The episode as NWS GYX wrote it up.
Strong coastal low pressure produced 3 to 5 inches of rain resulting in county wide flooding of small rivers and streams across portions of southern Maine. Road washouts were numerous with moderate to major damage occurring to roadways. Homes and businesses were also flooded. Total damages across 4 counties in southern Maine amounted to almost a million and a half dollars.
The local office's own words before the first event, 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 the first event at Feb 25, 9:42 AM EST, 3 hours 18 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAY ME
942 AM EST THU FEB 25 2010
.SYNOPSIS...
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 /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
THE GRIDDED AND TEXT FORECAST HAVE BEEN UPDATED TO ACCOUNT FOR
TRENDS IN PRECIPITATION.
SNOWFALL IS DEFINITELY ELEVATION DEPENDENT THIS MORNING. THE
FREEZING LEVEL ON THE 1200 UTC GYX SOUNDING WAS ABOUT 1800
FEET...BUT THIS IS APPARENTLY SLOPING NORTH. GETTING REPORTS OF
SNOW JUST TO THE NORTH OF THE OFFICE...AND BASED ON SPOTTER AND
COOP REPORTS ADDED SOUTHERN FRANKLIN AND SOUTHERN SOMERSET TO THE
WARNING.
ALSO SEEING SNOW ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE CONNECTICUT RIVER
VALLEY...AS SPOTTERS IN SULLIVAN COUNTY INDICATE SNOW FALLING
(THOUGH RADAR IS NOT SHOWING MUCH). HAD A SPOTTER REPORT OF 24
INCHES IN EAST LEMPSTER.
THE BAND OF RAIN ACROSS THE EASTERN ZONES IS SLOWING LIFT NORTHEAST...
AND THIS BAND OF RAIN PRODUCED BETWEEN 2 AND 3 INCHES OVERNIGHT
ACROSS EASTERN ZONES. THIS FEED HAS A CONNECT TO MOISTURE FROM THE
MID ATLANTIC AND FURTHER SOUTH.
AWAITING THE NEXT BATCH OF RAIN APPROACHING FROM THE SOUTH IN THE
STORM WARM AIR ADVECTION AHEAD OF THE CLOSED MID LEVEL SYSTEM
OVER EASTERN OHIO THIS MORNING. WITH PORTIONS OF SOUTHERN MAINE
HAVING ALREADY SEEN BETWEEN 2 AND 3 INCHES OF RAIN...WOULD EXPECT
PROBLEMS SHORTLY AFTER THE RAIN STARTS.
FURTHER NORTH...WILL BE LOOKING AT AN ELEVATION DEPENDENT SNOW
SITUATION...WITH 1200 TO 1500 FEET BEING THE SNOW LEVEL THROUGH
THE REST OF THE DAY. FIRST LOOK AT QPF...USING ABOUT A 10 TO 1
SNOW TO LIQUID RATIO...WOULD SUGGEST HIGHER ELEVATIONS MAY SEE AN
ADDITIONAL 3 TO 6 INCHES OF SNOW TODAY.
MAY HAVE TO ADD SNOW BACK TO INTERIOR SECTIONS OF SOUTHWEST AND
CENTRAL MAINE...AND THIS WOULD BE BASED ON ELEVATIONS AS WELL. NO
HEADLINES YET...BUT WILL WATCH TRENDS AND USE SPOTTER REPORTS TO
DETERMINE THE SNOW LEVEL.
WITH REGARD TO WIND...NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES WITH THE UPDATE. WILL
HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE LONG OCCLUSION TO CROSS THE FORECAST AREA
LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND THIS EVENING. THIS SHOULD ALLOW THE MIXED
LAYER TO INCREASE ENOUGH TO ALLOW ACCESS TO 60 KNOTS OF WIND AT
THE TOP OF THE INVERSION.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 AM FRIDAY/...
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 /14Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
SHORT TERM...IFR CONDITIONS THROUGH TONIGHT WITH GUSTY EASTERLY
WINDS. WILL HAVE TO ADD LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR TO SOME OF THE
TERMINALS FOR THIS MORNING UNTIL THE GRADIENT INCREASES AND BREAK
THE LOW LEVEL INVERSION AT KLEB AND KCON.
LONG TERM...LIFR AND IFR CONDITIONS FRIDAY INTO
SATURDAY...GRADUALLY IMPROVING BY SUNDAY.
&&
.MARINE...
SHORT TERM...NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO THE FORECAST RATIONALE THIS
MORNING. THE TIGHTEST GRADIENT WAS ACROSS THE EASTERN WATERS THIS
MORNING...WITH MDRM1 SHOWING STORM FORCE GUSTS. THE GRADIENT IS
MUCH LIGHTER ACROSS SOUTHERN WATERS...AS LOW PRESSURE TAKES SHAPE
ACROSS THE MID ATLANTIC COAST.
SEAS MAY HAVE TEMPORARILY PEAKED THIS MORNING...BUT WILL COME BACK
UP AGAIN THIS AFTERNOON AS THE GRADIENT INCREASES TO THE SOUTH.
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.
&&
.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
THE MORNING TIDE CAME IN AT ABOUT 11.5 FEET IN PORTLAND...AND IT
IS ON THE WAY OUT. WILL ALLOW THE COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY TO EXPIRE
ON TIME THIS MORNING.
THE COASTAL FLOOD NOMOGRAM IS INDICATING A SIGNIFICANT SPLASH-
OVER EVENT FOR THIS 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 RIVER MOUTHS 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.
&&
.HYDROLOGY...
THE HEAVY RAIN ACROSS SOUTHERN AND CENTRAL MAINE LAST NIGHT
PRODUCED 1.50 AND 3.00 INCHES OF RAIN...WITH THE HIGHEST AMOUNTS
ACROSS THE MID COAST. THE RUNOFF HAS ALREADY ENTERED THE RIVER
SYSTEM...AND A RIVER FLOOD WARNING WAS ISSUED FOR THE PRESUMPSCOT
RIVER AT WESTBROOK. IN ADDITION...CREEKS AND STREAMS ACROSS THE
REGION ARE ALREADY NEAR BANKFULL.
BASED ON THE TRAJECTORY OF THE AIRMASS AHEAD OF THE NEXT SYSTEM...
COULD VERY WELL SEE AN ADDITION 2 TO 3 INCHES OF RAIN THIS AFTERNOON
AND TONIGHT. THIS WOULD PUSH THE 3 DAY TOTALS TO 3 TO 6 INCHES OF
RAIN...WITH HIGHER AMOUNTS POSSIBLE IN CENTRAL MAINE. THIS MUCH RAIN
WILL CAUSE PROBLEMS WITH SMALL RIVERS...CREEKS AND STREAMS...AND RESULT
IN ADDITIONAL MAINSTEM RIVER FLOODING IN SOUTHEAST NEW HAMPSHIRE.
AT THIS TIME...IT APPEARS AS THOUGH THE THE SUNCOOK RIVER AT
NORTH CHICHESTER AND THE LAMPREY RIVER AT NEWMARKET WILL BE MOST
AT RISK. THE SNOW FALLING UPSTREAM OF THE KENNEBEC MAY SLOW
FLOODING PROBLEMS THERE...BUT ICE ON THE RIVER MAY CONTRIBUTE TO
PROBLEMS.
