A secondary low pressure system will develop over the southwestern New England Thursday then move northeastward across Maine Thursday Afternoon.

In the north the change over is expected to occur after midnight. Road surfaces are very cold and may remain below freezing until Thursday Morning. For precipitation type have used the top down method run on a blend of the Nam and Gfs. For snow accumulation have used the snow ratio grids. Freezing rain amounts are expected to remain under a tenth of an inch .SHORT TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/... Surface low will mv into CWA Thu evening as pattern rmns active.

Marine Discussion Near Term: A strong low level jet is expected across the waters on Thursday. Will use the Nam to initialize winds. A strong southerly fetch is expected to develop across the Gulf of Maine on Wednesday into Thursday with wave heigheights building to around 20 feet/10-11 seconds Late Thursday. The fetch will be broken up by the wind shift into the southwest Thursday Evening with wave heigheights subsiding Thursday Night into Friday. Total Water Level: The ESTOFS storm surge is greater then the ETSS in southerly flow on Thursday. Will favor the higher ESTOFS (+1.25 feet in bay areas) however a southwesterly wind direction would favor a lower surge number due to the coriolis component. Will keep the Base Tide Anomaly at +0.50/0.040 feet for Thursday. Will keep close eye on surface wind speeds Thursday morning as high tide approaches. Short Term: Wind drop to gale conditions Thur night with SCA level winds lingering into Fri morning. Seas remain above 10 feet into Fri morning, remaining above Small Craft Advisory levels into the day on Sat. Winds diminish as high pressure builds in Sat morning. Tides / Coastal Flooding Strong southerly winds are expected Thursday afternoon into the early evening. High tide is around 12:45pm and the astronomical tide is near the highest levels of the month. Storm surge models indicate that the maximum surge will occur later in the afternoon. In addition the largest waves are not expected until late afternoon and early evening. Therefore only minimum tidal flooding and overtopping is expected at this time. We will therefore issue a coastal flood statement NOAA Caribou ME Office - Watches - Warnings - Advisories ME...Winter Weather Advisory until 11am EST Thursday for MEZ001>006-010.
