FXUS61 KGYX 031936 AFDGYX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Gray ME 236 PM EST Fri Jan 3 2025 .SYNOPSIS... Winds will slowly relax through the weekend, but still remain breezy as the low pressure system weakens with a colder airmass moving into the region. Temperatures will run below normal through the first half of next week with mostly dry conditions as the storm track will be south of New England. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... Broad cold air advection continues on westerly flow overnight tonight as low pressure remains to the north of New England in Quebec, and high pressure to the west through the Plains. The pressure gradient continues to gradually ease through the overnight hours, allowing the winds to continue to slowly lower. A steady breeze is expected to continue through the overnight hours, but won't be as strong as last night's. Lows range from the single digits across the north, to the near 20 along the coastline. Upslope snow showers continue north of the mountains overnight, but continue to slowly diminish in coverage. && .SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/... Tomorrow's pattern looks similar to today overall, but about 5-10 degrees cooler, and with a bit less wind. A westerly breeze continues through the day and will still be noticeable. Clouds and occasional upslope snow showers linger north of the mountains, while sunnier skies are anticipated south of the mountains. The downward trend continues tomorrow night as colder air continues to move into the Eastern US. Lows fall to near zero across the north, while the Maine coast cools into the low teens. Southern and coastal New Hampshire likely hold onto readings in the mid to upper teens. Isolated upslope snow showers continue across the north, while mainly clear skies prevail south of the mountains. && .LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/... Forecast continue to be for cold and mostly dry weather though next week and -NAO block over the N Atlantic and +PNA pattern helps lock broad troughing in at 500 MB across the NE CONUS and E Canada. So, overall temps remain below normal, but mostly by not too much, and dry. A few mountains flurries could be possible at times, but the next chance of any SHSN or flurries across a substantial part of the CWA is not until late next week, and this hardly looks significant attm. It seems like Sunday will be the coldest of the stretch with highs on around +10 in the mtns, ranging to mostly the low to mid 20s to the S, maybe a touch warmer in SE NH. Monday through Thu are a little warmer but still below normal with daytime highs 15-20 in the N to 25 to 30 in the S. It looks breezy most days, which will continue to make it feel colder. On Thursday, a weak may approach the area and set off some snow showers, but confidence for this is low. && .AVIATION /20Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... Short Term...Gusty west winds around 25kt ease this evening. Mainly VFR conditions prevail through tomorrow night, except at HIE where intervals of MVFR ceilings are possible with upslope flow. A period of MVFR ceilings also can't be ruled out at LEB late tonight and tomorrow. Long Term...VFR expected Sunday through Wednesday. && .MARINE... Short Term...Westerly gales across the outer waters gradually ease through this evening, with SCA conditions continuing into tomorrow morning. Westerly wind gusts then however around 25kt through tomorrow night. Temperatures continue to fall overnight, with light freezing spray possible by late tonight, and then again tomorrow night.
