WHAT HAS CHANGED
Update to aviation section below
-Confidence has increased in higher snow amounts and the track of the system.
-Winter Storm Warnings have been issued for the southern Penobscot, all of Hancock, and central and coastal Washington counties
-Winter Weather Advisory has been extended north into northern Penobscot, northern Piscataquis, northern Somerset, and all of Aroostook counties
KEY MESSAGES
1) Snow will overspread the region tonight with impacts to the Wednesday morning and evening commute expected.
2) Heavy snow showers possible across mostly northern areas Saturday.
3) Significant uncertainty regarding possible low pressure early next week.
DISCUSSION
KEY MESSAGE 1...Snow will overspread the region tonight with impacts to the Wednesday morning and evening commute expected.
KEY MESSAGE 1 DESCRIPTION...
Confidence in the winter storms has greatly increased with the addition of the CAMS models into the forecast. The low pressure system will track across northern New York, pushing snow from west to east this evening. By tonight, the low will deepen causing it to pick up speed as ii move SE towards the Gulf of Maine. After midnight, the low will be over the waters. The deterministic and the ensemble models are in good agreement with more northerly track of the center of the low moving just south of the Downeast coast. The time period between midnight and Wednesday morning will be the period of higher snow total across the region with localized 0.5 inches per hour snow rate. This is due to the surface trof developing off the low.
By Wednesday, the system will shift to a ENE track moving south of Nova Scotia. However, the trof will still hang over the region. The concern is with the initial onshore flow that more moisture will pipe into the system causing more snow bands and higher snow amounts in the upslope of the higher terrain. By the afternoon and evening the trof will rotate across the region, pulling the snow bands across the north then wrap around to the south, while Washington county will see stagnant flow.
By Wednesday night, the system will start to clear out leaving behind snow showers that will develop in the north and possibly intensify with the north flow across the higher terrain.
KEY MESSAGE 2...
Heavy snow showers possible across mostly northern areas Saturday.
KEY MESSAGE 2 DESCRIPTION...
An upper level disturbance will cross the region Saturday. Steep low level lapse rates could accompany the disturbance which could support locally heavy snow showers which could reduce visibilities and impact travel. The best chance of snow showers should occur across northern areas.
KEY MESSAGE 3...
Significant uncertainty regarding possible low pressure early next week.
KEY MESSAGE 3 DESCRIPTION...
Low pressure should develop along the coast of the Carolinas early next week then track northeast. However, significant uncertainty with track still exists. Any possible impacts across the region will depend on the eventual track.
AVIATION /00Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/
