Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Caribou ME
1146 PM EST Sun Jan 29 2017

.SYNOPSIS...
A weak cold front will move off the coast overnight. Weak high
pressure will build over the region Monday night. Low pressure
will cross the Gulf of Maine Tuesday night into Wednesday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH MONDAY/...
Midnight update...Cloud cover was decreased a bit in the overnight
period with skies now clear to partly cloudy across the region. No
major changes have been made to the fcts.

Previous discussion...
Currently intense low pressure is located to the north of the
region over the Maritimes. This system in conjuction with an upper
level low pressure system will continue to produce snow showers
across the area into the evening then slowly end later tonight.
High pressure will then build in from the west with partly cloudy
conditions Monday.

&&

.SHORT TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
Sfc low wl be departing well south of Nova Scotia by the start of
the short term with wnw sfc flow acrs CWA Mon night. H5 trof wl be
mvg acrs the area drg the nighttime hrs and main affect wl be clds
rotating thru with vry little snow expected. Ridge axis wl build in
vry late, thus hv bumped temps up by a few degrees as winds wl lkly
not decouple until close to daybreak.

Ridge axis wl be bisecting area on Tue with some sun along the coast
and pcldy skies elsewhere. Temps wl be cold with highs in the teens
acrs the north and l20s for Downeast.

Tue night wl feature a low mvg thru the Great Lks and off of the
east coast. 12z NAM is further north than GFS and EC and hv tempered
pops down to just hichc Wed mrng into the aftn. Considerable
uncertainty still exists where sfc low wl track on Wed with GFS
placing it along the far swrn tip of Nova Scotia with EC bringing it
along the coast of Maine nr Machias by 18z Wed. Hv gone with more of
a compromise soln tho may need to bump pops and qpf further north if
EC ends up verifying.  For now expecting 2-4 inches of snow along
the Downeast coast thru Wed.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Some snow will linger from the Clipper low Wed night,
particularly over the eastern CWA, with snow showers winding down
toward daybreak Thurs. The base of an upper-level trough is
forecast to swing across the area Thu into Thu night, pushing an
Arctic front across the CWA and bringing another risk for
scattered snow showers, especially to northern and central areas.
Will need to watch for potential banding or squalls. Brief, weak
surface and upper ridging may bring a clearing on Fri into Fri
night, but even then, models hint at possible showers.

A more substantial upper trough and surface trough or weak front
is shown in both the ECMWF and GFS to cross the area on Saturday.
It may also cause some snow showers, especially across higher
terrain, but for now kept POPs on the low side. A quick-moving
high pressure center will bring clearing Sunday, but the next
system appears likely to approach Sun night or Mon.

Temps will peak near seasonal norms Thurs ahead of the arctic
front, but after the front passes, a marked shift about 10 to 15
degrees colder is expected for Friday into next weekend.

&&

.AVIATION /06Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
NEAR TERM: VFR expected through 00z Tue, with brief MVFR possible
at the northern terminals late this evening and early Mon morning.
KFVE has the best chance of MVFR ceilings.

SHORT TERM: VFR expected Mon night into the day Tuesday. Expect
MVFR restrictions at BHB, BGR and HUL Tue evening with IFR
possible Tue night and Wed in light -sn. Cannot rule out MVFR/IFR
northern terminals thru the day Wed but confidence is low at this
time. Restrictions possible for nrn terminals Thu as cold front
brings quick snow squalls to the sites.

&&

.MARINE...
NEAR TERM: The small craft advisory for the intra-coastal waters
has been cancelled. The wind is expected to remain less than 25
knots and the seas less than 5 ft. On the coastal waters, the seas
are still running from 5 to 7 ft, but should slowly subside
overnight.

SHORT TERM: Marginal SCA conds Mon night as surface low tracks
south of the Gulf of Maine and brings gusty nw winds to the
waters. Cold front crosses the waters Thur night bringing SCA
levels with strong winds and seas expected into Friday.
