Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Caribou ME
138 PM EDT Fri Jun 12 2020

.SYNOPSIS...
A secondary cold front will cross the area tonight followed by
a weak upper low on Sunday. Canadian high pressure then builds
from the north Monday through Tuesday then slowly moves south of
the region Wednesday and Thursday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
140 pm update...
Cu conts to develop over the North Woods with mosunny skies
elsewhere. This has allowed temps to warm into the m/u 70s
though nw zones in the lwr 70s as clouds arrived early. SCAPE of
a couple hundred joules exists acrs the northwest with
convection mvg in fm Quebec in RRQ of upr level jet. Suspect as
forcing conts due to jet streak and diurnal htg that nrn zones
wl see thunder chcs increase throughout the aftn with biggest
threat being gusty winds as low-lvl lapse rates steepen. No chgs
were needed with this update.

Previous Discussion:
A second surface cold front will approach the area during the
evening, providing another lifting mechanism to maintain showers
for at least a few hours after sunset. Patchy fog is possible
once again closer to the coast, mainly prior to the frontal
passage around or just after sunrise early Saturday morning.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
Sat looks to be cooler, drier, and somewhat breezy behind a
secondary cold front. Sat ngt and Sun, a weak upper low will
move NE from Nrn NY state toward Nrn ME with left ovr upper
troffiness lingering ovr the FA into Sun eve. This will bring
some cldnss alg with isold to sct shwrs to the Rgn spcly late
Thu morn into aftn. Cannot rule out a rumble or two of thunder,
but with little in the way of SBCAPE, felt hard pressed to add
thunder to the fcst attm, spcly considering that sfc-BL dwpts
may end up less than we show durg this tm. Most, if not all of
the shwrs should slowly dissipate Sun eve as the upper trof
lifts out to the NE and sfc hi pres begins to build from the NW,
allowing for clrg skies late Sun ngt and some potential for
radiational cooling for msly Nrn Vlys. Only coldest lctns may
possibly reach upper 30s by erly Mon morn, so no frost
anticipated late Sun ngt, at least from this fcst update
perspective.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
Dry with a Warming Trend Expected...

With a semi-blocking upper ridge/high pres alf slowly building
ESE from N Cntrl Can towards Nrn New Eng and the Can Maritime
provs, the stage should be set for a slow, but progressive
warming trend across especially Nrn/Cntrl ptns of the FA from
Mon thru Thu with fair skies, culminating with the warmest hi
temps Wed and Thu aftn. With SW to WSW geostrophic wind
directions anticipated by mid week, hi temps across our FA will
definitely trend to be inverted, with warmest temps across the N
and Downeast areas cooled by the cold Gulf of Maine waters,
spcly in the aftn when sfc winds ovr this ptn of the FA backs to
the SSW under the influence of the sea breeze crcln.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
NEAR TERM: VFR next 24 hours over all terminals except BHB.
Cannot rule out localized MVFR/IFR restrictions in -tsra but
confidence in any specific terminals experiencing storms is too
low to include in forecast. BHB may experience IFR fog this
evening before cold front crosses terminal with conditions
improving rapidly after 05z. SW winds will be gusty this
afternoon and turn to the NW this evening following frontal
passage.

SHORT TO LONG TERM: Sat - Tue...VFR conditions and lgt winds
xpctd all TAF sites with brief isold to sct shwrs possible from
late Sat ngt to Sun eve.

&&

.MARINE...
NEAR TERM: Seas will continue to fall to below 5 feet this
morning. Winds and seas are expected to then remain below small
craft advisory thresholds through Saturday morning. Patchy fog
and drizzle will reduce visibility over the waters tonight.

SHORT TO LONG TERM: No hdlns xpctd with wvs arnd 1 foot across
the inner bay/harbor MZ052 waters and 2 to 3 ft ovr the outer
MZs050-051. Went with about 90 percent of blended model wv
guidance for fcst wv hts. Up to 4 different wv groups are
possible ranging from very short fetch 3 secs to a faint very
long fetch background swell of 16 to 17 sec. Most of observed wv
energy, however, will be contained in an intermediate N
propagating 8 sec wv group and a NW propagating swell like wv
group of 10 sec, with the 10 sec group becoming the most
dominate after Sun.
