Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Gray ME
321 PM EST Mon Nov 26 2018
.SYNOPSIS...
Low pressure tracking near the New England coastline will spread
precipitation across the area tonight. Expect significant snow
accumulation in the mountains and foothills while southern and
coastal areas stay mostly rain. The heavier precipitation moves
out on Tuesday as the low lifts northeast. Some lingering snow
showers are possible on Wednesday as the core of upper level low
pressure drifts across the region. The next significant storm
system will arrive this weekend and could bring more wintry
precipitation or rain for Sunday.

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
Upper level low moves across the area on Wednesday and as such
we can expect some more widespread light snow showers crossing
the area. This will not be limited to just the mountains, though
accumulations should be minor especially as the temperature
will frequently be above freezing.
Although we do get in the cooler northwest flow behind the
departing low, the cold air with this system largely dissipates
over the Midwest while the air moving into our area is more of
wrap around cool/moist air. So expect high temperatures to be
near or slightly below normal while low level moisture keeps low
temperatures a bit above normal.
High pressure drifts across on Friday with the possibility of a
weak shortwave trough crossing Friday night. This could bring a
round of light snow to the entire area, though there is not a
lot of lift with this so accumulations will be minor.
The next more significant storm system to affect our area will
be a large and slow moving cut off low tracking through the
southern jet stream and lifting into the Great Lakes this
weekend. Surface low pressure will form out ahead of it and
track northeast, though the timing and evolution of this is
still in question. For us this looks like a warmer scenario
being on the east side of the trough. However, it could evolve
as a rain to freezing rain scenario depending on how cold the
low level temperatures are.
