Area Discussion for - Caribou, ME
(on/off) Help NOTE: mouseover dotted underlined text for definition| Fxus61 kcar 191204 afdcar area forecast discussion national weather service caribou me 704 am est Mon nov 19 2018 Synopsis Weak low pressure will cross the gulf of maine today and move into the maritimes tonight. Another low will cross the gulf of maine Tuesday. Near term through tonight 7am update... Further reduced snow amounts towards the coast. Have patchy freezing drizzle in the forecast and this remains the biggest concern this morning as the moist maritime air moves over the very cold surfaces inland. Still concerned about freezing fog this evening in the penobscot river valley, but will hold off including in the forecast as there's uncertainty regarding clearing. Previous discussion... the departing arctic high leaves behind very cold air under a steep inversion that set record lows at caribou, houlton and millinocket this morning. This was the earliest zero reading ever recorded at caribou. Otherwise... A flat wave moving out of southern new england early this morning will generate warm air advection overrunning the cold in situ air mass. A baroclinic zone setting up in the gulf of maine will yield weak surface low pressure that will track just offshore today. Weak lift results in a period of snow today that could amount to about an inch in a stripe from bucksport towards calais... And maybe a half inch for bangor. Little or no snow is expected further north. There's just enough warm advection to bring temperatures above freezing in coastal hancock and washington by later this morning and ensure a changeover to rain. These coastal zones will also be where the greatest QPF is forecast... Up to a quarter inch... But much of it will be in the form of rain. There is some concern about a warm nose around h950 into southern penobscot and interior hancock washington for this afternoon. Since cold air at the surface will be locked in north of the coastal zones... This warm nose and dense moisture up to h700 could squeeze out some freezing drizzle. Not expecting any accumulations... And with temperatures close to freezing after previous snowfall... Impacts should be minimal. Further north, a new arctic front will reach northern aroostook later in the afternoon with some snow showers. This front will tend to stall out and lose its identity overnight as weak high pressure noses into the area. Have some concerns about freezing fog developing in the southern half of the forecast area tonight with any clearing. The baroclinic zone remains in the gulf of maine overnight and a much more potent upper level shortwave in the northern stream will phase with it... Leading to cyclogenesis in southern new england by the end of tonight. Short term Tuesday through Wednesday night Intensifying low pressure will track across the gulf of maine Tuesday, then exit across the maritimes Tuesday night. However, the exact track of the low is still uncertain. The low will bring accumulating snow to downeast and central portions of the forecast area Tuesday, with lesser snow chances across northern areas. Snow totals Tuesday will be dependent on the eventual track of the low. Preliminary snow estimates Tuesday are 3 to 5 inches downeast, 1 to 3 inches across central portions of the forecast area, with around an inch or less across northern areas. These values could increase or decrease dependent on the eventual track of the low. Snow will taper to snow showers in the wake of the low Tuesday night. Another low will begin to cross the region Wednesday, drawing a strong cold front across the region later Wednesday through early Wednesday night. Snow showers will occur across the region Wednesday, with snow squalls also possible in the vicinity of the cold front. Very cold air will be drawn across the region in the wake of the cold |
front Wednesday night with increasing northwest winds. Snow showers will diminish across central and downeast areas later Wednesday night, while persisting across the north and mountains. Temperatures will remain at below normal levels Tuesday Wednesday, with very cold temperatures advecting across the region Wednesday night. Wind chill readings will reach 15 to 20 below zero across northern areas later Wednesday night, with around 10 below to 15 below zero downeast. Long term Thursday through Sunday Record cold temperatures are expected across the region thanksgiving along with strong gusty northwest winds. Wind chills should remain at sub-zero levels across the north and mountains, only reaching around zero downeast. Otherwise, expect mostly cloudy skies along with a chance of snow showers across the north and mountains, with partly cloudy skies downeast during thanksgiving. Cold high pressure will begin to build across the region Friday with decreasing winds along with partly cloudy skies north, mostly clear downeast. High pressure will cross the region Saturday with partly cloudy mostly sunny skies. High pressure will exit across the maritimes Sunday, while low pressure intensifies southwest of the region. Cloud cover will increase Saturday night. A wintry mix is then expected to expand across the region later Sunday, though precipitation amounts and types remain uncertain. Record cold is expected Thursday Friday. Temperatures will begin to moderate Saturday Sunday though remain at below normal levels. Aviation 12z Monday through Friday Near term:VFR conditions at all sites will deteriorate to MVFR towards bgr and bhb this morning... And eventually to ifr in snow... Then due to CIGS and drizzle. Further north, expect MVFR cigs to develop by this afternoon. A weakening cold front may briefly drop sites north of pqi to ifr vis in snow showers this evening. Sites north of hul will probably stay MVFR through the night. Further south, ifr CIGS will eventually lift to MVFR later tonight. Short term: MVFR conditions are possible across northern areas Tuesday through early Tuesday night, with ifr lifr conditions downeast. Occasional MVFR conditions will remain possible across the north and mountains later Tuesday night withVFR conditions developing downeast. Variable conditions will occur across the region Wednesday with snow showers and possible snow squalls. MVFR, with local ifr, conditions are expected across the north and mountains Wednesday night withVFR conditions developing downeast. Occasional MVFR conditions will remain possible across the north and mountains during thanksgiving, with generallyVFR conditions downeast.VFR conditions are expected across the entire region Friday. Northwest winds will increase in the wake of a strong cold front Wednesday night. Strong gusty northwest winds are expected across the entire region during thanksgiving. Marine Near term: rain and snow are expected today... Along with areas of drizzle that will reduce visibility. Winds will be light and seas are expected to remain at 2 feet or less. Short term: small craft advisory conditions are expected Tuesday through Wednesday. Gale conditions will then develop in the wake of a strong cold front Wednesday night. Visibilities will be reduced in rain snow Tuesday into Tuesday night, with a chance of snow showers Wednesday afternoon into Wednesday night. Car watches warnings advisories Me... None. Marine...
