BRINGING LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN INTO THE AREA TONIGHT. THE RAIN WILL
TAPER OFF ON THURSDAY FROM SOUTHWEST TO NORTHEAST TOMORROW. AN
UPPER LEVEL LOW AND SCATTERED SHOWERS LINGER OVER THE WEEKEND.

&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THURSDAY MORNING/...
10PM UPDATE: RADAR AND OBS CONTINUE TO INDICATE BANDS OF VERY HVY
RAINS WITH EMBDD TSTMS HAVE ENDED OVER NH BUT ARE NOW MOVING
THROUGH SW AND CNTRL ME. THE SECONDARY SFC LOW CENTERED JUST E OF
PSM ATTM CONTINUES DEEPENING AND MOVING ENEWD WITH A STRONG LOW
LEVEL WIND FLOW IN ADVANCE ENHANCING THE RAINFALL AMTS. 2-4 INCHES
OF RAINFALL HAS BEEN COMMON WITH THIS SYSTEM. WATER VAPOR IMAGERY
SHOWS THE DEEP NEG TILTED TROF LIFTING NEWD. WE WILL CONTINUE TO
FORECAST RAIN AND EMBDD TSTMS OVER SRN AND CENTRAL MAINE FOR THE
NEXT SEVERAL HOURS. AFTER MIDNIGHT THE BAND OF RAIN SHOULD EXIT
THE AREA ALLOWING SOME FOG TO DEVELOP.
PREV DISC:
WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS A NEGATIVELY TILTED TROUGH
CENTERED OVER THE GREAT LAKES REGION. THIS TROUGH IS DIGGING INTO
THE NORTHEAST WITH SHORT WAVE ENERGY LIFTING INTO NEW ENGLAND.
CLOUD TOPS CONTINUE TO COOL OVER NH AND MA WHERE THE BEST LIFT
CURRENTLY IS. ONLY A COUPLE LIGHTNING STRIKES HAVE BEEN NOTED
TODAY OVER NH AND MAINE SO FAR...BUT MORE CONVECTIVE ELEMENTS
SHOULD INTENSIFY AS BETTER DYNAMICS PIVOT INTO THE AREA. HAVE
INCLUDED ISOLATED THUNDER BETWEEN 21-03Z WITH HEAVY RAIN WORDING.
STILL EXPECTING 1-3" OVERALL AS THE WARM FRONTAL BOUNDARY
INTERACTS WITH THE LEFT EXIT REGION OF THE UPPER LEVEL JET. PWATS
ARE AROUND 1.5-2.00" AS MOISTURE CONTINUES TO BE DRAWN UP ALONG
THE BOUNDARY. THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH REMAINS AS IS AND LASTS
THROUGH MIDNIGHT. THIS EVENT WILL BEGIN TO WIND DOWN FROM SW TO NE
LATE TONIGHT AS AN OCCLUDED FRONT AND TRIPLE POINT PASS BY ALONG
THE COAST. OVERNIGHT TEMPERATURES WILL BE ON THE WARM SIDE TONIGHT
AFTER A COOL DAY WITH READINGS IN THE MID 50S TO LOWER 60S.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
RAIN WILL LINGER ON THROUGH EARLY TOMORROW AFTERNOON OVER CENTRAL
MAINE AS THE FORCING EXITS TO OUR NORTHEAST. WIDESPREAD FOG IS
LIKELY IN THE EARLY MORNING HOURS THANKS TO PLENTY OF LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE. SOME CLEARING SKIES BEHIND THE OCCLUSION WILL CONTRIBUTE
TO HIGHS ON THURSDAY RANGING FROM THE MID TO UPPER 60S TO MID 70S.
THE UPPER LOW REMAINS STALLED TO OUR NW OVER QUEBEC THROUGH
FRIDAY. AT THE SURFACE...WEAK HIGH PRESSURE BEGINS TO BUILD IN
FROM THE WEST DRAWING IN DRIER AIR. THIS WILL ALLOW SOME COOLER
AIR TO FILTER INTO THE MOUNTAINS WITH OVERNIGHT LOWS IN THE UPPER
40S ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS...AND MT WASHINGTON IN THE MID 30S.
&&
.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
VERY UNSETTLED PATTERN TO CONTINUE FOR MAINE AND NEW HAMPSHIRE.
BROAD SCALE UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL REMAIN IN PLACE OVER THE WEEKEND.
THIS WILL ALLOW FOR MAINLY DIURNALLY DRIVEN SCATTERED SHOWERS ON
SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. BY MONDAY...ALL MODELS WITHIN THE 12Z MODEL
SUITE CONTINUE TO SHOW A STRONG IMPULSE WITHIN THE UPPER LEVEL LOW
CROSSING THE REGION WITH ADDITIONAL SCATTERED SHOWERS AND POSSIBLY
A THUNDERSTORM.
BY TUESDAY...DRY CONDITIONS ARE LIKELY OVER THE REGION AS RIDGING
OCCURS FOR ONLY A 12 TO 18 HOUR PERIOD. THEREAFTER...YET ANOTHER
COASTAL SYSTEM WILL CROSS THE REGION WITH SCATTERED SHOWERS OR A
PERIOD OF RAIN ON TUESDAY.
&&
.AVIATION /04Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
SHORT TERM...LIFR/IFR CONDITIONS TONIGHT AT ALL TERMINALS AND
INTO TOMORROW MORNING FOR +RA...FOG...AND POSSIBLY DZ AT KRKD. WEST
WINDS WILL ARRIVE AROUND 13Z IMPROVING CONDITIONS TO MVFR. RAIN
SHOULD TAPER OFF OVERNIGHT FROM WEST TO EAST.
LONG TERM...UPPER LEVEL LOW PRES WILL DRIFT ACROSS THE REGION THRU
THE WEEKEND. THIS WILL MAKE IT DIFFICULT TO CLEAR OUT
COMPLETELY...WITH MVFR CIGS LINGERING. DAYTIME HEATING WILL ALSO
RESULT IN SCATTERED SHRA...WITH MVFR OR LOWER CONDITIONS POSSIBLE
IN ANY CONVECTION.
&&
.MARINE...
SHORT TERM...

MORNING HOURS AS EAST TO SOUTHEAST WINDS ASSOCIATED WITH THE LOW
LEVEL GRADIENT WINDS REMAINS OVER THE WATERS. WINDS WILL DIMINISH
TOWARD MORNING AND THEN SEAS WILL SLOWLY SUBSIDE.
PREV DISC:
GENERIC SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY WILL REMAIN IN PLACE
WITH GUSTS TO 25 KTS POSSIBLE AS THE OCCLUDED LOW CROSSES THE
WATERS. A SMALL CRAFT FOR HAZARDOUS SEAS WILL BE NEEDED TO REPLACE
IT AS WAVES STAY ABOVE 5 FT...ESPECIALLY OVER PENOBSCOT AND THE
