Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Gray ME
257 PM EDT Thu Jun 7 2018

.SYNOPSIS...
A cold front will cross the region late tonight and early
Friday bringing a few scattered showers. A secondary cold front
will drop south into the region Friday night. High pressure
will build into New England from the west Saturday through
Sunday. This high will ease off the coast Monday and Tuesday. A
complex frontal system will bring scattered showers to the
region midweek.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
A slow moving cold front will begin to cross central and northern
portions of the forecast area tonight. As with most frontal
passages this spring, this front is relatively moisture starved.
It will produce a few, light and scattered showers for northern
areas tonight.

Thereafter, patchy fog will develop once again, mainly over the
interior valleys, however there will be some fog and stratus
along the coast similar to last night. There will continue to be
a minimal diurnal range with overnight lows mainly in the 50s
overnight.

&&

.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
The cold front will be slow to push off the coast on Friday. It
will pass relatively rain free with the most noticeable change
being a wind shift to the northwest. This will allow for milder
temperatures and an offshore flow, however localized sea breezes
are possible during the day due to the relatively weak gradient
flow. Expect 60s in the north with 70s elsewhere.

A secondary cold front will cross the region Friday night. Once
again this system will be relatively moisture starved with
mesoscale models indicating only a few widely scattered showers
expected over northern areas.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
Canadian high pressure will dominate the weekend in northern New
England with plenty of sun and temperatures at or slightly below
normal. Highs on Saturday will range from the mid 60s to lower
70s in the north and mid 70s to near 80 in the south. Looking
for slightly cooler highs on Sunday as high pressure continues
to build in from the northwest with highs ranging from the mid
60s north to the mid 70s south.

High pressure will crest over the area Sunday night and will
shift offshore south of New England on Monday. Lows overnight
will generally range through the 40s and highs on Monday will
range from the upper 60s north to the upper 70s south.

High pressure will remain parked south of New England Monday
night and Tuesday with return flow bringing warmer air into the
region. High will range from the 70s north to the mid 80s south.
An approaching warm front will bring increasing clouds in the
afternoon but expect a dry day for most of the forecast area
with the exception of northern zones where a late day shower
will be possible.

Warm front lifting north through northern Maine will keep a
chance of showers in the forecast for northern zones Tuesday
night. the remainder of the forecast area will see variable
clouds. Lows will range from the upper 40s to upper 50s.

Cold front will push in from the west on Wednesday with showers
and thunderstorms likely...especially in southern zones during
the afternoon.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
Short Term...MVFR conditions in possibly rain showers tonight
with some stratus and patchy fog expected. Any lowered
visibilities or ceilings will be improving to VFR conditions on
Friday.

Long Term...
VFR Saturday through Tuesday.

&&

.MARINE...
Short Term...SCA for tonight over the outer waters as winds and
seas increase ahead of an approaching cold front. Winds
gradually diminish and switch to the west, southwest on Friday.

Long Term...
No problems noted through Tuesday.

&&

.GYX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
ME...None.
NH...None.
MARINE...Small Craft Advisory from 4 PM this afternoon to 6 AM EDT
