&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
COLD FRONT MOVING THROUGH CENTRAL MAINE EARLY THIS MORNING WILL
CONTINUE TO MOVE SOUTH AND OFFSHORE BY THIS AFTERNOON. HIGH CLOUDS
ASSOCIATED WITH THE NOSE OF THE JET STREAM DIVING SOUTHWARD FROM
CANADA WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE ACROSS THE REGION THIS MORNING AND
THEN MOVE SOUTH OF THE REGION THIS AFTERNOON. A MIX OF SUN AND
CLOUDS ACROSS NORTHERN AND CENTRAL SECTIONS AS STRATUS CUMULUS
DEVELOPS LATER TODAY DUE TO PLENTY OF LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AND
CYCLONIC FLOW IN COMBINATION WITH SURFACE HEATING. DOWNGLIDE
BEHIND THE FRONT WILL ALLOW FOR CLEARING CONDITIONS ACROSS
DOWNEAST THIS AFTERNOON. UPPER TROUGH MOVES ACROSS THE STATE EARLY THIS
EVENING WHICH MAY HELP TO PRODUCE SOME SCATTERED SPRINKLES OR
FLURRIES, AGAIN MAINLY ACROSS NORTHERN SECTIONS. COLD AIR ADVECTION
BEHIND THE COLD FRONT VERY WEAK TODAY SO WILL GO ABOVE THE GUIDANCE
FOR MAX TEMPERATURES AS GUIDANCE HAS BEEN TOO COOL THE PAST COUPLE
OF DAYS. MUCH COLDER TONIGHT AS STRONGER COLD AIR ADVECTION MOVES

&&

.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...

THE REGION. TEMPERATURES ON TUESDAY WILL BE COOLER THAN WE HAVE
SEEN IN QUITE SOME TIME BUT CLOSER TO NORMAL FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR.
A SERIES OF WEAK IMPULSES ROTATING ACROSS THE REGION IN THE
NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT WILL BRING A BIT MORE IN THE WAY OF CLOUDS
AND PERHAPS A STRAY FLURRY TO NORTHERN AREAS...WITH MAINLY CLEAR
SKIES DOWNEAST WITH DRIER NORTHWEST DOWNSLOPE FLOW.

THE UPPER TROF WILL GRADUALLY LIFT EASTWARD DURING WEDNESDAY AS A
RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE AT THE SURFACE BUILDS TOWARD THE REGION
FROM QUEBEC PROVINCE. THIS WILL BRING MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES TO MUCH
OF THE REGION DURING WEDNESDAY WITH DAYTIME TEMPERATURES A FEW
DEGREES WARMER THAN TUESDAY.
&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD ACROSS THE REGION WEDNESDAY
NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY WITH GENERALLY CLEAR SKIES EXPECTED. THE

PRECIPITATION TO THE REGION. TEMPERATURES THROUGH MUCH OF THIS
PERIOD WILL REMAIN ABOVE NORMAL FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR.

VFR CONDITIONS TODAY AND TONIGHT. VFR CONDITIONS ARE THEN EXPECTED
TO CONTINUE THROUGH MUCH OF THE MID WEEK PERIOD.
