Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Caribou ME
1243 AM EDT Mon Mar 12 2018

.SYNOPSIS...
Low pressure will begin to move east into the Canadian
Maritimes overnight as weak high pressure builds north of the
area into Monday. Low pressure will develop off the southeast
coast Monday and then intensify as it moves northeast toward
Nova Scotia by early Wednesday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TODAY/...
Update 12:20 AM: Have adjusted temperature, wind, and dew point.
No other changes.

Previous Discussion... Expect mainly cloudy skies across
northern and central areas overnight and partly cloudy down
east. Lows tonight will range from the low to mid 20s north and
mid to upper 20s north.

Weak ridging will remain across the region on Monday with mainly
cloudy skies north and central areas and partly to mostly cloudy
skies down east. Highs on Monday will be in the mid to upper 30s
north and lower 40s central and down east.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
Cldnss will increase from SW to NE Mon ngt as intensifying
secondary sfc low pres from the SE states begins to apch from
the SW. Sn from this system first onsets into SW Downeast areas
erly to mid morn Tue and spreads Nwrd to the St John Vly by late
aftn.

Best mdt/hvy snfl banding again looks to set up for Downeast and
Wrn ptns of the FA Tue aftn into Tue eve before weakening and
lifting toward E Cntrl areas ovrngt Tue. Subsequently, similar
to the last major system from this past midweek, greatest snfl
potential will be ovr Downeast and Cntrl highland areas as sfc
low pres tracks toward Wrn Nova Scotia, but with lesser cut-off
of stm total snfl to Nrn and Ern areas, so that we can confidently
issue an area wide wntr atm watch. Organized banding of snfl
will first lift N of the Srn hlf of the FA by Wed morn and last
out of far Nrn areas by Wed eve.

Cldnss and sn shwrs will then be most persistent across the N
hlf of the FA Wed ngt as upper lvl low pres lingers ovr New Eng.
Temps will cont fairly mild, cold enough for a sn event across
our FA, xcpt perhaps briefly mixed with rn attms alg the
immediate Downeast coast late Tue aftn into the ovrngt hrs,
with the trend of ovrngt lows contg to be well abv avg for this
tm of season. Sn will mix with rn across much of Downeast ME by
Wed aftn and erly eve as precip lightens and transitions to
shwrs as Sfc-BL temps rise abv fzg.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Sfc low pres will only slowly exit NE of the Gulf of St
Lawrence Thu as upper low pres finally opens up and exits E of
ME. This will keep cldnss and sct sn shwrs and aftn lower trrn
rn/sn shwrs going spcly ovr Nrn ptns of the Rgn. Conditions then
gradually improve Fri into the weekend with progressively less
in the way of sn shwrs and cld cvr with slightly colder temps as
the first fresh semi-arctic air mass arrives from Cntrl Can in
about 2 to 3 weeks.

&&

.AVIATION /06Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
NEAR TERM: Any remaining diurnally driven snow showers will be
winding down by late afternoon. VFR ceilings early this evening
are expected to lower to MVFR later tonight, mainly
KFVE/KCAR/KPQI/KHUL, otherwise VFR elsewhere. MVFR ceilings
across the north are likely to persist into Monday morning
before giving way to VFR by afternoon.

SHORT TO LONG TERM: VFR conditions xpctd Mon ngt...then clgs and
vsbys lowering to IFR and then LIFR/VLIFR in sn from SW to NE
across the TAF sites Tue, contg Tue ngt into Wed before
improving to MVFR from SW to NE Wed aftn into Wed ngt.
Conditions improve to VFR Downeast sites Thu, but cont MVFR
across Nrn TAF sites in clds and ocnl vsbys with sn shwrs. All
sites should then be VFR later Thu ngt thru Fri.

&&

.MARINE...
NEAR TERM: Wind/seas will remain below advisory levels through
the day Monday.

SHORT TO LONG TERM: Winds and seas ramp up quickly late Mon ngt
thru Tue morn to potential gales ovr the inner bay and harbor
waters to potential storm force ovr our outer waters by Tue aftn
into Tue eve. Winds and seas will then slowly decrease ovrngt
Tue and Wed with an intervening gale hdln likely needed ovr our
outer MZs and an SCA for our inner bay/harbor waters. Kept close
to blended WW3/NWPS guidance for fcst wv hts.
