Area Forecast Discussion

414 PM EDT Wed Aug 15 2018

.SYNOPSIS...
A cold front will move across the region through this evening.
High pressure from the west will approach late tonight and
thursday and cross the region Thursday night. Low pressure from
the great lakes will cross the region later Friday through
Saturday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY/...
Strong to severe storms are tracking across the CWA this
evening, mainly along a line from Katahdin to Limestone, but
other scattered storms are noted up by the St. John Valley and
into southern Piscataquis. Heavy rain remains the main threat,
though storms have shown good vertical development so strong
winds are not out of the question. Several SVRs and flood
advisories have been issued so far. This activity will
generally continue to the southeast through the evening, and
should gradually diminish between sunset and midnight.

Drier air will work in overnight into Thu, though some clouds
will likely linger into Thu AM before clearing. Would expect the
chance for some fog for coastal Downeast and the offshore
waters tonight, until the front comes through around sunrise and
helps clear it out. Highs may reach into the lower 80s for
Downeast and the lower Penobscot Valley, with mid to upper 70s
for the northern half of the CWA.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
Fair conditions Thu ngt and Fri morn will give way to increasing
cldnss Fri aftn as low pres from the lower great lks apchs.
Shwrs and gnrl rnfl will ovrsprd the FA from the WSW Fri ngt
and cont into erly sat morn before tapering to sct shwrs late
Sat morn and ending from NW to SE Sat aftn. Attm, it looks like
the heaviest rnfl upwards of 1.00 to 1.50 inches from this
system will be across Cntrl and Downeast areas where there could
be embedded tstms with hvy rnfl. N of the track of the sfc low
across the Nrn areas of the FA, sig lesser rnfl amts are xpctd.

Clrg skies, cooler temps, and drier conditions are xpctd Sat
ngt. Temps will be abv normal Fri and Fri ngt, then slightly
below avg Sat and Sat ngt.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
Fair conditions and seasonal to abv seasonal temps are xpctd Sun
thru Tue. The next chc of sig rnfl will be Tue ngt into Wed as
another low pres system from the midwest/lower great lks area
apchs the Rgn.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
NEAR TERM: Generally VFR conditions are noted across the CWA,
but numerous thunderstorms are causing localized reductions to
MVFR or IFR conditions, along with the expected turbulence
issues. As the storms die down after 00z, most areas should
return to persistent VFR conditions. Exception may be KBHB,
where fog and/or low stratus may bring a reduction to IFR or
perhaps even LIFR overnight. A front pushing through later
tonight should clear out any fog and low stratus by Thu AM.

SHORT TO LONG TERM: Mainly VFR Thu ngt and Fri with clgs and
vsbys lowering to MVFR/IFR in rn ovrngt Fri into Sat morn.
Conditions improve back to VFR Fri aftn and cont so thru Mon.
