AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CARIBOU ME
1213 AM EST FRI JAN 30 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE WILL ORGANIZE OFF OF THE MASSACHUSETTS COAST FRIDAY
MORNING AND INTENSIFY IN THE GULF OF MAINE LATE FRIDAY. THE LOW
WILL THEN SLOWLY MOVE INTO THE CANADIAN MARITIMES SATURDAY. HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDS TOWARD THE REGION FROM THE WEST SUNDAY INTO
MONDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY/...
1214 AM UPDATE...MAIN UPDATE WAS TO ADJUST TEMPS BASED ON THE
MIDNIGHT OBSERVATIONS. SOME SPOTS...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE EASTERN
HALF OF THE CWA HAVE FALLEN BELOW ZERO. AS THE CLOUDS INCREASE AND
THICKEN UP OVERNIGHT THE TEMPS WILL SLOWLY RISE. LIGHT SNOW AS OF
MIDNIGHT AT QUEBEC CITY. EXPECT LIGHT SNOW TO DEVELOP OVER THE
NEXT FEW HOURS OVER THE WESTERN ZONES...AND THEN SPREAD EAST
TOWARD MORNING.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
HIGH PRESSURE CONTINUES IN CONTROL TONIGHT WITH ENOUGH CLEARING TO
DROP TEMPERATURES BACK TO THE SINGLE DIGITS EXCEPT IN THE WESTERN
ZONES WHERE HIGH CLOUDS WILL THICKEN THIS EVENING. LOWS FOR
TONIGHT WILL BEFORE MIDNIGHT FOR MOST LOCATIONS. THE HIGH CLOUDS
CONTINUE TO BUILD AFTER MIDNIGHT WITH TEMPERATURES RISING.
TEMPERATURES WILL RISE QUITE SHARPLY DOWN EAST WITH THE SOUTHERLY
FLOW ONSET...REACHING NEAR 30F BY DAYBREAK. A CLIPPER SYSTEM
APPROACHES WITH LIGHT SNOW HITTING WESTERN ZONES TOWARDS DAYBREAK
AND SLOWING SPREADING EAST OVER THE COURSE OF THE MORNING AND
EARLY AFTERNOON. THE CLIPPER WILL BE ARRIVING OUT OF QUEBEC...BUT
EXPECT REDEVELOPMENT OF THE LOW OFF THE EASTERN MASS COAST FRIDAY
MORNING. AN INVERTED TROUGH WILL EXTEND NORTHWARD FROM THIS
INTENSIFYING LOW INTO THE WESTERN EDGE OF THE FORECAST AREA.
HEAVIER SNOW WILL START TO BREAK OUT ALONG THIS CONVERGENCE LINE
FROM SOUTHERN PISCATAQUIS COUNTY NORTHWARD TO THE ALLAGASH. AREAS
UNDER THIS LINE MAY RECEIVE UP TO 5 INCHES BY EVENING WHILE AREAS
ALONG THE EASTERN BORDER MAY ONLY HAVE AN INCH OR TWO BY EVENING.
SNOW RATIOS AND INSTABILITY ALOFT COULD CAUSE EVEN HIGHER TOTALS
ALONG THE INVERTED TROUGH.

&&

.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS THE LOW DEEPENS IN THE GULF OF MAINE...THE FOCUS WILL SHIFT
FROM THE CONVERGENCE ALONG THE INVERTED TROUGH TO THE EVOLVING
TROWAL AND DEFORMATION ZONE. THIS WILL IMPACT BANGOR AND DOWN EAST
FRIDAY NIGHT WITH HEAVY SNOWFALL LIKELY. THE DEFORMATION ZONE AND
ASSOCIATED HEAVY SNOW BANDS WILL SHIFT GRADUALLY NORTHWARD IN
EASTERN MAINE LATER FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY. WINDS BECOME A
BIG FACTOR AS COLD AIR WRAPS INTO THE SYSTEM DURING SATURDAY.
EXPECT A LOT DRIFTING AND BLOWING SNOW...CREATING ANOTHER VERY
DIFFICULT DAY FOR MOTORISTS. WHITEOUT CONDITIONS MAY OCCUR AS THE
SNOW WILL BE LIGHT AND EASILY LIFTED. SNOW RATIOS LOOK HIGH WITH
GOOD DENDRITC GROWTH...ACCUMULATIONS WILL BE REDUCED BY THE STRONG
WINDS. BUT HAVE ADJUSTED QPF TOTALS TOWARDS THE LATEST ECMWF RUN
THAT SHOWS A VERY ROBUST TROWAL AFFECTING THE AREA ALL DAY. HAVE
INCREASED SNOW TOTALS TO 14-18 INCHES ACROSS THE SOUTHERN HALF OF
THE FORECAST AREA WITH LOWER AMOUNTS TOWARDS THE COUNTY. HIGHS ON
SATURDAY WILL BE IN THE MORNING WITH SHARPLY FALLING TEMPERATURES
AND SUBZERO WIND CHILLS ACROSS THE ENTIRE AREA BY LATE AFTERNOON.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...

GENERAL AGREEMENT. A CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL DOMINATE

COASTAL WATERS OF VA ALONG THE COAST OF DELMARVA. THE ECMWF IS
SIMILAR WITH THE LOW ON THE COAST OF VA/NC. BY MON EVNG BOTH
MODELS TAKE THE LOW NE SOUTH OF NOVA SCOTIA...EAST OF LONG
ISLAND...WRAPPING THE PCPN SHIELD AROUND THE LOW INTO THE NRN GULF
OF MAINE. BY TUE MRNG THE LOW WILL BE WELL EAST OF THE AREA OVER
THE CANADIAN MARITIMES...MAINTAINING THE HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE
ACROSS THE AREA. TUES MRNG...A NEW LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVES EAST
OUT OF WRN CANADA INTO THE HUDSON BAY AREA...THE GFS INDICATES A
SECONDARY LOW OVER LAKE SUPERIOR...BOTH THE GFS AND ECMWF INDICATE
A LOW OVER IA. BY TUES EVNG THE LOW MOVES TO THE EAST OF HUDSON
BAY...THE FRONT MOVE INTO SRN QUEBEC. WED MRNG THE FRONT MOVES
