Key message 1...fog likely tonight, especially downeast. Fog could be dense enough to impact travel especially near the coast.
Key message 1 description... The marine layer this morning is expected to burn off by late morning. However, some fog could move onshore along the coast during the day today with the SSE winds. Although temps will be cooler today, the southerly flow will continue to bring moisture into the region. In addition, the next system will push more moisture into the area ahead of the rain. These parameters will prep the area for fog tonight as the winds calm and the temps cool. Greater low level moisture will allow for the marine layer to move into the coast again. Unsure how far north the marine layer will reach, but the coast will see reduced visibility.
Key message 2...rain thursday into thursday night, with higher totals downeast.
Key message 2 description... The closed low pressure system is expected to slow over new england before tracking NE across the gulf of maine. The ensembles and deterministic models show a better agreement with the higher rain amounts staying in the south while the north could see very little rain in the form of isolated showers. Rainfall amounts seem to have decreased further, however, due to the possible showery nature to the rain, still uncertain to the amounts. There is some potential for a thunderstorm thursday afternoon, but not anticipating severe conditions.
Rest of the night...MVFR for north briefly. IFR/LIFR for bgr/bhb in areas of fog. Light and variable winds.
Today...MVFR cigs in low stratus for the north terminals this morning, then becoming VFR for the rest of the day. MVFR/IFR for bgr/bhb in patchy fog and low stratus this morning, then becoming mainly VFR with possible MVFR/IFR in any lingering fog. SSE winds 5-10 KTS.
Tonight...MVFR early, then IFR/LIFR in areas of fog, especially south terminals. Light and variable winds.

Thursday night...across northern areas, VFR/MVFR early then MVFR/IFR occasional LIFR. Showers ending. Across downeast areas, MVFR/IFR early then IFR/LIFR. Decreasing shower chances. Patchy fog late, mostly downeast. Northeast winds 5 to 10 knots, becoming north.
Friday...MVFR/IFR early, then VFR/MVFR. Isolated, mostly afternoon, showers. North winds 5 to 10 knots, becoming variable.
