Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Gray ME
219 PM EDT Fri Jun 8 2018

.SYNOPSIS...
A cold front will drop south into the region tonight accompanied
by a few spotty mountain showers. High pressure will build into
New England from the west this weekend. This high will then
ease off the coast Monday and Tuesday. A weak area of low
pressure will cross over New England midweek. More Canadian high
pressure to build into the region late in the week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
A mostly clear on tap for most of the forecast area with the
exception of the mountains. Secondary cold front forecast to
drop south into northern zones after midnight with little more
than passing clouds. Can't rule out a stray sprinkle in the
mountains with this moisture starved boundary but have included
some slight chance pops for the early morning hours. Low
temperatures overnight will generally range through the 40s to
near 50 in the far south.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
Weak cold front will push south of the region on Saturday
producing variable clouds through the 1st half of the day.
Otherwise looking for mostly sunny skies with sesonable temps.
Highs will range from the mid 60s to mid 70s north and mid 70s
to lower 80s south.

High pressure building in from the northwest Saturday night will
produce mostly clear skies and light winds. Good radiational
cooling will allow temperatures to drop into the lower to mid
30s in colder mountain valleys in the north and frost advisories
will likely be needed overnight. Elsewhere temperatures will
range through the 40s.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
Relatively dry conditions will persist across Maine and New
Hampshire in the extended portion of the forecast, particularly
for the coastline.

Canadian high pressure will continue to build towards northern
New England on Sunday under a fast northwest and cyclonic flow
aloft. H8 temperatures will gradually be on the rebound during
the day, but still very low for this time of the year. Steep low
level lapse rates may trigger some Cu development.

A seabreeze will likely form during the afternoon hours. This
will prevent temperatures from climbing out of the 70s along the
coast, an in fact, temperatures will likely fall during the
afternoon hours.

On Monday, the surface high will slide southeast over the Gulf
of Maine. This will begin a return flow from the south and
southwest, increasing dew points and relative humidities.
However, we will remain rain free early in the week as the
southwest flow increases. Warm air advection will bring H8
temperatures to around +14C on Tuesday, allowing some areas to
reach the lower 80s during the afternoon hours.

On Wednesday, 12Z guidance suggests a weak are of low pressure
will cross southern Maine and New Hampshire. This will allow for
a few scattered showers, but they will be relatively light with
little precipitation to alleviate our abnormally dry
conditions.

More cool Canadian high pressure will build in for late in the
week. This will prolong our dry spell.

&&

.AVIATION /17Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
Short Term...VFR tonight through Saturday night.

Long Term...Dry airmass through this period suggests a very quiet period
with VFR dominating. Even overnight fog should be at a
minimum...and confined to inland lakes/rivers.

&&

.MARINE...
Short Term...No flags.

Long Term...High pressure will build over the waters Sunday and
into next week. Winds and seas will remain below SCA thresholds. As
this high moves south of the waters Monday night and Tuesday, a
strengthening southwesterly flow suggests the potential for
SCAs...especially in the outer waters to end this period. A
strengthening westerly flow is expected by Thursday.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
Elevated fire weather conditions are possible this weekend as RH
values settle into the 20 to 30 percent range on Saturday,
however winds will be on the light side.

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

* Warm air temperatures are expected Saturday with highs in the
  70s to lower 80s, under relatively light winds and mainly sunny
  skies. This may cause people to underestimate the dangers of
  cold water. Water temperatures are currently in the upper 50s to
  near 60 across Sebago Lake and Lake Winnipesaukee as well as
  the smaller lakes and rivers.

* The cold water temperatures can quickly cause hypothermia to
  anyone immersed in the water. 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!
