Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Caribou ME
1050 AM EDT Sun Oct 15 2017

.SYNOPSIS...
A strong cold front will move across the area later tonight.
High pressure will build across the region from the west Monday
into Tuesday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
1020 AM Update: The biggest chg this update was to xtnd the wind
adv from the coast to all of the fcst area for this eve thru the
ovrngt hrs. Models have increased winds alf by 5kt or so for
this tm frame from ystdy's guidance, so would rather be safe.
With lmtd mixing potential, the best areas to obsv wind gusts
at or greater than 40 mph will be ovr open...high trrn. Also,
strong wind gusts will be intermittent, most likely occurring
with stronger rn bands ahead of the front this eve across the N
hlf of the Rgn and with the frontal passage ovrngt. Also,
higher trrn alg the immediate coast is subject to 40+ mph gusts
anytime this eve into the ovrngt.

Otherwise, fcst PoPs tdy and eve were re-done based on fcst 6
hrly QPFs with updates to fcst hrly temps, dwpts, and cld cvr
thru the aftn based on latest sfc obs and sat imagery, with no
chgs to fcst hi temps attm.

Orgnl Disc: Strong wind gusts expected this afternoon into
tonight.

A warm front is lifting n attm per the latest analysis. Temps
have cooled down n of the boundary, but temps behind the front
have started warming. Fog was prevalent across portions of the
region, mainly across the coast and northern locations. Radar
showed rain pushing ne into w and nw areas. This will overspread
ne areas later this morning. Winds will turn to the sse and
increase this morning after sunrise. This will help to lift the
fog. Majority of the rain will be across the northern 1/2 of the
CWA today w/southern areas staying mostly dry. The region looks
like it gets into a warm sector as the warm front lifts to the
border. Stayed close to the daycrew's assessment of temps
shooting well into the 60s and possibly lower 70s especially
w/any sun. The NAM and RAP guidance showed 925 mbs temps hitting
18-20c by late afternoon. Sounding data showed llvl destabilizing
some especially across the far n and nw this afternoon into the
evening. PWATs forecast to hit 1/5" w/strong shear of 50 kts at
0-6km. MUCAPE of 200 joules could be enough to allow for some
isolated convection. 925mb jet of 50 kt noted on the soundings
and any convection could allow for some of this wind to get
translated down the surface. Decided to include isolated tstms
in the forecast for the afternoon & evening. Further s, 925mbs
jet of 50 kt noted for the Downeast coast w/a decent alignment
of the wind field through 700 mbs. Therefore, strong wind gusts
to 50 mph expected for Hancock and Washington County coast.
Decided to issue a Wind Advisory for these coastal counties
through midnight.

Tonight, the cold front is forecast move across the region w/the
strong wind threat continuing into the evening. It will be quite
warm in the evening and a heavy band of rain possible given the
high PWATS mainly across the north. Temps will be falling back
well after midnight w/the cold fropa and winds veering to the
wnw. Temps by sunrise Monday morning are expected to be in the
low to mid 40s n and w while further s, temps are expected to be
in the low to mid 50s.

&&

.SHORT TERM /MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
Strong NW winds behind the cold front and cold air advection
will be primary issues for Monday. Gusts will likely reach over
30 mph in the morning, but decrease in the afternoon. Highs will
probably occur first thing in the morning with temperatures
remaining steady through the rest of the day. NW winds continue
Monday night as high pressure builds. Lows will drop into the
upper 20s to lower 30s...except some lower 20s in the Allagash
by early Tuesday morning. High pressure will crest over the area
Tuesday with sunny skies, but highs will remain in the upper 40s
north to lower 50s for Bangor and the Down East region. An
occluded front will cross Tuesday night with some scattered
showers towards Aroostook County, but no appreciable rainfall
amounts. Lows will be nearly 10 degrees warmer than Monday night
due to frontal clouds and warm advection.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
High pressure will dominate through the period. Wednesday and
Thursday will feature a warming trend with a SW surface flow
ahead of an occluded front that will move through the area late
Thursday. This front will bring little or no precip and minimal change
in temperatures after its passage. Highs will be in the upper
50s to lower 60s for most of the region Thursday into Saturday.

&&

.AVIATION /15Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
NEAR TERM: IFR conditions across KCAR and KPQI this morning
while the rest of the terminals are VFR. Expecting conditions to
deteriorate to MVFR later this morning. Conditions across the
area expected to improve to VFR by late afternoon, and then
conditions will drop to MVFR w/passage of the cold front. LLWS
expected this afternoon into tonight.

SHORT TERM: Predominately VFR conditions are
expected with excellent vis. Strong NW winds gusting as high as
30 mph on Monday will be the biggest hazard during the period
Monday into Thursday.

&&

.MARINE...
NEAR TERM: SCA remains in place as s winds increase to 25 kt by
later this afternoon into tonight. Gusts to 35 kt are expected
especially over the outer waters. Winds are expected to veer to
the wnw later tonight w/speeds holding 20-25 kts. Seas will
build to 7 to 11 ft by tonight.

SHORT TERM: SCA conditions will wind down Monday night. A
marginal SCA is possible Tuesday night. Another SCA is possible
Thursday into Thursday night.
