Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Gray ME
1034 AM EDT Fri Sep 25 2020

.SYNOPSIS...
A warm front will cross the region today and early tonight.
Temperatures and humidity will increase over the weekend with
continued rain-free conditions. A pattern change is expected
early next week with increasing chances of rain Monday through
Wednesday. Cooler air will begin to enter the region late in the
week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
1021 AM Update...Frontal boundary remains stalled across
southwest Maine through southern New Hampshire with current
guidance suggesting it will be slightly slower to move
northward. Have made slight adjustments to near term temperature
and wind forecasts to account for this and latest observational
trends. Rest of the forecast remains in good shape with the
chance for a spot shower in the north later this afternoon.

605 AM...Minor ESTF update to reflect the current mesonet in
near term grids.

Prev Disc...
At 06z...a weak cold front extended from southwest Maine across
southern New Hampshire and into the lower Great Lakes. A 1019
millibar high was centered along the Ontario-Quebec border. GOES
infrared imagery showed some patchy low and mid cloud with this
boundary across the forecast area at moment. NWS Doppler Radar
mosaic was also showing isolated echoes along and north of the
frontal boundary. Scattered valley stratus and fog had begun to
develop across some of the interior valleys where skies were
mainly clear. For today...the boundary should stall out shortly
before starting its return northward as a warm front later today.
We'll continue to see some passing clouds along with sunny periods
today. There could be a brief spot shower...with the best chance
across mountain sections. It'll be another day of above normal
temperatures. Highs will be mainly in the 70s with a few 80 degree
readings over southern and western interior New Hampshire. Midcoast
Maine and the international border will be limited to highs in the
mid and upper 60s.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM SATURDAY/...
The warm front will finally exit to our north tonight. We'll
see some valley stratus and fog develop in the predawn hours once
again. Near the coast...we may also see some marine stratus and
fog develop in the light onshore flow. Lows will range from the
mid 40s to lower 50s. On Saturday...another unseasonably warm
day as sunshine and southerly flow boosts temperatures into the
70s and lower 80s. It'll be a bit cooler once again along the
maine midcoast with highs limited to the upper 60s in southerly
flow.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
00Z guidance in better agreement today in terms of the large
scale features next week.

Warm air and increased moisture is expected Saturday night and
Sunday. Warm air advection will continue during this period with
H8 temperatures topping out near +16C on Sunday. With sunshine
expect temperatures to quickly climb to the 70s in most areas
with lower 80s possible over southernmost New Hampshire. It will
continue to be rain-free underneath a large ridge of high
pressure in a southwesterly flow.

By Monday, moisture will begin to advect northward from the
waters off the Mid Atlantic coastline. The chance for showers
will increase during the afternoon and evening periods.

Models remain in slightly better agreement with the 00Z run
indicating cyclogenesis over or near the Great Lakes region on
Tuesday in response to an approaching upper level trough. This
surface low will move poleward, reaching Central Canada by
Wednesday morning. This will allow for a slow moving cold front
to approach the East Coast during the period Tuesday into
Wednesday. Plenty of moisture will ride north from the tropics
with precipitable water values approaching 2.0 inches. This will
bring our best chance for organized precipitation in a long
time. However, guidance suggests less rainfall along and near the
Maine and New Hampshire coasts where a slightly more stable
layer will be in place. Did not mention any thunder at this time
as the atmosphere remains relatively stable during the
period.

&&

.AVIATION /15Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
Short Term /Through Saturday/...Lcl IFR in valley stratus and
fog vicinity of KLEB and KHIE btw 08 and 12z today and again
Saturday. Otw VFR expected.

Long Term...Mainly VFR through the weekend. Increasing SW to
southerly winds early next week ahead of a cold front. Restrictions
possible in any showers Monday afternoon through Wednesday along
and ahead of a slow moving cold front.

&&

.MARINE...
Short Term /Through Saturday/...Winds and seas expected to
remain below SCA.

Long Term...Relatively quiet over the weekend. Winds and seas
will gradually be on the increase early to mid week next week
along and ahead of a slow moving cold front.
