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 Gray, ME wrote its last area forecast discussion before this small craft advisory went out at Feb 12, 9:28 PM EST, 5 hours 36 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Feb 12, 9:28 PM EST, 5 hours 36 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Gray ME 928 PM EST Sat Feb 12 2022 .SYNOPSIS... A return to colder temperatures is expected behind a strong cold front tonight through Monday before moderating again by the middle of next week. An area of low pressure will track well offshore of New England on Sunday before high pressure builds near the area for the beginning and middle of next week. Another storm system may then bring rain or snow to the region late next week. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SUNDAY MORNING/... 0222Z Update... Scattered upslope snow showers over the mountains continue to weaken this evening per latest radar trends. Webcams near the Canadian border do show some flurry activity continuing despite clearing beginning to take place. We hold on to low chance pops for a few more hours before any leftover very light precipitation comes to a complete end. This shifts us focus to the south where precipitation in the form of light snow continues to slowly spread northeast into southern New England. Will continue to monitor trends in latest available guidance which suggests a light coating of snow can be expect, mainly south of a Concord NH to Portland ME line. The coast from Biddeford and points southwards through coastal Rockingham county may possibly pick up slightly more in the way of snow accumulation if new model trends continue. 2253Z Update... Much cold air continues to advect into the region on gusty west to northwest winds. Significant cold air advection will allow for H8 temperatures to drop into the -10C to -16C range by morning. There will be a relatively well mixed layer through much of the night. By morning, temperatures will be mostly in the single numbers in the north to the teens in the south. Some lower 20s remain possible over the far south. This strong cold air advection and upslope conditions will allow for snow showers for several more hours in the mountains. This is supported by the latest mesoscale models and northern webcams. Another stripe of light snow may reach southernmost areas by daybreak. Overview: A return to significantly colder temperatures is expected tonight through Monday behind a strong cold front which crossed the area today. These colder conditions will likely be accompanied by a few snow showers and even an isolated heavier snow squall, especially across the north. Another system will then pass well offshore on Sunday but may brush coastal areas with a few snow flurries or snow showers. Impacts: Temperatures will rapidly fall late this afternoon and evening, which will allow any rain showers to quickly turn to snow across the north. These snow showers combined with falling temperatures may allow for locally slick travel conditions this evening, mainly across the higher elevations and near the International Border. Forecast Details: The cold front has now cleared our coastline as of 20Z but surface observations indicate that winds are still out of the southwest across the entire area. This strong southwesterly LLJ allowed temperatures to reach the lower and middle 50s across much of the area with preliminary data showing that Portland hit 54F, which breaks the previous record of 51F set back in 1984. Satellite imagery show mostly sunny skies south of the mountains but across the mountains and near the International Border more in the way of cloud cover is present along with a few rain showers. Upstream observations across Quebec show significantly colder air with temperatures primarily into the 20s. This colder air will quickly begin to bleed into northwestern areas this evening, allowing any rain to quickly transition into snow. The latest near-term guidance continues to indicate that a few scattered snow showers are likely across the north through this evening and with steep low-level lapse rates an isolated heavier snow squall cannot be ruled out. It will remain breezy through this evening with southwest winds shifting to northwest and gusting as high as 30-35 mph at times. Later tonight any snow shower activity will end as it turns sharply colder with overnight low temperatures digging to around zero across the north to the teens and lower 20s south. It will remain breezy and therefore wind chill values may approach 10 below across the north. && .SHORT TERM /6 AM SUNDAY MORNING THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/... Cool Canadian high pressure will build to our west on Sunday as a developing area of low pressure passes well offshore to our southeast. This system will remain too far offshore for any significant impacts but a stray flurry or snow shower cannot be ruled out, mainly along the coast. It will be a much colder day with high temperatures only reaching the teens and 20s from north to south. Cold but dry conditions are then expected on Sunday night with overnight low temperatures falling to below zero across the north to the single digits and lower teens south. It will still be a little breezy due to the PGF overhead and therefore wind chills may approach 20 below across the north on Monday morning. && .LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/... Much colder conditions arrive Monday around the periphery of an intensifying ocean storm. Temperatures will only be in the teens to lower 20s for afternoon highs with wind chill values making it feel even colder. These below normal temperatures will continue into Monday night with readings below zero in the north and single numbers in the south. A warming trend then follows towards the end of the week with the possibility of ice beginning to move. Low pressure will allow for particularly mild southwesterly winds by Thursday. && .AVIATION /02Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/... Short Term...VFR cigs expected through Sunday night outside of any snow shower activity. Southwesterly winds will turn northwesterly this evening and may gust up to 35 kts at times. Long Term...MVFR conditions develop in patchy fog and developing showers Thursday through early Friday morning. && .MARINE... Short Term...SCA conditions expected through tonight as southwesterly winds turn northwesterly behind a strong cold front. Long Term...SCAs expected Monday and Monday night. A southwesterly flow may bring strong gusts to the region once again for Wednesday night through Thursday night. && .GYX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... ME...None. NH...None. MARINE...Small Craft Advisory until 4 AM EST Sunday for ANZ150>154. && NEAR/SHORT TERM...Cannon LONG TERM...Cempa
