What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Caribou, ME wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jul 6, 2:57 PM EDT, 4 hours 15 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jul 6, 2:57 PM EDT, 4 hours 15 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CARIBOU ME
257 PM EDT WED JUL 6 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
A WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE WILL LIFT NORTH OF THE STATE EARLY THIS
EVENING WHILE A COLD FRONT CROSSES THE AREA. HIGH PRESSURE WILL
FOLLOW THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY.
&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY/...
A SHORTWAVE LIFTING NORTH OF THE AREA EARLY TONIGHT WILL BRING A
BAND OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO THE REGION AS A COLD FRONT
PUSHES THROUGH. MOST OF THE THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO BE
ACROSS FAR NORTHERN AREAS. SOUNDINGS ARE ONLY MODERATELY UNSTABLE
WITH CAPES AROUND 600 J/KG FORECAST ON THE NAM AND AROUND 300
FORECAST ON THE GFS. WINDS ARE STRONG ALOFT SO ANY STORM
DOWNDRAFT COULD CONTAIN STRONG GUSTY WINDS. A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM
WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED UNTIL 9 PM FOR WESTERN MAINE INCLUDING
SOMERSET COUNTY. SOME STORMS IN FAR WESTERN AREAS MAY CONTAIN
STRONG DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL EARLY THIS EVENING.
ELSEWHERE...THERE IS AN ISOLATED POSSIBILITY THAT THUNDERSTORMS
REACH SEVERE LEVELS.
THE COLD FRONT WILL QUICKLY MOVE EAST AND AWAY LATER TONIGHT. HIGH
PRESSURE WILL BEGIN TO BUILD IN ON THURSDAY. SLIGHTLY COOLER AIR
ALOFT ACROSS THE NORTH WILL RESULT IN SOME CUMULUS CLOUDS OVER
NORTHERN AREAS BRINGING PARTIAL SUNSHINE. LESS CLOUDS DOWNEAST
SHOULD ALLOW FOR A MOSTLY SUNNY SKY OVER SOUTHERN SPOTS.
&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL CROSS THE REGION THURSDAY NIGHT...THEN MOVE
EAST FRIDAY BRINGING PARTLY CLOUDY TO MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES TO THE
FORECAST AREA. A COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH WESTERN MAINE FRIDAY
NIGHT WHILE LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPS SOUTH OF THE REGION. THE COLD
FRONT WILL CROSS THE REGION SATURDAY THROUGH SATURDAY
EVENING...WHILE THE LOW TRACKS SOUTH OF THE GULF OF MAINE. MODELS
INDICATE THE MOST SIGNIFICANT RAINS REMAINING SOUTH OF THE REGION
SATURDAY...ALONG THE TRACK OF THE LOW. LESSER PRECIPITATION IS
INDICATED NORTHWARD ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA SATURDAY ALONG THE COLD
FRONT. UNCERTAINTY STILL EXISTS REGARDING THE EXTENT OF
SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS ALONG THE COLD FRONT SATURDAY. THE FRONT
WILL MOVE EAST OF THE REGION EARLY SATURDAY NIGHT...WITH ANY
LINGERING SHOWERS ENDING DURING THE EVENING. HIGH PRESSURE WILL
THEN BUILD EAST LATER SATURDAY NIGHT WITH DECREASING CLOUD COVER.
TEMPERATURES WILL BE AT NEAR NORMAL LEVELS FRIDAY/SATURDAY.
&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
A FAIRLY STRAIGHTFORWARD PATTERN LOOKS TO BE TAKING SHAPE FOR THE
LONG RANGE. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BRING SUNSHINE FOR SUNDAY ALONG
WITH SEASONALLY WARM TEMPERATURES. AS A SOUTHERLY FLOW INCREASES
AHEAD OF THE NEXT COLD FRONT, TEMPERATURES WILL BE WARMER WITH AN
INCREASE IN HUMIDITY FOR MONDAY. HOWEVER AS THE COLD FRONT
APPROACHES DURING THE AFTERNOON THIS WILL KICK OFF THE CHANCE FOR
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS, ESPECIALLY OVER WESTERN AREAS. THE CHANCE
FOR SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL CONTINUE MONDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY
TUESDAY AS THE COLD FRONT CROSSES THE REGION FROM NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST.
FAIR WEATHER AND SEASONAL TEMPERATURES WILL FOLLOW FOR THE MIDDLE
OF NEXT WEEK.
&&

.AVIATION /18Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
NEAR TERM: THUNDERSTORMS MAY BRIEFLY LOWER CONDITIONS TO IFR EARLY
THIS EVENING...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE NORTH. ANY STORMS COULD
CONTAIN STRONG DOWNDRAFTS AND GUSTY WINDS. OTHERWISE...VFR
CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TONIGHT AND THURSDAY.

SHORT TERM: VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH
EARLY FRIDAY NIGHT. CONDITIONS SHOULD LOWER TO MVFR/IFR LEVELS
LATER FRIDAY NIGHT...WITH SIMILAR CONDITIONS THEN PERSISTING
INTO SATURDAY EVENING. CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO IMPROVE TO VFR
LEVELS SATURDAY NIGHT WITH THESE CONDITIONS CONTINUING THROUGH
SUNDAY. MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS WILL BE POSSIBLE AGAIN BY LATE MONDAY AS
THE NEXT ROUND OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS APPROACHES ASSOCIATED WITH A
COLD FRONT.
&&

.MARINE...
NEAR TERM: WINDS AND SEAS SHOULD REMAIN BELOW SCA TONIGHT AND
THURSDAY. SOME FOG MAY RETURN THIS EVENING AS HUMID AIR MOVES OVER
THE WATERS...ESPECIALLY UP TOWARD EASTPORT.

SHORT TERM: WINDS/SEAS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN BELOW SMALL CRAFT
ADVISORY LEVELS THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT.
VISIBILITIES COULD BE REDUCED IN PATCHY FOG AND SHOWERS FRIDAY
NIGHT THROUGH EARLY SATURDAY NIGHT.
