Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Gray ME
350 PM EDT Sat Jun 19 2021

.SYNOPSIS...
A front will move through this evening bringing showers and
thunderstorms to the region. High pressure makes a brief
appearance tomorrow into Monday but with the caveat of building
heat and humidity. Precipitation chances return late Monday
through Tuesday night as a frontal complex crosses New England,
perhaps picking up some tropical moisture as it does so. High
pressure then returns for a cooler and quiet end to the week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /TONIGHT/...
345PM UPDATE...
Made some adjustments to precipitation chances over the next few
hours based on current thinking. Low level moisture has lingered
roughly from I-95 eastward while dry air has moved in aloft.
This has led to greater instability in this area, and more
intense thunderstorms. Behind this line, the dry air is mixing
down along with warm temperatures. Still a few showers and stray
storms in this area, although updrafts will not be as intense
here. The drier low level environment, though, will make strong
winds possible here as well, though. Should see the stronger
activity move offshore and into eastern Maine within the next 2
hours.

ORIGINAL DISCUSSION...
Cold front and pre-frontal trough crossing the area will bring
scattered thunderstorms through this evening. Latest RAP
analysis brings an area of effective shear in excess of 35 kts
across the area with pockets of effective shear to 55 kts over
south-central Maine. This shear will overlap an axis of SBCAPE
to 1500 J/kg from interior York County into the White Mountains
and then eastward through the Mid- Coast of Maine. It is here
where thunderstorms will have the greatest chance to become
severe with damaging winds and marginally severe hail through 7
pm this evening. Across the southern half of New Hampshire dry
air aloft has mixed to the surface causing dewpoints to drop
into the low 50s limiting the chance for thunderstorms south of
the White Mountains. The threat for severe storms will diminish
after 7 pm with lingering showers and thunder across eastern
zones through the first part of tonight.

The cold front decelerates tonight and does not clear the area
until tomorrow morning. Overnight some convective debris from
thunderstorm activity over PA and western NY this afternoon will
track across southern New England. This debris will bring
increasing clouds tonight across southern New Hampshire with a
slight chance for showers. Lingering low level moisture will
lead to patchy fog near the Mid-Coast and in northern valleys.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SUNDAY MORNING THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
Cold front will be pushing through southern New England Sunday
morning. The cooler air behind the front does not make it into the
forecast area and with H8 temps rising to +15C to +16C leading
similar high temperatures as today with dewpoints in the 50s.
Small surface high crosses the area Sunday afternoon for mostly
sunny skies.

High pressure shifts offshore Sunday night with higher dewpoint air
being advected into the area by Monday morning. This will lead to
areas of patchy fog to develop by morning along the coast and in
valley locations.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
No significant changes to the going forecast at this time as latest
deterministic and ensemble guidance have not shown any major shifts
in mass fields.

On Monday a long wave trough will continue to amplify across the
midwest/south with heat and humidity increasing on the East Coast in
the deep southerly/southwesterly flow ahead of the trough. Heights
will gradually fall on Monday as the trough approaches and these
will be associated with a SFC cold front.

The question thus far has been how fast does the cold front
progress during the day on Monday? Most guidance has remained
fairly slow, allowing for a dry or mostly dry and hot day on
Monday. However, a few pieces of guidance are a little more
progressive and give the western zones a shot at strong
thunderstorms late in the day. PWATS will be high in any event,
so we'll have to watch for localized flooding if thunderstorms
do make it into our region during the day. Other slower
solutions have a more widespread convective fropa on Tuesday
with some additional tropical moisture infused thanks to what
should be the distant remnants of Claudette. As far as our
forecast PoPs go Mon/Tue, have hedged a bit toward the slower
solution.

We'll cool down for a day or so in the wake of the cold front around
Wednesday, but then it appears that we get right back into a summery
pattern.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
Short Term...Mainly VFR through Sunday, but could see temp
restrictions due SHRA/TSRA this evening at KHIE and KAUG. There
is a chance for some patchy fog along the Mid-Coast and in the
Connecticut Valley early tomorrow morning, but confidence is not
high enough to put in the TAF. There is abetter chance for low
cigs and fog Sunday night as low level moisture returns from the
south.

Long Term...Low cigs/vsbys possible on the coastal plain Monday
morning before lifting. Otherwise, there will be a chance of
thunderstorms Monday evening across western NH. We expect for low
clouds and perhaps fog to move back in Monday night into early
Tuesday morning on the coast with moist southerly winds expected.
Tuesday may feature more widespread showers and thunderstorms, but
confidence on that is low at this time.
A return to widespread VFR conditions is likely Tuesday night and
Wednesday.

&&

.MARINE...
Short Term...S-SW flow will gust 20 to 25 kts this evening ahead
of a cold front and will subside early tonight. Seas will run
to 5 ft along the outer waters through the first part of the
night. Weak high pressure crosses the waters Sunday for quiet
conditions.

Long Term...SCA conditions are likely, at least outside of the
bays, Monday and Monday night as southerly flow increases and
brings seas up over 5 feet. There is some possibility that
higher swells will continue into midweek as the remnants of
Claudette move well to our east.

&&

NH...None.
MARINE...Small Craft Advisory until 2 AM EDT Sunday for ANZ150-152-154.
