Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Caribou ME
1208 AM EDT Sun Aug 20 2017

.SYNOPSIS...
An occluded front will cross the area this evening. High
pressure will build south of the region Sunday into Monday.
Low pressure will track northwest of the region Tuesday through
early Wednesday drawing a cold front across the region
Wednesday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY/...
12:09 AM Update...Low clouds blanket the CWA early this morning
along with patchy fog and drizzle. Area radars show scattered
showers moving across the region to the north of Bangor as a
frontal system works across the area. Updated the hourly
forecast elements overnight based on the latest observations,
radar trends, and near term model trends. Noted that much of the
guidance now has some showers across northern areas into Sunday
afternoon, so will examine this closely and may have to extend
the chance of showers for a few hours later into the day.

.Previous discussion. Low stratus remains across the area and
will bring a mostly cloudy night tonight as a weak occlusion
moves through. Some spotty showers are possible with the
occlusion, mainly over central and northern areas. Otherwise,
skies will just remain mostly cloudy. Patchy fog may form in the
moist air overnight. However, toward morning the gradient will
become westerly behind the occlusion and this should be enough
to mix out the fog early in the morning. Skies will then become
partly cloudy across the north on Sunday and mostly sunny
Downeast with a warm and humid airmass in place.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
High pressure will build south of the area Sunday night through
Monday night. Expect partly cloudy/mostly clear skies north with
mostly clear skies Downeast Sunday night. Mostly sunny skies will
occur across the entire region Monday morning. A cold front
will be crossing Quebec province Monday afternoon with showers
and thunderstorms in advance of the front. Skies will become
partly sunny across northern areas Monday afternoon with the
slight chance of a shower or thunderstorm late across northwest
areas. Skies will remain mostly sunny across central and
Downeast areas Monday afternoon. The cold front will approach
northern Maine later Monday night. The remnants of convection to
the west could bring a chance of showers to northern areas
early Monday night, with a chance of showers late in advance of
the approaching cold front. Otherwise, expect increasing clouds
across northern and central areas Monday night with mostly
clear/partly cloudy skies Downeast. The front stalls in the
vicinity of northern Maine Tuesday while low pressure tracks
northeast from the Great Lakes across Quebec province. However,
exactly where the front stalls is still uncertain. The front and
approaching low will help focus increasing shower and
thunderstorm chances across northern areas Tuesday afternoon.
Across central and Downeast areas expect generally partly sunny
skies Tuesday with a chance of mostly afternoon showers and
thunderstorms inland from the coast. Temperatures will be at
above normal levels Monday. Near normal, to slightly above
normal, level temperatures are expected across northern areas
Tuesday with above normal level temperatures Downeast.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
The low will track northwest of, or across, northern Maine
Tuesday night through early Wednesday drawing the stalled
frontal boundary back north in the form of a warm front.
Showers/thunderstorms, most numerous across northern areas, will
occur across the region Tuesday night. The low will draw a cold
front across the region Wednesday with showers/thunderstorms in
advance of the front. The front exits across the maritimes
Wednesday night. An upper level trof approaches from the west
Thursday with a disturbance possibly lifting across the region
in advance of the front. Will have a slight chance of diurnal
showers across mostly the north and mountains Thursday.
Otherwise, expect partly sunny skies north with partly/mostly
sunny skies Downeast Thursday. The upper trof remains across the
region Friday/Saturday while several disturbances rotate
through the trof. Surface high pressure builds toward the region
later Saturday. Generally expect partly cloudy skies across the
region Friday/Saturday though will also keep the slight chance
of diurnal showers across mostly the north and mountains. Near
normal level temperatures are expected Wednesday. Near normal,
to slightly below normal, level temperatures are expected
Thursday through Saturday.

&&

.AVIATION /04Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
NEAR TERM: IFR and at times LIFR conditions in low clouds
are expected overnight. Conditions should improve to MVFR then
VFR Sunday morning as low clouds clear following a frontal
passage.

SHORT TERM: VFR conditions are expected across the region Sunday
night/Monday. Occasional MVFR conditions are expected across
northern areas Monday night, with VFR conditions across the rest
of the region. MVFR/IFR conditions will develop across northern
areas Tuesday, with occasional MVFR conditions possible
Downeast with developing showers/thunderstorms. MVFR to LIFR
conditions are expected across the entire region Tuesday night
into Wednesday with showers and thunderstorms.

&&

.MARINE...
NEAR TERM: Winds and seas are expected to remain below SCA
overnight and Sunday although a few wind gusts out of the west
may approach 25 kt over the offshore waters on Sunday. Fog will
limit visibilities on the waters tonight. Visibilities should
improve on Sunday.

SHORT TERM: Winds/seas are expected to remain below small craft
advisory levels Sunday night through Tuesday.
