    Areas affected...portions of eastern Maine

    Concerning...Heavy snow=20

    Valid 241846Z - 242215Z

    SUMMARY...Heavy snow will continue across eastern Maine for the next
    few hours, with 1 inch/hour snowfall rates possible.

    DISCUSSION...Ahead of an approaching stacked cyclone over the Great
    Lakes, low-level warm-air/moisture advection over eastern New
    England is providing increased ascent amid a sub-freezing
    troposphere. Saturation of the dendritic growth zone is supporting
    heavier snowfall, which has been observed over NH into southwest ME
    over the past couple of hours. Current thinking is that the primary
    snowband along the NH/ME border will continue to benefit from
    low-level convergence along an axis of 850-700 mb frontogenesis,
    which characterizes the nose of the stronger WAA within the
    dendritic growth zone. 1 inch/hour snowfall rates will be possible,
    as also shown by the consensus of the more recent high-resolution
    guidance.
