AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CARIBOU ME
350 PM EDT FRI JUN 29 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
A SERIES OF DISTURBANCES WILL CROSS THE REGION  THROUGH THE
WEEKEND KEEPING UNSETTLED CONDITIONS ACROSS THE AREA.
&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SATURDAY/...
CONVECTION IS STARTING TO FIRE UP ACROSS EXTREME NORTHWEST MAINE
AS OF LATE THIS AFTERNOON IN ADVANCE OF AN APPROACHING SHORT WAVE
ACROSS SOUTHWEST QUEBEC. STILL EXPECTING CONVECTION TO CONTINUE TO
DEVELOP ACROSS NORTHWEST MAINE AND EVENTUALLY PROGRESS EASTWARD
INTO THE REMAINDER OF NORTHERN MAINE AS THE SHORT WAVE CONTINUES
TO MOVE EAST. WILL CONTINUE TO MENTION GUSTY WINDS AND SMALL HAIL
WITH ANY THUNDERSTORMS. STILL APPEARS THE GREATEST THREAT WILL BE
ACROSS FAR NORTHERN MAINE WITH LESSER CHANCE THE FURTHER SOUTH
WHERE THINGS APPEAR A LITTLE MORE STABLE. ANY CONVECTION SHOULD
DIMINISH LATER THIS EVENING WITH PARTLY TO MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES
EXPECTED. LOW TONIGHT WILL BE IN THE UPPER 50S TO LOWER 60 ACROSS
THE REGION.

EXPECT PARTLY TO MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES TO START OUT THE DAY ON
SATURDAY. HOWEVER...ANOTHER ROUND OF SHOWERS AND SCT THUNDERSTORMS
ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP ONCE AGAIN DURING SATURDAY AFTERNOON AS
THE NEXT UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE APPROACHES THE REGION. ANY
CONVECTION SHOULD MAINLY BE NORTH OF A CLAYTON LAKE TO HOULTON
LINE. HIGHS ON SATURDAY WILL RANGE FROM THE UPPER 70S TO LOWER 80S
NORTH AND LOW TO MID 80S DOWNEAST...BUT COOLER ALONG THE COAST.
&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
CONVECTION IN NORTHERN ZONES...NORTH OF HOULTON...IS EXPECTED
GRADUALLY WIND DOWN BEFORE MIDNIGHT AS THE COLD FRONT SLOWLY
CROSSES THE STATE. LOWS WILL BE IN THE UPPER 50S TO LOW 60S. FOG
IS AN OUTSIDE POSSIBILITY FOR THESE ZONES DEPENDING ON HOW MUCH
RAIN FALLS AS WINDS WILL BE LIGHT AND SKIES WILL CLEAR. THE OTHER
VARIABLE WILL BE WHETHER NOCTURNAL THUNDERSTORMS FORM TOWARDS THE
COAST AS THE FRONT WILL ALIGN ITSELF ALONG THE DOWN EAST COAST BY
DAYBREAK SUNDAY. THE COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO HAVE MOVED JUST
SOUTH OF THE STATE FOR SUNDAY. THIS MEANS A GENERALLY DRY DAY WITH
NORTHWEST FLOW. THE DRY NW FLOW CONTINUES FOR SUNDAY NIGHT WITH
LOWS DROPPING INTO THE MID TO UPPER 50S. AN UPPER TROUGH CROSSES
THE AREA MONDAY AND WILL PRODUCE ANOTHER ROUND OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS. HIGHS WILL REACH THE MID TO UPPER 70S. THE SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE INTO THE EVENING.
&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
THE UPPER TROUGH IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN IN THE AREA FOR TUESDAY.
THIS MEANS THE THREAT OF INSTABILITY LINGERS FOR THE AFTERNOON
INTO THE EARLY EVENING. WHILE SKIES SHOULD CLEAR FOR TUESDAY NIGHT
AND ALLOW LOWS IN THE LOW TO MID 50S...ANOTHER SHORTWAVE RACES
TOWARDS THE FORECAST AREA WEDNESDAY. THIS SYSTEM WILL PROVIDE A
CLOUDY DAY WITH SHOWERS AND POSSIBLY AN AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORM.
THIS SYSTEM WILL GRADUALLY DEPART THURSDAY EVENING AND HIGH
PRESSURE IS EXPECTED TO BUILD FRIDAY. HIGHS DURING THE PERIOD ARE
EXPECTED TO BE IN THE MID 70S TO NEAR 80F AND LOWS WILL BE IN THE
UPPER 50S TO NEAR 60F.
&&

.AVIATION /20Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...

KPQI...KHUL THROUGH EARLY THIS EVENING. CONDITIONS SHOULD
