MODIFIED
ARCTIC AIR INTO THE AREA SATURDAY WITH A GUSTY NORTHWEST WIND.
THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME WIND CHILL CONCERNS SAT MORNING
ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE CWA. HIGH PRESSURE
BUILDS INTO THE AREA FROM THE WEST SAT NIGHT AND WITH DIMINISHING
WIND A GOOD CHANCE THAT IF THE SKY REMAINS CLEAR THAT TEMPS COULD
DROP INTO THE 5 TO 15 BELOW RANGE IN THE NORTH WITH A FEW OF THE
NORMALLY COLDER SPOTS IN THE NORTHERN AND WESTERN VALLEYS TO
APPROACH 20 BELOW. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT CLOUDS WILL BEGIN TO
INCREASE SOME AFTER MIDNIGHT AHEAD OF THE NEXT SYSTEM THAT MIGHT
PREVENT A TEMP FREE FALL. WILL LOWER TEMPS A BIT FOR SAT NIGHT BUT
WILL NOT GO QUITE AS COLD AS THEY COULD BE DUE TO THE POSSIBLE
INCREASE IN CLOUDS. ANOTHER WEAK LOW APPROACHES FROM THE WEST
SUNDAY WITH MORE CLOUDS AND A CHANCE OF A FEW SNOW SHOWERS.
&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE IN PLACE TO START THE PERIOD. A WEAK LOW
PRESSURE WILL THEN MOVE THROUGH THE AREA SUNDAY INTO EARLY MONDAY.
FOLLOWING THE WEAK LOW WILL BE A STRONG HIGH PRESSURE THAT WILL
MOVE IN FROM THE WEST AND DOMINATE THE WEATHER THROUGH WEDNESDAY.
THURSDAY EXPECT A LOW PRESSURE TO MOVE IN FROM THE WEST. THE
FORECAST WAS INITIALIZED USING GMOS AND ADJUSTED ACCORDINGLY.
&&

.AVIATION /06Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
NEAR TERM: GENERALLY VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED ACROSS THE REGION
OVERNIGHT...THOUGH MVFR CONDITIONS COULD BEGIN TO DEVELOP ACROSS
NORTHERN AREAS LATE. MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED ACROSS
NORTHERN AND CENTRAL AREAS FRIDAY. OCCASIONAL MVFR CONDITIONS ARE
POSSIBLE DOWNEAST FRIDAY.

SHORT TERM: MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS POSSIBLE FRI EVENING AT THE

ADVISORY LEVELS OVERNIGHT INTO EARLY FRIDAY. WINDS AND SEAS ARE
THEN EXPECTED TO INCREASE FRIDAY AFTERNOON...POSSIBLY APPROACHING
GALE LEVELS TOWARD EVENING.

SHORT TERM: A GALE WATCH WAS ISSUED FOR FRI NIGHT INTO SAT PM AS
GUSTS TO 40 KT ARE POSSIBLE IN STRONG COLD AIR ADVECTION BEHIND A
COLD FRONT. THE WIND WILL THEN BECOME LIGHT SAT NIGHT AS HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDS ACROSS THE WATERS. A PERIOD OF SCA LEVEL WIND
