Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Caribou ME
124 PM EDT Thu Sep 3 2020

.SYNOPSIS...
Weak high pressure builds today and tonight while an occluded
front stalls along the coast. A cold front will cross the region
Friday. High pressure will build across the region Saturday then
exit across the Maritimes Sunday. Another cold front could
approach later Monday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
130 PM Update...Timing of showers was backed up using the latest
HRRR guidance. Radar quiet attm, but the HRRR as well as the RAP
do show some showers moving into srn Maine this afternoon and
then spreading n. Slight adjustments to the temps were needed. A
reduction in the dewpoints was needed as some drier had worked
in knocking the readings back a few degrees.

Previous discussion...
Coastal areas will also maintain more cloud cover today with
the stalled front. The fog will creep back inland this evening.
A shortwave riding along the stalled frontal boundary will
arrive late afternoon into the evening with showers and an
isolated thunderstorm. Elevated instabilty is noted, mostly in
coastal Washington County. With PWs over 2 inches, there could
be a brief heavy downpour, but the energy will quickly push
eastward into the Maritimes this evening. Will go for around a
quarter inch of needed rainfall for Lubec and Eastport, while
the ECMWF is indicating even more. Elsewhere, expect another
warm and humid night with lows in the upper 50s to lower 60s.
The dry cold front will enter the NW corner of the forecast area
late tonight without any precip or immediate cold air
advection.

&&

.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
A cold front with limited moisture will cross the region
Friday. Could have a slight chance of showers mostly Downeast
early Friday. Otherwise, expect partly/mostly cloudy skies early
then decreasing clouds during the afternoon in the wake of the
front. High pressure then builds across the region Friday night
through Saturday night. Expect mostly clear skies Friday night.
Generally expect partly sunny skies north, mostly sunny
Downeast, Saturday. However, an upper level disturbance crossing
northern Maine Saturday could also bring a slight chance of
afternoon showers across the north and mountains. Partly cloudy
skies north, mostly clear Downeast, are expected Saturday night.
Temperatures will be at above normal levels in advance of the
cold front Friday, with near normal level temperatures Saturday.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
High pressure will cross the region Sunday, then exit across
the Maritimes late with ridging extending back across the
forecast area. Expect partly sunny skies north, mostly sunny
Downeast Sunday. However, another upper level disturbance
tracking across northern areas could again bring the chance of
afternoon showers across the north and mountains. Significant
uncertainty then exits early next week regarding whether a cold
front is able to cross the region Monday into Tuesday with a
chance of showers, or whether ridging from Maritimes high
pressure will keep dry conditions across the region. Another
possible cold front could begin approach later Wednesday with
partly/mostly cloudy skies along with a slight chance of
showers. Near normal level temperatures are expected Sunday
through Tuesday, with above normal level temperatures Wednesday.

&&

.AVIATION /17Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
NEAR TERM: LIFR cigs/vis will burn off this morning and all
sites are expected to be VFR by mid to late morning. BHB will be
the last site to improve and may only improve to MVFR cigs
today. Fog and low clouds are likely to return to BHB, BGR and
coastal sites tonight, but northern terminals will remain VFR
all night. Embedded thunderstorms are possible towards Machias
and Eastport this evening.

SHORT TERM:
Friday...Generally VFR/MVFR early, then VFR. Could have a chance
of showers early, mostly Downeast. However, IFR/LIFR is also
possible early with low clouds and fog Downeast. Southwest/west
wind gusts 20 to 25 knots.

Friday night through Monday...Generally VFR. Slight chance of
afternoon showers across northern areas Saturday/Sunday.

&&

.MARINE...
NEAR TERM: Fog will continue through the period. Thunderstorms
are possible late today through the evening, mostly towards
coastal Washington County. South winds will remain mostly under
10 kts while south swell up to 4 ft continues into tonight.

SHORT TERM: Winds/seas will remain below small craft advisory
levels Friday through Saturday night. Visibilities will be
reduced in fog Friday. Could also still have a chance of showers
early friday.

&&

.CAR WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
ME...None.
MARINE...None.
