Winds wl begin to gradually lighten up aft 18z as brief sfc ridge mvs in ahead of system dropping thru Quebec this aftn. Ongoing snow showers this mrng wl rmn west of FA as upr lvl s/wv is approaching the seacoast and wl mv offshore in the next hr or two. No pops are expected over most of the region tho cannot rule out a brief snow shower very early ovr the St. John Vly in low stratus moving in fm the St. Lawrence. Next s/wv currently dropping to the west of Hudson's Bay wl approach wrn Maine around midnight tonight. Light snow showers are possible over nwrn areas overnight with snowfall amnts < 1/2 inch thru the nighttime hrs. With clouds increasing by evening, hv boosted temps up by a degree or two for tonight. && .SHORT TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/... The arctic front crosses the region on Sunday. The concern continues to be focused on the potential for snow squalls and gusty snow showers. Steepening lapse rates through the low levels and moisture profiles continues to support afternoon snow squalls and gusty snow shower activity, with snow squall parameters flashing signal for potential squalls. Like the current thinking regarding pops for Sunday, with his res models continuing to hint at the area from the North Maine Woods through Millinocket and into Interior Downeast Maine for best chances, thus will continue to show an area of likely pops there. Potential for travel difficulties in any squalls/heavier snow showers Sunday afternoon is a real possibility, thus will continue to highlight the threat in the Hazardous Weather Outlook. Sunday night will be a very cold and blustery night. A strong pressure gradient between the approaching high to our west and low pressure to the east will keep a gusty northwest wind going right through the night. Potential for patchy blowing snow Sunday night in areas that receive any newly fallen snow on Sunday. Won't try to get to detailed with this yet, since all depends on who sees the snow showers/squalls, but something to note for the dayshift. With forecast overnight lows falling below zero across the north, wind chills come into play, with wind chill advisories likley needed across northern areas Sunday night into Monday morning, with wind chills as low as 25 to 30 below possible across the North. There will continue to be the chance for snow showers in the cold northwest flow, mainly for northern and central areas into Sunday evening. Unseasonably cold temperatures will continue on Monday as Canadian high pressure continues to build across from the west. Northwest winds will continue on the gusty side into the afternoon with continued pressure gradient across the area. The wind begins to slacken Monday night as high pressure builds across the area with dry weather. && .LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/... Dry weather continues on Tuesday with high temperatures continuing below normal for this time of year. Low pressure passes well to our South on Wednesday with continued dry weather. Increasing clouds can be expected Thursday as the next low approaches. Uncertainty exists with regard to the track of the late week low which could bring a chance for some snow or rain to the area later Thursday into Friday. Temperatures on Tuesday will be below normal, above normal Wednesday and Thursday, then near normal for the end of the week. && .AVIATION /16Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... NEAR TERM: VFR next 24 hours. Northern terminals already seeing nw winds gusting to 30-35kts with BGR and BHB increasing to near 30 kts in the next few hrs. Winds will diminish toward 21z with light winds expected after 00z. SHORT TERM: Sun...MVFR/IFR in sct snow showers/squalls. NW wind gusting up to 30 kt.
