SYNOPSIS
Storm system departs through the Maritimes today. High pressure builds toward the region through Wednesday. Low pressure tracks far to the south of the region Thursday. High pressure begins to build toward the area from the west Friday.
NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/
Before daybreak...Light to at times moderate snow continues over portions of Northern and North-Central Maine. At the same time wrap around moisture continues pockets of light snow in the Central Highlands and Downeast. Strong cold air advection has taken place across the entire CWA with very icy refreeze that occurred in Eastern Washington County. Hi-Res models continue to suggest a wrap around band that is visible on KCBW radar picture is expected to continue for next several hours across Northern Maine. Have made adjustments to the ongoing Winter Storm Warning with some areas have been allowed to be cancelled since precip is much lighter or has ended outright or more shower activity. Elsewhere, Winter Storm Warning remains for the ongoing light precipitation and very slippery travel conditions.
Today, the powerful storm system is lifting into the Maritimes and continues to deepen. High pressure building in from the upper Midwest will increase the pressure gradient over Maine this morning. Westerly winds will rapidly increase and gust 40-50mph at times this afternoon and cannot rule out some gusts up to 55mph. Going to wait one more update to figure out potential wind headlines since we have ongoing winter headlines.
These winds are going to create dangerous blowing snow across portions of Aroostook and Northern Penobscot County. The blowing snow will become a problem across the agricultural open areas of Aroostook and Northern Penobscot Counties by mid morning. Be prepared for localized whiteouts with near zero visibility creating extremely dangerous driving conditions. Potentially impacted roads include but not limited to...Routes 1, 1A, 2, 10, 11, 89, 161, 163, 167 and 212. For now keeping the Winter Storm Warning across these areas to address the blowing snow concerns after the current precipitation ends. Combination of falling snow and blowing snow may make this event worse than the previous blowing snow event last week. Blowing snow will be very present on the ponds/lakes today making for near zero visibility. This is extremely dangerous with the risk of pressure ridges and other obstacles on the ice. Snowmobiles and ice fishing recreation need to take note of the dangerous conditions today.
Otherwise, Downeast and Central Highlands expecting a partly sunny day and cannot rule out a few flurries or snow showers this afternoon but nothing widespread. Temperatures wont recover much today with strong CAA and clouds but expecting highs in the teens for Bangor to the coast and points NE up along I-95 then north to the St. John Valley. Cold spots will be upper single digits to low teens in the Moosehead Region and North Woods.
Tonight, blowing snow will continue in the open areas with strong gusty winds but expecting slight weakening in the winds.
Air temperatures will tank and many locations will be zero to 5 below zero from the Central Highlands/Bangor Region points northward. Temperatures near 5 above for the Downeast Coast but the valleys Downeast could drop below zero too. Cold temperatures combined with the gusty W winds will result in very chilly wind chills across the area. Dangerous wind chills of -33F to -25F will be likely across Moosehead Region, North Woods, St. John Valley and Northeast Aroostook County.
Elsewhere, in the Central Highlands to Downeast coast will see wind chills -18F to -10F throughout the evening into the early morning hours. Given the widespread wind chills below -25F across the North have hoisted a Cold Weather Advisory for Moosehead Region, North Woods, St. John Valley and Northeast Aroostook County from 9PM Tonight till 9AM Tuesday.
SHORT TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/
A powerful low pressure system will continue to meander over the Canadian Maritimes on Tuesday. The gradient between this low and high pressure to the west will result in continued gusty winds Tuesday. However, winds will not be as strong as on Monday.
Generally expecting wind gusts 25-35 mph, with higher gusts in the higher terrain. Scattered snow showers will continue in the Crown of Maine, with any additional accumulations less than one inch. This will also mean patchy blowing snow will remain possible in northern areas. 925mb temperatures around -20C mean another cold day Tuesday. Highs will be in the single digits above zero in the higher terrain, with teens elsewhere. A Cold Weather Advisory will remain in effect from Moosehead Lake and Katahdin north and west through mid-morning Tuesday.
The low will finally begin to pull away to the east Tuesday night. This will allow winds to gradually diminish. However, winds will still remain up enough to prevent decoupling Tuesday night. Low temperatures Tuesday night will be in the single digits above zero for most. Some colder spots could drop below zero. The air mass moderates on Wednesday, allowing for high temperatures to reach the 20s outside the higher terrain. The high will build closer to the area Wednesday night, but will not crest over the area. Low temperatures will be in the single digits above zero for much of the region.
LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/
A strengthening low pressure system will pass over the Atlantic Ocean, far to the south of Maine. This will keep the area dry, save for a flurry or two on the outer islands. High pressure will build in for Friday into the weekend. Temperatures for the long-term period will be near seasonable levels for this time of year.
AVIATION /08Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/
NEAR TERM: Northern Terms. MVFR/IFR with brief LIFR possible this morning thanks to SN. Expecting trend towards MVFR cigs with possible IFR vsby due to -SN & BLSN. Cigs will trend towards low end VFR by late today into tonight. Winds today W 15-25kt with gusts up to 40kt. Tonight winds will be W 10-20kt with gusts up to 35kt. BLSN may continue to reduce vsby through tonight.
Southern Terms...Terms are generally SCT-BKN MVFR this morning with reduced vsby from -SN. Expecting VCSH/SHSN to rotate through over the next several hours. Generally trending to VFR conditions today with brief vsby drops due to BLSN possible. W winds today 15-25kt with gusts 40-45kt possible. Tonight, winds W 10-20kt with gusts up to 35kt. Tonight LLWS is likely.
SHORT TERM: Tuesday-Tuesday night...Mainly VFR though occasional MVFR/IFR cigs at northern terminals with -SHSN. W-NW winds 5-15kts with gusts 25-30 kts during the day Tuesday.
Wednesday-Thursday...Mainly VFR. MVFR cigs possible over northern terminals with low stratus. W winds 5-10kts Wednesday becoming N 5-10kts Thursday.
Thursday night-Friday...VFR. NW 5-15kts with gusts to 20 kts Friday.
MARINE
NEAR TERM: Very dangerous conditions across the waters today into tonight. Storm Warning is in effect from 9AM this morning till 9AM Tuesday. West winds increase to 35-45kt with gusts up to 55kt. Seas will build to 12-17ft on the Coastal Waters and 5-10ft on the Intra-Coastal Waters. In addition, moderate freezing spray is likely and therefore a Freezing Spray Advisory has been issued from 10AM this morning and continues throughout the day Tuesday. In terms of freezing spray cannot rule out periods of heavy freezing spray in the Eastern most waters towards the Hague Line today into tonight.
SHORT TERM: A Storm Warning remains in effect for all waters through mid-morning Tuesday. Winds then diminish to Gale force, and remain there through Tuesday. Wind gusts diminish to Small Craft Advisory levels on the intra-coastal waters Tuesday night.
The outer waters likely see Gale force gusts through much of the night. Winds and seas subside below SCA levels by late Wednesday as high pressure builds in. Winds and seas build back above SCA criteria Thursday night into Friday as low pressure passes well south of the waters.
A freezing spray advisory remains in effect for all waters through the day Tuesday. Moderate freezing spray is expected during this time. The moderate freezing spray could continue into Tuesday night, with light freezing spray into Wednesday.
