Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Caribou ME
1200 AM EST Mon Jan 8 2018

.SYNOPSIS...
High pressure will remain to our south tonight. Low pressure
tracking to our northwest will pull an occluded front across the
area Monday. The front will continue east Monday night. High
pressure will build in from the west Tuesday into Wednesday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH MONDAY/...
1155 PM Update...
Radar shows some light returns moving across northern and down
east. Metars show light snow reaching the ground from
Millinocket northward. Not much reaching the ground south of
there with a bit more in the way of low level dry air in place.
Little if any additional snow accumulation expected overnight,
except across portions of down east which may see up to an inch
by morning.

Previous Discussion... Lgt snow progged to
mv into the north aft 00z. Only minor accums ranging fm 1/2 to 1
inch thru 12z as it quickly comes to an end shortly aft
midnight in nrn areas.

Expect that lgt snow dvlps again aft daybreak as wmfnt mvs thru.
This wl allow temps to climb closer to normal values, nr 20 in the
north and m/u 20s acrs the south. Could see a quick inch or two drg
the daytime hours tomorrow.

&&

.SHORT TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
The occluded front which will bring some light snow on Monday will
be pushing away to the east Monday evening. Snow will taper off
during the evening but the sky will remain mostly cloudy with low
clouds lingering. The upper trough will cross the area Tuesday
bringing a mostly cloudy sky with snow showers over the far north
and a partly cloudy sky Downeast. Gusty winds and falling
temperatures will bring a chill on Tuesday. The sky will
become mostly clear Wednesday night as high pressure builds in.
The high will slide to our southeast on Wednesday as a return
flow behind the high and ahead of a warm front brings in some
moisture.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
A series of low pressure systems tracking up to our west combined
with a large high pressure system well east of the East Coast will
bring moderating temperatures Wednesday night with snow turning over
to sleet, freezing rain and then plain rain from south to north.
Some rain, drizzle and fog will continue Thursday into Thursday
night as warm moist air surges north ahead of a strong cold front.
Rain may become briefly heavy as the front pushes in on Friday. The
front will press across the area late Friday into Friday night
possibly changing rain over to freezing rain, sleet and then
snow. A secondary wave of low pressure may then lift north late
Friday night into Saturday bringing more snow north, and sleet
or freezing rain Downeast as cold air presses in from the north
in the low levels. Overall, this looks like a very complex and
potentially messy and icy scenario at the end of the week. It
should be noted, however, that the ECMWF differs considerably
from other long range models bringing Saturday's low to our west
pulling up more warm air, rain and fog.

&&

.AVIATION /06Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
NEAR TERM: VFR with clear skies this afternoon, diminishing to
MVFR in light snow across the north after 01z. Some improvement
possible to VFR around daybreak before steadier snow moves in by
mid-late morning, dropping to MVFR/IFR at all terminals.

SHORT TERM: IFR conditions Monday evening should improve to
MVFR Downeast late Monday night but may remain IFR to MVFR
across the north. Conditions should range from MVFR across the
north to VFR Downeast on Tuesday then be VFR Tuesday night into
Wednesday in high pressure. Conditions should lower to IFR
Wednesday night and remain IFR in low clouds on Thursday.

&&

.MARINE...
NEAR TERM: SCA issued for all waters thru 12z Mon but will
likely need to be extended for the outer waters during the day
due to hazardous seas. Gale Watch is in effect beginning late
in the period as wind gusts look to increase to aoa 25kts late
in the day. Expect that light freezing spray will exist across
the waters into Mon afternoon before diminishing altogether as
air temperatures rise.

SHORT TERM: A gale will likely be needed Monday evening for
strong southwest winds, then again late Tuesday into Tuesday
evening for gusty northwest winds. Winds should be light on
Wednesday as high pressure moves across and then will increase
from the south on Thursday.
