PNSGYX. FOR
INFORMATION ON RIVER AND AREAL FLOODING PLEASE SEE THE HYDROLOGY
SECTION BELOW.

COOLER AND DRIER AIR WILL BE FILTERING IN OVERNIGHT AND NORTHERN
NH AND MAINE WILL SEE LOWS DIP INTO THE LOWER 40S. COASTAL AND
INLAND LOCATIONS WILL SEE READINGS CLOSER TO THE MID TO UPPER 40S.
IN ADDITION...LIGHT WINDS AND RESIDUAL MOISTURE OVERNIGHT WHICH
WILL HELP FOSTER FOGGY CONDITIONS OVER NH AND ME.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 328 PM EDT/
BAND OF RAIN WILL CONTINUE TO SHIFT EAST OVERNIGHT. MODELS PICK
UP ON THIS RAPID EXIT OF THE PRECIPITATION THIS EVENING.

HAVE ADDED SOME PATCHY FOG OVERNIGHT OVER NEW HAMPSHIRE WHERE THE
CLEARING WILL TAKE PLACE FIRST. THERE WILL BE A LIGHT WNW GRADIENT
DEVELOPING SO LATE NIGHT FOG MAY NOT BE AN ISSUE. HOWEVER...THERE
IS AN AWFULLY LARGE SUPPLY OF LOW LEVEL MOISTURE ON THE GROUND AND
A FEW OF THE VALLEYS WINDS MAY REMAIN LIGHT OVERNIGHT.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM SATURDAY/...
CLOUDS WILL CONTINUE TO DEPART EARLY SATURDAY MORNING. WITH UPPER
TROUGH IN PLACE...AND A SUFFICIENT UPSLOPE FLOW...WE DO EXPECT
MORE CLOUDS IN THE MOUNTAINS AND POSSIBLY A BRIEF SHOWER OR
SPRINKLE DURING THE DAY. USED A BLEND OF MET/MAV NUMBERS FOR MAX
TEMPS.

UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL CONTINUE TO SHARPEN AND DIG WITH TIME OVER
THE GREAT LAKES. THIS SETS THE STAGE FOR AN OFFSHORE SYSTEM TO
DEVELOP IN THE LONGER TERM.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD ACROSS THE AREA SUNDAY THROUGH
TUESDAY. AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WILL DRIFT SLOWLY EASTWARD SOUTH
OF THE AREA TUESDAY AND MAY PROVIDE AN INCREASE IN CLOUDINESS
ALONG THE COAST TUESDAY. THE LOW WILL DRIFT EAST TUESDAY NIGHT
ALLOWING THE HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE TO RE-ESTABLISH ITSELF FOR THE
REMAINDER OF THE WEEK.

TEMPS IN THE MTNS AND FOOTHILLS SUNDAY AND MONDAY MORNINGS WILL
BE NEAR OR BELOW FREEZING AND MAY REQUIRE FREEZE WARNINGS.

&&

.AVIATION /01Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
SHORT TERM...AREAS OF IFR AND LIFR WILL GRADUALLY LIFT OVERNIGHT.
EXPECT VFR CONDITIONS OUTSIDE THE MOUNTAINS ON SATURDAY.

LONG TERM...VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED THROUGH THE PERIOD WITH SOME
MORNING VALLEY FOG POSSIBLE IN SHELTERED LOCATIONS.

&&

.MARINE...
SHORT TERM...SCA UP FOR BOTH WINDS AND SEAS. WAVE WATCH IS RUNNING A
LITTLE HIGH TODAY...SO NOTCHED IT DOWN SLIGHTLY.

LONG TERM...SMALL CRAFT CONDITIONS POSSIBLE SUNDAY INTO EARLY NEXT
WEEK...OTHERWISE WINDS AND SEAS EXPECTED TO BE BELOW SCA
CONDITIONS.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
HAVE SENT OUT AN UPDATED PUBLIC INFORMATION STATEMENT DETAILING
RAINFALL AMOUNTS ACROSS THE AREA. MOST OF MAINE STAYED BELOW 2
INCHES...WITH THE EXCEPTION OF SOMERSET COUNTY. MUCH OF NORTHERN
AND WESTERN NEW HAMPSHIRE HAD BETWEEN 3 AND 5 INCHES OF RAIN. THIS
HAS CAUSED RISES ON MANY RIVERS...AND WITH THE BRIEF LULL IN THE
RAIN WHICH WAS EXPERIENCED YESTERDAY...MANY RIVERS ARE SEEING A
SECOND CREST THIS EVENING. CALLS TO GRAFTON COUNTY INDICATE SOME
ROADS ARE STILL UNDER WATER AND THEREFORE THE FLOOD WARNING
CONTINUES FOR THAT REGION DESPITE MOST OF THE HEAVY RAIN HAVING
EXITED NEW HAMPSHIRE.

THE TWO RIVERS WHICH ARE IN FLOOD OR MOST LIKELY TO EXPERIENCE
FLOODING ARE THE CONNECTICUT RIVER AND THE PEMIGEWASSET RIVER. THE
PEMIGEWASSET RIVER HAS CRESTED IN THE HEADWATERS NEAR WOODSTOCK
AND THIS CREST WILL MAKE ITS WAY PAST PLYMOUTH WITHIN THE NEXT FEW
HOURS. THE CONNECTICUT HAS SHOWN SIGNS OF CRESTING IN THE UPSTREAM
HEADWATERS AS WELL. LOCATIONS FURTHER SOUTH ALONG THE RIVER MAY
EXPERIENCE AN INITIAL CREST TONIGHT BEFORE RISING AGAIN TOMORROW
AS THE NEXT CREST PUSHES DOWNSTREAM FROM THE NORTH. AT THIS TIME
ALL LOCATIONS WHICH HAVE FLOOD WARNINGS ARE EXPECTED TO CREST
BELOW MODERATE FLOOD STAGE...SO FLOODING SHOULD REMAIN MINOR. MOST
OF THE FLOODING WILL END ON SATURDAY...THOUGH SOME RIVERS MAY STAY
UP THROUGH SUNDAY.

&&

.GYX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
ME...NONE.
NH...NONE.
MARINE...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY UNTIL 6 PM EDT SATURDAY FOR ANZ150>154.
