Area forecast discussion, Mar 1, 12:32 AM EST, 2 hours 8 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CARIBOU ME
1232 AM EST TUE MAR 1 2016
.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE REGION TUESDAY. A STRONG AREA OF
LOW PRESSURE WILL TRACK ACROSS THE STATE WEDNESDAY. HIGH PRESSURE
BUILDS INTO NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND THURSDAY INTO SATURDAY.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TODAY/...
UPDATE...OTHER THAN SOME MINOR TWEAKS TO POPS AND HRLY TEMPS
OVERNIGHT NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES MADE TO GOING FCST.
PREV DISCUSSION BLO...
LOW PRESSURE IN NORTHERN NEW BRUNSWICK IS DRAGGING A COLD FRONT
ACROSS THE REGION WITH SOME SHOWERS THIS AFTERNOON. THE SHOWERS
WILL EXIT WASHINGTON COUNTY BY EARLY EVENING. WEAK RIDGING WILL
BUILD THIS EVENING. ANOTHER TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE WILL SPEED
ACROSS QUEBEC AND DRAG AN ARCTIC FRONT ACROSS THE STATE AFTER
MIDNIGHT. THIS FRONT WILL SET OFF SOME SNOW SQUALLS AND INTRODUCE
SHARPLY COLDER AIR. SOME OF SNOW SQUALLS COULD PRODUCE NEAR ZERO
VISIBILITY AND STRONG WIND GUSTS. THESE ARE MOST LIKELY NORTH OF
HOULTON...AND IN PARTICULAR...TOWARDS THE SAINT JOHN VALLEY.
FORTUNATELY...THESE SQUALLS WILL AFFECT THE AREA BETWEEN MIDNIGHT
AND DAYBREAK. ON TUESDAY...THE ARCTIC AIR WILL SETTLE INTO THE
AREA WITH TEMPERATURES RISING LITTLE IF ANY FROM MORNING READINGS. EXPECT
STRONG WIND GUSTS IN THE MORNING...BUT WINDS WILL SUBSIDE IN THE
AFTERNOON AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS. HIGHS WILL RANGE FROM THE TEENS
NORTH TO NEAR 30F ALONG THE COAST.
&&
.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
THE FOCUS OF THIS FORECAST PERIOD IS A NEGATIVELY TILTED UPPER
TROUGH AND ASSOCIATED STRONG SURFACE LOW FORECAST TO MOVE DIRECTLY
OVER CENTRAL AND NORTHERN MAINE. WE ARE HIGHLY CONFIDENT THAT ONE TO
ONE AND A QUARTER INCH OF PRECIPITATION WILL FALL. WE HAVE MUCH
LESS CONFIDENCE OF WHAT TYPE OF PRECIPITATION WILL FALL FOR MOST OF
THIS EVENT IN AN AREA BOUNDED BY PRESQUE ISLE TO HOULTON TO
GREENVILLE.
AN ANALYSIS OF VARIOUS MODEL THICKNESS LEVELS AND FORECAST SOUNDINGS
SHOW AN IMPRESSIVE LOW LEVEL /1000 TO 850 MB/ THICKNESS GRADIENT
FROM THE ST JOHN VALLEY SOUTHEAST TO A LINE FROM JACKMAN TO CARIBOU.
THE 850 TO 700 MB THICKNESS LEVEL SHOW A JUST AS IMPRESSIVE PUSH OF
WARM AIR WEDNESDAY MORNING. ONCE THE SURFACE LOW MOVES NORTHEAST
OF THE FORECAST AREA...THICKNESSES RAPIDLY DECREASE IN COLD AIR
ADVECTION BEFORE THE PRECIPITATION ENDS.
ISSUED A WINTER STORM WATCH FOR LATE TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH EARLY
THURSDAY MORNING FOR ZONES WITH MORE THAN 50 PERCENT PROBABILITY
OF 10 INCHES OR MORE OF SNOWFALL AND UP TO .15 INCHES OF ICE
ACCUMULATION.
