The episode as NWS GYX wrote it up.
Strong low pressure moved west of the forecast area on January 10th, spreading very warm moist air into the region. Temperatures soared into the 50s and 1 to 3 inches of rain fell across most of the forecast area. The combination of snow melt and rainfall caused minor flooding on the Swift River at Roxbury and on the Presumpscot River at Westbrook.
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 Jan 10, 8:08 PM EST, 22 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAY ME 808 PM EST SUN JAN 10 2016 .SYNOPSIS... DEEPENING LOW PRESSURE TRACKING TO OUR WEST WILL DRIVE A STRONG COLD FRONT THROUGH NEW ENGLAND EARLY TONIGHT. THIS FRONT WILL BE PRECEDED BY HEAVY RAIN...AS WELL AS STRONG WINDS FOR PORTIONS OF MAINE AND NEW HAMPSHIRE. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD OVER THE AREA ON MONDAY. THE NEXT STORM SYSTEM WILL LIKELY BRING A LIGHT SNOWFALL TO THE REGION TUESDAY...WITH POTENTIAL FOR MORE SIGNIFICANT IMPACTS ACROSS WESTERN MAINE. THIS SYSTEM WILL BE FOLLOWED BY FAIR WEATHER FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE WORK WEEK. && 01Z UPDATE... QUICK UPDATE TO DROP HIGH WIND WARNING AND ADVISORY HEADLINES WHICH HAVE EXPIRED. HAVE ALSO ADJUSTED TEMPS/TD'S/POPS BASED ON CURRENT RADAR TRENDS AND SUFACE OBS. EXPECT HEAVIEST OF THE RAIN TO DEPART NEW HAMPSHIRE AND WESTERN MAINE OVER THE NEXT 3 TO 4 HOURS WITH JUST A FEW SHOWERS LINGERING IN THE NORTHWEST AFTER MIDNIGHT. NO OTHER CHANGES PLANNED ATTM. PREVIOUS DISCUSSION... .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM MONDAY MORNING/... AT 19Z...A 984 MILLIBAR LOW WAS NEAR GEORGIAN BAY WITH A TRAILING OCCLUDED/COLD FRONT THROUGH EASTERN NEW YORK AND MID ATLANTIC REGION...AND A WARM FRONT STRETCHING THROUGH SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND AND THE GULF OF MAINE. STRONG ATLANTIC INFLOW...AND 90 PLUS KNOT SOUTHEAST LOW LEVEL JET WILL PRODUCE HEAVY RAINFALL ACROSS THE REGION INTO THE EVENING HOURS. AN ISOLATED RUMBLE OF THUNDER CAN'T BE RULE OUT NEXT FEW HOURS OVER EXTREME SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA AS WELL. RAINFALL TOTALS OF ONE TO TWO INCHES APPEAR LIKELY...WITH UP TO 3 INCHES ALONG FAVORED EAST FACING SLOPES. THE RECORD HIGHS AT BOTH PORTLAND AND CONCORD...50 F...SHOULD BE TIED OR BROKEN NEXT FEW HOURS AS WARM AIR CONTINUES TO STREAM INTO THE REGION. ALONG AND JUST AHEAD OF THE SURFACE COLD/OCCLUDED FRONT WE WILL SEE SEVERAL HOURS OF STRONG WINDS...WITH HIGHEST GUSTS ALONG THE COAST AND IMMEDIATELY INLAND. THE HIGHER TERRAIN ABOVE 1500 FT WILL ALSO SEE STRONG GUSTS. THE RAIN WILL QUICKLY TAPER TO SHOWERS FOLLOWING THE FRONTAL PASSAGE...WITH LEFT OVER PRECIPITATION ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN TRANSITIONING TO SNOW SHOWERS OVERNIGHT AS COLD AIR FLOODS BACK INTO THE REGION. && .SHORT TERM /6 AM MONDAY MORNING THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/... ON