Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Caribou ME
701 PM EDT Fri Jun 19 2020

.SYNOPSIS...
High pressure will slowly drift south of the region through the
weekend. A cold front will slowly approach from the west Monday
through Wednesday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SATURDAY/...
7:00 pm update: Did he update a little later than usual to
allow the heat advisory to expire at 7 pm. Satellite pictures
early this evening show a bit of elevated smoke from a fire in
Quebec drifting into northwest Aroostook County. Elsewhere,
there is nothing more than a bit of cumulus over the Central
Highlands. Low clouds are evident across southern Nova Scotia,
and some of the lower clouds and fog may take a run toward the
Downeast coast very late tonight. No major changes at this time
to the ongoing forecast.

Previous discussion:
A hot day across northern and eastern Maine will wind down this
evening with dew point temperatures increasing across Downeast.
Tonight will be clear as high pressure pulls away, but return
flow will be responsible for moisture advection. This will
create the added chance of fog developing once again along the
coast and over the waters. Low stratus has been timid to venture
further into the Gulf of Maine under full sun during the day,
but as seen last night on obs and satellite, more is expected to
develop after midnight. The greater moisture will also bring
the chance of some isolated showers or thunderstorms into the
Saturday afternoon hours. Little shear will be in the
environment, so stronger storms are not expected. It will again
be hot, particularly towards the Penobscot Valley and Bangor
region where clouds are not expected to approach until mid
afternoon. The north will see a couple degree relief as a front
drops out of New Brunswick and Quebec, but highs in the upper
80s are still expected.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
High pressure will remain centered southeast of the region
Saturday night through Monday. A cold front should remain
stalled across northern/central portions of the forecast area
Saturday night through Sunday, though the exact location is
uncertain. The front will lift back north of Maine Monday. The
remnants of the upper low which has been located to the south
will lift across the region Sunday through Monday. Warm
increasingly humid conditions will occur across the forecast
area Saturday night through Monday. Warm humid conditions, the
proximity of the front and remnants of the upper low will
support a chance of mostly diurnal showers/thunderstorms across
mostly northern and central areas Sunday through Monday. Marine
stratus/fog will affect the Downeast coast Saturday night
through Monday, particularly during the night and early morning.
Temperatures will remain at above normal levels Sunday/Monday.
However, cooler temperatures will occur along the Downeast coast
with onshore winds and sea breezes.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
High pressure will remain centered southeast of the region
through Friday. At the same time, a slow moving frontal
boundary and upper trof will approach from the west Tuesday
through Wednesday then begin to cross the region Thursday
through Friday. However, how rapidly the cold front and upper
trof cross the region Thursday through Friday is still
uncertain. The return flow around high pressure will keep warm
humid conditions across the region Tuesday through Friday. This
will help support mostly diurnal showers/thunderstorms Tuesday
through Friday. More extensive showers/thunderstorms are
possible later Wednesday/Thursday with the cold front and upper
trof. If the cold front/upper trof is slow to clear the area,
showers/thunderstorms will persist Friday. A more progressive
system could result in lesser shower/thunderstorm chances
Friday. Warm moist air across the colder waters of the Gulf of
Maine will also likely support marine stratus/fog Tuesday
through at least Thursday, mostly across the Gulf of Maine and
along the Downeast coast. Temperatures will remain at above
normal levels Tuesday through Friday. However, cooler
temperatures will occur along the Downeast coast with onshore
winds and sea breezes.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
NEAR TERM: VFR. Patchy fog will develop along the coast, with
BHB expected to see IFR for reduced vis after local midnight
until after daybreak. Isolated showers or thunderstorms will
develop across central and northern areas Sat afternoon. These
will primarily be in the vicinity of PQI and HUL. Winds will be
light out of the SW through Saturday.

SHORT TERM:
Saturday night...Generally VFR. However, an evening
shower/thunderstorm is possible across mostly northern areas.
Also, variable conditions possible along the Downeast coast with
any marine stratus/fog.

Sunday through Wednesday...Variable conditions with any mostly
diurnal showers/thunderstorms. The better chances of
showers/thunderstorms will occur across northern and central
areas, with lesser chances Downeast. Variable conditions with
marine stratus/fog will also likely affect the Downeast coast at
times Sunday through Wednesday, particularly during the night
and early morning hours. Otherwise, VFR.

&&

.MARINE...
NEAR TERM: Conditions continue below SCA. Fog has been prone to
burn off quickly in the morning and remain out of the waters
during the day. However, conditions are expected to become more
favorable for fog development again tonight into Saturday
morning, returning Sat late afternoon. SW winds with gusts up to
15 kt.

SHORT TERM: Winds/seas will remain below small craft advisory
levels Saturday night through Monday. Visibilities will be
reduced in fog Saturday night through Monday.

&&

...National Weather Service Cold Water Safety Message...

* The warm air temperatures this weekend around 90 may cause people
  to underestimate the dangers of the cold water temperatures which
  are currently only in the 60s to around 70 on the lakes and rivers.

* The cold water temperatures can quickly cause hypothermia to
  anyone immersed in the water. According to the Maine Warden
  Service, when the water temperature is below 60 degrees, the
  average submerged person could lose dexterity within minutes and
  be unable to accomplish simple tasks. Anyone on small boats,
  canoes or kayaks should plan accordingly if recreating this
  weekend and use extreme caution to avoid this threat. Paddle
  smart from the start and always wear your life jacket!
