AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CARIBOU ME
1259 AM EST FRI JAN 24 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN FROM THE LATE TONIGHT AND THEN CREST
OVER THE AREA LATE FRIDAY AND MOVE EAST FRIDAY NIGHT. LOW PRESSURE
WILL APPROACH FRIDAY NIGHT AND TRACK WEST OF THE REGION ON
SATURDAY. AN ARCTIC COLD FRONT FOLLOWING THE LOW WILL CROSS THE
REGION SATURDAY NIGHT.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TODAY/...
1230 AM UPDATE: THE MOST SIG CHG THIS UPDATE WAS RAISING LOWS OVR
NE AROOSTOOK COUNTY ALG U.S RTE 1 BY ABOUT 5 DEG F DUE TO A
PERSISTENT...RELATIVELY NARROW BAND OF LOW SC CLDNSS FROM THE ST
LAWRENCE SEAWAY. IT'S DIFFICULT TO TELL HOW LONG THIS BAND WILL
REMAIN IN PLACE...BUT LATEST SAT IMAGERY DOES SHOW IT HOLDING IN
PLACE...SO EVEN IF BEGINS BREAKING UP SHORTLY BEFORE DAYBREAK...
IT WILL NOT ALLOW MUCH TM FOR TEMPS TO FALL TO PREV FCST LOWS...
AND THATS IF SFC WINDS DECOUPLE MORE THAN CURRENT 5 TO 10 MPH
SPEEDS WE CURRENTLY HAVE.

OTHER CHGS INCLUDE MINOR ADJUSTMENTS TO FCST HRLY CLD CVR AND
WINDS INTO FRI MORN. LASTLY...FCST HRLY TEMPS WERE RE-DONE BETWEEN
MDNGT OBSVD TEMPS AND THE MODIFIED FCST LOWS AT 7 AM.

942 PM UPDATE: AN AREA OF STRATUS MOVING OFF THE ST LAWRENCE HAS
MOVED INTO MUCH OF THE ST JOHN VALLEY AND AS FAR SOUTH AS PRESQUE
ISLE PER THE LATEST OBSERVATIONS AND SATELLITE PICTURES. THE
STRATUS IS NOT NEARLY AS EXTENSIVE AS IT WAS THIS TIME LAST NIGHT
WHEN IT COVERED MUCH OF NORTHERN MAINE. THERE ARE ALSO SOME
PATCHES OF HIGHER CLOUDS ACROSS PARTS OF CENTRAL AND DOWNEAST
MAINE. THE COLDEST TEMPS ARE CURRENTLY ACROSS THE NORTHWEST
VALLEYS OF THE CWA WITH BIG BLACK THE COLD SPOT AT 18 BELOW AS OF
9 PM. A FEW OF THE NORMAL COLD SPOTS ACROSS NW MAINE WILL LIKELY
BOTTOM OUT AROUND 30 BELOW. MADE ONLY SOME MINOR ADJUSTMENTS TO
THE SKY GRIDS AND TEMPS BASED ON THE LATEST CONDITIONS AND
EXPECTATIONS FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE NIGHT.

ORGNL DISC: HIGH PRESSURE BEGINS TO BUILD INTO THE AREA FOR
TONIGHT WITH SKIES CONTINUING TO STAY MAINLY CLEAR TO AT TIMES
PARTLY CLOUDY. WINDS WILL ALSO DIMINISH ALLOWING TEMPERATURES TO
BOTTOM OUT IN THE MINUS TEENS AND MINUS 20S ACROSS THE NORTH WITH
THE COLDEST READINGS OCCURRING IN THE SHELTERED VALLEY LOCATIONS.
EXPECT MINUS SINGLE DIGITS FOR LOWS DOWNEAST. SINCE WINDS WILL BE
DIMINISHING OPTED NOT TO GO WITH ANY WIND CHILL HEADLINES FOR
TONIGHT.

