SYNOPSIS
High pressure slides south of the area tonight and Tuesday for warmer and dry conditions. Low pressure approaches the region Wednesday bringing the next chance for rain. High pressure then builds in towards the end of the week. A warming trend can be expected over the weekend with chance of showers.

NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM TUESDAY MORNING/
1020 PM...The rad cooling is allowing for stark temps differences across small areas, but that is to be expected.
Tried adjusting to temps to match as much as possible. Overall mins not changed that much.

740 PM...No significant changes to forecast given that sfc high is passing just our S and winds are diminishing. This should make for an very good rad cooling night, at least as far as about 10 hours of night will bring. Still low Tds and cooler highs will help out. For the most part, mins look to be in the low to mid 20s in the mtns, to around 30 in S NH and on the ME coast. But those places that decouple well could be 5 or more degrees colder.

Previously...Breezy conditions die off this evening as high pressure crests across New England overnight tonight. A cool and dry night is in store as strong radiational cooling conditions set up. Temps drop into the 20s overnight across most inland locations, with lows near 30 along the immediate coast and southern New Hampshire. Otherwise, a quiet night is expected with no precip across the forecast area.

SHORT TERM /6 AM TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH WEDNESDAY/
Winds turn more southerly tomorrow as high pressure moves east of the area, helping to usher in some warmer and more moist air.
The southerly flow keeps temps cooler across much of Maine, with highs ranging from the low 50s along the immediate coast to near 60 through the foothills. Through New Hampshire, temps warm into the 60s across most locations, with southern locations and the Connecticut River Valley warming into the mid 60s.
While more moist air moves into Maine, conditions will be dry across NH again tomorrow, with dry and breezy conditions leading to a heightened fire danger again tomorrow.

Clouds begin to increase ahead of an approaching cold front tomorrow night, with rain showers likely pushing into western and northern locations late tomorrow night and toward daybreak on Wednesday. Lows quickly drop into the 30s across most inland locations tomorrow evening, and then begin to slowly rise through the overnight as clouds increase and more moisture moves into the area.

LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/
A short wave trough with attendant low pressure system will move across the forecast area on Wednesday with categorical PoPs but with rainfall amounts generally one quarter inch or less. The rain likely end as snow showers in the mountains.

Thereafter, high pressure settles over northern New England starting thursday and lingers Friday before moving offshore Friday night. Despite plentiful sunshine temperatures will struggle to get to average.

The deep layer ridging breaks down and moves eastward over the weekend allow for a renewed chance of showers and perhaps a few thunderstorms.

AVIATION /03Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/
Short Term...VFR conditions prevail through tomorrow evening across all terminals. Ceilings then lower tomorrow night, with some MVFR ceilings possible and showers likely across western terminals by daybreak on Wednesday.

Long Term...Mainly VFR Thu-Fri. Wed looks to average MVFR with showers.

MARINE
Short Term...High pressure crosses the waters tonight. Winds turn southerly tomorrow as the high moves away, with a period of SCA conditions likely across the southern waters tomorrow afternoon with wind gusts up to 30kts. Winds ease with southerly flow continuing ahead of an approaching cold front tomorrow night.

Long Term...Low pressure will move over the waters on Wednesday.
As winds turn NW late in the day or evening, they will increase to SCA levels with building seas. SCA conditions last through Thursday morning. Thereafter, more tranquil conditions with high pressure Friday.

GYX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES
ME...None.
NH...None.
MARINE...Small Craft Advisory from 2 PM to 8 PM EDT Tuesday for ANZ152- 154.
