.SYNOPSIS...
High pressure will build in from the west through tonight then
move east of the region Thursday. A cold front will cross the
region Friday. Strong low pressure will cross the Gulf of Maine
Saturday, then exit across the Maritimes Sunday.....
.....SHORT TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
High pressure will cross the region Thursday with mostly/partly
sunny skies north, mostly sunny Downeast. High pressure will
then move east Thursday night, with a cold front approaching
northern areas late. Expect increasing clouds Thursday night
with a chance of snow showers north, slight chance Downeast. The
cold front crosses the region Friday with mostly cloudy skies
along with a chance of snow showers. Any snow accumulations
Friday should be an inch or less. The cold front exits across
the Gulf of Maine Friday night, while an ocean low intensifies
east of the Mid-Atlantic region. Expect partly/mostly cloudy
skies along with a chance of evening snow showers across
northern areas Friday night. Across Downeast areas, expect
mostly cloudy skies with a chance of snow showers early Friday
night, then a chance of steadier snow late. Temperatures will
be at below normal levels Thursday, with near normal level

&&
.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
A deepening upper trof, upper level jet support and phasing of
northern and southern stream energy will allow the low to
rapidly deepen while lifting northeast Saturday. A closing upper
level low will capture the surface low later Saturday into
Saturday night. Uncertainty still exists regarding the track
and intensity of the low. Snow will expand north across the
region from later Friday night through Saturday afternoon. Snow
will then persist Saturday night through early Sunday, tapering
to snow showers Sunday afternoon in the wake of the exiting
vertically stacked surface/upper lows. Snow totals remain
uncertain at this time and will be dependent on the eventual
track of the low. Strong gusty winds will also develop Saturday
and persist into Sunday producing areas of blowing snow. High
pressure will cross the region Monday then exit to the east
Tuesday with mostly clear/partly cloudy skies. Below normal
level temperatures are expected Saturday/Sunday, with near
normal level temperatures Monday/Tuesday.....
