AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAY ME
311 AM EST THU FEB 25 2010
.SYNOPSIS...
...3 DAY STORM RAINFALL TOTALS WILL RUN 3 TO 6 INCHES...WITH LOCALLY
HIGHER AMOUNTS...
ANOTHER MID ATLANTIC STORM WILL RACE UP THE COAST TODAY...THEN
RAPIDLY INTENSIFY AS IT PARKS ITSELF OVER THE REGION INTO THE
WEEKEND. THE STORM WEAKENS THROUGH THE WEEKEND BEFORE FINALLY
MOVING EASTWARD SUNDAY NIGHT. A TRAILING TROUGH IS LEFT IN ITS
WAKE ON MONDAY...AND MOVES SOUTH OF THE REGION ON TUESDAY.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TODAY/...
MODERATE RAIN CONTINUES OVER MUCH OF SOUTHERN AND COASTAL AREAS
EARLY THIS MORNING WITH A STRIPE OF MIXED PRECIPITATION FROM
FRYEBURG TO NORTH AND WEST OF AUGUSTA...WITH SNOW WELL NORTH AND
WEST OF THE MIXED PRECIPITATION. EXPECT PRECIPITATION TO CONTINUE
THROUGH THE DAY. PTYPE IS A BIT PROBLEMATIC...AS LOOKS LIKE IT WILL
REMAIN ELEVATION DEPENDENT. WAS CONSIDERING WHAT TO DO WITH CURRENT
WARNING AND AM ON THE FENCE. DEFINITELY HARD PRESSED TO KEEP IT BASED
ON WHAT HAPPENS IN LOWER ELEVATIONS OF CT RIVER VALLEY...AND MIGHT
HAVE HARD TIME VERIFYING IT EVEN AT HIGHER ELEVATIONS. DON'T WANT
TO DROP IT ONLY TO HAVE TO RE-ISSUE LATER DEPENDING ON WHAT 12Z
RUN SHOWS. IT'S IN PLACE SO WILL RELUCTANTLY HOLD ONTO IT FOR NOW.
WILL ALSO BE HOLDING ON TO CURRENT HIGH WIND WARNINGS AND WILL BE
ADDING WIND ADVISORIES TO THE REST OF THE FORECAST AREA.
&&
.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT/...
HEAVIEST OF THE QPF CONTINUES THROUGH THIS EVENING...THEN BEGINS
TO TAPER OFF FROM SOUTHWEST TO NORTHEAST BETWEEN MIDNIGHT AND
SUNRISE. USED A BLEND OF MAV/MET/CURRENT FORECAST FOR TEMPS/WINDS
AND BLEND OF MAV/CURRENT FORECAST FOR POPS.
&&
.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
BIGGEST THREAT CONTINUES TO BE FRESH AND SALT WATER
FLOODING...WITH SNOW ACROSS THE HIGH TERRAIN ON FRIDAY (SEE HYDRO
AND COASTAL FLOOD SECTIONS BELOW FOR DETAILS). DRY SLOT WILL BE
SITUATED OVER THE REGION FRIDAY...HOWEVER...LOW LEVEL MOISTURE
WILL CONTINUE TO RUSH IN FROM THE BRINK. DRY SLOT WILL GRADUALLY
FILL IN FRIDAY NIGHT AS COLDER AIR ADVECTS INTO THE REGION (FROM
THE SOUTH)...AND IS DYNAMICALLY PRODUCED.
AMOUNT OF SNOW SHOWER ACTIVITY AND PERIODS OF SNOW ON SATURDAY
WILL BE DETERMINED BY THE EXACT PLACEMENT OF THE SURFACE LOW AND
SYSTEM ALOFT. ACCUMULATING SNOWS TO CONTINUE FOR THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINS
WHERE TOTALS WILL BE PILING UP.
NEAR MISS STORM ON MONDAY WILL KEEP THINGS BUSY. WILL CONTINUE TO
MONITOR PATH OF THIS SYSTEM.
REST OF NEXT WEEK WILL BE MUCH MORE QUIETER AS HIGH PRESSURE
SETTLES SOUTH FROM CANADA.
&&
.AVIATION /07Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
SHORT TERM...IFR CONDITIONS THROUGH TONIGHT WITH GUSTY EASTERLY WINDS.
