Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Gray ME
432 PM EDT Sat Apr 3 2021

.SYNOPSIS...
High pressure and and dry conditions will continue through the
weekend. A retrograding area of low pressure over the waters
will drift west on Monday resulting in increased cloud cover and
precipitation chances along with gusty northwesterly winds. High
pressure will then build into New England for the middle of the
week before a frontal system increases precipitation chances
again on Friday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SUNDAY MORNING/...
High pressure builds to our S and W, and should see some
decoupling, although there will still be some boundary lyr NW
flow, so some of the open areas will not decouple as quickly,
or at all. Either way it will be cold tonight with lows ranging
from 10-15 in the mtns to the low to mid 20s in the south.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SUNDAY MORNING THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
Sunday is expected to be mainly sunny and dry. Winds will begin
to pick up later in the morning and during the afternoon,
especially in the ern zones, as coastal to our SE shifts back
to W a bit. Winds could gusts to around 25-30 mph in the east by
late afternoon. Precip will be working into eastern ME late in
the day as well, but should hold making it into the CWA until
after darks, considering very dry air mass in place. Highs range
from around 50 in the N to the mid to upper 50s in the S.

Sunday night will see winds start to pick a little more and move
further W. Also, showers will begin to move into ern zones, and
could even be mixed with snow at times away from the coast.
However, given the initially dry air, think anything that falls
will be showery and light, with no snow accums. Low will range
from the upper 20s in the N to the mid to upper 30s in the S.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
Overview: The long term portion of the forecast will be marked
by a strong blocking ridge across the Atlantic and a
retrograding area of low pressure between the Canadian Maritimes
and eastern Quebec. This will keep temperatures seasonably cool
and provide a few chances for scattered showers. Ensemble and
deterministic guidance suggest that this blocking pattern will
weaken towards the end of the week, which would support a more
transient weather pattern.

Impacts: Minimal impacts are currently expected as the area of low
pressure will remain far enough offshore to prevent significant
precipitation. While winds will be gusty on Monday, they are
currently not expected to be strong enough to cause any major
impacts.

Forecast Details: An area of low pressure near the Canadian
Maritimes will get caught in a large ridge centered across the
Atlantic, which will cause the low to retrograde westward back
towards the Maine coast late Sunday night and into Monday. This will
result in increased cloud cover and a chance for scattered showers
across the region, especially in eastern locations. As the
pressure gradient increases during the day, expecting
northwesterly winds to increase and gust to between 25-30 mph,
especially near the coast. Generally went above NBM winds and
PoPs for this period, with the highest PoPs located across the
MidCoast and eastern zones based on ensemble guidance and the
location of the low. The ECMWF and for the most part Canadian
ensembles are generally drier than the GFS, but the seemingly
higher GFS ensemble mean appears to be largely driven by a few
wet outlier solutions. Given the distance between the area of
low pressure to the coastline and lack of forcing to the west,
generally weighed QPF more heavily on the ECMWF and CMC
ensembles but did account some for the GFS. The offshore flow
will still allow temperatures to reach the 50s in most
locations.

The low pressure system will begin to move towards the east again on
Monday night and Tuesday, which will decrease precipitation chances
as well as winds. This should allow for partly to mostly sunny skies
on Tuesday, especially away from the coast with high temperatures
reaching the 50s and lower 60s. High pressure will keep the weather
tranquil for Wednesday and Thursday with partly cloudy skies
dominating as high temperatures reach the 50s and 60s. Precipitation
chances will then increase again on Friday and through the upcoming
weekend as an area of low pressure and frontal system pass nearby.
Temperatures will still be warm into the 50s though and therefore
rain is the most favored precipitation type.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
Short Term...Mainly VFR through Sunday evening. May see some
low cigs at ME terminals late sunday night.

Long Term...
Mostly VFR conditions expected but an area of low
pressure lurking offshore may provide some scattered showers and
lower ceilings on Monday, especially across eastern terminals.
In addition, northwesterly winds may gust up to 25 kts,
especially during the afternoon. A few upslope showers will
also be possible across northern and mountain terminals on
Monday and Tuesday. VFR conditions are then expected for
Tuesday through Thursday.

&&

.MARINE...
Short Term...Coastal low S of Nova Scotia , shifts back to the W
a bit Sunday and Sunday night, while sfc high holds to the SW.
This will allow for tightening pres gradient and increasing
winds, with SCA winds from the NW a good bet Sunday night into
Monday. There is a small chance for a short period of gales late
sunday into early Monday over the far ern waters.

Long Term...
SCA conditions expected on Monday as a retrograding
area of low pressure moves east of the waters. Scattered showers
will also be possible, especially across eastern zones.
Northwesterly winds and seas will diminish on Tuesday through
the middle of the week as the low moves east further east.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
After good RH recovery tonight, will see another dry day on
Sunday, although not quite as dry, but still on the breezy
side. Min Rh will be around 20% with wind gusts of 20-25 mph.
This will still lead to the potential for dangerous fire growth,
but remain below RFW criteria.

&&
