MD 2267 CONCERNING HEAVY SNOW FOR PARTS OF SOUTHERN MAINE
Mesoscale Discussion 2267
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0447 AM CST Wed Dec 24 2025
Areas affected...Parts of southern Maine
Concerning...Heavy snow
Valid 241047Z - 241445Z
SUMMARY...Band of heavy snow with 1-1.5 in/hr rates to continue
across parts of southern Maine through around 14Z.
DISCUSSION...Within the left exit region of a robust mid/upper-level
jet streak and to the north of a surface low just offshore of
coastal Maine, strong low-level frontogenesis and convergence is
yielding strong mesoscale and large-scale forcing for ascent over
southern Maine. Here, a cold/saturated profile, substantial lift
within the DGZ, and light winds within the DGZ will favor a
continuation of heavy snowfall rates (around 1-1.5 inches per hour).
These heavy rates should continue through around 14Z, before the
left-exit region ascent moves offshore.
