AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CARIBOU ME
1148 PM EST SAT JAN 17 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL MOVE EAST OF THE REGION TONIGHT. STRENGTHENING
LOW PRESSURE WILL APPROACH FROM THE SOUTH SUNDAY THEN TRACK NORTH
ACROSS MAINE SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY/...
MIDNIGHT UPDATE...TEMPERATURES WILL SLOWLY RISE OVERNIGHT AS
CLOUDS INCREASE. SOME PATCHY BLACK ICE IS POSSIBLE DOWNEAST AS
MOIST AIR MOVES IN FROM THE OCEAN TOWARD MORNING. NO SIG CHANGES
TO OVERNIGHT FORECAST THIS HOUR.

SUNDAY WILL BE A MAINLY CLOUDY DAY WITH SOME LIGHT SNOW OR PATCHY
FREEZING DRIZZLE ACROSS DOWN EAST AREAS SUNDAY MORNING. MOISTURE
WILL START TO INCREASE LATER SUNDAY AFTERNOON AS LOW PRESSURE
STARTS TRACKING TOWARD THE AREA FROM THE WEST. THE PRECIPITATION
ACROSS DOWN EAST WILL BE MAINLY IN THE FORM OF RAIN SUNDAY
AFTERNOON. ACROSS NORTHERN AND CENTRAL AREAS THE PRECIPITATION
WILL START AS SNOW AND THEN GRADUALLY CHANGE TO RAIN...EXCEPT
ACROSS NORTHWEST AREAS AND THE ST JOHN VALLEY WHERE THE LOW LEVEL
COLD AIR WILL BE HARDER TO SCOUR OUT RESULTING IN SOME LIGHT SNOW
AND FREEZING RAIN. ANY SNOW ACCUMULATION THROUGH THE DAY SUNDAY
WILL BE AN INCH OR LESS. WILL NOT BE ISSUING ANY WINTER WEATHER
ADVISORIES AT THIS POINT BUT WE MAY NEED SOME ADVISORIES FOR
NORTHERN AREAS DUE TO THE POTENTIAL OF SOME FREEZING RAIN LATER
SUNDAY.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
ALMOST ALL MODEL GUIDANCE IS NOW COHERENT IN SHOWING THE MID ATLC
STATES LOW TRACKING NWRD ALG THE WRN ME/ERN NH BORDER BY MON
MORN...THEN INTO ERN QB ALG THE ST LAWRENCE RVR. THIS SCENARIO
MEANS MSLY A NONE SN EVENT FOR THE FA...WITH PERHAPS A BRIEF SN/PL
MIX ALG NEAR THE QB BORDER OF XTRM NW ME SUN EVE AND POCKETS OF
FZRA OVR THE VLYS OF NW ME. EVEN HERE...PRECIP SHOULD TRANSITION
TO ALL RN BY MON MORN. ELSEWHERE...PRECIP WILL BE ALL RN OVR THIS
PTN OF THE FCST...WITH PERHAPS POCKETS OF FZRA ERLY EVE SUN EVE
OVR NE AND N CNTRL PTNS OF THE FA. TO FACILITATE THE AFFECT OF
COLD GROUND DUE TO PREV COLD WX EPISODES...WE FORCED FZRA TO BE
PRODUCED IN OUR HRLY WX GRIDS WITH SFC TEMPS UNDER 34 DEG
F...RATHER THAN 32 DEG...WITH RD SFCS THE MAIN CONCERN. GIVEN
UNCERTAINTY WITH TEMPS...WE HELD OFF ON WNTR WX ADVS OVR THE NW
ATTM. SINCE WE WERE ACTUALLY A LITTLE SLOWER WITH THE WARM-UP
ACROSS OUR FA THAN MOST MODELS...MEANING THAT IF TEMPS END UP
BEING A LITTLE MILDER...WE MAY NOT NEED WNTR WX ADVS...BUT ITS TO
ERLY TO TELL ATTM.

THE CONSENSUS OF MODEL OUTPUT GENERALLY GIVES THE REGION BETWEEN
0.75 TO 1.50 INCHES OF LIQ CONTENT BEFORE STEADY RNFL TAPERS TO SN
SHWRS BY MON EVE...AND WE BELIEVE THE SN PACK SHOULD BE ABLE TO
MSLY ABSORB THIS WITHOUT MUCH RUN-OFF. CANNOT RULE OUT SOME ICE
MOVEMENT ON A MAINSTEM RVR OR TWO WITH THAWING TEMPS...BUT THIS
SHOULD BE ISOLATED IN NATURE...NOT WORTH HOLDING THE ENTIRE FCST
AREA HOSTAGE WITH A FLOOD WATCH.

