Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Caribou ME
1115 AM EDT Thu Aug 13 2020

.SYNOPSIS...
A secondary cold front will approach late this afternoon and
cross the region this evening. High pressure will build across
the region Friday through this weekend. A front will approach
from the west Monday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
11:15 AM Update
The sky remains mostly clear though some cumulus is starting to
pop across the north and some high clouds are spreading over
central areas. Raised temps a couple degrees. Otherwise, no
major changes this hour.

Previous Discussion... Satellite imagery this morning shows
nearly completely clear skies across the forecast area. A weak
shortwave trough and right entrance region of a 250mb jet streak
will work into northern Maine this afternoon. While the 0z
sounding from CAR shows a strong inversion around 750mb and
substantial dry air aloft, the aforementioned forcing should be
enough for at least a couple isolated showers from near and just
north of Baxter State Park into southern/central Aroostook
County during peak diurnal heating. Thunder is unlikely given
the dry air aloft, inversion around 10,000 feet AGL, and high
freezing levels. Lower dew points and mostly sunny skies will
allow temperatures to warm efficiently into the mid/upper 80s,
approaching yesterday’s highs. A secondary cold front will
move in from the north tonight, reinforcing dry air and cooling
temperatures aloft more than the first front that passed through
yesterday. Lingering moisture around 850mb will lead to just
enough cloud cover to make the low temperature forecast tricky
tonight. A somewhat clearer and cooler solution was preferred,
with the typical cool spots of northern Maine forecast to drop
into the 40s to low 50s.

&&

.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
Sfc hipres building south out of nrn Quebec wl bring mainly tranquil
wx to the CWA thru the end of the week and into the early part of
the weekend. H5 trof wl be dropping thru the state on Friday,
possibly resulting in chance for showers acrs the north drg the aftn
hrs. With fairly light pressure gradient may see a sea breeze dvlp
keeping the coast and outer islands in the 70s for max temps with
interior Downeast zones into the 80s. Cooler H8 temps wl be
filtering in acrs the north and with clds and showers expected with
upr trof nrn zones likely to rmn in the u70s for highs.

Showers wl diminish Fri evng with loss of diurnal htg but clds
likely to linger in nerly flow. Mins wl dip into the u50s acrs the
south and possibly into the u40s over the far northwest.

By Sat morning med range guidance begins to diverge on upr air
pattern with 00z EC/UK closing H5 low off over NB while GFS/CMC
indicating troffing undercutting H5 high set up ovr ern Quebec. Hv
opted to go with continuity with more progressive soln of GFS and
Canadian and continue with nr normal temps on Sat and skies
clouding up fm the east on Sun morning in n-nerly flow.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
Extndd period begins with a rex block over ern half of Maine and NB
per EC while the GFS and CMC are more progressive with trof ejecting
east twd the Maritimes Sun morning with H5 ridge over the state. As
expected this delays pcpn timing for early next week with GFS/CMC
bring showers into the ern half of CWA Mon morning and mvg them out
of the region late Mon night. Due to uncertainly on model solns, hv
contd with chc pops as H5 trof wl set up over the ern half of the
U.S. due to 596 high taking shape over the west early in the week.
Still expecting abv normal temps thru end of the long term.

&&
