Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Gray ME
1047 PM EDT Tue Jul 20 2021

.SYNOPSIS...
Showers and thunderstorms will sweep across the area late this
evening and tonight before weakening in the morning. Low
pressure will hang around and cross the area Wednesday bringing
another round of showers and storms with the potential for a
few strong storms in the afternoon. Drier weather is expected
Thursday into the Saturday outside the chance for afternoon
showers Friday with temperatures generally in the 70s. Another
system approaches Sunday for renewed chances of precipitation as
the unsettled July pattern continues.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING/...
1035 PM...Line of convection moving thru pretty closely to as
advertised. On bow has crossed central NH with wind damage
reports and a few reports of hail. This should make its way into
interior western ME and across srn NH into Hillsborough, before
it weakens. I think by midnight or so, we should see the end of
the severe threat, although some TSRA will be moving thru the
ME coast and into central thru about 2 AM. Also, getting reports
of very patchy pockets of dense fog near the ME coast, although
ASOS/AWOS sites are running mostly 2+SM.

Previously...Prefrontal storms have initiated off the White
Mtns and moved into parts of Wrn ME. These will tend to weaken
with Ewd movement and loss of daytime heating.

More focus will be on the potential squall line in progress over
Ontario and set to move across Upstate NY. CAM guidance is quite
bullish on this reaching the area this evening. Dewpoints will
remain quite high and decent lapse rates aloft thanks the upper
low will keep some modest CAPE around even after dark. In
addition model forecasts of 0-3 km shear around 30 to 35 kt will
support mesocyclone development on the Nrn end of this squall
line and continue a perhaps more isolated severe threat even
after conditions become less favorable. It did my best to show a
cohesive line of storms moving thru the Wrn half of the forecast
area carrying a threat for gusty winds. There will also be a
rainfall threat for SWrn NH...which is discussed below.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
Still looking at the threat of thunderstorms in the afternoon as
the main trof drops Swd across the forecast area. Given the
lower heights overhead we should be able to compensate for the
lack of significant daytime heating. Modest CAPE and slightly
stronger wind profiles than today will lead to at least a
marginal threat for severe weather for much of the Srn half of
the area. Gusty winds will be the main threat and I have
included that wording where storms are most likely. This will
get more refined as storms evolve this evening and overnight.

Storms will clear the area by evening...but clearing skies may
lead to some radiation fog.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
An occasionally unsettled weather pattern will continue. With the
mean 500 mb ridge remaining west New England remains under the
influence of a mostly cyclonic flow aloft.  This will allow for weak
disturbances to come through which would allow for shower and
thunderstorm activity at times especially if they time during
diurnally favored periods.

In the dailies, on Thursday low pressure departs to the Canadian
Maritimes early in the day. A few left over showers over
eastern and mountain areas, otherwise it should be a dry day.
On Friday another disturbance moves across the region in the
cyclonic flow. This should result in scattered shower and
thunderstorms mainly over northern areas. Saturday will be the
driest of the weekend days with only an isolated shower threat
over the mountains. Sunday will start out dry with clouds on the
increase as low pressure moved from the Eastern Great Lakes
area to Southern New England. The GFS and ECMWF have a broad
area of showers crossing the region and Sunday Night. On Monday
both models have a few scattered showers left over but the bulk
of the shower activity will have moved east of the region. Early
indications for next Tuesday are for dry conditions.

South of the mountains, daily high temperatures will be mainly in
the 70s through the weekend before warming into the low to mid 80s
Monday and Tuesday. Expect temperatures to be a few degrees
cooler over the mountains.

&&

.AVIATION /03Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Short Term...Smoke will continue to reduce VIS thru this evening
or until RA/TSRA can clear thinand the 12z ECMWF has a
concentrated area of very heavy rainfall moving just south of
the area with some showers to the north. There could be some
convective feedback showing up in the model but will need to
keep an eye on trends moving forward.gs out. There may be fog/stratus
that tries to work into RKD late tonight...but confidence is
lowering given how far offshore the fog bank is currently.
Otherwise the main aviation concern tonight will be squall line
tracking into the area from the W. TEMPO TSRA at most TAF sites
for the best window based on latest forecasts. Wed more
SHRA/TSRA expected mainly Srn NH and coastal Wrn ME. MVFR or
lower possible in any convectioand the 12z ECMWF has a
concentrated area of very heavy rainfall moving just south of
the area with some showers to the north. There could be some
convective feedback showing up in the model but will need to
keep an eye on trends moving forward.n.Overall MVFR conditions outside of shower activity where
areas of IFR are possible.  Best chance of widespread
shower activity will be on Sunday.

Long Term...Overall MVFR conditions outside of shower activity where
areas of IFR are possible. Best chance of widespread shower
activity will be on Sunday.

&&

.MARINE...
Short Term...Winds and seas expected to remain below SCA
thresholds. Some fog may develop around Penobscot Bay late
tonight.

Long Term...Wind and waves expected to remain below SCA levels.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
There is a threat of thunderstorms late this evening across
parts of SWrn NH and perhaps again Wed. Any rainfall may be
problematic given the amount of recent wet weather and saturated
ground in that area. If storms train over the same areas and/or
feature extreme rainfall rates additional flooding is possible.
