DISCUSSION
KEY MESSAGE 1 DESCRIPTION...
COOL NORTHERLY FLOW CONTINUES THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AND
OVERNIGHT HOURS AS A SMALL AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE PASSES THROUGH
OVERNIGHT. SCATTERED SHOWERS THIS AFTERNOON DISSIPATE THIS
EVENING, WITH CLEARING SKIES OVERNIGHT. CLOUDS DO THEN INCREASE
LATE TONIGHT TOWARD DAYBREAK AHEAD OF A WEAK COLD FRONT. THIS
FRONT KEEPS NORTHERN AREAS FROM REACHING THEIR FULL COOLING
POTENTIAL TONIGHT, BUT THE MORE SHELTERED VALLEYS AROUND BERLIN,
WHITEFIELD, AND FRYEBURG MAY GET JUST COLD ENOUGH FOR SOME
PATCHY FROST. COVERAGE ISN'T EXPECTED TO BE ENOUGH TO WARRANT A
FROST ADVISORY, BUT TYPICALLY COOLER SPOTS AND VALLEYS COULD SEE
ONE MORE NIGHT OF PATCHY FROST TONIGHT AS LOWS DIP INTO THE MID
30S.
THE WARM UP THEN GETS UNDERWAY TOMORROW, WITH HIGHS WARMING
INTO THE LOW TO MID 70S ACROSS MOST OF THE AREA, AND MID TO
UPPER 60S ACROSS THE NORTH. THE SLOW MOVING FRONT PASSES
OFFSHORE DURING THE EARLY AFTERNOON HOURS, AND MAY KICK OFF SOME
ISOLATED SHOWERS AS IT DOES SO ALONG THE MIDCOAST TOMORROW
AFTERNOON. ELSEWHERE, THE FRONT'S PASSAGE IS MARKED BY AN UPTICK
IN CLOUD COVER, FOLLOWED BY CLEARING FOR THE LATE AFTERNOON.
TOMORROW NIGHT LOOKS MILDER THAN THE LAST FEW AS THE WARMER
AIRMASS CONTINUES TO WORK INTO NEW ENGLAND. LOWS GENERALLY LOOK
TO COOL INTO THE 40S, WITH MAINLY CLEAR SKIES OVERNIGHT.
KEY MESSAGE 2 DESCRIPTION...
DRY WEATHER AND WARMING TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED WEDNESDAY
THROUGH FRIDAY MORNING. A COLD FRONT SAGGING SOUTHWARD FROM
QUEBEC LATER FRIDAY MAY PROVIDE ENOUGH FORCING FOR ASCENT TO AID
IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF A FEW SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS,
ESPECIALLY IN OUR NORTHERN ZONES. THE THREAT FOR RAIN AND SOME
STORMS WILL CONTINUE INTO SATURDAY BUT ENSEMBLE GUIDANCE SHOWS
CONSIDERABLE SPREAD IN SFC AND UPPER AIR FEATURES BY THE END OF
THE WEEKEND, SO CONFIDENCE IN POPS IN LOW.
AVIATION /18Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/
MAINLY VFR PREVAILS THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT. SOME VALLEY FOG IS
POSSIBLE TONIGHT, BUT OVERALL LOOKS LESS LIKELY THAN LAST NIGHT.
OUTLOOK:
WEDNESDAY/WEDNESDAY NIGHT: VFR WITH LIGHT WINDS.
THURSDAY/FRIDAY: HIGH PRESSURE IS FAVORED WITH VFR CONDITIONS.
HOWEVER, A SAGGING COLD FRONT MAY BRING A FEW SHOWERS AND STORMS
TO THE WESTERN ME MOUNTAINS LATE FRIDAY.
SATURDAY: LOCAL MVFR CONDITIONS POSSIBLE IN SCT SHOWERS AND
STORMS.
MARINE
A SMALL AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE CROSSES THE WATERS TONIGHT. A
WEAK COLD FRONT THEN CROSSES THE WATERS TOMORROW AFTERNOON.
BROAD HIGH PRESSURE THEN BEGINS TO BUILD ACROSS THE WATER BY
TOMORROW NIGHT. CONDITIONS REMAIN BELOW SCA LEVELS THROUGH
TUESDAY NIGHT.
FAIR WEATHER IS EXPECTED TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY WITH WINDS AND
SEAS REMAINING BELOW SCA THRESHOLDS. NORTHERLY WINDS MAY
INCREASE SAT OR SUN DEPENDING ON A COLD FRONT.
