Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Caribou ME
615 PM EDT Fri Jul 31 2020

.SYNOPSIS...
A ridge of high pressure will build in from the west tonight
and cross the area Saturday into early Sunday. Low pressure will
approach Sunday afternoon and lift north of the region on
Monday. A cold front will cross the area Monday night. Isaias
will track off southern New England Tuesday and south of our
area Wednesday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SATURDAY/...
6:15 pm update: Water vapor satellite images show an upper low
across the northern Gulf of Saint Lawrence early this evening.
The flow around this low is producing enough moisture to produce
clouds and isolated showers from around Medway north early this
evening. The showers are expected to dissipate with the loss of
daytime heating, and the clouds will also gradually diminish
this evening. There is still some cyclonic flow around the low
tonight so it is possible that there still could be some clouds
around at times, especially north of the Katahdin Region. Made
some slight modifications to the grids this evening based mostly
on the latest satellite pictures, radar, and surface
observations.

Previous discussion:
The upper trough which has been nearby to the north will slide
off to the northeast tonight. A few isolated showers may be
around early this evening. Otherwise, tonight will turn out
partly cloudy across the north and mostly clear Downeast as high
pressure begins to push in. Saturday will be dry as weak
surface high pressure and upper level ridging build in. We will
be in northwest flow aloft on the back side of the departing
trough. A weak shortwave in the flow may cause an isolated
shower Saturday afternoon across the northeast. Otherwise, the
north will have a few cumulus clouds while Downeast is mostly
sunny.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
Ridge axis will be over the region Sun morning with an increase in
cld cvr expected in the aftn as it builds east. Upr trof wl be
flattening the ridge and showers likely to mv into nwrn areas Sun
evng with main s/wv mvg acrs the area Sun night. Srly flow wl likely
bring marine layer into Downeast coast with potential for fog over
this area Mon morning.  Temps wl likely be abv normal thru the pd
with highest qpf totals expected over the north and west.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
In the long term all eyes will be on Isaias and his eventual
movement along the eastern seaboard. Global models continue to
differ on movement of storm as GFS impacts the state about 18hrs
sooner than EC. For consistency on timing and in collaboration with
GYX hv gone with official fcst from NHC with center of storm in
vicinity of the Gulf of Maine 12z Wed as a post-tropical storm. This
wl likely impact CWA with locally hvy rain, winds and high surf
along with dangerous rip currents off of the Downeast coast.

As Isaias mvs up into the Maritimes expect nw flow to continue in
it's wake with trof bringing chc for showers thru the end of the
week.

&&

.AVIATION /22Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
NEAR TERM:
Tonight: VFR. Light N wind

Saturday: VFR. Light N wind.

SHORT TERM:
Sat night-Sun...VFR with patchy fog early Sun morning. Light S
wind.

Sun night-Tue...MVFR/IFR in showers/tstms. S 5-10kts Sun night
into early Mon, becoming W Mon night.

&&

.MARINE...
NEAR TERM:
Winds and seas will be below SCA tonight and Saturday. Some
drier air pushing down from the north will result in good
visibilities tonight and Saturday.

SHORT TERM: Seas will increase to around 5ft Mon morning and
wind gusts nearing 25kts through the day. Seas will then begin
to build Tue night ahead of Isaias.

&&

.CLIMATE...
This July is very likely to end as the 2nd warmest on record in
Caribou with an average temperature of 69.9 degrees. This is shy
of the all-time record of 70.9F, which was set in 2018. For the
2 month period of June through July it will very likely end as
the warmest on record with an average two month temperature of
67.2F, which is a full degree warmer than 2006. Keep in mind
that this is all preliminary and that weather records in Caribou
began in 1939.