LONG TERM...LIFR AND IFR CONDITIONS FRIDAY INTO
SATURDAY...GRADUALLY IMPROVING BY SUNDAY.
&&
.MARINE...
SHORT TERM...STORM WARNING TODAY INTO TONIGHT.
LONG TERM...WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO GRADUALLY SUBSIDE ON
FRIDAY...HOWEVER SEAS WILL CONTINUE TO BE RELATIVELY HIGH. NEAR
MISS WITH STORM ON MONDAY WELL OFF THE COAST MAY KEEP THE WAVES UP
FOR ANOTHER DAY OR TWO NEXT WEEK.
&&
.HYDROLOGY...
...POTENTIALLY SIGNIFICANT HYDRO EVENT UNFOLDING FOR NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND...
MOISTURE CONTINUES TO FEED QUICLY OFF THE BRINK (GULF OF MAINE).
UPSLOPE FLOW ADDING TO THE PRECIPITATION AS THE TROPICAL MOISTURE
SOURCE HEADS QUICKLY TO THE NW. EXPECT 3 DAY RAINFALL TOTALS
(WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY) TO BE IN THE 3 TO 6 INCHES RANGE...WITH
LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS. IF THIS OCCURS...LOW LYING...STREAM AND
MAINSTEM RIVER FLOODING WOULD RESULT.
AS OF THE EARLY MORNING HOURS ON THURSDAY...HIGHEST RAINFALL
TOTALS HAVE FALLEN ACROSS SOUTHERN INTERIOR MAINE WHERE ISOLATED
TOTALS ARE ALREADY APPROACHING 2 INCHES. WATCHING THE PRESUMPSCOT
RIVER IN WESTBROOK...WHICH IS ALREADY WELL ON ITS WAY CLIMBING
TOWARDS ITS FLOOD STAGE.
&&
.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
...SIGNFICANT SPLASH-OVER EVENT WITH LOCALIZED FLOODING EXPECTED BY
THIS EVENING...
THE COASTAL FLOOD NOMOGRAM IS INDICATING A SPLASH-OVER POTENTIAL
FOR THIS MORNING AND MORE SO THIS EVENING...DESPITE BEING AT A
VERY LOW POINT IN THE ASTRONOMICAL TIDE CYCLE! WHEN THE SWAN MODEL
WAVE FORECAST IS USED WITH A STORM SURGE HIGHER THAN THE MODEST
GFS STORM SURGE FORECAST...SIGNIFICANT SPLASH-OVER AND SOME
COASTAL FLOODING BECOMES MORE LIKELY BY THIS EVENING. EXPECT A
SIGNIFICANT SLOSHING EVENT...WITH EAST TO NORTHEAST FACING BEACHES
SOUTH OF PORTLAND TO TAKE THE BRUNT OF THE WAVE ACTION. THIS WILL
BE A PROLONGED EVENT...CONTINUING INTO FRIDAY...CAUSING
SIGNIFICANT BEACH EROSION.
THE STORM SURGE THIS EVENING MAY RUN AROUND 2.5 FEET OR HIGHER.
THIS DEPENDS ON THE EXACT TIMING OF THE HIGHEST STORM FORCE WINDS.
A STORM SURGE OF 2.7 FEET WOULD PLACE THIS DATE AS PORTLAND'S 17
HIGHEST STORM SURGE ON RECORD...MATCHING THE PATRIOT'S DAY STORM
SURGE OF APRIL 2007 (PLEASE NOTE THAT THE PATRIOT'S DAY STORM
BEGAN WITH A MUCH HIGHER ASTRONOMICAL TIDE HOWEVER).
SIGNIFICANT FRESH WATER RUNOFF NEAR ESTUARIES AND RIVERMOUTHS SUCH
AS THE SACO RIVER WILL ONLY AGGRAVATE SPLASH-OVER AND COASTAL
FLOOD ISSUES.
ON FRIDAY...ASTRONOMICAL TIDES WILL OFFSET THE SLIGHTLY
DIMINISHING WINDS AND WAVES. THIS MAY SWITCH SOME OF THE FLOOD
THREAT TO LOW LYING AREAS SUCH AS THE BACKWATER REGION IN HAMPTON.
ASTRONOMICAL TIDES WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE INTO THIS WEEKEND.
AGAIN...THIS WILL BE A PROLONGED EVENT.
