Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Caribou ME
910 PM EDT Fri Jun 26 2020

.SYNOPSIS...
An upper low will move slowly south across the region with a
series of disturbances this weekend into early next week. High
pressure approaches the region late next week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SATURDAY/...
9:10 pm update: Thunderstorms have exited into New Brunswick
with nothing more than a couple of isolated showers extending
from central Penobscot County south into Hancock County. Expect
a clear to partly cloudy sky overnight, except along the coast
where there will be lower clouds and patchy fog overnight. It is
possible that the lower clouds may lift about as far north as
southern Aroostook County toward daybreak. Temperatures will be
seasonable for late June with lows mostly in the 50s. The main
update at this time was to make some minor adjustments to the
PoPs for late this evening based on the latest radar trends.

Previous discussion:
Activity will weaken and wind down after 9 PM w/the best
forcing pushing e. The RAP keeps some precip along eastern
Washington Co a bit longer into late evening(near midnight).
Will need to expand the precip chances a while loner to cover
this potential. Temps will cool down into the 50s w/some fog
expected overnight, especially along the coast and in areas that
received rainfall. A Beach Hazard Statement remains in effect
for the coast until 9 PM. Another item to note is that Caribou
reached 80F. This sets a record for the 11th consecutive day
with a high temperature of 80 degrees or warmer in Caribou.

Another upper level disturbance w/a sfc trof is forecast to
slide across the region on Saturday, while a weak sfc low is
shown by the 12Z NAM and GFS to move out of NYS and across
southern New England. Both set of guidance show two areas of
rainfall w/one area moving across northern areas. The
instability looks to be highest across northern and northwest
Maine during the afternoon. CAPE values of no more than 600
joules. Shear appears to be weak and lapse rates are marginal.
Decided to leave the mention of tstms in the forecast, but
expectation for anything strong is low. The system to the s
gracing the coast w/the best convergence and forcing remain to
the s. Decided to add slight chance for showers along the coast.
Daytime temps will be a tad cooler than they have been, but
comfortable.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
Saturday night the forecast area will remain south of the 500
MB low centered across Eastern Quebec province. This keeps the
forecast area in a west flow aloft. A pair of short waves, one
across the crown of Maine, and another to our south, cross the
region overnight. Much of the region remains dry Saturday night,
but there will be the chance of showers, mainly across the
north Saturday evening.

Sunday through Monday, the 500 MB low across eastern Quebec
drops southwestward across northern New England and then remains
through Sunday night. This pattern keeps the weather unsettled
through the period. Expect the chance for showers and
thunderstorms Sunday and the chance for showers Sunday night.

The upper low continues to meander across or just to our west on
Monday. This keeps the continued chance for showers across the
region.

Temperatures this period will actually average a bit below
normal for a change, after our string of above normal
temperatures.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
The 500 MB low will be the dominant weather feature through mid
week. Unsettled weather is expected right through mid week. For now,
have kept chances for showers and mainly isolated afternoon
thunderstorms through the mid week period, although it certainly
will not be raining all the time. Drier weather will return
toward the end of the week as temperatures start to once again
rise to above normal levels by the end of the week.

&&

.AVIATION /01Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
NEAR TERM: Generally VFR into Saturday w/a period of MVFR and
perhaps IFR in patchy low clouds/fog at BHB and BGR late
tonight. VFR Saturday, but with brief MVFR possible in any
afternoon showers.

SHORT TERM: VFR expected most of the period, although periods
of MVFR are possible in any showers through the period.

&&

.MARINE...
NEAR TERM: The wind and seas will remain well below small craft
advisory levels into Saturday. Fog will be nuisance to mariners
once again overnight into Sat morning.

SHORT TERM: Winds/seas will be below SCA levels through the
period.

&&

.CLIMATE...
Today, June 26, 2020, marked the 11th consecutive day with a high
of 80 degrees (F) or warmer in Caribou, Maine. This breaks the
record for the most consecutive days with a high of 80 degrees or
warmer in Caribou. The old record of 10 days was from August
14-23, 2015. Weather records in Caribou date back to 1939.

&&