HIGH PRESSURE CRESTS OVER THE AREA FRIDAY WITH MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES
AND LIGHTER WINDS COMPARED TO TODAY. TEMPERATURES HOWEVER WILL BE
AS COLD IF NOT A FEW DEGREES COLDER WITH HIGHS ONLY AROUND ZERO IN
THE NORTH AND IN THE SINGLE DIGITS SOUTH.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH 6 PM SATURDAY/...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE CRESTING OVER THE AREA LATE FRIDAY. THIS
WILL BRING A MOSTLY CLEAR AND COLD EVENING WITH LIGHT WINDS FRIDAY
EVENING. A FAST MOVING TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE AHEAD OF AN ARCTIC
COLD FRONT WILL THEN BRING INCREASING CLOUDS FRIDAY NIGHT. SOME
LIGHT SNOW MAY SPREAD INTO WESTERN AREAS TOWARD SATURDAY MORNING.
LOW PRESSURE LIFTING TO OUR WEST AND NORTH WILL THEN PRODUCE A
STRONG SOUTH WIND WITH SNOW ACROSS THE AREA SATURDAY. NORMALLY A
LOW TRACKING TO OUR NORTHWEST WOULD PULL WARM AIR IN AND TURN THE
SNOW TO RAIN. HOWEVER, ARCTIC AIR IS SO DEEP AND THE LOW MOVING SO
FAST THAT IT WILL ONLY BE ABLE TO TURN SNOW OVER TO RAIN ALONG THE
COAST. THE REST OF THE AREA WILL SEE SNOW WITH A COUPLE INCHES
LIKELY IN MOST AREAS. CURRENT GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO FAVOR MOST OF
THE SNOWFALL ALONG THE EASTERN EDGE OF OUR FORECAST AREA NEAR THE
NEW BRUNSWICK BORDER WHERE INTENSIFYING LIFT COULD BRING UP TO 3
TO 5 INCHES OF SNOW IN SOME AREAS. SOUNDINGS ARE PROGGED TO BE
STEEP AND SOME ENHANCEMENT DUE TO INSTABILITY IS POSSIBLE,
ESPECIALLY AS THE FRONT REACHES EASTERN SPOTS WHERE RELATIVELY
WARMER AIR FLOWING IN OFF THE WATER WILL ENHANCE INSTABILITY A
BIT. SNOW WILL PUSH EAST SATURDAY EVENING AS LOW PRESSURE LIFTING
INTO QUEBEC PULLS A STRONG ARCTIC COLD FRONT ACROSS THE AREA.
FOLLOWING THE FRONT, TEMPERATURES MAY FALL BELOW ZERO ACROSS THE
NORTH DURING THE DAY SUNDAY WITH BITTER COLD WIND CHILLS POSSIBLY
REQUIRING WIND CHILL WARNINGS. TEMPS DOWNEAST WILL DROP THROUGH
THE SINGLE DIGITS.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
OUR FOCUS EARLY NEXT WEEK WILL BE ON A SMALL CLIPPER LOW RAPIDLY
TRACKING TOWARD OUR AREA SUNDAY NIGHT. THE LOW WILL BRING INCREASING
CLOUDS SUNDAY NIGHT WITH LIGHT SNOW OVERSPREADING THE AREA AFTER
MIDNIGHT. THE LOW WILL BE MOVING TOO QUICKLY TO PULL MUCH MOISTURE
IN OFF THE OCEAN. SOME LIGHT SNOW IS LIKELY LATE SUNDAY NIGHT INTO
EARLY MONDAY AS THE LOW CROSSES THE AREA. AT THIS TIME AMOUNTS LOOK
LIKE THEY WILL AVERAGE AN INCH OR TWO ACROSS THE NORTH WITH UP TO
THREE OR FOUR INCHES OVER PARTS OF THE INTERIOR DOWNEAST REGION. THE
LOW WILL QUICKLY MOVE AWAY INTO THE MARITIMES MONDAY WITH PARTIAL
CLEARING LATE IN THE DAY. COLD ARCTIC AIR WILL FOLLOW AS AN UPPER
LEVEL TROUGH MOVES THROUGH THE AREA BRINGING COLD AND DRY WEATHER
WHICH WILL LAST THROUGH THE MID WEEK PERIOD.

&&

.AVIATION /06Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
NEAR TERM: PATCHY STATUS AND MVFR CEILINGS WILL IMPACT KFVE SOUTH
TO KPQI AT TIMES TONIGHT...OTHERWISE EXPECT VFR CONDITIONS REGION
WIDE THROUGH FRIDAY.

SHORT TERM: VFR CONDITIONS FRIDAY NIGHT WILL LOWER TO IFR EARLY
SATURDAY MORNING. IFR CONDITIONS IN SNOW ARE EXPECTED SATURDAY
INTO SATURDAY EVENING. CONDITIONS WILL IMPROVE TO MVFR LATER
SATURDAY NIGHT. MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED SUNDAY.