MONDAY...UPSLOPE FLOW AND THE LAKE EFFECT PLUME OFF OF LAKE ONTARIO WILL GENERATE A FEW SNOW SHOWERS OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN AS WELL AS THE CONNECTICUT VALLEY. ELSEWHERE...EXPECT PARTLY SUNNY SKIES WITH SCATTERED FLURRIES. IT'LL BE A BLUSTERY AND COOL DAY WITH HIGHS FROM THE UPPER 20S TO MID 30S. QUIET MONDAY NIGHT AS A WEAK RIDGE CRESTS ACROSS THE AREA. LOWS WILL RANGE FROM THE SINGLE NUMBERS IN THE MOUNTAINS TO THE TEENS ELSEWHERE. && .LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/... CONFIDENCE IS GROWING IN AT LEAST A MODERATE IMPACT SNWFL EVENT FOR PARTS OF THE AREA LATE TUE INTO WED. AS MENTIONED IN PREVIOUS DISCUSSIONS...A POTENT S/WV TROF WILL CROSS THE NORTHEAST EARLY IN THE EXTENDED. THE TROF RACING THRU THE GREAT LAKES WILL BECOME NEGATIVELY TILTED CROSSING NEW ENGLAND...LEADING TO EXPLOSIVE STRENGTHENING OF LOW PRES IN THE GULF OF ME. THE TROF PASSAGE ITSELF WILL LIKELY BRING WIDESPREAD SN SHOWERS TO THE AREA. THE RAPID DEVELOPMENT OF SFC LOW PRES COULD BRING SIGNIFICANT IMPACTS TO PARTS OF THE FORECAST AREA. AS UPPER TROF AXIS ALIGNS NW TO SE...THE SFC MAY TAKE ON A BIT OF AN INVERTED TROF LOOK NW OF DEVELOPING LOW PRES. BOUNDARY LAYER WINDS ARE FORECAST TO BE ONSHORE...TRANSPORTING MOISTURE TOWARDS THE COAST. THIS RELATIVELY HIGH THETA-E AIR BEING DRAGGED NWD HELPS DESTABILIZE THE LOW LEVELS. THEN AS MID LEVEL LIFT INCREASES WITH DEEPENING LOW PRES...THE COMBINATION OF INGREDIENTS COULD LEAD TO A SHORT DURATION...FOCUSED...INTENSE SNWFL RATE EVENT. ALL GLOBAL MODELS HAVE TRENDED TOWARDS A CONCENTRATED BAND OF PRECIP LIFTING NE ALONG THE COAST...THOUGH THEY DIFFER ON WHERE IT FORMS. FOR NOW ANYWHERE ALONG OUR COAST SHOULD KEEP AN EYE ON THE FORECAST...BUT MOST LIKELY DEVELOPMENT WOULD BE FROM PWM ON NEWD. HAVE INCREASED POP TO CATEGORICAL IN THESE AREAS...AND INCREASED QPF AND AS A RESULT OF THAT SNWFL AMOUNTS. GIVEN THE HIGH IMPACT WX TODAY...NO HEADLINES ARE PLANNED AT THIS TIME BUT A WINTER STORM WATCH IS A POSSIBILITY IN FUTURE FORECAST UPDATES. BOUNDARY LAYER MAY WARM A LITTLE TOO MUCH NEAR THE IMMEDIATE COAST...SO TOTALS ARE SLIGHTLY LOWER THERE. GIVEN THE STRENGTH OF DYNAMICS ALOFT...THIS TYPE OF SOLUTION GUIDANCE IS SHOWING SEEMS ENTIRELY PLAUSIBLE AND REASONABLE. STRONG CAA AND GUSTY WLY FLOW FOLLOW IN ITS WAKE LATE WED. UPSLOPE SN SHOWERS WILL LINGER IN THE MTNS. BEYOND MIDWEEK THE PATTERN REMAINS IN PLACE...WITH A WRN CONUS RIDGE...ERN TROF...AND ACTIVE SUBTROPICAL JET. WITH SPLIT FLOW AND PIECES OF POLAR VORTEX ENERGY PINWHEELING ACROSS THE NRN TIER...MODEL GUIDANCE IS WAFFLING QUITE A BIT RUN TO RUN. THE MORAL OF THE STORY IS THAT AS THE S/WV TROFS CROSS THE AREA SN SHOWERS WILL BE MORE LIKELY...BUT THERE REMAINS CHANCES THAT PHASING INTO A STRONGER STORM SYSTEM OR TWO OCCURS AND BRINGS A MORE WIDESPREAD PRECIP EVENT. && .AVIATION /01Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/... SHORT TERM...IFR