AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CARIBOU ME
1220 AM EST FRI JAN 16 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE TRACKING NORTH OF THE REGION WILL PULL A WARM FRONT
ACROSS THE STATE OVERNIGHT. A COLD FRONT WILL SLIDE ACROSS THE
REGION ON FRIDAY. CANADIAN HIGH WILL BUILD INTO THE REGION FRIDAY
NIGHT BRINGING ANOTHER SHOT OF COLD AIR TO THE AREA.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TODAY/...
UPDATE 0005 EST: HAVE ADJUSTED TEMPERATURE.. WIND AND DEW POINT
BASED ON LATEST OBSERVATIONS. NO OTHER CHANGES.

A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE INTO NW MAINE BY THE EARLY MORNING
HOURS...WHILE HIGH PRES RETREATS INTO THE CANADIAN MARITIMES. THE
COLD FRONT WILL MOVE INTO CENTRAL MAINE. THE COASTAL LOW WILL
TRANSFER ITS ENERGY TO THE TRIPLE POINT OVER NE NEW BRUNSWICK. BY
FRI EVNG THE COLD FRONT WILL BE WELL EAST OF THE AREA...THE
REMNANTS OF THE OCCLUDED FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS NRN MAINE FRI NGT
BRINGING A CHANCE FOR A FEW LINGER SHOWER EARLY FRI NIGHT. A
CANADIAN HIGH WILL BUILD IN OVERNIGHT FRI BRINGING A FRESH ROUND
OF COLD TEMPERATURES TO THE AREA.

LOADED A BLEND OF THE GFS/NAM/GEM/ECMWF FOR HRLY T/DP/WND/POP.
LOADED NAWAVE 4 FOR SEAS IN THE COASTAL WATERS...ADDED 15 PERCENT
TO THE WNDS FOR GUSTS OVER LAND...30 PERCENT FOR WNDS OVER THE
COASTAL WATERS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
SAT WILL BE VERY COLD...WITH WIND CHILL HDLNS CONTG FOR MOST OF...
IF NOT ALL OF THE FA WELL INTO THE MORN. WINDS SHOULD DROP OFF
DURG THE AFTN AS A NARROW SFC RIDGE APCHS THE FA BY EVE. WITH LLVL
THERMAL ADVCN QUICKLY CHGNG SIGN AND CLD CVR INCREASING...OVRNGT
LOW TEMPS SAT NGT WILL OCCUR BY MID EVE...WITH TEMPS REBOUNDING
THRU THE REMAINDER OF THE NGT...SPCLY BETWEEN 06-12Z SUN.

TEMPS CONT TO RISE STEADY THRU THE DAY SUN...RIGHT UP TO ERLY EVE
AS SRLY LLVL WINDS INCREASE. LGT PRECIP SHOULD BEGIN TO MOVE S TO
N ACROSS THE FA BY LATE IN THE DAY...IN THE FORM OF LGT SN ACROSS
THE NW AND MIXED PRECIP OR EVEN RN ACROSS THE SE PTN OF THE FA AS
SFC LOW PRES BEGINS TO ORGANIZE OVR THE MID ATLC STATES.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
MODEL UNCERTAINTY CONTINUES WITH MID ATLC LOW.

FOR THIS UPDATE...WE LEANED WITH THE 12Z GFS DTMNSTC MODEL RUN
FOR THE TRACK OF THE SFC LOW FROM THE MID ATLC STATES TOWARD
DOWNEAST ME SUN NGT INTO MON. WITH THIS MIND...TRACKS VARY FROM
THE 12Z CANGEM WHICH WAS THE FURTHEST E...TRACKING THE SFC LOW
TOWARD NOVA SCOTIA AND THE 12Z ECMWF...FURTHEST W WITH ITS EARLIER
CLOSED OFF MID LVL LOW...ALG THE NH/WRN ME BORDER. DESPITE
THIS...WE NOTED THAT THE 12Z ECMWF WAS FURTHER E AND MORE
PROGRESSIVE THAN ITS PRIOR 00Z RUN. THE FACT THAT THE CURRENT 12Z
ECMWF MODEL RUN WAS NOT BACKED UP BY THE CANGEM...NOR ITS OWN ENS
MEAN SOLUTION WERE INDICATORS NOT TO TREND TOWARD THE DTMNSTC
ECMWF TREND ATTM.

BASED ON THE ABV INFO...WE SHOW MIXED PRECIP AND EVEN RN SLIDING
NWRD ALG THE ERN ME/NB BORDER NEARLY UP TO THE ERN ST JOHN VLY BY
MON MORN. SUBSEQUENTLY...FOR DOWNEAST...E CNTRL AND EVEN NE ME...
MUCH IF NOT MOST OF THIS EVENT WILL FEATURE PRECIP TYPES OTHER
THAN SN...SUBSTANTIALLY LOWERING SN ACCUMULATION POTENTIAL. OVR
NW ME...THERE IS A CHC THAT MOST...IF NOT ALL OF THIS EVENT COULD
BE SN...RAISING THE POTENTIAL OF HVY SN THERE. GIVEN THAT MOST OF
THE PRECIP GENERATION WITH THIS EVENT WILL BE A RESULT OF LOW TO
MID LVL FRONTOGENESIS...THE BAND OF HEAVIEST STORM TOTAL QPF WILL
BE RELATIVELY NARROW...STRADDLING OR JUST E OF THE SN...MIXED
PRECIP TRANSITION LINE...MEANING A NARROW BAND POTENTIALLY WILL
BE INFLUENCED BY HVY SN WITH THIS SYSTEM...WITH EVEN A SLGT CHG OF
TRACK IMPLYING A SIG CHG OF PRECIP TYPES AND/OR SN AMTS. GIVEN AN
ISOTHERMAL 925-850MB LAPSE RATES ALG THE TRANSITION ZONE...FOR NOW
WE MENTION SLEET AS A TRANSITIONAL PRECIP TYPE ALG WITH RN/SN MIX.
CANNOT RULE OUT A NARROW BAND OF FZRA AND ICE ACCUMULATION...BUT
GIVEN THAT THERE IS STILL SOME UNCERTAINTY OF THE STORM TRACK...
FOR NOW WE WILL HOLD OFF ON THIS MENTION. COLD GROUND/RD SFCS
COULD ALSO PLAY A ROLE OF POTENTIAL ICE BUILD UP ON THESE SFCS
LATE SUN NGT INTO MON MORN...BUT THIS MAY BE RELATIVELY SHORT
LIVED IF TEMPS REACH ABV FZG FOR A SIG TM PRIOR TO THE ARRIVAL OF
HEAVIER PRECIP. SOME OF THESE UNCERTAINTIES SHOULD BE RESOLVED OVR
THE NEXT 24 TO 48 HRS...BUT SOME PTN OF OUR FA COULD RECEIVE SIG
SNFL/MIXED PRECIP GIVEN THE MAX POTENTIAL QPF OF 1.5 TO 2.0
INCHES.

FOLLOWING THE STORM AS IT MOVES TOWARD LABRADOR MON NGT INTO
TUE...PRECIP SHOULD WIND DOWN AS RN/SN SHWRS...TRANSITIONING TO
ALL SCT SN SHWRS AS COLDER AIR WORKS IN. AFTWRDS...TEMPS SHOULD BE
MORE SEASONAL FOR THE MID TO LATE WEEK COMPARED TO PAST COUPLE OF
WEEKS. THE NEXT OF SN WILL BE LATER FRI INTO FRI NGT AS LOW PRES
FROM THE GREAT LKS TRIES TO RE-FORM OVR THE GULF OF ME.
