Fxus61 kgyx 241002 afdgyx area forecast discussion national weather service gray me 602 am edt Sat aug 24 2019 Synopsis High pressure will dominate the weather across the northeast through Tuesday. 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 late Wednesday into Thursday as low pressure moves well offshore of new england. Near term until 6 pm this evening 600 am... Minor estf update to reflect the current mesonet in near term grids. Prev disc... at 06z... A 1027 millibar high was centered just north of the great lakes. GOES imagery showed clear skies across the area at moment. Light winds and mainly clear skies will allow some patchy valley stratus and fog to develop across the forecast area through dawn. For today... A mainly sunny start then a few fair weather clouds with daytime heating and an upper trough across the area. Highs today will range from near 70 along the international border to mid and upper 70s elsewhere. Short term 6 pm this evening through 6 pm Sunday The upper trough will close off tonight... With the upper low over the mid atlantic region initially then meandering to our south through Sunday. With the exception of a few clouds... Little in the way of sensible weather is expected from this system. Meanwhile... The surface high center will be building by to our north before exiting into the maritimes. The onshore flow around the surface high could contribute to some late night fog or stratus along the coast... Especially south of casco bay. Otherwise... A partly cloudy night with some patchy valley stratus and fog once again with lows in the mid 40s to lower 50s. It'll be a partly sunny and cool day on Sunday with the

onshore flow limiting high temperatures to the upper 60s and lower 70s. Long term Sunday night through Friday Far weather is expected Sunday night through early Wednesday as high pressure ridging holds firm across the forecast area. The only rain in the forecast is late Wednesday into Thursday as a short wave trough and attendant cold front approaches from the west. There is a low probability that moisture from a potential tropical system moving well offshore of new england could get entrained into the frontal system producing a period of heavy rain. However at this time it is most likely that the two systems will remain separate. Aviation 10z Saturday through Wednesday Short term through Sunday ...VFR through the weekend except for a few hours of lifr in fog and low stratus early this morning and Sunday morning at kleb and khie. Long term... Valley fog likely Sunday night through Tuesday night withVFR conditions expected during the daytime. Conditions could lower some late Wednesday as a cold front approaches, but it will likely wait until Wednesday night. Marine Short term through Sunday ... We should stay below sca thresholds. However... The extended period of onshore flow may bring seas close to 5 ft for the outer waters south of casco bay by late Sunday along with wind gusts to 20 kt. Long term... Conditions are expected to remain below small craft thresholds Sunday night through early next week. A few higher swells may begin to arrive around Thursday. Gyx watches warnings advisories Me... None. Nh... None. Marine... None. Es

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.
