Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Caribou ME
612 AM EDT Fri Jul 3 2020

.SYNOPSIS...
High pressure will build across the area today. A cold front
will begin to cross northern areas Saturday then cross the
remainder of the region Sunday. High pressure will build across
the region later Monday into Tuesday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
6:12 am update: Satellite pictures, observations, and web cams
show that the low clouds have pushed north overnight and now
cover most of the FA. There are some breaks in the clouds across
parts of northern Piscataquis County and northwest Aroostook
County. Made some adjustments to the sky grids for this morning
to increase the cloud cover. Still expect that the clouds will
begin to erode with more breaks of sunshine by late this morning
into early this afternoon. The clouds may hold for much of the
day along the coast. Otherwise, the only change at this time was
to load the past few hours of observed data.

Previous discussion:
A weak ridge of high pressure across northern Maine will slowly
move off into the Maritimes today. The cold front that crossed
the area yesterday will push south of New England today. A weak
surface trough is expected to drop south and into northern Maine
this evening.

Today will feature intervals of clouds and some sunshine and it
will be noticeably less humid. Temperatures will be seasonable
with highs in the 70s, except low to mid 60s along the immediate
coast. As the surface trough drops south into far northern
Maine can't entirely rule out an isolated -shra/-tsra late this
afternoon, and most of the guidance now has some showers late
in the day will add an isolated late day shower into this
evening across the Saint John Valley. Expect a partly cloudy
night with seasonable lows in the 50s. Along the coast and into
the Downeast region there will likely be some late night low
clouds and patchy fog.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
H5 trof remains across the forecast area through the short term
with west to northwest flow aloft persisting Saturday thru
Sunday. A weak upper disturbance/surface trof will cross the
region later Saturday. Moisture will be limited in the northwest
flow aloft, so will only carry slight chance to low chance
pops, mainly across north central portions of the region, where
steepest lapse rates will exist. With little in the way of
surface based CAPE, decided to omit mention of thunder.
Otherwise, expect partly to mostly sunny skies on Saturday.
Highs on Saturday are expected to range from the lower 80s
across the north and lower to mid 70 Downeast. Saturday night
will feature partly cloudy and dry weather conditions. Light
southerly flow may lead to some low stratus and areas of fog
toward the Downeast coast and Penobscot River Valley, with SREF
probabilities hinting at this as well. Sunday is shaping up as a
potentially interesting weather day. An even stronger upper
disturbance and associated cold front will cross the region
during the afternoon. Expect showers and thunderstorms Sunday
afternoon. 0 to 6 km shear increases to 35 to 40 kt but surface
based CAPE looks limited. A few gusty showers or a thunderstorm
cant be totally ruled out though with the passage of the front.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
Temperatures will gradually moderate through the long term
period of the forecast. Upper level ridging will build in for
the early part of the upcoming week. This will bring fair and
mainly dry weather Monday and Tuesday. A warm front will lift up
across the area during mid week with increasing instability and
the chance for showers and thunderstorms. Temperatures are
expected to warm to well above normal levels by later next week.

&&

.AVIATION /10Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
NEAR TERM: IFR conditions have expanded north from BHB to FVE
early this morning. Conditions are expected to improve to VFR by
late morning or early afternoon. Conditions may lower to MVFR
at BHB by late this evening and possibly to IFR late tonight in
lower clouds and patchy fog.

SHORT TERM:

Sat...VFR. Slgt chc afternoon -shra.

Sat Night...VFR North, at KBGR/KBHB IFR in developing low
stratus and areas of fog.

Sun...IFR Downeast early in low clouds/fog, otherwise mainly
VFR conditions in sct -shra/-tsra, with locally sub VFR in any
heavier showers and tstms.

Mon-Tue...VFR.

&&

.MARINE...
NEAR TERM: The wind and seas will remain below small craft advisory
levels through tonight with seas 2 to 4 feet on the coastal
waters and around 2 ft on the intra-coastal waters. A northeast
wind may locally gust to 20 knots at times today with the wind
to turn into the east and diminish to 10 knots or less tonight.
Patchy fog at times, especially this morning and again late
tonight.

SHORT TERM: Winds/seas will remain below SCA levels through most of
the early to mid week period. Visibility will be occasionally
lowered to 1 to 3 NM in areas of fog.
