AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CARIBOU ME
1230 PM EST TUE JAN 7 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE WILL REMAIN OVER EASTERN CANADA THROUGH MID WEEK AS
COLD HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS ONTO THE EAST COAST. HIGH PRESSURE WILL
REMAIN OVER THE AREA THURSDAY THEN MOVE EAST INTO THE ATLANTIC ON
FRIDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
UPDATE...DECIDED TO GO W/A WIND ADVISORY FOR ENTIRE CWA AS GUSTS
HITTING 40+ MPH IN SOME LOCATIONS. BGR(BANGOR) HAD A GUST TO 48
MPH THE LAST HR. WINDS SHOULD SETTLE DOWN AFTER SUNSET LATER THIS
AFTERNOON. BUFKIT AND LAPS SOUNDINGS SHOWED GUST POTENTIAL HITTING
CLOSE TO 50 MPH IN SOME OF THE HIGHER TERRAIN SUCH AS FRENCHVILLE
AND PORTAGE. DECIDED TO THROW THE COAST IN ON THE ADVISORY AS CAA
AND WNW WINDS WILL HIT SOME OF THE HIGHER TERRAIN OUT OVER THE
OUTER ISLANDS.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
THERE IS ENOUGH CYCLONIC FLOW AND MOISTURE TO PRODUCE ISOLATED TO
SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS ACROSS THE WESTERN MOUNTAINS AND CROWN OF
MAINE. STRONG COLD AIR ADVECTION WILL MEAN THAT TEMPERATURES ARE
NOT GOING ANYWHERE TODAY. THE TEMP AT 8 AM IS LIKELY TO BE VERY
CLOSE TO THE 3 PM TEMP IN MOST AREAS. THERE WILL BE A HEALTHY
PRESSURE GRADIENT THROUGH TONIGHT BETWEEN A DEEP SURFACE LOW IN
NORTHERN CANADA AND A STRONG AND COLD HIGH BUILDING INTO THE
MIDDLE ATLANTIC COAST. THE MAIN CONCERN WILL BE FOR SOME LOW WIND
CHILLS...ESPECIALLY TONIGHT. THE WIND CHILLS WILL MOSTLY BE IN THE
10 TO 20 BELOW RANGE ACROSS NORTHERN MAINE TODAY SO IT WILL BE
BORDERLINE FOR AN ADVISORY. THE WIND CHILLS WILL DROP TO 20 TO 30
BELOW TONIGHT AND WILL ISSUE A WIND CHILL ADVISORY THAT WILL BEGIN
AT 5 PM THIS EVENING AND CONTINUE INTO WED MORNING.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
A LARGE AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE BUILDING ONTO THE EAST COAST
ON WEDNESDAY AS A DEEP TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE REMAINS OVER EASTERN
CANADA. THIS WILL KEEP OUR AREA BREEZY, COOL AND GENERALLY DRY. A
BIT OF MOISTURE ROUNDING THE BOTTOM OF THE EASTERN CANADIAN TROUGH
WILL BRING PARTIAL CLOUDINESS TO CENTRAL AND NORTHERN AREAS
WEDNESDAY WITH DOWNEAST REMAINING MOSTLY SUNNY. THURSDAY WILL THEN
BE MOSTLY SUNNY AS THE HIGH BUILDS ONTO THE EAST COAST. HIGHS
WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY WILL RANGE FROM NEAR 10 ACROSS THE NORTH TO
AROUND 20 DOWNEAST.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
LOOKING AHEAD TO THE LATE WEEK PERIOD AND THE WEEKEND, IT LOOKS LIKE
WE'LL HAVE A BREAK FROM THE EXTREME COLD AS A MORE ZONAL FLOW ACROSS
THE NATION ALLOWS MILDER AIR TO WORK INTO THE NORTHEAST. DRY WEATHER
WILL CONTINUE FRIDAY AS THE LARGE AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE SLOWLY MOVES
OFF THE EAST COAST. A RETURN FLOW OF MILDER AIR BEHIND THE HIGH WILL
COMBINE WITH A TROUGH APPROACHING FROM THE WEST TO INCREASE MOISTURE
OVER THE AREA SATURDAY. THIS WILL BRING CLOUDS FOLLOWED BY A CHANCE
OF RAIN SHOWERS SATURDAY NIGHT. RAIN MAY BEGIN AS SOME SNOW OR
SLEET, ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE NORTH. THE TROUGH WILL MOVE EAST ON
SUNDAY GIVING WAY TO A PARTLY SUNNY AND RELATIVELY MILD DAY WITH
HIGHS ABOVE FREEZING IN ALL BUT NORTHERN AREAS. ANOTHER TROUGH OF
LOW PRESSURE MAY APPROACH LATE SUNDAY NIGHT WITH ANOTHER CHANCE FOR
SOME RAIN.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
NEAR TERM: MAINLY MVFR AT THE NORTHERN TERMINALS TODAY INTO
TONIGHT WITH CEILINGS FROM 2-3 KT FT AGL AT TIMES ALONG WITH ISO
-SHSN. VFR AT KBHB AND KBGR THROUGH TONIGHT.

SHORT TERM: GENERALLY VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED WEDNESDAY
THROUGH FRIDAY WITH HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING ONTO THE EAST COAST.
CONDITIONS WILL LIKELY LOWER TO IFR IN LOW CLOUDS SATURDAY INTO
SATURDAY NIGHT. VFR CONDITIONS SHOULD RETURN FOR SUNDAY.

&&

.MARINE...
NEAR TERM: A GALE WARNING WAS ISSUED FOR TODAY INTO WED MORNING.
COLD AIR MOVING OVER THE 43F WATER TEMPS COMBINED WITH A STRONG
PRESSURE GRADIENT AND STEEP LAPSE RATES WILL PROVIDE FOR GOOD MIXING
AND WIND GUSTS TO 40 KNOTS. AT LEAST LIGHT FREEZING SPRAY IS
LIKELY AND WAS ADDED TO THE GRIDS.

SHORT TERM: WINDS WILL SLOWLY DIMINISH WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON INTO
WEDNESDAY NIGHT. AN SCA MAY BE NEEDED THURSDAY. WINDS SHOULD THEN
BE LIGHT FRIDAY INTO EARLY SATURDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE MOVES OFF THE
COAST.
