Areas affected...Inland portions of Maine

Concerning...Heavy snow=20

Valid 290008Z - 290515Z

SUMMARY...The potential for banded heavy snow with rates around 1
inch per hour will increase across inland portions of Maine between
01-03Z and persist through at least 06Z.

DISCUSSION...Surface observations and mosaic radar data indicate
light to moderate snow falling across inland portions of Maine,
where surface temperatures are hovering around 32-33 deg F. This
broad area of snow is being driven by a plume of moderate low-level
warm advection to the north of a gradually deepening surface low
tracking north-northeastward off the southern New England coast.=20

Over the next few hours, a negatively tilted midlevel impulse --
evident in water-vapor imagery -- will continue northeastward across
southern Maine. This will favor strengthening deep-layer ascent to
the north of the deepening surface low, where the ascending branch
of a strengthening frontogenetic circulation should intercept the
base of a deep/saturated dendritic growth zone. Despite somewhat
marginal low-level temperatures, this should yield several hours of
banded heavy snow with rates around 1 inch per hour (locally
higher). The onset of the heavy snow is generally expected in the
01-03Z timeframe, and should persist through at least 06Z while
spreading northeastward.
