Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Caribou ME
1250 PM EDT Thu Aug 18 2022

.SYNOPSIS...
Low pressure will lift north across the region today.
The low will exit across the Maritimes Friday. High pressure
will cross the region Saturday into Sunday. A cold front will
stall across northern Maine later Sunday into Monday.
&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
Update...
Vertically stacked surface/upper level low pressure will lift
north across the forecast area through the afternoon. Showers
will occur across the region through the afternoon along with
cloudy/mostly cloudy skies. High temperatures will range from
the upper 60s to around 70 across the forecast area. Have
updated to adjust for current conditions along with expected
afternoon temperatures, clouds and shower chances.

Previous Discussion...
Shwrs and patchy DZ should msly end by late tngt ovr Downeast
areas and across the N by Fri morn, and with lgt winds, patchy
fog will be possible across the FA late tngt if we get enough
breaks in the cldnss. With cldnss and patchy fog with relatively
high sfc dwpts, ovrngt lows will be a little warmer then climo
for this tm of season.
&&

.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
A ridge of high pressure will begin to build back into the state
on Friday as low pressure retreats eastward into the Canadian
Maritimes. Lingering pressure gradient will keep breezy winds
Friday and Saturday afternoons with mixing heights to 850 mb
expected. Isolated rain showers may linger across the north
early Friday morning, and will quickly dissipate through the day
as the low continues to move off to the east. As skies clear
under the building high pressure, temperatures will rebound to
and above seasonal averages. High temperatures on Friday will
reach into the mid to upper 70s, and Friday night temperatures
will dip into the mid 50s.

On Saturday, temperatures will continue to climb with mostly
clear skies and southwesterly warm air advection. This pattern
will lead to temperatures soaring above seasonal averages.
Recent guidance runs have trended upwards, such that high
temperatures on Saturday are now projected to reach into the 80s
across the forecast area, with the Bangor area having potential
to reach into the upper 80s. As skies remain mostly clear and
winds light Saturday night, a return of patchy fog is possible,
especially along the coast where moisture levels are highest.
&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
A period of unsettled weather is expected beginning on Sunday
and leading into the early part of next week. A cold front will
approach the area from the west, but great uncertainty remains
among ensemble guidance as to when this front will push through
the area, or if the front will even be the primary source for
rain Sunday into Monday. The GEFS introduce the threat for rain
earliest, with moisture advected in out ahead of the incoming
trough. There is agreement among various ensembles that another
area of low pressure will sit off the Mid-Atlantic coast, which
could approach the area from the south heading into the early
part of next week. Leaned on the NBM for this forecast to
account for the uncertainty that exists. The greatest chance for
thunder will be Sunday into Monday as the cold front pushes into
the area, especially if the timing of the cold front lines up
with peak diurnal heating Sunday afternoon. A chance for daily
rain showers remains through Wednesday under this unsettled
pattern.
&&
