AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAY ME
709 AM EST SAT JAN 16 2016
.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE INTENSIFYING OFF THE DELAWARE COAST WILL MOVE NORTHEAST
TODAY PASSING SOUTHEAST OF NEW ENGLAND TODAY AND THEN WELL OUT TO
SEA BY THIS EVENING. THIS SYSTEM WILL BRING A WINTRY MIX OF
PRECIPITATION TO THE REGION TODAY. THE BEST CHANCES FOR SEEING ALL
SNOW WILL BE AWAY FROM THE COAST AND INTO THE HIGHER TERRAIN.
ANOTHER STORM SYSTEM MAY BRING SNOW TO THE AREA ON MONDAY.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
7AM UPDATE: WIDESPREAD FREEZING DRIZZLE AT THIS TIME SO MADE SOME
ADJUSTMENTS INTO MID MORNING FOR WIDESPREAD LIGHT ICING
CONDITIONS. WELL DEVELOPED HEAVIER BANDS OF PRECIPITATION AND
DYNAMICS OF OFFSHORE SYSTEM COMING INTO PLAY IN THE NEXT FEW HOURS
SO WILL BE EXPECTING THE PTYPE TO CHANGE TO SNOW BY MID-LATE
MORNING. THE CENTER OF THE SURFACE LOW CURRENTLY NEAR 40N/70W IS
RAPIDLY INTENSIFYING SO EXPECT SOME COLD AIR TO BE DRAWN INTO
SYSTEM ON THE NORTH WINDS. CURRENT FORECAST WILL REMAIN INTACT
OTHER THAN SOME MINOR TWEAKS TO TEMPS BASED ON LATEST OBS DATA.
PREVIOUS DISCUSSION:
WILL KEEP ALL WINTER WEATHER ADVISORIES IN PLACE FOR TODAY.
THE CENTER OF INTENSIFYING LOW PRESSURE IS EAST OF DELMARVA
AND MOVING NORTHEAST. SATELLITE LOOP SHOWING A NICE COMMA HEAD
WITH COLLING TOPS DEVELOPING AND EXPANDING TO THE NORTH
ACCOMPANIED BY HEAVY PRECIPITATION SHOWN BY MOSAIC RADARS. CURRENT
QPF FORECAST SEEMS REASONABLE BASED ON LATEST TRENDS. MODELS AGREE
ON THE CENTER PASSING OVER OR JUST INSIDE THE BENCHMARK OF 40N/70W
TOWARD AFTERNOON. WITH THIS SURFACE LOW PASSING TO OUR SOUTH A LOW
LEVEL NORTH WIND SHOULD CONTINUE ALL AREAS KEEPING SURFACE TEMPS
AT OR BELOW THE FREEZING MARK EXCEPT ALONG THE IMMEDIATE COAST.
SOME WAA ALOFT WILL MAKE ITS WAY INLAND AT TIMES. MIXED PTYPES
EXPECTED ALONG THE COAST WHILE FURTHER INLAND MOSTLY ALL SNOW IS
EXPECTED. QPF AMTS HIGHEST ALONG THE COAST BUT DUE TO THE MIX
SNOWFALL AMOUNTS WILL BE KEPT LOW.
IT NEEDS TO BE NOTED A STRIPE OF HIGHER SNOWFALL AMOUNTS THAN
FORECAST MAY DEVELOP DUE TO THE TRACK/INTENSITY/NEGATIVE TILT
AND ALSO QPF OF AROUND .50 INCHES OVER INLAND AREAS FURTHER INTO
THE COLD AIR. THIS BAND MAY DEVELOP ABOUT 20-30 MILES WEST OF THE
COASTAL FRONT WHICH IS ALREADY IN PLACE JUST OFF THE MAINE COAST. THIS
WILL NEED TO BE WATCHED CLOSELY.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM SUNDAY/...
TONIGHT CLEARING TAKES PLACE AS HIGH PRESSURE BRIEFLY BUILDS
ACROSS THE AREA. SUNDAY HIGH PRESSURE QUICKLY EXITS OFF TO THE
EAST ALLOWING AN INCREASE IN CLOUDS. TEMPERATURES WILL BE NEAR
SEASONAL FOR TONIGHT AND SUNDAY.
