Marine Weather and Tides
Version 3.4 |
12/16/2019 NOAA is having trouble with requests that include wind gusts. I am posting graphs without wind gusts until it gets fixed. 10/9/2019 Updated the Marine Zones. 9/4/2019 Fixed the weather maps due to NOAA moving them. 7/25/2019 New feature in the Airports section gives a link to 5 minute updates for data reports. |

Area Forecast Discussion . UPDATED National Weather Service Gray ME 1126 PM EDT Sat Jul 11 2020
SYNOPSIS. A trough of low pressure will trigger scattered showers and thunderstorms this evening. Another trough will approach the region from the west on Sunday, triggering more scattered showers and thunderstorms, mainly during the afternoon hours. This system will remain over New England for the beginning of next week, allowing for scattered showers and storms.
NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SUNDAY MORNING/. Update . Minor changes to account for latest observational trends.
Prev Disc . There will be a moderate rip current risk early this evening along the Maine and New Hampshire beaches.
It will continue to be a very warm and humid evening across the region, especially over southern New Hampshire where overnight lows will be above 70 degrees. Scattered showers and thunderstorms will continue, some with heavy downpours as we remain in near record high precipitable water values for today. A short wave trough will approach from the west, briefly enhancing convection for a period this evening as heights begin to fall aloft.
Thereafter, a few showers and storms will still cross the region, but not as widespread during the late night hours. Greatest chance for strong gusty winds will be over New Hampshire and far western interior Maine where CAPE values will top 1500 J/KG.
Fog will develop once again tonight. Not entirely sure if it will be quite as widespread as last night as winds are gradually backing slightly to the southwest just above the surface with time. However, we may need dense fog advisories for the Midcoast region once again as Rockland already down to a half mile in fog at times.
SHORT TERM /6 AM SUNDAY MORNING THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/. It will be very warm and humid again on Sunday, with apparent temperatures running very high, especially over southern New Hampshire. Scattered showers and thunderstorms can be expected once again as a trough of low pressure remains to our west. A cold front will cross the region during the midday hours as well aiding in convective development and allowing perhaps slightly less humid air to advect into the region late in the day.
The convection will diminish Sunday evening. It will be more comfortable with overnight lows dropping into the 60s across the region.
LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/. The active upper level wave pattern continues through the coming work week with a few chances for showers and afternoon storms. Low amplitude flow lends to relatively low confidence when timing out crossing disturbances, especially during the second half of the week when larger synoptic-scale model disagreement comes in. Long-range models continue to diverge beyond midweek, disagreeing on the building and subsequent erosion of ridging. Overall am expecting an unsettled start and end to the week with showers and afternoon storms, punctuated by mid-week ridging. Temperatures will generally run in the 70s and 80s, moderated by seabreezes and periods of onshore flow along the coast.
Starting Monday . upper air charts show a positively tilted trough axis extending from eastern Canada down into the Great Lake region with a stalled surface front around the coastal plain of New England. A vort max/remnant shortwave on the downstream portion of the trough crosses the region during the afternoon with models showing a wave developing along the leftover surface boundary. Expect a moderate rainfall threat in showers, locally enhanced by convection . for storms, models are not very enthusiastic about sfc heating being enough to overcome somewhat weak mid-level lapse rates. However wind fields may still be favorable for organization should pockets of stronger instability develop. The best (still outside) chances for strong storms exist over southern New Hampshire where favorable surface heating may occur. Showers decrease overnight, and increase again Tuesday as the main trough axis crosses the region. Favorable mixing conditions in cold advection Tuesday means a nice northwesterly breeze forms with high bases in any showers that do form.
Ridging builds midweek behind the departing northern stream trough ushering in a drier period and eventually a warming and moistening trend as riding crosses the region. Look for temperatures around normal Wednesday to trend up into the 80s to near 90 by the weekend. Meanwhile upstream, Pacific energy surges into the PACNW/BC mid-week . models diverge in handling this energy, specifically with resulting shortwaves and PoPs locally. Thursday or Friday should see PoPs return.
AVIATION /04Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/. Short Term . IFR conditions in scattered showers and thunderstorms this evening. Areas of fog overnight, perhaps not as widespread as last night as winds continue to gradually back with time. LIFR conditions expected in the fog.
Long Term . VFR prevails for the most part with possible restrictions in SHRA Monday and Tuesday with TSRA possibly impacting southern NH/ME terminals on Monday. RKD may again see restrictions in BR/FG Monday night as well.
MARINE. Short Term . SCAs remain in effect. Waves will continue to run in the 4 to 6 foot range with winds gusting out of the south up to 25 kt. Marine fog may lower visibilities tonight, mainly over eastern areas.
Long Term . Waves gradually fall below 5 ft from west to east Monday over the waters. Another period of SCAs is possible toward the end of the work week with a crossing wave, however little confidence exists in timing this system.
HYDROLOGY. We continue to monitor convective development in a deeply rich, tropical environment. Cells continue to propagate rather quickly, but any training could lead to locally heavy rainfall.
There has been some response to the upper reaches of the Saco river due to upslope rains from earlier in the day, however so far, no significant rises.
GYX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES. ME . Dense Fog Advisory until 9 AM EDT Sunday for MEZ022-025>028. NH . None. MARINE . Small Craft Advisory until 5 PM EDT Sunday for ANZ150>154.
