Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Caribou ME
335 PM EDT Sat Mar 18 2017

.SYNOPSIS...
High pressure will move east of the region overnight. low
pressure will track well south of the region Sunday and Sunday
night. High pressure Will rebuild across the region Monday. A
cold front will cross the region Tuesday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
Sfc high pres will hold ovr the FA ovrngt with mclr skies and
lgt to calm winds spcly across the N. With favorable sfc-850mb
hydrolapse rates...mdtly strong sfc invsn conditions should
develop spcly ovr Nrn vlys, with ovrngt lows only somewhat lmtd
by the relative lack of llvl arctic air. Hi cldnss advcg Nwrd
late tngt from a developing sfc low ovr the open Atlc E of the
mid Atlc states will slow radiational cooling ovr Downeast ptns
of the region late tngt.

Otherwise, models are in fair agreement with lgt sn msly just
grazing the Downeast ptn of the region Sun aftn as the open
Atlc low moves ENE well S of Nova Scotia. Prior to and at the tm
of any snfl ovr this region, hi cldnss will xpnd Nwrd into Nrn
ME...resulting ptly cldy skies there. Any lgt snfl occurring
ovr Downeast ME Sun eve will msly exit into NB prov late Sun ngt
with skies remaining ptly cldy across the N. At this tm, we
indicate 1 to 2 inches of snfl along the Downeast coast by
the event end late Sun ngt, amts dropping quickly as one moves
inland to the N. High temps Sun across the N will be similar to
tdy, but a few deg cooler ovr Cntrl and especially Downeast
areas held back by thicker cld cvr an any snfl. Ovr ngt lows
Sun ngt across the region will likely be a little milder than
tngt's.

&&

.SHORT TERM /MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
Weak High pressure is expected to build in from the west early
Monday then move east into the Atlantic. At the same time the
eastern portion of the region will be on the edge of
precipitation from low pressure well to the east. Later in the
evening the precipitation field will move off to the east as a
cold front approaches from the northwest. The cold front is then
expected to move across the region Tuesday resulting in snow
showers.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
An upper level low pressure system will then pass to the north
of the state Tuesday Night along with the advection of colder
air. This will result in scattered snow showers, especially in
the north and higher terrain. Expect clearing conditions
Wednesday and Thursday as high pressure and drier air move in
from the west. The strong high will crest over New England
Thursday Night then move east into the Atlantic. Intense low
pressure is then expected to move into the Great Lakes Friday as
high pressure continues to move away to the east.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
NEAR TERM: VFR xpctd...xcpt Sun aftn thru Sun eve across
Downeast sites when MVFR and perhaps even brief IFR clgs/vsbys
are possible in lgt sn.

SHORT TERM: Expect VFR conditions Monday through Thursday.

&&

.MARINE...
NEAR TERM: The gale watch for our outer MZs Sun aftn into Mon
morn has been converted to a Gale wrng with a corresponding SCA
for our inner bay/harbor MZ. Kept close to WW3 wv guidance for
fcst wv hts.

SHORT TERM: For sustained winds have used a model blend of the
NAM, GFS, and ECMWF through Tuesday then transition to the Super
Blend Winds. For Waves: For Monday combined seas expected to be
a combination of northeast wind wave generated by intense low
pressure passing well to the east and long period southeasterly
swell generated by the same storm system. On Tuesday the
southeasterly wave field subsides as off-shore wind wave builds
to 6-7 feet/7-8 seconds. The off-shore wind wave is expected to
subside along the winds early Tuesday. For wave grids will use
the Near Shore Prediction System (NWPS) then transition to the
Wave Watch III waves Tuesday Night.
