Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Caribou ME
1159 AM EDT Fri Aug 5 2022

.SYNOPSIS...
A cold front will slowly move south across the region today,
then stall near the Downeast coast later today through tonight.
The front will dissipate Saturday while high pressure builds to
our southeast. Another cold front will push into the area Sunday
and stall. Low pressure will approach Sunday night and cross
the area late Monday into Monday night. High pressure will build
in from Canada on Tuesday and remain over the area Wednesday.
&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
1150am update...Front continues to sag southward through
southern Aroostook County westward across Piscataquis County.
Dew points are falling off nicely in the drier air behind the
front. Still expecting the front to stall in the Downeast region
this evening. The front will be the focus for afternoon
thunderstorms that will affect the southern half of the forecast
area this afternoon and evening. Expect activity to increase
from the current radar depiction, but capped PoPs under 35
percent for Bangor and Downeast this afternoon. Locally heavy
rainfall remains the only concern with thunderstorms given the
deep moisture and expected storm motions.

Previous Discussion...
A cold front will slowly move south across the region today,
then stall along the Downeast coast later today into tonight.
High pressure will build across northern areas in the wake of
the front. Isolated/scattered showers will occur across northern
areas in advance of the front through early afternoon. Building
high pressure will then bring partly sunny skies later this
afternoon. Precipitable water values of 1.75 to 2.00 inches will
persist across Downeast areas today in advance of the cold
front. Expect scattered showers/thunderstorms across central and
Downeast areas today in advance of the cold front.
Thunderstorms this afternoon could produce locally heavy rains.
The front will remain near the Downeast coast tonight, while
high pressure builds across northern areas.
Showers/thunderstorms will diminish across central and Downeast
areas early tonight, with isolated showers possibly lingering
Downeast overnight. Areas of fog could reduce visibilities along
the Downeast coast again tonight where better low level
moisture persists near the stalled frontal boundary. Partly
cloudy/mostly clear skies are expected across northern areas
tonight with building high pressure. High temperatures today
will range from the upper 70s to around 80 north, to the lower
to mid 80s Downeast. Low temperatures tonight will range through
the 50s north, to the 60s Downeast.
&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
A frontal boundary will stall near the coast on Saturday as a
southwesterly flow on the northwest side of a subtropical high
becomes dominant across the area. The north will begin with low
humidity early Saturday morning. The humid air will then return
north during the day Saturday with dew points expected to be in the
upper 60s north to near 70 over the south by late Saturday. Some
clouds will linger Downeast while the north has a mostly sunny sky.
Humidity will prevent the air from cooling much Saturday night with
lows across the entire area in the upper 60s to near 70. A new cold
front will push into the area Sunday bringing a chance of showers
and scattered thunderstorms mainly over central and northern areas.
The interior south will be hot with highs in the low 90s and
apparent temperatures likely rising into the mid 90s or higher. This
may require heat advisories again with the hottest weather expected
over southern Piscataquis and central and southern Penobscot
counties. The cold front will slowly push south, weaken and stall
over the Downeast region Sunday night. Some showers may be along the
front, mainly over central areas Sunday night. Otherwise, the north
will be a bit cooler Sunday night with lows in the mid 50s as cooler
drier air nudges in from the north. Downeast will remain humid with
lows in the mid 60s.
&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
A small but vigorous shortwave will approach from the Great Lakes on
Monday beginning to pull the frontal boundary Downeast back north as
a warm front again. Timing of the arrival of this system varies
quite a bit between forecast models with the GFS a bit quicker
bringing rain through on Monday while the ECMWF and NAM are slower
bringing the rain through Monday night. With the frontal boundary
Downeast as the rain pushes in, will likely go stratiform rain over
the north where overrunning should take place late Monday into
Monday night. Some bands of heavy rain are possible as very
moist air lifts north over the frontal boundary. Will keep
showery rain central and south. Elevated convection will still
be possible over the north so will include chance of thunder
north too. Rain north and showers further south may continue
into Monday night. Showers should taper off Tuesday as the low
continues away. High pressure will then build in through mid-
week bringing some slightly drier and cooler air over the north
with southern areas remaining humid. A longwave trough will be
over eastern Canada through late week as a corridor or
relatively drier and cooler air swings east into our area
beneath the trough. This should bring seasonable temperatures
and a bit lower humidity throughout the area Thursday into
Friday.
&&

.AVIATION /16Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
NEAR TERM: Across northern areas, VFR/MVFR with isolated to
scattered showers through early afternoon. VFR from mid
afternoon through tonight. Across Downeast areas, variable
conditions with low clouds and fog along with isolated to
scattered showers and thunderstorms this morning. Variable
conditions this afternoon and evening with showers and
thunderstorms which could produce locally heavy rains. Generally
VFR/MVFR tonight with decreasing shower chances. IFR/LIFR also
possible along the Downeast coast with low clouds and fog.
North/northwest winds 5 to 10 knots across northern areas today,
with variable winds 5 to 10 knots central and Downeast.
Variable winds 5 to 10 knots regionwide tonight.

SHORT TERM:
Saturday...VFR except possibly MVFR or IFR early near the coast.
Light S wind.

Saturday night...VFR lowering to MVFR or IFR near coast late. Light
SW wind.

Sunday...Possibly MVFR or IFR Downeast early. Otherwise, VFR
possibly lowering to MVFR in showers north late. SW wind.

Monday...VFR. Light NNE wind.

Monday night...VFR, lowering to MVFR and possibly over the north. E
wind becoming SE.

Tuesday...VFR south, MVFR north, possibly lowering to IFR north.
&&

.MARINE...
NEAR TERM: Winds/seas below small craft advisory levels today
through tonight. Isolated/scattered showers and thunderstorms
today through this evening, then isolated showers overnight.
Areas of fog today through tonight.

SHORT TERM:
Wind and seas will be below SCA through early next week. Humid
air over the cooler waters will likely cause fog to persist
through the weekend. A push of slightly drier air in from the
north on Monday may improve visibility.&&

Record warm low temperatures are possible on August 7th.
