What forecasters said that day

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 Jun 2, 2:57 PM EDT, 1 hour 23 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 2, 2:57 PM EDT, 1 hour 23 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAY ME
257 PM EDT SUN JUN 2 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH FROM THE WEST THIS EVENING. EXPECT
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO CONTINUE THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING AHEAD OF THE FRONT. THE THUNDERSTORMS HAVE THE POTENTIAL
TO PRODUCE SEVERE WINDS...LARGE HAIL AND HEAVY RAIN. THE FRONT IS
SLOW TO PUSH THROUGH THE AREA AND THERE WILL BE A THREAT FOR MORE
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS NEAR THE COAST ON MONDAY. HIGH PRESSURE
WILL BUILD SOUTHEAST OUT OF CANADA THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE
WEEK...BRINGING COOLER WEATHER BACK INTO THE AREA. LOW PRESSURE
MOVING EAST FROM THE MIDWEST WILL APPROACH THE AREA THURSDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /TONIGHT/...
A FEW ROUNDS OF THUNDERSTORMS ARE MOVING THROUGH THE AREA THIS
AFTERNOON AND EXPECT A LINE OF STORMS TO CROSS INTO NEW HAMPSHIRE
AND MOVE ACROSS MAINE OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS. AFTER THIS DOES
SO... THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT WILL LIKELY BE OVER. DAMAGING
WINDS WILL BE THE PRIMARY THREAT... AS WELL AS SOME AREAS OF LARGE
HAIL. IT IS UNCLEAR HOW FAR EAST THE STORMS WILL BE ABLE TO
TRAVEL. MOST MODELS INDICATE CONVECTION FALLING APART AS IT
REACHES MAINE. HOWEVER... 16Z SOUNDING INDICATES PLENTY OF
INSTABILITY SO IF STORMS CAN TRACK TOWARD THE COAST OF NEW
HAMPSHIRE AND MAINE THEY MAY MAINTAIN THEMSELVES.

AFTER THE STORMS END... SHOULD SEE A BREAK IN THE PRECIPITATION
FOR A WHILE AND THE COLD FRONT WILL SLOWLY PUSH INTO THE REGION.
TEMPERATURES OVERNIGHT WILL FALL INTO THE 60S. HAVE RAISED MINIMUM
TEMPERATURES ABOVE GUIDANCE VALUES AS HUMIDITY LEVELS REMAIN HIGH
AND TRENDS FROM LAST NIGHT INDICATE GUIDANCE HAS BEEN RUNNING
SEVERAL DEGREES TOO COLD. COULD SEE FOG FORM TONIGHT BUT THINK THE
MOST LIKELY AREAS FOR THIS TO OCCUR WILL BE IN AREAS THAT SEE RAIN
THIS AFTERNOON... ESPECIALLY LATER IN THE AFTERNOON.

&&

.SHORT TERM /MONDAY/...
COLD FRONT STILL LINGERS JUST INLAND OF THE COAST ON MONDAY.
EXPECT GOOD WARMING AHEAD OF THE FRONT... AND INSTABILITY
INCREASING AGAIN. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD FORM BY MIDDAY
POSSIBLY AS A RESULT OF THE SEA BREEZE BOUNDARY COLLIDING WITH THE
SLOWLY ADVANCING COLD FRONT. DO NOT EXPECT SEVERE WEATHER... BUT
DO EXPECT ONE MORE ROUND OF THUNDERSTORMS BEFORE THE FRONT MOVES
OFF THE COAST MONDAY NIGHT. HIGH TEMPERATURES GENERALLY IN THE 70S.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
SKIES WILL CLEAR ACROSS THE REGION MONDAY NIGHT WITH MOSTLY SUNNY
SKIES ACROSS THE REGION TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY. LOW PRESSURE MOVING
EAST FROM THE MIDWEST WILL BRING THE THREAT OF SHOWERS FOR
THURSDAY. THE FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THE LOW WILL LINGER NEAR THE
AREA BRINGING A CONTINUED THREAT OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
SHORT TERM...BEST CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING WILL BE ACROSS MUCH OF NEW HAMPSHIRE AND INTERIOR MAINE.
FOG IS ALSO A POSSIBILITY TONIGHT ESPECIALLY IN AREAS THAT SEE
RAIN THIS AFTERNOON. COULD SEE ANOTHER ROUND OF THUNDERSTORMS ON
MONDAY ALONG THE COASTAL PLAIN.

LONG TERM...VFR CONDITIONS MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY.
POSSIBLE IFR CONDITIONS IN SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THURSDAY AND
FRIDAY.

&&

.MARINE...
SHORT TERM...WINDS HAVE BEEN SLOW TO COME UP... BUT STILL
EXPECTING GUSTS TO 25 KT POSSIBLE THROUGH THE EVENING AND WAVE
HEIGHTS INCREASING TO OVER 5 FEET. WAVES SHOULD SUBSIDE BY LATE
MONDAY MORNING.

LONG TERM...EXPECTING WINDS AND SEAS TO BE DIMINISHING MONDAY
NIGHT AND BE BELOW SCA CRITERIA TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
HIGH HUMIDITY CONTINUES TONIGHT AND MONDAY WITH A CHANCE OF
THUNDERSTORMS. A COLD FRONT WILL PUSH THROUGH THE AREA LATE
MONDAY. DRIER CONDITIONS WILL RETURN FOR TUESDAY THROUGH THE END
OF THE WEEK.

&&
