Area forecast discussion, Feb 24, 10:42 AM EST, 4 hours 18 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED
National Weather Service Gray ME
1042 AM EST Sun Feb 24 2019
.SYNOPSIS...
Wintry precipitation moves through the region today with low
pressure developing over the Gulf of Maine. This low will
strengthen as it exits to the east tonight, causing strong west
winds to move in behind it for tonight and Monday. Winds shift
to the northwest behind a cold front Monday night and stay
strong into Tuesday. High pressure will continue to build east
Wednesday before cresting over the region Friday. Low pressure
will approach from the west Saturday before crossing the region
Sunday.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
Update...Another complex wx system moving thru today with all
types of precip. Melting layer is steadily advancing NEwd thru
Srn NH and now into adjacent SWrn ME. Based on forecast
soundings...it is a rather skinny cold layer near the surface
and so I expect mainly freezing rain as opposed to sleet. The
farther N one heads the more likely mixed precip remains sleet
and not rain. I have trimmed snowfall amounts back some based on
the current movement of the melting layer and hi-res model
forecasts.
ORIGINAL DISCUSSION...
First reports of precipitation finally being noted in our
forecast area early this morning as warm advection aloft ahead
of a trough axis/warm front trigger light snow. As the trough
axis reaches the Gulf of Maine, secondary low pressure develops
quickly along it and intensifies precipitation over Maine as the
day goes on. Meanwhile, warm air aloft causes snow to change to
freezing rain for the southern half of New Hampshire and
southwest Maine, although coastal areas may warm above freezing.
Still a good deal of uncertainty on the ground level
temperature forecast through the day today, so we may have to
make adjustments as we begin to see the whites of its eyes. Once
the trough axis moves by this evening, winds shift to the west
and precipitation comes to an end.
Heaviest snow will fall across interior western Maine in the
mountains and foothills region. This area is most likely to stay
all snow today and get heavier precipitation amounts due to the
addition of lift from the developing surface low and moisture
dragged in from the Gulf of Maine. Current Winter Weather
Advisory and Winter Storm Warning products fit well with the
current forecast and do not need to change these yet.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM MONDAY/...
Update...Early look at 12z models are showing the strongest core
of low to mid level winds moving across Srn NH during the day
Mon. Low level cold also mixes out fairly quickly late this
evening as CAA quickly develops. I have bumped winds up tonight
and highlighted strongest wind gusts Mon over the Srn half of
NH.
Previous discussion...Low pressure moves east tonight and as it
strengthens a strong westerly pressure gradient sets up. This
will combine with cold advection to promote good low level
mixing and begin bringing stronger wind gusts down to ground
level. Strongest winds are likely during the day on Monday when
a High Wind Watch is in effect. Best confidence in getting 60MPH
winds is over southern areas on Monday, though the thinking was
it is a bit too early to split hairs and upgrade to advisories
or warnings. Will maintain the High Wind Watch for the entire
forecast area while today's winter weather plays out.
&&
.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
Below normal temperatures and windy conditions expected for much
of the long term portion of the forecast.
Ensemble and deterministic model solutions are in decent agreement
on the long wave pattern through late this upcoming week. A
departing surface low at 973 mb will continue to exit through
the Canadian Maritimes tonight as a strong ridge of high
pressure buildings in from the northern Plains. This tight
gradient combined with strong cold air advection will allow for
very strong winds to continue into Monday evening. Power outages
are possible with this scenario as winds gust over 45 kts.
A few upslope snow showers will develop in the mountains. There
may be light accumulations of snow across the higher terrain.
Expect the winds and very cold temperatures to allow for low
wind chill values Monday night through Tuesday night.
Winds will slowly ease through the midweek period. Dry
conditions will continue as the surface ridge finally crests
over New England Thursday.
00Z operational and ensemble guidance in relatively good
agreement with the overall pattern later this week. As the area
of high pressure finally shifts east Friday, low pressure will
begin to move north from the lower Ohio Valley. A secondary area
of low pressure may occur as redevelopment takes place along
the Mid Atlantic region. This scenario would bring yet another
chance for mixed precipitation next weekend.
&&
.AVIATION /15Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
Short Term...Conditions becoming IFR or worse today in snow.
Snow changes to freezing rain in the southern half of New
Hampshire and southwest Maine, though coastal areas may warm
above freezing and change to just rain. Precipitation ends from
west to east this evening with conditions becoming VFR again and
windy. Strong west winds expected tonight and Monday with gusts
to 50KT possible.
Long Term...Areas of MVFR conditions in any upslope snow showers
Monday night. Surface winds will be out of the west and gusts to
45 kt at times. Winds gradually ease midweek with VFR conditions.
&&
.MARINE...
Short Term...Southeast winds increase today ahead of the
developing low pressure system tracking through the Gulf of
Maine. As the low moves east this evening, winds shift to the
west and strengthen even more. A Storm Warning has been issued
for the coastal waters of the Gulf of Maine as wind gusts of 50
to 55 KT are expected primarily on Monday.
Long Term...A strong west to northwest gradient will continue
Monday night with storm force wind gusts continuing over the
waters. Winds will be slow to ease on Tuesday and Wednesday.
