Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Caribou ME
109 AM EDT Thu Sep 20 2018
.SYNOPSIS...
High pressure will continue to build in from the northwest overnight
and crest over the area Thursday into Thursday evening. Strong
low pressure will track northwest of the area Friday followed by
a cold front Friday night.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TODAY/...
1am Update...Main change with this update was to raise TAF
ceilings with 0z issuance. See aviation discussion below for
more. Mostly cloudy rest of the night with patchy drizzle.
Orgnl Disc: Cool high pressure will continue to build in from
the northwest tonight. The chilly air in the boundary layer
combined with warm, moist ground will result in a layer of
stratus clouds remaining over much of the region overnight. The
stratus will linger into Thursday morning, especially over the
north. As high pressure crests over the region later in the day
and an upper level ridge builds in ahead of the next system,
some modification in mid level temps may allow clouds to break
up a bit in the afternoon. Temperatures will be cool tonight but
are not expected to drop to freezing with the cloud cover.
Highs Thursday will be close to 60 north and the low 60s
Downeast.
&&
.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
On Thursday night, a 1028mb surface high will be strengthening
to the east of the area as an upper ridge crests over the area
later in the night. Have lowered temperatures to the upper 30s
to lower 40s, but expect high clouds to increase later in the
night...especially after the upper ridge axis crosses. As a
result, do not have high confidence in frost issues. Winds will
start light early Friday morning, but will increase dramatically
by late morning as powerful low pressure in Quebec moves north
of the region. All guidance shows very strong H925-H850 winds
increasing through the day ahead of the cold front that will
cross Friday night. H850 winds may reach 60 to 70 kts. The key
is the mixing depth. Precipitation would reduce mixing, but have
cut back QPF forecasts with the warm front on Friday in line
with the GFS. Without precip, strong winds can continue to mix
up to the frontal inversion Friday afternoon through the time of
frontal passage. Gusts over 50 mph at times are possible. With
leaves on the trees, gusts over 35 mph usually cause problems.
As a result, power outages are a big concern for Friday
afternoon and night. A High Wind Watch will be issued for
northern zones where confidence is highest. Later Friday
afternoon into the evening, elevated instability increases with
an H850 thermal ridge and have added a chance of thunderstorms
with gusty winds. The cold front itself will cross the area
later in the night and will certainly involve strong winds
mixing to the surface on the order of 40 to 50 mph for many
locations. It may be one of those situations that requires
severe thunderstorm products for squall lines...even without
thunder. Temperatures will rise through the night ahead of the
front and fall sharply with the front. Friday's high will be
well after sunset. Saturday will continue to feature strong
gusty northwest winds hitting 35 mph, but these winds will die
off in the afternoon as high pressure builds and skies clear
across the entire area.
&&
.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
High pressure builds Saturday night. With the cold air in place,
frost will be a concern...mostly in the northern half of the
area. A reinforcing cold front arrives later Saturday night or
Sunday morning and will bring the coldest air of the season. A
hard freeze seems likely at this point with a big 1035mb high
building directly over the area overnight. Have introduced
mention of frost in the forecast for Sunday night. Monday will
remain chilly with highs in the 50s , but skies will be clear
with little wind. Another night of frost is a threat Monday
night. The question will be whether how much the upper ridge
amplifies along the east coast on Tuesday. The 19/12Z GFS may be
too fast due to potential blocking in the Atlantic. Once this
ridge finally moves east, a more active pattern emerges for mid
to late next week as a deep upper trough digs over the
Midwestern US. This will bring increasing pops, temperatures
and dew points Tuesday night into Wednesday.
&&
.AVIATION /06Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
NEAR TERM: Changed all TAFs except KFVE from MVFR to low VFR
with 6z issuance. Ceilings have come up some over all but along
the Central Highlands, partially thanks to downsloping off the
New Brunswick highlands. Although TAF sites may briefly dip to
MVFR, think that predominately VFR ceilings can be expected
tonight into Thursday.
SHORT TERM: VFR conditions are expected to be the predominant
condition Thursday night into Sunday. The exception will be MVFR
cigs Friday afternoon and Friday night with isolated
thunderstorms. The biggest aviation hazard will be strong
southerly surface winds and LLWS late Friday morning through
Friday night. Gusty northwest winds will occur behind a cold
front on Saturday morning.
&&
.MARINE...
NEAR TERM: Winds and seas will remain below SCA today and
tonight. However, a few gusts from the northeast may reach 25
kt over the offshore waters tonight. Winds will diminish on
Thursday as the high builds over.
SHORT TERM: The strongest SCA...and potentially a gale Friday
night...emerges for Friday afternoon into Saturday. In
coordination with GYX, will hold off on headlines for now. Winds
and seas will abate from Saturday morning until increasing again
later Tuesday next week.
