Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Caribou ME
1246 PM EDT Thu Jun 7 2018

.SYNOPSIS...
A cold front will approach from Quebec this afternoon and cross
the area later tonight. High pressure builds over the region
Friday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
1240 PM Update: Radar activity conts to indicate sct very lgt
shwrs across msly Nrn ptns of the Rgn erly this aftn. No
indication of any tstms and we may be removing this mention on
our next update. Otherwise, no sig chgs to the going fcst this
update.

Orgnl Disc: Warm air advection today will be partially negated
by increasing cloud cover today, but the net result will be
warmer temperatures than yesterday for most of the forecast
area. Highs will be in the 60s except along the coast where
onshore winds and morning low clouds will limit highs into the
50s. A pre- frontal trough along the thermal ridge will be
associated with showers by this afternoon for northern and
western zones. There's some very modest lower level SBCAPE this
afternoon that is not anticipated to bring any thunderstorms as
a warm layer around H600-H500 should cap storms. This
afternoon's showers will generally yield no more than one or tow
tenths of an inch of rain...mostly north of a line from
southern Piscataquis County towards southern Aroostook County.
The mixed layer will be deep enough this afternoon to generate
some gusts as high as 25 mph at times. For tonight, clouds will
remain over the area ahead of a cold front. The cold front and
upper level trough will bring another round of showers later
tonight...mostly north of the Katahdin region. With colder air
aloft, an isolated thunderstorm is possible towards northern
Aroostook County, but the elevated CAPE is not enough to compel
mention of thunderstorms in the forecast for now. All told,
Bangor and coastal Hancock will receive little or no precip from
the frontal system while NE Aroostook could receive up to a
quarter inch by Friday morning. Fog and low clouds are not
expected to return to the coast ahead of the front tonight.

&&

.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
Broad cyclonic flow across the state of Maine Friday night into
Saturday with a weak 500mb shortwave trough expected to set-off
some scattered showers across Northern and Central Maine after
midnight Friday night. Rainfall will be spotty and light with a
general .05" of rain for areas that are hit with a shower. The
beginning of the weekend will be cool for early June with a
northwest wind gradient advecting in a Canadian airmass with
mostly cloudy skies becoming partly cloudy by afternoon. Any
light rain shower or sprinkle will end by mid afternoon, so
overall not a washout by any means to start the weekend.
Clearing Saturday night, with a cool night as most areas drip
into the mid-40s, except for the immediate coast.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
Overall below average temperatures are expected to continue in
the long term with broad cyclonic 500mb flow continuing over the
state. Precipitation will be relatively light with a period of
showers expected around Tuesday, although some spread continues
in regards to this. Forecast confidence is above average that
temperatures will remain below average for this period. Forecast
confidence is lower in regards to rainfall and the sensible
weather forecast due to some model spread in regards to a potent
mid-level low which is progged to drop due south from Quebec
province on Tuesday next week. Most model members have this
feature, but still some good spread on where the center of the
of the 500mb low will track. Just went with some chance pops in
the extended due to timing and track differences with this
feature. High temperatures will general run in the 60s for this
period with lows in the 40s. Bangor region could touch close to
70 on a few days. Some hints at the beginning of a pattern
change from the broad cyclonic flow over the state to a warmer
westerly progressive flow by mid-week. Will see how the pattern
trends over the coming days.

&&

.AVIATION /15Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
NEAR TERM: IFR cigs are expected early this morning towards BGR
and BHB, but will dissolve by mid-morning at the latest...giving
way to VFR conditions. MVFR cigs/vis may affect sites north of
HUL tonight with a cold front.

SHORT TERM: Overall expecting VFR conditions on Friday night at
this time, but could be some tempo MFVR conditions in lower
ceilings as some spotty rain showers move through the state.
This weekend expecting some MVFR cigs on Saturday morning,
before ceiling rise by the afternoon with clearing late in the
day with no impacts to aviation operations expected. VFR
conditions expected Sunday into Monday at this time.

&&

.MARINE...
NEAR TERM: Wind gusts will gradually increase towards 20 kts for
tonight with some 4 to 5 foot seas. This falls short of SCA
criteria and will hold off issuing an advisory.

SHORT TERM: The waters will be relatively calm this weekend with
seas generally in the 2 to 3 foot range with off shore
southwesterly to westerly flow expected after a weak cold front
passage.

...National Weather Service Cold Water Safety Message...

* The warm air temperatures this Friday in the upper 60s to lower
  70s may cause people to underestimate the dangers of the cold water
  temperatures which are currently only in the lower to mid 50s on
  the lakes and rivers.

* The cold water temperatures can quickly cause hypothermia to
  anyone immersed in the water. According to the Maine Warden
  Service, when the water temperature is below 60 degrees, the
  average submerged person could loose dexterity within minutes and
  be unable to accomplish simple tasks. Anyone on small boats,
  canoes or kayaks should plan accordingly if recreating this
  weekend and use extreme caution to avoid this threat. Paddle
  smart from the start and always wear your life jacket!

* Breezy winds are also expected this weekend with gusts up to 25
  mph from the west. If boating on large bodies of water, these
  strong winds can increase the likelihood of overturning your boat,
  canoe or kayak due to increased wave heights.
