What forecasters said that day

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

NWS Caribou, ME wrote its last area forecast discussion before this high wind warning went out at Oct 31, 1:52 AM EDT, 3 hours 44 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Oct 31, 1:52 AM EDT, 3 hours 44 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Caribou ME
152 AM EDT Thu Oct 31 2019

.SYNOPSIS...
A cold front will stall across northern Maine overnight. Low
pressure will approach Thursday then cross the region Friday.
High pressure will build across the area Saturday. A cold front
will cross the region Sunday. High pressure will cross the
region Monday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TODAY/...
145 AM Update...
Fog has developed across portions of the area. Temps were
adjusted to fit the latest obs as readings were slowly dropping
off. Radar showed some showers moving into nw areas and another
batch of light showers/drizzle across the Bangor and Downeast
region. The latest run of the RAP and NAM12 matched up well
w/the radar and obs. Leaned w/this blend through the overnight
period showing steadier rain developing by daybreak. Rest of the
forecast sitting well attm.

Previous Discussion...
A low over Ohio with a warm front extending into Northwestern
Maine will be the primary weather feature to affect our area
through the near term period. By Thursday morning the low will
move east to Lake Ontario, the warm front will affect the entire
state. The warm front will remain fairly stationary across the
state through the end of the period, as the low tracks east
along the front. By the end of the period the low will track
east to Northern New Hampshire/Southern Quebec.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
Upr lvl trof mvg thru the Rockies this aftn will mv into the Great
Lks Thu evening. Sfc low pressure associated with this system wl
slide into the Lk Erie region by 00z Fri with wmfnt extending to the
northeast along the international brdr. CWA wl be in the warm sector
Thu night as low intensifies ovr swrn Quebec.

LLJ intensifies rapidly bfr midnight Thu night as H9 winds increase
to between 50-60kts by 03z along the Downeast coast. By 12z Fri
expect that H9 winds will be on the order of 70-75kts over far sern
zones. Hv issued a High Wind Watch for Hancock and coastal and
central Washington counties from 06z-15z Friday. Only caveat will be
how much of an impact the stable layer in the blyr wl hv on mixing
during the ovrngt hrs.

The other story will be the rainfall, locally heavy at times
throughout the ovrngt hrs. Models are trending a tad further north
with the hvy rain threat along the frontal bndry as intensifying
lopres mvs thru nrn Aroostook Fri mrng. At the same time, a
convective squall line looks to mv thru the area on Fri mrng
immediately along the cdfnt. SHERB parameters > 1.0 drg the
morning so wl definitely be able to feel fropa as it mvs thru.

Hv not added in thunder attm as vry meager lapse rates preclude a
mention but cannot rule out an isold lightning strike with this
line. SW winds wl gust to advisory criteria in the aftn acrs the
rest of the region as deep mixing to H8 wl easily transfer momentum
down to the sfc upwards of 40kts. Expect that a wind advisory will
likely be needed for Friday in wake of cdfnt passage. Power outages
are expected on Friday with mins on Saturday dropping into the 20s
acrs the north and nr frzg ovr Downeast areas.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
Temps on Saturday wl be a few degrees blo normal with highs in the
40s ovr the entire area. High pressure will build in fm the west on
Sat mrng with dry and mosunny conds expected throughout the day.
Fairly benign wx pattern in the offing thru the end of the long term
pd. Temps wl moderate drg the extndd with upr lvl ridge rmng thru
the day Tue.

&&

.AVIATION /06Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
NEAR TERM: IFR/LIFR conditions will occur across the region
overnight with developing rain and patchy fog. IFR/LIFR
conditions will persist across the region Thursday with rain.
Low level wind shear will be a concern across the region
Thursday. South winds will gust to 20 to 30 mph across much of
the region Thursday, with 30 to 40 mph gusts along the Downeast
coast.

SHORT TERM:
Thu night: IFR in rain and fog with terminals in warm sector.
+RA may affect PQI, CAR and FVE overnight. LLWS will likely be a
factor for all terminals through Fri morning with strong and
gusty south sfc winds as well.

Fri: IFR improves to MVFR/VFR as fropa occurs between 12z and
15z. Winds will shift to the sw as become gusty in the
afternoon, up to 35-40kts. LLWS rmns likely immediately ahead of
cold front during the morning.

Sat-Sat night: VFR under high pressure. Light winds becoming
light southerly Sat night.

Sun: MVFR/IFR cigs possible over northern terminals with next
system. W winds 5-10kts.
