AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CARIBOU ME
1227 AM EST FRI FEB 5 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL STALL SOUTHEAST OF THE GULF OF MAINE TONIGHT.
INTENSIFYING LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE ALONG THE FRONT FRIDAY. HIGH
PRESSURE WILL CROSS THE REGION SATURDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TODAY/...
UPDATE: LOW PRESSURE WILL TRACK NORTHEAST FROM THE MID ATLANTIC
AND TOWARD NOVA SCOTIA BY LATE TODAY. SNOW WILL BEGIN TO SPREAD
INTO DOWN EAST AREAS TOWARD DAYBREAK. NO CHANGES TO GOING
FORECAST WITH THIS UPDATE BUT WILL BE TAKING A CLOSER LOOK AT
SNOWFALL FORECAST WITH THE NEXT UPDATE.

ORGNL DISC: A COLD FRONT WILL STALL SOUTHEAST OF THE GULF
OF MAINE TONIGHT...WITH LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPING ALONG THE FRONT
NEAR THE MID ATLANTIC COAST. CLOUD COVER WILL INCREASE ACROSS THE
FORECAST AREA TONIGHT. SNOW WILL BEGIN TO EXPAND ACROSS DOWNEAST
AREAS LATE TONIGHT...WITH ANY OVERNIGHT ACCUMULATIONS AN INCH OR
LESS. THE INTENSIFYING LOW WILL TRACK NORTHEAST ALONG THE STALLED
FRONT FRIDAY. MODELS HAVE BEEN TRENDING NORTH AND WEST WITH THE
SNOW SHIELD FROM THIS LOW. SNOW WILL OCCUR ACROSS DOWNEAST AREAS
FRIDAY...WITH LESSER SNOW CHANCES NORTHWESTWARD ACROSS THE
REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST AREA. SNOW ACCUMULATIONS ACROSS EXTREME
NORTHERN MAINE ARE EXPECTED TO RANGE FROM AN INCH OR LESS. HAVE
ISSUED WINTER WEATHER ADVISORIES FOR DOWNEAST AREAS FROM THE EARLY
MORNING HOURS FRIDAY INTO FRIDAY EVENING. STORM TOTAL SNOW
ACCUMULATIONS OF 3 TO 5 INCHES ARE EXPECTED FRIDAY FOR SOUTHERN
PENOBSCOT AND NORTHERN WASHINGTON COUNTIES...WITH 4 TO 8 INCH
ACCUMULATIONS ACROSS THE REMAINDER OF DOWNEAST MAINE. LOW
TEMPERATURES TONIGHT WILL RANGE FROM THE MID TEENS TO AROUND 20
NORTH...TO THE UPPER 20S TO AROUND 30 DOWNEAST. HIGH TEMPERATURES
FRIDAY WILL RANGE FROM THE LOWER TO MID 20S NORTH...TO THE LOWER
30S INTERIOR DOWNEAST WITH LOWER TO MID 30S ALONG THE DOWNEAST
COAST.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
FOR FRIDAY NIGHT...SNOW WILL END IN SOUTHERN WASHINGTON COUNTY
AND GUSTY NORTH WINDS BEHIND THE LOW WILL QUICKLY DIE OFF AS A
RIDGE BUILDS...ALLOWING GOOD RADIATIONAL COOLING. THIS WILL
PRODUCE SUBZERO READINGS IN THE ALLAGASH AND SINGLE DIGIT LOWS
ACROSS THE NORTH. IN THE THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE FORECAST
AREA...EXPECT LOW TEENS WITH MID TEENS ON THE COAST. THE HIGH
REMAINS IN PLACE FOR SATURDAY WITH HIGHS IN THE UPPER 20S NORTH
AND LOW TO MID 30S SOUTH. MID CLOUDS WILL INCREASE AS THE DAY
PROGRESSES WITH A CLIPPER SYSTEM MOVING INTO QUEBEC. THIS SYSTEM
WILL PRODUCE OVERRUNNING LIGHT SNOW SATURDAY NIGHT WITH UP TO AN
INCH IN NORTHERN ZONES. TEMPERATURES WILL ONLY DROP SLIGHTLY
SATURDAY EVENING AND THEN REMAIN STEADY LATER IN THE NIGHT. THE
COLD FRONT PASSES THROUGH EARLY SUNDAY MORNING AND CONDITIONS
BECOME RATHER UNSTABLE WITH SOME HEAVIER SNOW SHOWERS OR SQUALLS
POSSIBLE...MOSTLY IN NORTHERN ZONES. A RATHER DEEP SURFACE-BASED
LAYER OF INSTABILITY FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR IS POSSIBLE. THE KEY
WILL BE THE ORIENTATION AND STRENGTH OF THE UPPER TROUGH AND HOW
FAST IT MOVES EAST. MOST GUIDANCE SHOWS THIS UPPER TROUGH MOVING
OUT OF THE AREA BY SUNDAY AFTERNOON WITH SNOW SHOWERS ENDING.
HOWEVER...SHARPLY COLDER AIR AND VERY WINDY CONDITIONS WILL FOLLOW
FOR SUNDAY AFTERNOON. WIND GUSTS TO 35 MPH WILL BE POSSIBLE. HIGH
TEMPERATURES ON SUNDAY WILL OCCUR EARLY IN THE DAY FOR NORTHERN
ZONES.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
SUNDAY NIGHT WILL BE BREEZY AND COLD AS THE COMBINATION OF LOW
PRESSURE OVER THE MARITIMES AND HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING DOWN FROM
CENTRAL CANADA PUSHES COLD ARCTIC AIR ACROSS THE REGION. THIS WILL
BE FOLLOWED BY A SEASONABLY COLD AND DRY DAY ON MONDAY. OUR FOCUS
THEN TURNS TO A VERY DEEP AND AMPLIFIED TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE
DIGGING INTO THE MIDWEST. SURFACE LOW PRESSURE IS EXPECTED TO
DEVELOP NEAR SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND EARLY TUESDAY AHEAD OF THE TROUGH
THEN TRACK TOWARD THE MAINE COAST LATER TUESDAY. THIS HAS THE CHANCE
TO BRING SNOW ACROSS THE REGION TUESDAY INTO TUESDAY NIGHT. SNOW
COULD MIX WITH RAIN OR MIXED PRECIPITATION ACROSS THE DOWNEAST
COAST IF THE LOW TRACKS FURTHER INLAND. ALTHOUGH THIS IS A LARGE
STORM, IT STILL APPEARS SOMEWHAT POORLY ORGANIZED IN SPITE OF THE
TROUGH BEING VERY LARGE. THEREFORE, CONFIDENCE IN LOTS OF SNOW IS
LOW, BUT IT DOES LOOK LIKE SOME SNOW WILL BE LIKELY DURING THE
EARLY TO MID WEEK PERIOD FROM THIS SYSTEM. CLOUDS AND SNOW SHOWERS
WILL LINGER WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY AS THE STORM LIFTS OUT AND THE
UPPER LEVEL TROUGH MOVES ACROSS THE REGION.

