Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Caribou ME
657 PM EDT Fri Aug 24 2018

.SYNOPSIS...
High pressure will remain across the region into Sunday. A warm
front will lift across the region Sunday night and usher very
warm and humid air into the area Monday and Tuesday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SATURDAY/...
655pm Update...
Smoke has gotten a bit less thick, but still obscuring the sky
some. Increased sky cover for early this evening, but left in the
clear skies after early evening as it appears the upper level
smoke will move east of us.

Added patchy fog along the coast later tonight as some of the
higher resolution models do hint at a bit of fog along the
coast. Fog more likely tomorrow night along the coast, though.

Previous Discussion...
High pressure will remain across the region tonight through
Saturday. The extensive elevated smoke layer which crossed the
region today will move east tonight leaving clear skies across
the forecast area. After a mostly sunny morning, a mostly/partly
sunny afternoon is expected across northern areas Saturday.
Mostly sunny skies are expected Downeast Saturday. Low
temperatures tonight will range through the 50s across northern
areas, with mid to upper 50s Downeast. High temperatures
Saturday will be in the lower to mid 80s across much of the
forecast area, with mid 70s to around 80 along the Downeast
coast.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
On Saturday night, expect one last reasonable cool evening with
lows in the mid to upper 50s as high pressure weakens and
retreats eastward over the Atlantic. Mid and high clouds will
limit lows closer to 60F in northern zones. Some coastal fog is
expected after midnight. For Sunday, high and mid clouds
continue to increase ahead of a warm front and an onshore flow
will limit highs to the lower 80s. The warm front and associated
weakening upper level shortwave will propagate across the region
Sunday night with a few showers and an isolated thunderstorm.
Modest amounts of elevated instability continue to appear in
guidance and have introduced a slight chance of thunder. The
warm front introduces very humid air that should enhance coastal
fog as well as some late night fog in western mountains. For
Monday, morning clouds and fog will dissipate. No cold front is
expected. In the absence of a trigger or moisture, have further
reduced pops and eliminated mention of any showers or
thunderstorms. It will be an uncomfortably warm and humid day
with highs in the mid to upper 80s. Dew points will return to
the mid to upper 60s.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
Another rendition of the powerful Bermuda high will be the focus
of attention Monday night into Wednesday with warm and humid
conditions. This means three days of temperatures in the upper
80s to near 90F for Bangor and unpleasant humidity. Heat indexes
will be above 90F around Bangor each day, but do not anticipate
advisories at this time. Records look unlikely for Bangor given
a big heat wave in 1948 that generated upper 90s over the same
three day stretch.  Big changes will occur late Wednesday with
a strong cold front that will provide much cooler and less humid
air for the latter portion of the week. During the reign of the
Bermuda high, there are still some uncertainties regarding a
cold front that approaches the Saint John Valley Monday night
into Tuesday morning and then lifts back northward later Tuesday
into Tuesday night. The general trend continues to nudge this
boundary further north with each model run, but GEMS and GEFS
haven't let go of the threat. As a result, have maintained some
clouds and pops in northern zones Monday night into Tuesday
night, but did continue to raise highs for Tuesday. Lows on
Monday and Tuesday night will be in the upper 60s...and even
some lower 70s for Tuesday night. Wednesday will be the last hot
day with all areas seeing mid to upper 80s ahead of the cold
front. While some parameters aren't too impressive at this time
for thunderstorms on Wednesday, the air mass change is
compelling and have added a chance of thunderstorms. The cooler
and less humid air sweeps into the area Wednesday night into
Thursday...and persists through Friday.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
NEAR TERM: VFR conditions are expected across the region
tonight through Saturday. Can't rule out patchy fog after
midnight along the coast, though don't have enough confidence to
put in the TAF for KBHB.

SHORT TERM: Fog may affect BGR, BHB and coastal locations later
Saturday night into early Sunday morning. The pattern will recur
Sunday night, but could be thicker and more persistent into
Monday morning. Isolated thunderstorms are possible Sunday
night with a warm front. A very humid air mass Monday into
Wednesday will make nocturnal fog a possibility until a strong
cold front moves through later Wednesday with possible
thunderstorms.

&&

.MARINE...
NEAR TERM: Winds/seas will remain below small craft advisory
levels tonight through Saturday.

SHORT TERM: Fog is expected to develop Saturday night into
Sunday morning. The fog will return Sunday night through Monday
morning. Fog may persist Monday afternoon into Wednesday with a
very humid air mass, but confidence is not high enough to inset
into the forecast now. A cold front later Wednesday into
Wednesday night may generate just enough winds and seas to
produce SCA conditions.