&&
.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
SUN NIGHT ANOTHER SRN STREAM S/WV WILL INITIATE SFC LOW PRES
DEVELOPMENT OFF THE EAST COAST. HOWEVER...THIS TIME UPPER TROF
SWINGING DOWN ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES WILL LEAVE LITTLE ROOM FOR
NWD AMPLIFICATION. EVEN SO...AS LOW HEIGHTS DRIFT OVERHEAD AND LOW
PRES DEVELOPS WELL OUT TO SEA...SFC INVERTED TROF IS LIKELY TO
FORM BETWEEN THE TWO FEATURES. SN SHOWERS ARE LIKELY UNDER THE
UPPER TROF ANYWAY...BUT THE SFC INVERTED TROF MAY PROVIDE A FOCUS
FOR HEAVIER SNWFL. INVERTED TROFS ARE VERY DIFFICULT TO PIN
DOWN...ESPECIALLY AT THIS TIME RANGE...SO WILL CONTINUE WITH
LIKELY POP AND 1 TO 3 INCHES SNWFL IN THE FAVORED REGION NEAR THE
NH BORDER WHERE THESE LIKE TO SET UP.
AS UPPER TROF MOVES E OF THE AREA...GUSTY WLY FLOW SETS UP BEHIND
IT. THIS COOL...CYCLONIC FLOW WILL SUPPORT UPSLOPE SN SHOWERS NW
BUT CLEARING DOWNWIND OF THE MTNS. BEYOND EARLY NEXT WEEK...MODEL
GUIDANCE GENERALLY TRIES TO BUILD IN HIGH PRES. THE NEXT SIGNAL IS
LATE IN THE PERIOD AS THE NEXT S/WV COMES THRU THE WRN RIDGE.
STILL TOO EARLY FOR DETAILS...BUT AT THIS TIME MODELS DO AGREE ON
A SYSTEM DEVELOPING OFF THE EAST COAST.
&&
.AVIATION /12Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
SHORT TERM...IFR/LIFR CONDITIONS TODAY. CONDITIONS WILL GRADUALLY
IMPROVE TO VFR TONIGHT AND CONTINUE SUNDAY.
LONG TERM...UPPER TROF SWINGS OVERHEAD SUN NIGHT INTO MON...WHICH
SHOULD BRING A ROUND OF ENHANCED SHSN OR -SN TO THE REGION. IFR OR
LOWER CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE. WILL HAVE TO WATCH FOR CONCENTRATED
SNWFL NEAR SFC TROF AXIS...WHICH TRIES TO ALIGN NEAR THE WRN ME
COAST MON. LIFR CONDITIONS WOULD BE MOST LIKELY WITHIN THAT TROF
AXIS. GUSTY WLY FLOW AROUND 25 KTS POSSIBLE BEHIND THE DEPARTING
TROF TUE. GENERALLY VFR EXPECTED AS HIGH PRES BUILDS IN
MIDWEEK...THOUGH HIE MAY CONTINUE TO SEE UPSLOPE SHSN.
&&
.MARINE...
SHORT TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY/...WINDS AND SEAS WILL INCREASE TODAY
DUE TO THE COASTAL LOW PASSING TO THE EAST...THUS THE SCA REMAINS
IN EFFECT. THE SCA HAS BEEN TAKEN DOWN IN THE BAYS AS BOTH
WINDS/SEAS SHOULD REMAIN JUST BELOW CRITERIA. CONDITIONS DIMINISH
TONIGHT SO THE SCA WILL LIKELY BE DROPPED BY THIS EVENING.
WINDS/SEAS WILL BE LIGHT ON SUNDAY.
LONG TERM...EXTENDED BEGINS WITH UPPER TROF AXIS SWINGING THRU THE
REGION. THIS WILL BRING A PERIOD OF GUSTY WLY FLOW TO THE WATERS.
WIND GUSTS MAY REACH GALE FORCE ON THE OUTER WATERS TUE...BEFORE
GRADUALLY DIMINISHING AS HIGH PRES MOVES TOWARDS THE AREA.