&&

.AVIATION /06Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
NEAR TERM: GENERALLY EXPECT VFR CONDITIONS ACROSS THE REGION
EARLY TONIGHT...THOUGH OCCASIONAL MVFR CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE
ALONG THE DOWNEAST COAST. MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS WILL THEN BEGIN TO
DEVELOP DOWNEAST LATER TONIGHT. MVFR TO LIFR CONDITIONS ARE
EXPECTED ACROSS CENTRAL AND DOWNEAST AREAS FRIDAY. OCCASIONAL
MVFR CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE ACROSS NORTHERN AREAS FRIDAY.

SHORT TERM: IFR CONDITIONS IN SNOW WILL END TOWARDS MACHIAS FRIDAY
EVENING. ALL OTHER TERMINALS WILL BE VFR FRIDAY NIGHT INTO
SATURDAY NIGHT. MVFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED FROM HUL NORTHWARD
UNTIL MIDDAY SUNDAY. A FEW HEAVIER SNOW SHOWERS COULD GENERATE IFR
VIS FOR AN HOUR OR TWO SUNDAY MORNING...ESPECIALLY TOWARDS FVE.
GENERALLY EXPECT VFR CONDITIONS MONDAY. MVFR TO LIFR CONDITIONS
ARE EXPECTED TUESDAY.

&&

.MARINE...
NEAR TERM: 705 PM UPDATE...WE DROPPED THE SCA FOR HAZ SEAS THAT
WAS IN EFFECT FOR ALL OF OUR WATERS IN FAVOR OF A GALE WRNG FOR
OUTER MZS050-051 FROM 21Z FRI-06Z SAT AND AN SCA FOR BOTH WINDS

THIS TM PD...CORRESPONDING THE NW PRES GRAD BEHIND THE DEPARTING
STORM SYSTEM. OTHERWISE...VISIBILITIES WILL LIKELY BE REDUCED IN
DEVELOPING RAIN/SNOW LATE TONIGHT THU FRIDAY.

SHORT TERM: CONDITIONS WILL BE NEAR GALE FRIDAY EVENING AND
QUICKLY SUBSIDE LATER IN THE NIGHT. WINDS WILL GUST TO AROUND 35
