Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Gray ME
1019 AM EST Mon Nov 11 2024

.SYNOPSIS...
Light showers generally end early this morning except for the
mountains where they may occur on and off today. Temperatures
will be a good 10 degrees above normal today with gusty
southwesterly winds. A strong cold front crosses overnight into
Tuesday morning, again with only light amounts of rain and
snow. Northwesterly winds behind the front Tuesday will be
gusting as high as 30-40 mph. High pressure builds back into New
England Wednesday and Thursday. The next chance for meaningful
precipitation may come towards the end of the work week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
1015 AM...Adjusted POPs/sky today, just cover the current conds
ans the latest mesoscale model run. The trend of note is
slightly more sun and lower POPs outside the mountains this
afternoon.

630 AM Update...Very little change to the going forecast for
today as the forecast remains on track.

Previously...

Warm weather with gusty southwesterly winds will be the theme
today in the wake of a warm front. Dry weather is expected for
the most part except some instability showers in the mountains
that will be on and off today. There could be a rumble of
thunder in the mountains and foothills early this morning with
short wave passage but probability is too low at this time to
include in forecast.

Otherwise, highs will be a good 10 degrees above normal today
with southwesterly gusts of 20 to 30 MPH.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
A fairly strong cold front will cross the region tonight however
moisture will be limited, relegating most shower activity to the
mountains. Raised low temperatures tonight some as good mixing
should continue in the warm sector prior to a burst of CAA early
Tuesday morning. A period of snow showers is probable in the
higher elevations of the mountain zones in the wake of the
front early Tuesday.

Tuesday will be cooler, but downslope flow and weakening CAA
should allow for at least 50F on the coastal plain and across
southeastern NH. Winds will the the more noticble theme on
Tuesday as excellent mixing allows for NWLY wind gusts of 30 to
40 MPH. Some power outages possible.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
Pattern Overview: Ridging and surface high pressure over the
central CONUS will shift eastward through the first part of this
period. The ridge than begins to break down on Thursday as a
trough closes off just offshore. Our pattern will then be
dominated by this upper level low through the weekend as it
meanders over the waters before retrograding into Atlantic
Canada. A ridge briefly builds in at the tail end of the period
as one trough exits and another makes its approach.

Clear skies and diminishing winds help temperatures fall into
teens in northern zones and 20s to the south. I think many
locations hold on to just enough flow to stay mixed and not
totally decouple, but did blend in some MOS guidance to go a
hair cooler than guidance.

High pressure continues to build into the region Wednesday
keeping things clear and dry. With the colder airmass in place
we see high temperatures in the 40s again, with 30s in
mountains. A somewhat tight pressure gradient looks to linger
just to the east so another breezy day is possible with
northerly wind gusts around 15-20 mph, with some locally higher
gusts along the immediate coast and in the eastern portion of
our Maine zones. Wednesday looks like it could be the better
radiational cooling night, at least initially. High clouds will
be increasing through the night as high pressure breaks down and
upper level moisture begins to nose in. Although there is some
uncertainty in how cloud cover will ultimately effect the
radiational cooling window, I did blend in some MOS guidance
here as well to get temperatures just a couple degrees cooler
than Tuesday night. Partly cloudy skies Thursday look to keep
high temperatures similar to Wedensday. Winds will be light as
high pressure makes its exit to the north. Mostly cloudy skies
by nightfall look to keep temperatures in the 20s across the
area.

Looking ahead to Friday and the weekend, our weather pattern
may become dominated by strong vertically stacked low pressure
somewhere to our east. The Euro and Canadian model keep it close
enough to make for another potentially gusty day Friday with
westerly moving showers crossing the area through Saturday. The
GFS is currently the outlier, retrograding the low into atlantic
Canada much faster which would mean maybe just some upslope
showers in the mountains for our area. Time will tell on this.
The models do agree, at the moment anyway, on Sunday being
mostly dry as an upper level ridge briefly builds over the
region.

&&

.AVIATION /15Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
Short Term...MVFR/IFR Cigs will clear with a return to VFR by
mid morning today. The exception will be KHIE and perhaps KLEB
for a time which will hang onto MVFR cigs but could see a
period of VFR in the afternoon, before going back down to MVFR
in upslope clouds and SHRASN this evening. MVFR/IFR conditions
will start off Tuesday morning, especially in the mountains as
rain and snow showers will be concluding. South of the
mountains, conditions will quickly clear to VFR, with MVFR
ceilings holding on in the mountains. Southwesterly wind gust 20
to 30 MPH today, then turn northwesterly and gust 30 to 40 MPH
on Tuesday.

Long Term...The prevailing conditions across the area should
be VFR by Tuesday night. Northwesterly winds will be gusting 15-25
mph on Wednesday, before becoming lighter on Thursday.

&&

.MARINE...
Short Term...A SCA advisory is in effect for most zones for
today on southwesterly wind gusts around 25 kt. A strong cold
front crosses the waters tonight resulting in NW winds gusting
to around gale force Tuesday.

Long Term...Gales would diminish early Wednesday morning but
SCA conditions stay up through most of the day. Conditions will
stay below SCA criteria for Thursday and Friday as high pressure
settles over the waters.
