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 Dec 12, 12:03 PM EST, 2 hours 32 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Dec 12, 12:03 PM EST, 2 hours 32 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Caribou ME
1203 PM EST Sun Dec 12 2021

.SYNOPSIS...
High pressure will build south of the region this afternoon into
Monday while several weak disturbances track to the north. A
cold front will move through Tuesday morning. High pressure
builds Tuesday afternoon into Wednesday. A warm front will lift
across the area Wednesday night followed by a cold front
Thursday night into Friday.
&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
1155am update...Cancelled the Wind Advisory. West winds will
continue to gust as high as 40 mph in higher terrain this
afternoon, but advisory-level gusts are not expected.

Previous Discussion...
Strong low pressure will track from northern Quebec province to
Labrador today, while a cold front exits across the Maritimes
and high pressure builds south of the region. High pressure will
build south of the region tonight, while an upper level
disturbance crosses northern Maine. The tight pressure gradient
between low pressure to the north and high pressure to the south
will support gusty west/southwest winds across the region
today. A Wind Advisory remains in effect across northern and
west-central portions of the forecast area through 1 PM for wind
gusts of 45 to 50 mph. Wind gusts of 35 to 40 mph are expected
across Downeast areas today. Otherwise, expect mostly
cloudy/partly sunny skies across northern areas today with
partly/mostly sunny skies Downeast. The upper level disturbance
crossing northern Maine tonight will bring partly/mostly cloudy
skies to northern portions of the forecast area with isolated
snow showers also possible late. Mostly clear skies are expected
Downeast tonight. High temperatures today will range from the
lower to mid 30s north, to the mid to upper 30s interior
Downeast, with upper 30s to lower 40s along the Downeast coast.
Low temperatures tonight will range from the mid to upper 20s
north, to around 30 interior Downeast with lower 30s along the
Downeast coast.
&&

.SHORT TERM /MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
Mainly dry and seasonable conditions are expected Monday through
Tuesday night as high pressure builds towards the region.
Upslope snow showers and flurries are possible Monday morning,
mainly along the International Border. A shortwave trough
associated with the progression of the left exit region of the
polar jet will move across Quebec during the day Monday, forming
a weak surface reflection. The low will travel north of the area
and into the Maritimes Monday night, dragging a cold front
through by early Tuesday morning. Isolated to scattered snow
showers will develop across the north later Monday into Monday
evening ahead of the front. Given the marginal temperatures and
forcing situated to the north, little to no accumulation is
expected. Temperatures Monday will be unseasonably mild with
highs ranging from the mid 30s to mid 40s as all of Maine
resides within the warm sector of the low passing to the north.

Tuesday morning will be windy, particularly across northern
Maine as the pressure gradient briefly tightens between the low
departing into the Maritimes and high pressure building into
Quebec from Ontario. Winds will diminish during the afternoon
and evening, becoming light and variable by around daybreak
Wednesday as high pressure settles overhead. Lows were shifted
below the NBM given favorable radiational cooling conditions,
especially after midnight. Forecast lows range from the single
digits across the North Woods to the mid to upper 20s along the
coast.
&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
Wednesday starts with surface and upper level ridging in control
and seasonable temperatures. A warm front will lift across the
area Wednesday night into Thursday, leading to another snow to
wintry mix to rain scenario as a strong surface low pressure
system lifts northward across Ontario and towards the Hudson
Bay. Continued a mention of freezing rain with cold air damming
expected to keep sub freezing temperatures near the surface into
the day Thursday. By Thursday evening the entire area will be
within the warm sector. Significantly above normal temperatures
are anticipated, which may challenge records at a couple
locations such as Millinocket where Thursday's record high is 45
degrees. A cold front will move through the area early Thursday
night or Friday morning with falling temperatures expected
during the day Friday. More substantial uncertainty arises by
Saturday with timing and evolution of an upper level trough
moving across the Northern Plains and into the Great Lakes. This
is the next threat for a widespread mostly snow event, but it
is too early to say with confidence that snow will occur given
the uncertainty.
&&

.AVIATION /18Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
NEAR TERM: VFR conditions are expected today through tonight.
Isolated snow showers possible across northern areas later
tonight. West/southwest winds 20 to 30 knots with gusts up to
35 to 40 knots today. Southwest winds 10 to 15 knots with gusts
up to 25 knots tonight. Westerly/southwesterly low level wind
shear through mid morning. Westerly low level wind shear
tonight.

SHORT/MID TERM:
Monday to Monday night...VFR Downeast, MVFR north with low
clouds and a chance of snow showers. West winds 10 to 15 kt
gusting to 25 kt.

Tuesday...VFR and breezy with NW wind gusts to 35 kt, strongest
during the morning.

Tuesday night to Wednesday...VFR with light winds.

Wednesday night to Thursday...VFR early, decreasing to IFR/LIFR
with snow transitioning to freezing rain and then rain during
the day Thursday. LLWS likely. Fog possible. S winds 5 to 15
kts with higher gusts towards the coast.
&&

.MARINE...
NEAR TERM: A Gale Warning remains in effect on all the waters
through 5 PM this afternoon. The Gale Warning could need
extending through tonight across much of the waters, with the
exception of the intracoastal waters. Small craft advisory
conditions are expected on the intracoastal waters tonight.

SHORT/MID TERM: SCA level winds and seas are expected Monday
into Monday evening. There is potential for another period of
gales Tuesday morning before winds and seas decrease to SCA and
eventually below SCA levels Tuesday night into Wednesday. Winds
ramp up once again to SCA levels late Wednesday night into
Thursday, with gales possible later Thursday.
