AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CARIBOU ME
320 PM EDT SAT JUN 23 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE WILL LIFT NORTHEAST ALONG THE COAST THIS EVENING AND
THEN INTO THE MARITIMES TONIGHT. A WEAK RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE
WILL BUILD TOWARD THE REGION SUNDAY AND INTO SUNDAY NIGHT. A LARGE
AND SLOW MOVING LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL MOVE INTO THE REGION
LATER MONDAY AND KEEP THE WEATHER PATTERN DAMP AND UNSETTLED FOR
MUCH OF THE UPCOMING WEEK.
&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY/...
A WEAK AREA OF LOW PRESSURE ALONG THE MID COAST OF MAINE WILL
TRACK NORTHEAST TONIGHT WHILE AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH CROSSES THE
REGION. EXPECT SHOWERS AND SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS TO CONTINUE
INTO THIS EVENING BEFORE GRADUALLY DIMINISHING LATER TONIGHT AS
THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH MOVE EAST. PATCHY FOG WILL DEVELOP ONCE
AGAIN TONIGHT WITH ABUNDANT LOW LEVEL MOISTURE REMAINING IN PLACE.
LOW TEMPERATURES TONIGHT WILL GENERALLY BE AROUND 60 DEGREES IN
MOST LOCATIONS.

WEAK LOW PRESSURE WILL SLOWLY MOVE ACROSS THE MARITIMES SUNDAY AS
THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH MOVES EAST. SOME LINGERING SHOWERS ARE STILL
POSSIBLE THROUGH EARLY SUNDAY MORNING BUT SOME IMPROVEMENT IS
EXPECTED BY SUNDAY AFTERNOON AS A WEAK MID LEVEL RIDGE BUILDS
ACROSS WITH AT LEAST SOME PARTIAL SUNSHINE EXPECTED. HIGH
TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO RANGE FROM THE UPPER 60S TO THE MID
70S ACROSS THE REGION.
&&

.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
A BRIEF PERIOD OF DRY WEATHER WILL MOVE IN FOR SUNDAY NIGHT UNDER
PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES WITH LOWS IN THE 55 TO 60 RANGE. RAIN AND
SHOWERS IN ASSOCIATION WITH A VIGOROUS UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL MOVE
INTO THE REGION FROM WEST TO EAST THROUGH THE DAY ON MONDAY.
ENOUGH DAYTIME HEATING SHOULD TAKE PLACE OVER NORTHERN PARTS OF
THE FORECAST AREA TO ALLOW FOR THE CHANCE OF SOME THUNDERSTORMS AS
WELL. VERY UNSETTLED CONDITIONS WITH RAIN AND SHOWERS, HEAVY AT
TIMES, WILL CONTINUE ACROSS THE REGION FOR MONDAY NIGHT INTO
TUESDAY AS THE LOW REMAINS STALLED OVER THE AREA AND A RICH STREAM
OF MOISTURE IS DRAWN IN OFF THE ATLANTIC. SOME IMPROVEMENT IS
POSSIBLE ACROSS SOUTHERN AND WESTERN SECTIONS OF THE CWA BY LATER
TUESDAY AS THE HEAVIEST AND STEADIEST OF THE PRECIPITATION WILL
TEND TO BECOME CONFINED TO CENTRAL AND NORTHERN AREAS. WHILE IT IS
STILL A COUPLE DAYS OUT AND MODELS HAVE YET TO RESOLVE THE FINER
DETAILS OF THIS SYSTEM EARLY INDICATIONS ARE THAT TWO DAY RAINFALL
AMOUNTS COULD BE 1 TO 2 INCHES, POSSIBLY HIGHER. TEMPERATURES FOR
MONDAY AND TUESDAY WILL BE ON THE COOL SIDE DUE TO THE CLOUD COVER
AND RAIN..RUNNING SEVERAL DEGREES BELOW LATE JUNE AVERAGES.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
STRONG UPPER LEVEL AND SURFACE LOW OVER THE STATE AT THE
BEGINNING OF THIS PERIOD. EXPECT THE UPPER LOW TO REMAIN OVER THE
REGION INTO THURSDAY AS THE SURFACE LOW WEAKENS. UPPER LOW WEAKENS
AND MOVES OFF TO THE NORTHEAST THURSDAY NIGHT...HOWEVER ANOTHER
UPPER LOW APPROACHES FROM THE NORTHWEST FRIDAY. EXPECT BOTH OF
THESE SYSTEM TO RESULT IN UNSETTLED CONDITIONS THROUGH THE
EXTENDED PERIOD. WILL INITIALIZE ALL GRIDS WITH GMOS. HAVE MADE
SOME MINOR ADJUSTMENTS TO POP AND SKY GRIDS.
&&

.AVIATION /19Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
NEAR TERM: EXPECT CONDITIONS TO VARY BETWEEN VFR/MVFR THE REST OF
THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING AND THEN TO IFR LATER TONIGHT IN
PATCH FOG. IFR/MVFR IS EXPECTED THROUGH EARLY SUNDAY MORNING WITH
CONDITIONS RETURNING TO VFR BY SUNDAY AFTERNOON.

SHORT TERM:
SOME FOG WILL BE POSSIBLE SUNDAY NIGHT AND MAY RESULT IN A PERIOD
OF MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS. RAIN AND SHOWERS WILL MOVE INTO THE REGION
FROM WEST TO EAST THROUGH THE DAY MONDAY WITH ALL TERMINAL
EXPECTED TO BE DOWN TO IFR CONDITIONS BY MONDAY NIGHT.
PREDOMINATELY MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS LOOK TO CONTINUE THROUGH TUESDAY
AS THE LOW LINGERS. EXPECT MVFR CONDITIONS TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH
THURSDAY.
&&

.MARINE...
NEAR TERM: WIND/SEAS SHOULD REMAIN BELOW SCA LEVELS THROUGH
SUNDAY. PATCHY FOG WILL REDUCE VISIBILITY TO 1 TO 3 NM TONIGHT
THROUGH EARLY SUNDAY.

SHORT TERM: SEAS ARE EXPECTED TO RISE LATER MONDAY INTO TUESDAY
AS SE WINDS INCREASE. SEAS COULD REACH 6 TO 7 FEET AND A FEW WIND
GUSTS COULD APPROACH 25 KTS. THUS AN SCA REMAINS A STRONG
POSSIBILITY FOR THIS TIME FRAME. FOG IS ALSO EXPECTED TO RETURN
MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY.
