AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAY ME
935 PM EST MON JAN 4 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN FROM THE WEST TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY
AND WILL SETTLE SOUTH OF NEW ENGLAND ON WEDNESDAY. HIGH PRESSURE
WILL HOLD OVER THE NORTHEAST THROUGH FRIDAY. LOW PRESSURE WILL
MOVE UP THE EAST COAST FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY. LOW PRESSURE
WILL MOVE NORTHEAST THROUGH THE GULF OF MAINE AND INTO THE
MARITIMES SATURDAY NIGHT. ANOTHER AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WILL
APPROACH FROM THE SOUTHWEST ON SUNDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TUESDAY/...
UPDATE...MINOR CHANGES TO KEEP TEMPS IN LINE FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL
HOURS. DROP SHOULD BE STEADY THRU MIDNIGHT...BUT FALL MORE QUICKLY
AS SFC RIDGE ARRIVES NEAR DAWN.

BUOY OBSERVATIONS CONTINUE TO SHOW INCREASING LIKELIHOOD OF
FREEZING SPRAY. WITH AIR TEMPS ONLY EXPECTED TO COOL TONIGHT WILL
ERR ON THE SIDE OF CAUTION AND PUT A FREEZING SPRAY ADVISORY UP
THRU MORNING.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING IN FROM THE WEST
WILL PRODUCE MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES AND SOME VERY COLD OVERNIGHT LOWS.
LOOKING FOR LOWS OF 10 TO 15 BELOW NORTH AND 5 BELOW TO 5 ABOVE
SOUTH. BRISK NORTHERLY WINDS WILL SUBSIDE SOMEWHAT BUT WILL LIKELY
REMAIN UP OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT/...
WINDS WILL DIMINISH ON TUESDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE CONTINUES TO BUILD
IN FROM THE WEST. EXPECTING MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES WITH TEMPERATURES
BELOW NORMAL. HIGHS WILL RANGE FROM THE TEENS NORTH TO THE LOWER
TO MID 20S SOUTH.

CLEAR AND COLD WEATHER WILL CONTINUE TUESDAY NIGHT AS HIGH
PRESSURE CRESTS OVER THE REGION. WILL SEE A SOMEWHAT WARMER NIGHT
WITH LOWS OF 5 BELOW TO 5 ABOVE NORTH AND 5 TO 15 SOUTH.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
HIGH PRESSURE AND FAIR WEATHER WILL BE THE MAIN THEME WEDNESDAY
THROUGH FRIDAY. OUR NEXT CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION WILL COME EITHER
LATE FRIDAY NIGHT OR SATURDAY AS A RELATIVELY WEAK SOUTHERN STREAM
WAVE MOVES NORTHEAST OUT OF THE OHIO VALLEY. THE PATTERN
DEVELOPING THIS WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK DOESN/T SCREAM BIG
STORM. A DEEP UPPER LOW DROPS INTO THE NORTHERN PLAINS AND GREAT
LAKES WHILE RIDGING OVER THE WESTERN ATLC PUMPS UP INTO THE
MARITIMES. THIS PATTERN WILL MAKE IT DIFFICULT TO HOLD IN MUCH
COLD AIR AND ALLOW FOR STRONG COASTAL CYCLOGENESIS TO TAKE PLACE.
AS OF RIGHT NOW IT APPEARS WE COULD SEE A COUPLE OF RELATIVELY
LIGHT MIXED PRECIPITATION OR RAIN EVENTS...SATURDAY...AND POSSIBLY
AGAIN SUNDAY/MONDAY. WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR TRENDS HOWEVER.

&&

.AVIATION /03Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
SHORT TERM...VFR TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT.

LONG TERM...VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY.
LOWER CONDITIONS WILL BE POSSIBLE LATE FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY
IN LOW CLOUDS AND MIXED PRECIPITATION.

&&

.MARINE...
SHORT TERM...SCA WILL CONTINUE THRU TONIGHT FOR WINDS AND SEAS.
LIGHT FREEZING SPRAY IS LIKELY ON THE WATERS TONIGHT...AND WITH
MODERATE ACCRETION POSSIBLE N OF CAPE ELIZABETH...I WILL ISSUE A
FREEZING SPRAY ADVISORY THRU 13Z.

LONG TERM...MARGINAL SCA CONDITIONS WILL BE POSSIBLE WEDNESDAY ON
THE OCEAN WATERS IN WESTERLY FLOW...BUT OTHERWISE SUB-SCA
CONDITIONS ARE LIKELY THROUGH MUCH OF THE WED-SAT PERIOD.

&&

.GYX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
ME...NONE.
NH...NONE.
MARINE...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY UNTIL 9 AM EST TUESDAY FOR ANZ150>154.
     FREEZING SPRAY ADVISORY UNTIL 8 AM EST TUESDAY FOR ANZ150>153.