OTHERWISE...THE LAST CONCERN IS WIND...MSLY FOR THE DOWNEAST COAST
NWRD TO CNTRL WASHINGTON COUNTY SPCLY LATE SUN NGT THRU MOST OF
MON MORN...WHERE WE HAVE ISSUED A HIGH WIND WATCH. THE GFS IN
PARTICULAR SHOWS A STRONG LLVL JET UPWARDS TO 70 KT PERPENDICULAR
TO THE DOWNEAST COAST WHEN THE STRONGEST LLVL PRES GRAD IS XPCTD.
SFC- 500M LAPSE RATES ARE RELATIVELY STABLE...BUT IT WOULD NOT
TAKE MUCH FOR STRONGER WINDS ALF TO REACH OPEN COASTAL AND HIER
TRRN LCTNS WITHIN THE WATCH AREA.THE WIND THREAT LOOKS TO END
ABRUPTLY WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE COLD FRONT...GIVEN THE SHARP BACK
EDGE OF THE LLVL JET AS IT IS DISPLACED EWRD INTO NB PROV.

OTHERWISE...RN SHOULD TAPER TO RN/SN SHWRS AND THEN ALL SCT SN
SHWRS MSLY ACROSS THE N HLF OF THE FA BY LATE MON EVE BEHIND THE
PASSAGE OF THE COLD FRONT...WITH MINOR ACCUMULATIONS. THE PASSAGE
OF THE UPPER TROF AXIS AND THE CLOSE PROXIMITY OF THE UPPER LOW TO
NRN ME INTO TUE WILL KEEP CLDS AND SCT SN SHWRS GOING OVR THIS PTN
OF THE FA...WITH LESS CLDNSS OVR CNTRL AND DOWNEAST AREAS. TEMPS
WILL NOT RISE MUCH FROM OVRNGT LOWS MON NGT WITH THE ADVCN OF
MDTLY COLD ARCTIC AIR.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AT THE START OF THE EXTENDED PERIOD THE MODELS ARE IN GOOD
AGREEMENT. A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL BE NORTH OF THE AREA OVER
ERN QUEBEC...A SECOND LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL BE OVER THE SRN
GREAT LAKES REGION...A RIDGE OF HIGHER PRESSURE WILL BE BUILD INTO
SWRN MAINE. BY WED MRNG THE LOW OVER THE SRN GREAT LAKE WILL
TRACK SE TO THE COAST OF NJ...THE LOW OVER ERN QUEBEC WILL MOVE
EAST INTO THE MARITIMES. THE RIDGE WILL BUILD ACROSS MAINE. WED
EVNG...THE GFS AND ECMWF DIFFER A BIT ON THE COASTAL LOW. THE GFS
MOVES IT EAST INTO THE NORTH ATLANTIC. THE ECMWF MOVES IT NE
TOWARDS CNTRL NOVA SCOTIA...BRINGING THE PCPN SHIELD INTO THE GULF
OF MAINE. BY THURS MRNG BOTH MODELS ARE SHOWING A NEW LOW OVER THE
CNTRL GREAT LAKES...A RIDGE OF HIGHER PRESSURE OVER MAINE. BOTH
MODELS ARE SHOWING AN UPPER LOW OVER NERN QUEBEC. THURS EVNG BOTH
MOVE THE LOW OVER THE CENTRAL GREAT LAKES TO SRN QUEBEC...MAINTAIN
THE RIDGE ACROSS MAINE. BY FRI MRNG THE LOW WILL BE OVER QUEBEC
CITY...THE RIDGE WILL BEGIN TO RETREAT TOWARDS THE MARITIMES AS
THE FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THE LOW MOVES INTO WRN MAINE. FRI
EVNG...THE SFC LOW AND ASSOCIATED FRONT WILL MOVE INTO NEW
BRUNSWICK...THE GFS INDICATES AN UPPER TROUGH OVER MAINE...THE
ECMWF A CLOSED UPPER LOW HEIGHT CENTER. BY FRI EVNG A HIGH
PRESSURE RIDGE BEGINS TO BUILD ACROSS THE AREA AND WILL REMAIN
THROUGH THE END OF THE PERIOD. AT THE END OF THE PERIOD THE GFS
HAS A NEW LOW OVER THE ERN GREAT LAKES WITH A FRONTAL SYSTEM
EXTENDED EAST THROUGH THE MIDCOAST REGION OF MAINE...THE ECMWF
SHOWS THE LOW OVR THE WRN GREAT LAKES...WITH ITS ASSOCIATED FRONT
EXTENDING EAST INTO CNTRL QUEBEC. THIS WILL BE A SYSTEM TO WATCH
IN THE COMING DAYS.

LOADED THE SUPERBLEND...NAWAVE 4 FOR SEAS IN THE COASTAL WATERS.
ADDED 15 PERCENT TO WNDS FOR GUSTS OVER LAND...30 PERCENT FOR
GUSTS OVER THE COASTAL WATERS.
