What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this wind 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 wind advisory went out at Jan 16, 3:53 PM EST, 4 hours 23 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jan 16, 3:53 PM EST, 4 hours 23 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Gray ME
353 PM EST Sun Jan 16 2022

.SYNOPSIS...
Low pressure tracking northward through the Appalachians will
intensify as it tracks near New England on Monday. It will bring
a period of heavy snow changing to rain as the temperature
warms. Strong winds are also expected, especially along the
coast. Low pressure pulls away Monday night with colder air
moving in for the middle of the week. A weak system passes by to
our north Wednesday and Thursday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /TONIGHT/...
High pressure pulls away to the east tonight while low pressure
tracks north through the Appalachians. With a clear sky to start
the night, we may see some decent drops in temperature before
cloud cover comes in and blankets the area. Winds become
easterly by morning in advance of the incoming low pressure
system. Precipitation will likely begin by dawn for much of the
area with snow the precipitation type expected. More on the
storm in the short term section.

&&

.SHORT TERM /MONDAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
Narrow band of warm, moist air being pulled into the low
pressure system will translate northeast across our forecast
area during the morning hours on Monday. A strong low level jet
will be adding fuel to the system to produce heavy precipitation
rates over the period of 4 to 8 hours. At the surface, the very
cold air mass we've been dealing with the last few days will be
hard to shove away by the less dense warm air. The easterly low
level flow and inverted low level thermal profile will promote
damming east of the mountains and the formation of a coastal
front between this colder air and the more maritime air being
pulled in off the Atlantic. The strong surge of moisture into
this coastal front will likely be the source of the most
intense precipitation through the morning, with the coastal
front making progress inland with time. Thus we will see a
transition from heavy snow to rain as the coastal front marches
inland, with the precipitation itself ending rather quickly as
as the dry slot moves in aloft. We could see a period of drizzle
or freezing drizzle (depending on the temperature in each
location) after the dry slot moves through, although it should
be rather insignificant compared to the heavier precipitation
that falls just ahead of it.

Behind the coastal front, the low levels will be less inverted
allowing greater access to the extreme low level jet above, thus
bringing the threat for some high winds. This threat will be
greatest at the immediate coastline, but stronger wind gusts
will be possible further inland as well once the coastal front
arrives. Current High Wind Warning covers this threat well and
will continue.

As for the snowfall itself, I think the biggest factor here is
the intense snowfall rates expected as the surge of moisture
slams into the coastal front. Snowfall rates of 1 to 3 inches
per hour are likely which is enough to overwhelm road clearing
operations and create more difficult driving conditions than
usual. As a result, we were a bit more liberal than normal in
placing Winter Storm Warnings as these heavy snowfall rates will
create very difficult driving conditions for a period of a few
hours Monday morning, even if the total snowfall is a bit less
than 6 inches. The change over to rain on top of the snow will
also make for more slippery conditions as well. The total
snowfall amounts themselves are still somewhat uncertain
considering the complication of heavy snowfall rates and an
advancing coastal front which moves the rain/snow line. This is
particularly true in coastal areas including the Portland metro
which could see several inches pile up quickly if cold air holds
on, or on the other extreme it could just start as rain.

As the warm front lifts northward, winds become southerly and
weaken, while temperatures warm into the 30s and 40s. The warm
front clears the forecast area by mid afternoon, and
precipitation south of this front should be mainly in the form
of drizzle if it occurs. Colder air wraps in behind the low
Monday night, with an area of lift potentially wrapping around
for some more light snow before ending, mainly in the mountains.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Very cold and windy conditions will occur Tuesday around the
periphery of the departing storm system. This could aggravate
and potential power outage issues as wind chill values lower
with time. Otherwise dry conditions through Tuesday night with
wind chill values running from zero to 25 below during the
nighttime period.

12Z operational guidance and model ensembles remain in
relatively good agreement bringing an area of low pressure up
the Saint Lawrence Seaway Wednesday into Thursday. The highest
chance for snowfall will be over northern areas where light
accumulations of snow can be expected.

A cold, Canadian high pressure system will build into the region
Friday. Temperatures by Saturday morning will remain below zero
across most of the region away from the coast.

Low pressure may move up the Eastern Seaboard next weekend,
however there is little agreement amongst the operational or
ensemble solutions. The Canadian model is the outlier at this
time, bringing a storm near the 40N/70W benchmark Saturday
night.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
Short Term...VFR conditions transition to MVFR and IFR by
morning as a frontal system arrives. Expect a period of heavy
snow transitioning to rain for southern NH and coastal ME.
Strong ESE winds are likely at the coast, with even stronger
winds aloft leading to low level wind shear. This all only lasts
about 4 to 8 hours before winds become lighter out of the south
and precipitation lightens up and ends.

Long Term...Mainly VFR conditions Tuesday, but with windy
conditions continuing. Pockets of MVFR conditions Wednesday and
Wednesday night in any periods of light snow or snow showers.
Otherwise, VFR conditions Thursday and into the weekend.

&&

.MARINE...
Short Term...Easterly flow increases ahead of a warm front
lifting northward attached to a strong surface low tracking to
our west. Winds ramp up quickly in a narrow 4 to 8 hour window
Monday morning with gusts to Storm Force expected. Some gusts to
Hurricane Force are also possible especially across the eastern
Gulf of Maine. Winds shift to the SSW and weaken behind the
warm front around midday. Eventually a shift to westerly flow in
cold advection begins late Monday night.

Long Term...Gale force winds are expected on Tuesday and Tuesday
night around the periphery of the departing storm system.
Winds remain strong with SCA conditions possible Wednesday into
Wednesday night as winds back to the west and southwest.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
Heavy rain is expected on the coast after a short period of snow
Monday. With frozen ground in place, urban flooding will be
possible as 1-2 inches of rain is expected.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
The strongest winds of our upcoming storm match up closely with
the time of high tide. Still expect a 2-3 foot storm surge
during the mid to late morning high tide on Monday using a blend
of the latest ESTOFS and ETSS runs. Storm force winds will allow
for 20+ foot waves to develop offshore as well as the nearshore
environment. Therefore, beach erosion and splash-over may be
significant in some areas, especially coastal Cumberland,
Coastal York and Coastal Rockingham counties where Coastal Flood
Warnings have been issued.
