Synopsis for stonington me to merrimack river ma out to 25 nm.. Gusty offshore winds continue today as yet another cold front crosses the waters. High pressure will slowly build into the area over the weekend, allowing winds to gradually diminish. High pressure crests overhead on Monday as it shifts south through the week. This will set up a prolonged period of southwesterly flow over the waters through the end of next week.

Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Gray ME 655 AM EST Fri Mar 5 2021
SYNOPSIS. Cool and breezy conditions continue today into Saturday with winds gradually weakening by Saturday night. High pressure builds into the region Sunday and Monday before a significant warming trend develops next week. No significant rain or snow events are expected through the middle of next week.
NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/. 655 AM Update . Have made only minor changes to near term temperature and sky forecast to capture latest observed trends. Winds have remained gusty this morning and will remain so through today. Have also fine tuned PoPs for snow showers in the mountains. A pulse of energy will move through this afternoon leading to more persistent snow shower activity this afternoon.
Previous Discussion .
Low pressure over the Canadian Maritimes this morning will retrograde some today and gradually weaken through Saturday. The gradient over the area will remain strong today along with a well mixed boundary layer leading to another cold breezy day. Winds at the top of the boundary layer will be weaker than this past evening so not expecting winds to quite as strong today. Peak wind gusts should top out around 30 MPH late this morning into early afternoon with a weakening trend this evening.
The combination of winds and cold air in the region will allow for winds chills near -20F along the International Border and in the mountains to single digits above zero near the coast this morning. Highs this afternoon will range from near 10 degrees north to upper 20s south and with continued breezy winds, wind chills will remain below zero north and teens south. Cyclonic flow aloft will keep chances for upslope snow showers going across the north today into Saturday morning with the higher summits in the White Mountains picking up a few inches by Saturday. Tonight will be quite cold with lows below zero north to near 10 degrees south.
SHORT TERM /SATURDAY/. Low pressure to our northeast gradually weakens Saturday as well as the gradient over the area. Winds will remain elevated enough for another cold morning with wind chills ranging from well below zero north to the single digits near the coast. Winds will continue their weakening trend with peak gusts Saturday generally around 20 MPH. Despite ample sunshine south of the mountains highs will be below normal ranging from the teens north to upper 20s.
LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/. Overview . Southeast ridging tries to build into the Northeast while a series of S/WV trofs tries to knock it down. The battle between winter and spring looks to continue thru the week.
Impacts . A warm up . albeit brief . will continue the melt out across the area. With no major QPF events in that horizon though the impacts should be fairly minor if there is any at all.
Forecast Details . There is little to talk about for much of the extended. Ensemble guidance is bearish on just about any QPF let alone significant QPF thru the end of the next work week. The best chance for precip will be as cold front slowly works towards the area late in the week . and confidence is quite low in position and timing of this feature.
Most notably model guidance is hinting at a warm up for the latter half of next week. Southeast ridging will build N and along with it mid level temps will become seasonably warm. Some guidance is suggesting a multi-day stretch of 50s or warmer is possible in this period. We know how this goes this time of year however . as mid level temps do not always translate to sensible wx at the surface. Despite potential flies in the ointment we should at least see several days above normal to close out the next work week.
AVIATION /12Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/. Short Term .
Long Term .
MARINE. Short Term . NW winds will gust 25 to 30 kts along the outer waters and Penobscot Bay into tonight. Winds gradually weaken through Saturday with a few gusts to to 25 kts along the outer waters. Cold air advection over the waters will bring periods of light freezing spray. Seas will generally be 5 ft or less through tonight and will subside Saturday.
Long Term . Cold front crossing the waters Sun could bring a few 25 kt gusts well outside of the bays. Otherwise a fairly quiet weekend on the coastal waters. SW flow will increase next week . though models tend to be too bullish with WAA over cold ocean. I favored a blend of the NBM and 10th percentile of the NBM wind in this period . which gives low end SCA gusts outside of the bays. That seems like a fair forecast at this range.
GYX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES. ME . None. NH . None. MARINE . Small Craft Advisory until midnight EST tonight for ANZ150>152- 154.
