What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Gray, ME wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jul 18, 11:35 AM EDT, 3 hours 17 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jul 18, 11:35 AM EDT, 3 hours 17 minutes before

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Gray ME
1135 AM EDT MON JUL 18 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
A cold front will gradually approach from the west today and will
push offshore by late tonight. High pressure will slowly build in
from the west Tuesday through Wednesday and will shift offshore
south of New England Wednesday night and Thursday. High pressure
will hold off the east coast on Friday. A cold front will approach
from the west Friday night and will cross the region on Saturday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
1100 AM update...
Quick update to issue severe thunderstorm watch for all of New
Hampshire and western Maine from 1100 AM through 800 PM this
evening. Strong convection currently firing over northern New
York and Vermont into southern Quebec and is racing eastward at 30
to 40 kts. This activity will be moving into northern New
Hampshire and northwest Maine between noon and 100 PM and will
continue south and east into the remainder of the forecast area
through the afternoon hours. Wind damage will be the main threat
associated with these storms...however more intense cells will be
capable of producing large hail. Have adjusted temp/td/sky/pop
grids to reflect current trends. No other changes planned attm.

Previous discussion...
Have issued a dense fog advisory for southern Oxford, southern
Franklin, and southern Somerset southward to include coastal
Maine. Reports of visibilities from a quarter to a half mile in
fog should continue this morning before low level moisture mixes
out slightly.

Increasing south winds later this morning will transport moisture-
rich air into the region ahead of an approaching frontal system.
Once the fog and stratus mix out this morning, we should get
plenty of surface heating yielding impressive CAPE values by early
afternoon. Southwest winds and warm air advection will help
temperatures warm into the 80s and 90s.

The warm front will lift through during this time
allowing winds to veer ahead of upper level forcing. Storms should
become organized along the pre-frontal trough into one of more
QLCS segments with strong, near-unidirectional wind fields
throughout the layer. The main hazards will include strong
downburst winds as well as heavy rain as PW values climb to near
150% of normal by this afternoon.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
Showers and thunderstorms will shift offshore along the boundary
tonight. Additional rainfall along the higher terrain will be
possible through late tonight before tapering off. Readings will
drop into the lower 50s north as cooler drier moves in behind the
cold front. Farther south temperatures should bottom out in the
60s.

Winds will be gusty on Tuesday in northwest flow. High pressure
builds in from the west clearing out any remaining clouds. Highs
will reach the mid 60s north to mid 70s/near 80 south.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
The models are in good agreement on the long wave pattern through
next weekend. We begin the period with an upper trough axis across
the Northeastern CONUS. The trough axis will shift offshore by
Thursday with West-northwest flow across our area between this
trough and an expansive upper ridge centered over the southern
plains states. With time the upper ridge will flatten allowing for
the flow to become more westerly across the region. The upshot of
this pattern will be building heat and humidity as we head
through the week. Weak and difficult to time impulses embedded
within the westerlies vicinity of the U.S. Canadian border...along
with a series of weak fronts/surface troughs will provide a few
showers and thunderstorms from time-to-time.

&&

.AVIATION /16Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
Short Term...Dense fog and stratus is affecting coastal terminals
this morning as well as AUG. This is causing IFR/LIFR ceilings and
visibilities which will begin to mix out around 7 am. Expect VFR
conditions this morning with fog hanging on a little longer at RKD
and AUG. MVFR conditions with periods of IFR will be possible
today as TSRA with heavy rain develops. This activity will push
into NH by early afternoon and Maine in the afternoon and evening
hours. Moisture may pool offshore late tonight into Tuesday
morning bringing LIFR conditions to RKD. Elsewhere fog will be
patchy and not dense.

Long Term...

FRI...Areas of MVFR in shra and tsra.

&&

.MARINE...
Short Term...Winds/waves are quiet tonight with significant
amounts of fog and stratus over the waters. Southwesterly winds
strengthen ahead of a cold front on today with a marginal period
of higher seas and winds. Small craft advisories possible this
evening...before subsiding overnight tonight.

Long Term...

THU - FRI...Small craft winds and seas are possible.

&&

.GYX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
ME...None.
NH...None.
MARINE...None.
