AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAY ME
949 PM EST THU JAN 15 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE PASSING WELL TO OUR SOUTH WILL SPILL A LITTLE LIGHT
SNOW INTO COASTAL AREAS THIS EVENING. AN ARCTIC COLD FRONT WILL
CROSS THE REGION ON FRIDAY. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN FROM THE
WEST FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY. A WARM FRONT CROSSES NEW ENGLAND
SATURDAY NIGHT. A COASTAL STORM WILL LIKELY A MIXED BAG OF
PRECIPITATION TO THE REGION LATE SUNDAY INTO AND MONDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM FRIDAY MORNING/...
.UPDATE...
INVERTED TROUGH STILL MOVING SLOWLY ALONG THE COAST WITH LIGHT TO
MODERATE SNOW SHOWERS FALLING. THIS FEATURE IS EDGING WEST AND THE
WRF SEEMS TOO FAST WITH THE NAM12 HAVING THE BEST HANDLE ON THE
TIMING. SHOULD BE 3 MORE HOURS BEFORE THE WESTERN EDGE OF THE SNOW
REACHES PENOBSCOT BAY...HALLOWELL... AND AREAS EAST. ADJUSTED
TEMPERATURES AS WELL AS DEW POINTS... SKY COVER...AND POPS. MUCH
DRIER AIR HAS FILTERED INTO NH SOUTH AND THIS HAS ALLOWED AREAS
IN THE WHITE MTNS AND THE CT RIVER VALLEY TO DROP INTO THE SINGLE
DIGITS/NEAR ZERO WHILE THE REST OF THE REGION REMAINS IN THE 20S
FOR THE MOMENT.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
STRONG ARCTIC COLD FRONT WILL PASS ACROSS THE CWA BY MIDDAY
FRIDAY. THIS FRONT WILL LIKELY BE ACCOMPANIED BY AT LEAST A FEW
HEAVY SNOW SQUALLS. THE GOOD THING IS THAT THEY SHOULD BEGIN TO
ARRIVE AFTER THE MORNING COMMUTE. HOWEVER...MOTORISTS WILL HAVE TO
BE AWARE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF BRIEF WHITE-OUT
CONDITIONS...ESPECIALLY IN THE MOUNTAINS THROUGH MIDDAY.

BITTERLY COLD AIR FOLLOWS IN THE WAKE OF THIS FRONT FRIDAY
AFTERNOON AND NIGHT. A WIND CHILL WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR THE
MOUNTAINS FOR FRI NIGHT AS VALUES MAY DIP BELOW THE 30 BELOW ZERO
THRESHOLD.

WIND GUSTS UP TO 35 MPH WILL BE POSSIBLE FRIDAY AND FRIDAY EVENING
IN THE WAKE OF THE COLD FRONT.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
ARCTIC HIGH PRESSURE THAT WILL BE RESIDING OVER THE REGION
SATURDAY WILL MOVE OFF TO THE EAST SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY
ALLOWING A RETURN WARMER SOUTHERLY FLOW TO DEVELOP.

ALL EYES WILL BE ON THE DEVELOPING NEGATIVELY TILTED UPPER TROF
THAT DEVELOPS OVER THE OHIO VALLEY LATE SUNDAY AND THEN SWINGS
NORTHEAST SUNDAY NIGHT TOWARD NEW ENGLAND DEVELOPING A COASTAL LOW
ALONG THE SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND COAST AND THEN TOWARD THE MAINE
COAST SUNDAY NIGHT. MODELS DIFFER ON THE TRACK WHICH WILL BE
CRITICAL ON WHERE A STRONG BAROCLINIC ZONE SETS UP AND THE
RESULTING PRECIPITATION TYPE. THE EURO BRINGS THE SYSTEM FURTHER
WEST THROUGH CENTRAL NEW ENGLAND AND THEN TOWARD THE WESTERN
MOUNTAINS OF MAINE WHICH IS NOT CLIMATOLOGICALLY LIKELY, BUT IF SO
A GOOD PORTION OF THE SOUTHERN MAINE AND NEW HAMPSHIRE WOULD
CHANGE TO RAIN OR A MIX. A MORE LIKELY SCENARIO OF THE LOW/MID
LEVEL LOW WOULD BE TO TRACK ALONG THE COASTAL FRONT AND THE
CLOSER TO/OR ALONG THE NEW ENGLAND COAST WHICH WOULD ALLOW COLDER
AIR TO REMAIN INLAND AND MORE OF THE PRECIPITATION TO FALL AS SNOW.
AT THIS POINT THERE IS TOO MUCH UNCERTAINTY IN THE TRACK SO USED
A BLEND OF THE MODELS FOR PTYPE. ONE THING ALL THE MODELS DO AGREE
ON IS A GOOD DEAL OF QPF IN THE AMOUNTS OF 1.5-2.5 INCHES.

FOR TEMPERATURES DID NOT USE THE DIURNAL CURVE DUE TO THE
POTENTIAL FOR RISING TEMPERATURES WITH THE WARM AIR ADVECTION
POTENTIAL SUNDAY NIGHT ALONG COASTAL AND SOME INLAND AREAS.

BEHIND THE SYSTEM ON MONDAY AND TUESDAY ANOTHER SHOT OF ARCTIC AIR
EXPECTED WITH SOME OF THE COLDEST TEMPERATURES OF THE WINTER
EXPECTED.

&&

.AVIATION /02Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
SHORT TERM...MVFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH THIS EVENING
WITH SOME IMPROVEMENT TO VFR FORESEEN AFTER MIDNIGHT. AN ARCTIC
FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE AREA ON FRIDAY MORNING AND MAY BE
ACCOMPANIED BY BRIEF BUT INTENSE SNOW SQUALLS. SFC WIND GUSTS UP
TO 30 KT LIKELY FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. VFR FRIDAY NIGHT.

LONG TERM...VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH THE WEEKEND BECOMING IFR TO
LIFR LATE SUNDAY INTO MONDAY.

&&

.MARINE...
SHORT TERM...GALES CONTINUE FOR FRIDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHT IN
ASSOCIATION WITH AN ARCTIC COLD FRONT. STILL HAVE A SCA FOR CASCO
BAY AS WINDS NOT EXPECTED TO BE AS STRONG THERE. HOWEVER...AN
UPGRADE TO MARGINAL GALE WILL BE POSSIBLE.

LONG TERM...
THE STRONG NORTHWEST WINDS WILL BECOME LIGHT ON SATURDAY AS HIGH
PRESSURE BECOMES CENTERED OVER THE WATERS. THE COASTAL LOW THAT
DEVELOPS AND MOVES TOWARD THE GULF OF MAINE LATE SUNDAY AND SUNDAY
NIGHT MAY CAUSE STRONG SOUTHEAST GALE FORCE WINDS THAT MAY
APPROACH STORM FORCE. THE SYSTEM EXITS MONDAY ALLOW WINDS TO BACK
TO THE NORTHWEST AND THEN BECOME VERY STRONG AND GUSTY WITH
ARCTIC HIGH PRESSURE SLOWLY BUILDING SOUTHEAST FROM CANADA.
FREEZING SPRAY WILL LIKELY BECOME A MAJOR PROBLEM FOR MARINERS WITH
THE ARCTIC OUTBREAK EARLY TO MID WEEK.
