Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Caribou ME
1113 AM EDT Tue May 1 2018

.SYNOPSIS...
Upper level low pressure will slide to the southeast overnight
and Tuesday as a ridge of high pressure builds onto the East
Coast. The high to our south will push warmer air across our
region on Wednesday. Low pressure will track north the area
Wednesday evening.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
1110 am update. Update to remove patchy fog from the crown of
Maine. Lowered max temp for northern Aroostook County by 3
degrees. Made minor adjustments to skycon and minor adjustments
to hourly temperatures, otherwise previous forecast remains on
track.

Original Discussion...
The very annoying upper-level cut-off low that has plagued us
for the past day or two will finally depart to the east today.
After a cloudy start to the day (and some patchy fog up north),
conditions will improve in the afternoon with partly to mostly
sunny skies expected over the CWA.

Some renewed cloudiness is forecast for tonight as a trough or
weak warm front associated with a low sliding by north of the
St. Lawrence Valley moves in from Quebec. This feature may be
accompanied by some light rain showers, but as of now POPs were
limited to 30 percent, mainly across the Central Highlands and
North Woods.

Highs will likely be right around seasonal norms, ranging from
the mid 50s to around 60, but if there is more sunshine than
currently forecast, temps could be a few degrees higher.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
A strong ridge of high pressure both surface and aloft will build
onto the east coast Tuesday night. A return flow behind this ridge
will begin to push warmer air into our area on west, southwesterly
winds overnight into Wednesday. This will set the stage for the
warmest day so far this year on Wednesday with highs in the upper
70s Downeast to the upper 60s across the north. A frontal boundary
nearby to the north could make temperature and cloud cover
forecasting a bit challenging over the far north. A small low in the
fast moving west to east flow north of the upper ridge will quickly
approach the north late Wednesday afternoon. Differential advection
including southwesterly winds near the surface and westerly winds
aloft could produce instability ahead of this low. Soundings are
showing cape up to 500 J/KG on the NAM and 100 J/KG on the GFS
across the north Wednesday afternoon. A chance of thunderstorms will
be introduced in the forecast across the north late Wednesday
afternoon. Any storms could produce gusty winds from strong winds
aloft being transfered to the surface. Otherwise, some rain will be
likely across the north Wednesday evening with dry and mild weather
across the south. The frontal boundary will push south a bit late
Wednesday night into Thursday leaving Thursday mostly cloudy with a
chance for more showers across the whole area.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
Some showers will be likely Downeast Thursday evening as the front
pushes south across the region. The front should continue south
Thursday night allowing the sky to clear as a small area of high
pressure pushes in. Friday should then begin sunny and tranquil
before the next fast moving low approaches from the west. Clouds
will quickly increase from south to north through the midday Friday
and rain will spread across the area during the early afternoon
Downeast and late afternoon across the north. A thunderstorm is
possible Downeast late Friday afternoon or early Friday evening. The
low will quickly lift northwest of the area late Friday night as
drier air returns. This will give way to a breezy day on Saturday
with sunshine Downeast and partial sunshine across the north. Dry
weather should persist into Sunday and Monday as high pressure
builds over.

&&

.AVIATION /15Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
NEAR TERM: IFR to LIFR CIGs have been noted across all TAF
sites in Aroostook County early this morning, with IFR to
occasionally LIFR visibility noted in areas of mist and fog, as
well. Visibility is expected to improve across the northern
sites between 11z and 13z, but the IFR CIGs may hang on for a
couple hours longer. Improvement to VFR CIGs is expected by
around 18z. Another period of MVFR to locally IFR CIGs is
possible for KHUL to KFVE later tonight. VFR to MVFR conditions
are occurring for KBGR and KBHB this morning, and should
continue through the period.

SHORT TERM: VFR conditions Tuesday evening may lower to IFR
across the north and MVFR Downeast as low clouds in warm
advection move into the area. This will give way to VFR
conditions Downeast and MVFR conditions over the north on
Wednesday, possibly dropping to IFR in lower clouds, showers and
perhaps a thunderstorm over the north Wednesday afternoon.
Conditions should return to MVFR over the north and VFR Downeast
Wednesday night. MVFR conditions are expected Thursday,
possibly dropping to IFR in showers across the area Thursday
night. Conditions should return to VFR late Thursday night into
Friday morning then drop to IFR from south to north in rain
Friday afternoon into Friday evening. A return to VFR is likely
late Friday night into Saturday.

&&

.MARINE...
NEAR TERM: Light winds will persist through midday, before
turning more SW'ly this afternoon and increasing to 10 to 15
knots. Seas should remain generally in the 2 to 4 foot range
through tonight.

SHORT TERM: Winds may approach SCA late Wednesday through
Thursday evening in westerlies, south of low pressure tracking
through the north. High pressure should then bring light winds
late Thursday night into Friday morning. A SCA may be needed
Friday afternoon through Friday night as a new low tracks across
the north. South winds ahead of the low will likely result in
seas building well over 5 ft across the offshore waters.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
Flood warnings remain in effect for the Mattawamkeag River
above Mattawamkeag, the Fish River just south of Fort Kent, and
the Saint John River at Fort Kent. The Fish River at Fort Kent
is over flood stage and expected to crest this afternoon or
evening near or just above moderate flood stage. All the lakes
in Northern Aroostook County are running high with flood
advisories issued due to minor flooding of service roadways and
lake camp/house basement flooding. Elsewhere across northern
Maine, rivers will continue to run very high and fast this week
due to the recent rain and snowmelt.