BITTER ARCTIC AIR PUSHES INTO MAINE LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO
THURSDAY WITH HIGH TEMPERATURES 15 TO 20 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL FOR
EARLY MARCH. WIND GUSTS TO 25 MPH MAY PROMPT THE ISSUANCE OF WIND
CHILL ADVISORIES ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE CROWN OF MAINE.
&&
.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
WITH THE MID-WEEK SYSTEM NOW OUT OF THE LONG-TERM, THE FORECAST
FOR NEXT WEEKEND MAY BE A BIT ON THE DULL SIDE. THE GFS AND EURO
BOTH SHOW A SERIES OF WEAK SFC HIGHS MOVING ACROSS THE CWA,
KEEPING THE LONG-TERM MOSTLY DRY. THEY BOTH SHOW A SOUTHERLY
STORM TRACK, WITH A POTENT LOW PASSING WELL SOUTH OF NEW ENGLAND
FRI AND FRI NIGHT, WITH NO IMPACTS TO OUR CWA. ANOTHER LOW PASSING
TO THE SOUTH SUN AND SUN NIGHT MAY HAVE AN INVERTED TROF EXTENDING
NORTH INTO SRN MAINE, POSSIBLY CAUSING SOME SN SHWRS FOR THE SRN
AND WRN CWA, BUT KEPT POPS SCHC AND CHC FOR NOW. THE ONE WILD CARD
IN THE FCST AS OF NOW WILL BE THE FRI EVENT. IT IS A POTENT LOW,
AND THE CMC HAS IT COMING INTO THE GULF OF MAINE AND GIVING US A
HIGH IMPACT EVENT. BUT GIVEN THAT IT IS ALONE IN BEING THAT FAR
NORTH WITH THE SFC LOW, UPR TROF, AND JET STREAK, IT IS NOT BEING
TREATED AS LIKELY AND SUPERBLEND POPS WERE LOWERED FOR THAT TIME
FRAME. TEMPS WILL BEGIN THE WEEKEND BLW NORM, BUT A WARMING TREND
IS FORECAST EARLY NEXT WEEK.
&&
.AVIATION /06Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
NEAR TERM: MAINLY MVFR CONDS OVR NORTHERN TERMINALS TONIGHT BEFORE
DROPPING TO IFR AT FVE, CAR AND PQI AS SNOW SQUALLS PASS THROUGH
AREA AHEAD OF ARCTIC FRONT. QUESTION IS HOW FAR SOUTH THE SNOW
SQUALLS WILL BE ABLE TO IMPACT TERMINALS. CONFIDENCE IS TOO LOW TO TEMPO
VIS TO A QUARTER MILE AND 35 MPH GUSTS, ALTHOUGH THESE ARE
CERTAINLY POSSIBLE. AFTER -SHSN PASS THROUGH EXPECT VFR CONDITIONS
AFTER 12Z TUE. BGR AND BHB WILL BE VFR NEXT 24 HOURS.
SHORT TERM: LIFR OR IFR CIGS AND VSBYS ARE EXPECTED FOR KFVE KCAR
KPQI AND KHUL FROM LATE TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY EVENING
DUE TO SNOW...SLEET...FREEZING RAIN AND FOG.
VFR CONDITIONS WILL RETURN THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY.
&&
.MARINE...
NEAR TERM: HAVE ISSUED A GALE WARNING FOR LATER TONIGHT AS STRONG
WINDS AND COLD AIR MOVE OVER THE WATERS. SOME GUSTS TO 40 KTS ARE
POSSIBLE ALONG WITH 5 TO 9 FOOT SEAS.
SHORT TERM: A GALE WATCH WILL BE NEEDED FOR WEDNESDAY DUE TO WIND
GUSTS TO 40 MPH. SEAS WILL QUICKLY RISE TO 10-15 FEET ON WEDNESDAY
WITH THE PASSAGE OF A STRONG AREA OF LOW PRESSURE ACROSS MAINE.
WINDS AND SEAS SUBSIDE WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY WITH HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDING INTO THE REGION. AN SCA WILL BE NEEDED THURSDAY.
FREEZING SPRAY SHOULD BE A CONCERN WITH MUCH COLDER AIR AND A STRONG
OFFSHORE WIND.
