What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this small craft advisory 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 small craft advisory went out at Feb 10, 1:23 AM EST, 2 hours 40 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Feb 10, 1:23 AM EST, 2 hours 40 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Caribou ME
123 AM EST Wed Feb 10 2021

.SYNOPSIS...
Low pressure will move south of the area tonight and exit
across the Maritimes early Wednesday. High pressure will build
across the region on Thursday with low pressure to pass well
south of the area on Friday. High pressure is expected to build
in from the west on Saturday with low pressure to cross the
region Sunday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TODAY/...
1 AM Update: Light snow continues along the immediate coast
early this morning, but will taper over the next couple hours.
Did receive one report of three-tenths of snow right along the
Hancock County coast. Little additional snow accum is
anticipated given 6 to 9 sm vis obs at KBHB and radar returns
from KCBW and KGYX are light or nonexistent due to
overshooting. Best tracer of these remaining snow showers is
nighttime microphysics satellite imagery showing OVC skies where
-SN is being reported. High clouds have increased across the
north with temperatures continue steady or dropping, while lower
clouds are overspreading Downeast.

Previous discussion:
The very fast moving low located over the Gulf of Maine will
continue to quickly move off to the E. The snow accompanying
this system is expected to remain in the coastal areas with a
chance of snow in areas as far north as the Northwoods and
Southern Aroostook. However, the majority of snow accumulation
will remain along the coast. Model consensus has kept the
majority of the QPF offshore with snow accumulation around an
inch near Bangor and Bar Harbor. An inverted trof that extends
from the backside of the low into the western areas and as far
north as the Northwoods and Southern Aroostook is expected to
aid in convergence. The NAM as well as the high res models show
this feature with light snow setting up in this area, but
expected to be less than an inch of accumulation.

The low will exit out to the waters by tomorrow morning, bringing
tightening pressure gradients across the eastern parts of the
state. WNW winds are expected to increase throughout the day for
the entire FA, especially over the coastal and outer waters. In
addition, clouds should clear out with partly sunny to clear
skies, bringing temperatures back up to seasonably normal.

Previous discussions and model runs showed a possibility of snow
squalls due to high snow squall parameters across the far north.
Although instability and 925-850mb lapse rate remain high, there
is no well defined boundary for the squalls to develop. In
addition, small 0-2km Theta E difference and surface convergence
in recent model runs do not provide enough confidence to put
snow squalls into the forecast. However, with the abundant
moisture and instability, expect convective snow showers with
possible heavy falling snow with reduced visibility due to
breezy conditions in the afternoon.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
NW flow will continue Wed night and Thu, with potential for isold
snow showers and/or flurries on Wed evng acrs the north. Skies wl
clear thru the overnight with potential for temps to dip into the
negative double digits with wind chills dropping blo -20F late Wed
night into Thu mrng. Temps wl hv a hard time rebounding drg the day
as cold advection continues and clds increase acrs the north. Highs
will avg around 10 degrees blo normal.

Warm air aloft wl mv in Thu evng leading to isold-sctd snow showers
acrs the St. John Vly, an increase in clds and temps about 8 to 10
degrees "warmer." H8 temps warm to nr -10C by Fri mrng as warm air
mvs over ern areas fm the North Atlantic.

Snow showers continue drg the day on Fri acrs the north and east
under warm advection coupled with elongated vort max mvg acrs the
north. Maxes on Fri wl be slightly warmer than Thu acrs the north
and east due with snow showers/flurries contg.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
Cold temps will continue into early next week. Highs in the teens
across the north and low 20s over Downeast through Monday. Overnight
lows will fall into the single digits above and below zero, with a
few cooler nights possible given sky conditions.

Next disturbance is set to arrive late in the weekend. Guidance has
trended a bit further north. ECMWF guidance continues to be quick
along with the GEM with full energy transfer occurring with 12z GEM
over the Gulf of Maine. EC, meanwhile, is out of phase as coastal
low heads off of the NC coast with nrn stream still over the nrn
Plains. 12z GFS is slower and continues to maintain some strength to
the parent low inland, with overrunning pcpn being predominant.

In either case (GFS vs GEM), temperatures are cool enough to support
snow for much of the CWA, but final track will determine ptypes.
Opted to keep everything snow amid the cold temps in place. High
pressure will move in fm the Great Lakes twd New England by the end
of the pd, though 12z EC bringing yet another coastal thru the Gulf
twd the end of the long term.

.AVIATION /06Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
NEAR TERM: VFR for northern terminals. Some light snow remains
in vicinity of KBGR and KBHB this evening with improving
conditions towards the morning. Light and variable winds
tonight.

VFR Wednesday, with possible brief IFR to MVFR from KPQI north
in any afternoon snow showers. NW wind increasing to 10 to 15
knots with gusts to 20 to 25 knots possible in the afternoon.

SHORT TERM:
Wed night-Thu...Mainly VFR, though may see ocnl MVFR cigs across
the north. W 5-10kts and gusty Thu afternoon.

Thu night-Fri night...MVFR across the north in low cigs and
-shsn. VFR Downeast. NW 5-10kts.

Sat-Sat night...VFR. NW 5-10kts.

Sun...VFR lowering to MVFR/IFR in the afternoon in -sn. Light
winds.

.MARINE...
NEAR TERM: Winds and seas remain below SCA criteria. NNE winds
10 to 15 kt tonight with snow developing. NNW winds will
increase throughout the day tomorrow. Seas 2 to 4 ft tonight
and tomorrow.

SHORT TERM: SCA will likely be needed Wed night through Fri
morning. Winds will be marginal on the outer waters but increase
Thu afternoon over all waters. Winds will be marginal over the
weekend. Seas range between 2 to 4 feet through the period.
Light freezing spray expected late Wed night, increasing briefly
to moderate Thu morning.
