...BEACH HAZARDS STATEMENT REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 8 AM EDT THIS
MORNING THROUGH THIS EVENING...

* WHAT...Please check with state and local authorities regarding
  guidelines for allowed activities. Warm air temperatures in the
  upper 60s to low 70s may cause people to underestimate the
  dangers of the cold water temperatures which are currently only
  in the 50s.

* WHERE...In New Hampshire, Coastal Rockingham County. In Maine, 
  Coastal Waldo, Coastal Cumberland, Sagadahoc, Lincoln, Knox 
  and Coastal York Counties.

* WHEN...From 8 AM EDT this morning through this evening.

* IMPACTS...The cold water temperatures can quickly cause
  hypothermia to anyone immersed in the water. When the water
  temperature is below 60 degrees, the average submerged person
  could loose dexterity within minutes and be unable to accomplish
  simple tasks. Anyone on boats or paddlecraft should use extreme
  caution to avoid this threat.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A Beach Hazards Statement is issued on days when a significant
number of boats and paddlecraft are expected to be out on the
water and when warm air temperatures may cause people to
underestimate the danger of the cold water. Paddle smart from the
start. Always wear your life jacket. Be aware of wind conditions,
tides, and localized currents.

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Gray ME
233 PM EDT Fri Jun 12 2020

.SYNOPSIS...
High pressure will build into New England from Canada tonight,
bringing cooler and drier air to the region. A warming trends
will begin next week as the high gradually settles over the
region next week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 7 AM SATURDAY MORNING/...
As the upper level trough remains to our northwest in Canada a
few showers will continue into the evening hours over northern
portions of the forecast area. This precipitation will be mainly
aided by terrain and also diurnally driven. Therefore, after
sunset expect the showers to diminish along with much of the Cu
field.

Cold air advection will continue during the overnight hours with
H8 temperatures as low as -2C over northern areas by morning.
This cold air will allow for a chilly night, especially in
northern areas where readings will drop down into the lower 40s.
Readings along the coast will drop to the upper 40s to lower
50s.

With drier air pouring into the region, have not included fog in
the overnight forecast. However, it is possible that the
deepest of sheltered valleys briefly has some light fog prior to
sunrise.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT/...
12Z guidance in good agreement indicating an upper level low
will approach Maine and New Hampshire on Saturday. As warming
continues through the day, enough differential heating in the
higher terrain in northern areas may allow for a stray shower or
two by late in the day. Once again, after sunset the light
precipitation should quickly diminish.

It will remain noticeable cooler with highs only in the upper
50s to mid 60s in the north for afternoon highs and upper 60s to
lower 70s over southern zones.

Another chilly night expected in the Northeast Saturday night.
Some cloudiness in association with a weak upper level low will
likely keep readings in the 40s in northern areas. Without this
cloud cover 30s would be possible in the mountains which is well
below normal for mid June.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
The ensemble and deterministic model solutions are now in good
agreement on the long wave pattern through late next week. We
begin the period with a ridge across the central CONUS and upper
troughs over the western and eastern third of the CONUS. With time
we'll see rising heights here in the Northeast with an upper low
taking shape over the southeast CONUS. The models have come into
better agreement over the past several runs regarding the upper
low...suppressing clouds and moisture with this system well to our
south. The forecast period begins with an area of high pressure
centered to our north. The northerly flow will turn onshore Sunday
and that coupled with an impulse meandering across the area
should generate some clouds along with the chance for a spot
shower or sprinkle. The high center gradually settles south into
New England Sunday night then remains parked across the area
through as least mid week as rising heights take hold. A
developing southerly flow will introduce a warming trend with
above normal values expected by the second half of the work week.
An upper trough and unsettled weather returns late next week...
but no widespread relief from are current dry spell is likely.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
Short Term...Mainly VFR conditions through Saturday night. There
is an outside chance for a shower at Whitefield this evening and
again tomorrow afternoon and tomorrow night. However, any
precipitation should be light and brief.

Winds will be relatively light tonight. Not expecting much in
the way of fog as drier air will be filtering into the region.

Long Term...

Sun...Brief lcl MVFR psb in mtn -shra.

&&

.MARINE...
Short Term...Onshore breezes will switch to the west, northwest
this evening as high pressure builds towards the region. Winds
and seas will remain below SCA thresholds through Saturday
night.

Long Term...

Winds and seas are likely to stay below SCA threshold this
period.

&&

.GYX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
ME...None.
NH...None.
MARINE...None.

NEAR/SHORT TERM...Cannon
