  and know how to perform rescues.

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Caribou ME
102 PM EDT Thu Sep 13 2018

.SYNOPSIS...
High pressure will remain across the region through the weekend.
&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
Update...
Clear skies remain except in coastal Hancock where scattered cu
fields exist. Fog development will be the primary challenge for
tonight. Coastal zones, river valleys and lakes will all receive
some degree of fog...mostly after midnight.

Previous Discussion...
Surface high pressure will build across the region today
through tonight. An upper level disturbance will cross the Gulf
of Maine early today. A Dense Fog Advisory has been issued for
northern and central portions of the region until 9 AM where
mostly clear skies along with light winds and low level moisture
have supported the development of areas of dense fog,
particularly in valley locations. Otherwise, mostly sunny skies
are expected across northern and central areas today. The
disturbance crossing the Gulf of Maine will bring partly/mostly
cloudy skies Downeast early this morning, with mostly sunny
skies this afternoon. Areas of fog are also possible Downeast
early this morning. Mostly clear skies are expected across the
entire forecast area tonight, with patchy fog again possible.
High temperatures today will range from around 80 to the lower
80s across much of the forecast area, with mid to upper 70s
along the Downeast coast. Low temperatures tonight will range
from the upper 40s to lower 50s north, to the lower to mid 50s
Downeast. A High Surf Advisory remains in effect along the
Downeast coast today into Friday afternoon.
&&

.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
Strong high pressure is expected to remain over the region
Friday then gradually weaken Saturday as a cold front moves down
from the north. This front may produce some isolated showers
Saturday, especially in the north. High pressure will build back
across the northeast Sunday. Highs will be near 80 with lows in
the 40s and 50s.
&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
High pressure will move eastward into the Atlantic later Sunday.
Low pressure will approach from the southwest Monday and bring
rain to the region Tuesday into Wednesday. A cold front is then
expected to move across the state later Wednesday with a colder
air mass moving in behind it.
&&

.AVIATION /18Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
NEAR TERM: Variable conditions will occur with any fog early
this morning, then again later tonight. Otherwise, VFR
conditions are expected today through tonight.

SHORT TERM: Expect VFR conditions Friday through Monday.
&&

.MARINE...
9am update...Extended the SCA for Hazardous Seas until 2 pm
Friday as long period SE swell around 5 to 6 feet will continue
into Friday afternoon.

NEAR TERM: A Small Craft Advisory for Hazardous Seas remains in
effect for much of the waters, with the exception of the
intracoastal waters, today into tonight. Visibilities will be
reduced in fog this morning. A High Surf Advisory remains in
effect along the Downeast coast today into Friday afternoon.

SHORT TERM: Have blended the Nam and Gfs for winds. For waves:
The primary wave systems through the weekend will be
southeasterly long period swell emanating from Hurricane
Florence. The primary wave system will be 2 – 3 feet/10
seconds with a secondary longer period system around 1
foot/14-16 seconds. The long period swell is expected to slowly
subside through the weekend. The long period swell may result in
high surf conditions, rip currents, and shoaling/breaking of
waves in deeper water than usual. Wind wave is expected to
remain below 2 feet. Will use NWPS for waves. Total Water Level:
Will keep anomaly along the coast at 0.00 however continue to
require a bias correction at Bangor at low tide of -1.0 through
the end of the forecast period.&&
