Fxus61 kgyx 240112 afdgyx area forecast discussion national weather service gray me 912 pm edt Fri aug 23 2019 Synopsis High pressure will dominate weather across the northeast tonight through Tuesday of next week. Temperatures will be slightly below normal through the period with a slight warm up by Tuesday. A slow moving cold front will bring a period of wet weather for Wednesday and Thursday. Near term through Saturday 910pm update... Continued quiet night in northern new england. Mid and upper level cloud deck has started to thin out. Radiational cooling getting going well. Northern locations have already dropped into the lower to mid 50s. No significant changes expected. 625pm update... Fairly quiet night in store for northern new england. The forecast package is mostly in pretty good shape. There is a bit more upper level cloudiness than previously expected, but that looks like it should be clearing out over the next hour or two. After that, mostly clear skies will prevail with areas of radiational fog developing in favored locations. Previously... high pressure over the great lakes will build into the region overnight. Mainly clear skies and light winds will allow for good radiational cooling leading to some fog and low stratus to form in valley locations towards morning. Low temperatures will drop into the 40s across northern areas and into the low to mid 50s across the coastal plain. Short term Saturday night Saturday will be a nice day as the center of the surface high crests over northern maine. Aloft there will be an upper level low breaking off a 500 mb trough swinging through the canadian maritimes. This will allow for cumulus clouds to form during day Saturday with daytime heating. Winds will be out of the north and will shift onshore Saturday afternoon with high temperatures in 70s. Saturday night will be cool with temperatures dropping into the mid 40s to mid 50s along with fog possible again in valley locations. Long term Sunday through Friday High pressure will dominate weather across the northeast for a good portion of the extended forecast... high pressure situated to the east of the forecast area will produce an onshore flow to the south of the forecast area and expect some of this low level moisture to wrap around to the west and north especially during the morning hours. Looking for a mix of Sun and clouds across most of the region with a little more in the way of clouds in the connecticut valley. Looking for fairly uniform temperatures across the forecast area with much of the region topping

out in the lower 70s. High pressure will build in from the northeast Sunday night suppressing the onshore flow well south of new england. Expect lingering clouds to gradually clear overnight allowing for good radiational cooling. Lows temps will range from the mid 40s north to near 50 south. Monday will feature abundant Sun and temperatures once again in the lower 70s for most of the region. Clear skies continue Monday night with lows similar to Sunday night. High pressure will produce one more nice day on Tuesday with mostly sunny skies and slightly warmer temperatures. Highs will top out in the lower to mid 70s. High pressure will shift east Tuesday night as a cold front approaches from the west. Looking for increasing clouds in western zones after midnight and a chance of showers in the connecticut valley toward daybreak. Lows will generally range through the 50s. Cold front will slow on Wednesday as flow aloft becomes parallel to the front. Looking for increasing clouds through the day in eastern zones and mostly cloudy skies and occasional showers in western zones. Highs will range through the 70s to near 80. Cold front will slowly push into the region from the west with most of the forecast area seeing rain overnight. Lows will range from the mid 50s to lower 60s. Cold front will continue to make very slow eastward progress on Thursday with rain gradually moving out of new hampshire during the day and continuing into thurday evening in western maine. Highs will range from the mid 70s north to the mid 80s south.

These are not intended to be fact, they are my opinions. 4) Small programs that generate result presented on a web page. Like any computer program, these may and in some cases do have errors. Almost all of these also make simplifying assumptions so they are not totally accurate even if there are no errors. Please verify all results. 5) Weather information is from numerious of sources and is presented automatically. It is not checked for accuracy either by anyone at L-36.com or by the source which is typically the US Government. See the NOAA web site for their disclaimer. Finally, tide and current data on this site is from 2007 and 2008 data bases, which may contain even older data. Changes in harbors due to building or dredging change tides and currents and for that reason many of the locations presented are no longer supported by newer data bases. For example, there is very little tidal current data in newer data bases so current data is likely wrong to some extent. This data is NOT FOR NAVIGATION. See the XTide disclaimer for details. In addition, tide and current are influenced by storms, river flow, and other factors beyond the ability of any predictive program.
