AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAY ME
1116 PM EST TUE JAN 19 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
COLD AND GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS WILL CONTINUE INTO
WEDNESDAY BEFORE HIGH PRESSURE GRADUALLY BUILDS ACROSS THE
REGION. A SIGNIFICANT LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL MOVE UP THE MID
ATLANTIC COAST FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY...BRINGING SNOW TO THE
EAST COAST. JUST HOW FAR NORTH THAT SNOW MAKES IT REMAINS
UNCERTAIN...AS THE STORM MAY STAY FAR ENOUGH TO OUR SOUTH TO
PRECLUDE ANY SORT OF SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS.

&&

.NEAR TERM /OVERNIGHT/...
1115PM UPDATE...
ALSO UPDATED TO EXTEND WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FOR NORTHERN COOS
COUNTY WHERE SNOW IS LIKELY CONTINUING THROUGH MORNING AS MOIST
AIR CONTINUES TO FLOW IN FROM CANADA.

1045PM UPDATE...
HAVE MADE SLIGHT ADJUSTMENTS TO OVERNIGHT LOW TEMPERATURES WHICH
IN SOME CASES MAY HAVE ALREADY OCCURRED. OTHERWISE NO SIGNIFICANT
CHANGES WERE NEEDED.

630PM UPDATE...
HAVE UPDATED TEMPERATURE FORECAST AS CURRENT TEMPERATURES WERE
ALREADY NEAR OR BELOW FORECAST LOWS. WINDS WILL KEEP THINGS WELL
MIXED TONIGHT SO RADIATIONAL COOLING WILL NOT BE STRONG...
HOWEVER... THE WIND IS STILL FROM THE NORTHWEST WITH COLD
ADVECTION AND A CLEAR SKY (DOWNWIND OF THE MOUNTAINS). THEREFORE
EXPECT AT LEAST A FEW DEGREES OF COOLING OVERNIGHT WITH MUCH OF
THE AREA FALLING TO AROUND 10 DEGREES.

ORIGINAL DISCUSSION...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL GRADUALLY MOVE IN TONIGHT. THE GUSTINESS WILL
DIMINISH...BUT IT/S UNLIKELY MOST AREAS DECOUPLE AND GO CALM.
OVERALL...A FAIR BUT COLD NIGHT. THE EXCEPTION WILL BE THIS
EVENING ACROSS THE NORTHERN WHITES WHERE UPSLOPE SNOW WILL
CONTINUE. AS SUCH...WE WILL KEEP THE WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FOR
NORTHERN COOS COUNTY GOING THROUGH THIS EVENING.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
HIGH PRESSURE CONTINUES TO GRADUALLY MOVE IN FROM THE WEST ON
WEDNESDAY...BUT COLD AND BLUSTERY WEATHER WILL CONTINUE. WIND
GUSTS AROUND 25 MPH ARE LIKELY WITH AT LEAST PARTLY SUNNY SKIES.
FAIR WEATHER WITH DIMINISHING WINDS ARE THEN EXPECTED WEDNESDAY
NIGHT.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
WATCHING THE WEEKEND...

HIGH IMPACT WEATHER POTENTIAL: SIGNIFICANT LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM
EXPECTED NEAR THE BENCHMARK SATURDAY-SATURDAY NIGHT WITH
CENTRAL/NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND LIKELY ON THE NORTHERN EDGE OF THE
SIGNIFICANT SNOW SHIELD.  ASTRONOMICAL TIDES PEAK SATURDAY AS
WELL...WHICH LEADS TO THE POTENTIAL FOR COASTAL IMPACTS.