OR LOWER CIGS/VSBYS ARE EXPECTED INTO THIS EVENING AS LOW PRESSURE AFFECTS THE REGION WITH FOG...LOW CLOUDS...AND HEAVY RAIN. SOUTHEASTERLY WINDS WILL INCREASE THROUGH EARLY EVENING...POTENTIALLY GUSTING UPWARDS OF 45 KT ON THE COAST. LLWS WILL BE AN ISSUE AS WELL WITH A SOUTHEASTERLY LOW LEVEL JET INCREASING TO NEARLY 65 KT AT 1 TO 2 KFT. WINDS DIMINISH TONIGHT AND LOW CIGS/VSBYS IMPROVE THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT. VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED MONDAY WITH GUSTY WESTERLY WINDS. LONG TERM...VFR TO BEGIN THE PERIOD GIVES WAY TO DETERIORATING CONDITIONS AS LOW PRES MOVES IN FROM THE W. LOW PRES RAPIDLY STRENGTHENS WHEN REACHING THE GULF OF ME...AND WIDESPREAD SNWFL IS EXPECTED. IFR OR LOWER CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE...AND SNWFL COULD BE HEAVY AT TIMES FOR COASTAL ME TERMINALS. WLY WINDS AROUND 25 KTS ARE EXPECTED WED...WITH IMPROVING CONDITIONS THRU THE DAY. EXCEPTION WILL BE HIE...WHERE UPSLOPE SHSN CONTINUE THRU MIDWEEK. && .MARINE... SHORT TERM...STORM WARNINGS REMAIN IN EFFECT FOR WIND GUSTS AS HIGH AS 55 KT AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT. WINDS WILL SHIFT TO SW BEHIND THE FRONT AND DIMINISH TO GALES FOR THE BALANCE OF THE NIGHT AND MONDAY...GRADUALLY DIMINISHING TO SMALL CRAFT MONDAY NIGHT. LONG TERM...RAPIDLY DEEPENING LOW PRES LATE TUE WILL BRING AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF HEADLINES TO THE WATERS. SCA CONDITIONS WILL DOMINATE THRU THE PERIOD. GALE FORCE CONDITIONS LOOK PROBABLE ON THE OUTER WATERS...BEHIND DEPARTING LOW PRES ON WED. && .HYDROLOGY... FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT. EXPECT 1 TO 2 INCHES OF RAIN OVER THE REGION. THE EAST AND SOUTHEAST FACING HIGHER TERRAIN WILL LIKELY RECEIVE AS MUCH AS 3 INCHES...WHILE DOWNSLOPING OCCURS IN THE CONNECTICUT RIVER VALLEY WITH CORRESPONDINGLY LOWER AMOUNTS. SOME SNOW MELT EXPECTED AS WELL. RIVERS WILL BE ON THE RISE DURING THIS PERIOD AND A FEW COULD REACH BANKFULL. SOME LOCALIZED URBAN AND DRAINAGE FLOODING IS ALSO POSSIBLE THROUGH THIS EVENING BECAUSE OF THE FROZEN GROUND. && .TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING... NART MATRICES SUGGEST EROSION AND SPLASH-OVER CAN BE EXPECTED FOR THE LATE EVENING TIDE ALONG THE COAST OF MAINE AND NEW HAMPSHIRE. A STATEMENT HAS BEEN ISSUED TO ADDRESS THIS. HOWEVER...THE HIGHEST WINDS AND LARGEST WAVES SHOULD ARRIVE BEFORE THIS HIGH TIDE. THEREFORE...COASTAL FLOODING (INUNDATION) IS NOT EXPECTED AT THIS TIME. LOW LYING AREAS BEHIND DUNE SYSTEMS SUCH AS CAMP ELLIS IN SACO MAY SEE SOME MINOR POOLING OF WATER DUE TO WAVE ACTION OVER THE DUNES SYSTEMS AND BARRIERS. && .GYX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... ME...FLOOD WATCH UNTIL 1 AM EST MONDAY FOR MEZ012>014-019>022. NH...FLOOD WATCH UNTIL 1 AM EST MONDAY FOR NHZ002>009. MARINE...STORM WARNING UNTIL 10 PM EST THIS EVENING FOR ANZ150>154. &&
