733 FXUS61 KGYX 091432 AFDGYX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Gray ME 1032 AM EDT Mon Jun 9 2025 .SYNOPSIS... Mostly to partly cloudy skies are expected today with a few showers possible, mainly across southern New Hampshire. Conditions then become unsettled with widespread showers Tuesday with fog and drizzle also possible tonight into the first part of Tuesday. Improving conditions are then expected for the second half of the week, with perhaps yet another unsettled Saturday in store. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/... 1030 AM Update...Forecast is good shape with only minor changes to temperatures needed based on trends. 625 AM Update...Little change to going forecast this morning. Mainly cloudy skies with a few spot showers remains expected for the next several hours. Previously... No significant changes to the forecast for today as guidance continues to advertise a warm front remaining to our south as high pressure nudges in from the east. This will set the stage for a gradual moist overunning pattern with increasing clouds and also a few showers from time to time, especially across southern NH. Went with a blend of guidance for highs today. && .SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM TUESDAY/... Moisture continues to increase tonight as warm front remains to our south. This will increase the chances for fog and drizzle tonight right into Tuesday morning. A cold front or occlusion will approach Tuesday with increasing chances for showers and perhaps a thunderstorm. Not anticipating any hydro issues at this time. && .LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/... Drier and warmer conditions are then expected Wednesday through Friday with highs in the 70s to low 80s, but broad troughing aloft over the Northeast US will allow for a few weak waves/fronts to cross through. These could each bring low-end shower chances, but nothing significant or widespread is expected. Looking toward next weekend...a frontal boundary may stall near or just south of the area while models are latching onto an upper-level wave riding along the boundary to generating some showers. At the same time, there is a decent signal for high pressure to attempt build in from the north, which could end up suppressing the front/upper wave to the south. However, this is not a done deal as there are still ensemble members that bring rain showers farther north into the area. Still, it looks like the better potential for drier weather will be farther to the north and east while southern areas have the higher chances of showers (30-40%) for next weekend. && .AVIATION /15Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/... Short Term...Early morning fog in spots should lift allowing for VFR conditions. However, increasing low level moisture should allow for MVFR conditions to develop across southern New Hampshire this afternoon with MVFR to IFR overspreading the rest of the area tonight and Tuesday. Long Term...Precipitation tapers off Tuesday evening into Tuesday night, but conditions then favor more fog development which could cause additional restrictions. Mainly VFR Wednesday through Friday, but there still could be additional low chances for showers. && .MARINE... Short Term...Conditions are expected to remain below SCA thresholds through Tuesday. Areas of dense fog are possible tonight through Tues morning, with patchy drizzle possible as well. Long Term...SCA conditions are not currently expected over the next week. Weak low pressure and front cross the waters Tuesday into Tuesday night bringing fog and a chance of showers. Southwest flow sets up mid to late week with a few additional weak systems crossing the waters. High pressure may build in from the north over the weekend, but a front may also stall out near or just south of the waters going into the weekend. && .GYX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