PATTERN SUMMARY: RECENT TELECONNECTION SHOW A MODESTLY LONG PERIOD
OF +PNA/-NAO CONDITIONS IN THE PRESENCE OF A -AO.  THE RESULT OVER
NORTH AMERICA HAS BEEN A RIDGE/TROUGH PATTERN ACROSS THE
CONTINENT WITH RECURRING BOUTS OF SEASONABLY COOL /ALTHOUGH NOT
COOLER THAN NORMAL/ CONDITIONS ACROSS THE EASTERN HALF OF THE
UNITED STATES. THERE IS SUBSTANTIAL DETERMINISTIC/ENSEMBLE
AGREEMENT...HOWEVER...THAT THERE WILL BE A SUBSTANTIAL CHANGE IN
THESE INDICES BY THE END OF THIS WEEK AND INTO THE COMING
WEEKEND...WITH THE NAO AND AO BOTH TRENDING POSITIVE. WHILE THE
RAMIFICATIONS OF THIS WILL LIKELY IMPACT NEXT WEEK/S WEATHER MORE
THAN THIS...UPCOMING LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPMENT ALONG THE EAST COAST
WILL LIKELY PLAY AT LEAST SOME PART IN THIS PATTERN REALIGNMENT.
THE EVOLUTION THIS WEEK IS FOR MODESTLY DEEP EASTERN UNITED STATES
TROUGHING OVER THE REGION TODAY TO MOVE EAST THIS WEEK...WITH
CONTINUED NORTHWEST FLOW ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA THROUGH MUCH OF
THIS WEEK. BEYOND THIS...SUBSTANTIAL AMPLIFICATION TO THE PATTERN
ACROSS THE EASTERN PACIFIC WILL LEAD TO THE CARVING OUT OF A
SUBSTANTIAL TROUGH OVER THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY BY WEEK/S
END...THE RESULT OF WHICH WILL BE SURFACE LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPMENT
ACROSS THE DEEP SOUTH THAT WILL GIVE WAY TO COASTAL LOW
DEVELOPMENT THAT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BRING IMPACTS TO OUR REGION
BY SATURDAY. BEYOND THIS...THE TROUGH IN THE EAST BRIEFLY RELAXES
AS SOMEWHAT MORE PROGRESSIVE /AND PACIFIC INFLUENCED/ FLOW TAKES
OVER TO END THE FORECAST PERIOD.

THE DETAILS...

THURSDAY-FRIDAY:  AS LOW PRESSURE TAKES SHAPE OVER THE DEEP
SOUTH...THE NORTHEASTERN UNITED STATES WILL BE UNDER THE INFLUENCE
OF HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING IN FROM THE WEST UNDER COOL AND GENERALLY
DRY NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT.  THIS PORTENDS A DRY AND SEASONABLY COOL
PERIOD.  T8S WARM 1-2C FROM THURSDAY /-13-14C/ TO FRIDAY /-12C/.
EXPECT HIGHS IN THE MID TEENS MOUNTAINS TO MID 20S ALONG THE COAST
THURSDAY TO REACH THE MID/UPPER TEENS IN THE MOUNTAINS ON THURSDAY
AND NEARING 30 ALONG THE COAST.

SATURDAY-SUNDAY:  CLEARLY THIS IS THE PERIOD OF PRIMARY INTEREST
DURING THE LONG TERM FORECAST.  AS HAS BEEN GENERALLY WELL-AGREED
UPON OVER THE PAST FEW DAYS...UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE LOOKS TO
CLOSE OFF FROM THE WESTERLIES ON SATURDAY AND GRADUALLY MARCH NORTH
AND EAST THROUGH SUNDAY.  EVEN AT THE SURFACE...THERE IS GOOD
AGREEMENT IN SURFACE LOW PRESSURE TRANSFERRING TO THE COAST FRIDAY
EVENING ALONG THE NORTH CAROLINA COAST...WITH THE PRIMARY GUIDANCE
DIFFERENCES EMERGING BEYOND THIS POINT IN 1-HOW FAR NORTH THE
SURFACE LOW TRACKS AND 2-HOW QUICKLY IT MOVES TO THE EAST.  THE
UPPER LOW CLOSES OFF BY FRIDAY NIGHT WITH H7 LOW TRACKS FROM THE
VARIOUS GUIDANCE SOURCES MORE WEST TO EAST THAN SW TO NE. THIS WOULD
SUGGEST THAT ROBUST PRECIPITATION WILL STRUGGLE IN IT/S NORTHWARD
MOVEMENT...WITH A SHARP NORTHERN EDGE TO ACCUMULATING SNOW LIKELY
GIVEN HIGH PLACED DIRECTLY NORTH OF THE REGION.

