...Changes to National Weather Service Gray Forecast Zones...
Effective today at 1200 PM Eastern Standard Time, one county
public and fire weather forecast zone for NWS Weather Forecast
Office Gray, ME, will be adjusted into different zones. The
Interior Cumberland segment of Cumberland County, ME, will be
split along a line at Naples Town Center, southwest to Sebago and
northeast to Casco. This change will result in county segments of
Interior Cumberland Highlands and Central Interior forecast zones.
The new Interior Cumberland Highlands weather forecast zone will
have a UGC identifier of MEZ033. This new zone will include the
towns of Harrison, Bridgton and Naples.
These changes are intended to provide increased flexibility and
improved accuracy of forecasts in the public and fire weather
programs. These changes will result in more geographically precise
forecasts as well as watch, and warning products for the public
and will enhance web-based graphical product consistency and
appearance.