THUS...DESPITE OVERALL GOOD AGREEMENT ON THE GENERAL PLACEMENT OF
THE SURFACE LOW...CONFIDENCE IN A WARNING LEVEL SNOW EVENT FOR OUR
AREA REMAINS LOW AS WE SIT ON THE NORTHERN EDGE OF THE EXPECTED
PRECIPITATION SHIELD. THIS SCENARIO MAKES PRECIPITATION TYPE LESS
OF A QUESTION WITH SNOW FAVORED. TIMING WOULD BRING ANY SNOW IN AS
EARLY AS MID/LATE MORNING SATURDAY WITH ABOUT A 24 HOUR WINDOW
BEFORE ANY POSSIBLE PRECIPITATION MOVES TO THE EAST.

12Z/19 TRENDS...OVERALL ENVELOPE HAS TRENDED SOUTH OVER THE PAST 24
HOURS...WITH THE MOST NOTABLE MEMBER OF THIS SHIFT BEING THE 12Z
ECMWF.  DEFINITELY DON/T WANT TO GET TOO CAUGHT UP ON ONE
CYCLE...BUT THE TREND HAS BEEN TO LESSER IMPACTS IN OUR REGION OVER
THE PAST DAY.

ALL THIS BEING SAID...SUNY STONYBROOK ENSEMBLE SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS
CONTINUES TO INDICATE THAT THE SHORTWAVE MAKING LANDFALL TODAY
ACROSS THE WEST COAST IS WHERE MUCH OF THE CURRENT
DETERMINISTIC/ENSEMBLE SENSITIVITY STILL LIES...SO WHILE THE
AGREEMENT AT THIS RANGE IS REALLY NOT THAT BAD...IT SHOULD REALLY
IMPROVE WITH THIS EVENING/S 00Z CYCLE...AND GIVEN THIS SAMPLING OF
THE KEY FEATURE...IMPORTANT CHANGES IN THE GUIDANCE WILL LIKELY
OCCUR.

WILL HAVE TO WATCH FOR POTENTIAL COASTAL IMPACTS WITH THE FULL MOON
AND ASSOCIATED HIGH TIDES UNDER PROLONGED EASTERLY LOW LEVEL FLOW.
CLEARLY THE EXACT TIMING DETAILS WILL BECOME IMPORTANT...BUT THE
SATURDAY AM AND SUNDAY AM HIGH TIDES WILL BE THE HIGHEST OF THE
MONTH...ALBEIT STILL BELOW 11FT AT PORTLAND.

WILL CONTINUE TO MENTION THE LATEST EXPECTATIONS IN THE AFTERNOON
HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK.

MONDAY:  THE LONG TERM FORECAST PERIOD SHOULD END ON A QUIET AND
RELATIVELY MILD NOTE AS LOW PRESSURE PULLS INTO THE CANADIAN
MARITIMES WITH A MORE PROGRESSIVE AND PACIFIC-INFLUENCED FLOW.
EXPECT SEASONABLY MILD TEMPERATURES AS A WEAK AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE
BRIEFLY BUILDS OVERHEAD.  GIVEN THE PROGRESSIVE NATURE OF THE
FLOW...HOWEVER...A RELATIVELY ACTIVE WEEK MAY BE IN STORE BEYOND
THIS.

&&

.AVIATION /04Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
SHORT TERM...VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY
NIGHT EXCEPT OCCASIONAL MVFR CONDITIONS IN THE MOUNTAINS IN SNOW
SHOWERS THROUGH TONIGHT. GUSTY NWLY WINDS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH
WEDNESDAY.

LONG TERM...VFR CONDITIONS LIKELY THURSDAY-FRIDAY BEFORE WE AWAIT
THE IMPACTS OF APPROACHING STORM FROM THE SOUTH THIS WEEKEND...WHICH
BRINGS AT LEAST THE POTENTIAL FOR A PERIOD OF SUB-IFR CONDITIONS
BEGINNING AS EARLY AS MID MORNING SATURDAY.

&&

.MARINE...
SHORT TERM...GALE WARNINGS REMAIN UP FOR THE OCEAN WATERS THROUGH
WEDNESDAY MORNING. SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR CASCO
BAY WHERE WINDS ARE NOT QUITE AS STRONG.

LONG TERM...WINDS/WAVES WILL LIKELY REMAIN BELOW SMALL CRAFT
CRITERIA THURSDAY-FRIDAY AS WE AWAIT POTENTIAL IMPACTS THIS WEEKEND
FROM LOW PRESSURE MOVING NORTHEAST ALONG THE EAST COAST.
