Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Caribou ME
153 PM EDT Fri Jun 10 2022

.SYNOPSIS...
Low pressure will lift north through Quebec through tonight
followed by weak high pressure on Saturday. Low pressure will
approach on Sunday and cross the area Monday. The low will exit
to the east on Tuesday as high pressure begins to build in from
the west.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
130PM Update: Appear on track for mainly scattered convection
across mainly the North this afternoon. With the freezing level
down around 7000-7500 ft small hail is possible in any
thunderstorm. With only a few hundred J of CAPE and only
15-25KT of shear - expect any storms to remains below severe
limits.

Previous Discussion...
The surface low pressure system has move north out of the
region overnight, but wrap around moisture will bring isolated
to scattered showers today. 850-200mb RH models show clear skies
across the south this morning with clearing patchy to areas of
fog. In the north, high-res QPF models and model reflectivity
point to isolated showers this morning that could have some
cloud breaks in between showers. Towards the afternoon,
shortwave energy will move southward as the upper level trof
swings the vort max through the region. With the warmer SW flow
and upper level cold pool across the north, the unstable
atmosphere should support isolate thunderstorms. Per the RAP and
NAM, CAPE values are lingering around 400 J/kg with steep lapse
rates near 9 C/km. This increasing confidence in thunderstorm
activity in the north, with possible pea sized hail due to the
lower freezing levels. Due to the clear skies in the morning in
the south, temps will be warmer than the north with low to mid
70s; cooler by the coast due to onshore flow. The temps in the
cloud covered north will be in the mid to upper 60s. Breezy SW
winds today across the region.

By tonight, the low pressure system will move off over the
maritimes, pulling the rest of the moisture out of the area.
Vorticity models show some weak upper level ridging settling in,
which will help push out the rain showers. The south skies
should still see clear skies tonight while the north will see
mostly cloudy skies before midnight. Low level moisture below
the inversion will keep some clouds in the north with the
possibility of patchy fog development. Temps are expected to be
above normal with mid 50s across the region.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Low pressure will continue moving away through eastern Canada on
Saturday as weak high pressure and a corridor of moderately drier
air move in from the west. This will bring a cloudy to partly sunny
and seasonably warm day. A very weak shortwave embedded in the
westerlies may spawn an isolated shower or thunderstorm over
northwestern areas. Otherwise, Saturday should be dry. An upper
level trough will remain over the Great Lakes and a new wave of low
pressure will begin to approach late in the weekend. Sunday will be
partly to mostly cloudy and warm ahead of this low with a chance for
some showers spreading into mainly western areas late in the day.
Low pressure tracking into Quebec late Sunday night will pull a weak
but moist occlusion into the area as a band of showers lifts up from
the southwest ahead of the occlusion.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
The occluded front tracking into the area on Monday will bring a
cloudy and humid day with rain likely across the region. Some
thunderstorms will also be possible. The best chance for any thunder
will be over western areas where warmer and more humid air advecting
north under cooler air aloft will set up some instability. Eastern
areas may be a bit more stable as a result of relatively cooler air
off the ocean being advected north in the low levels. Some
dynamically driven upper level instability, however, cannot be ruled
out. Showers will likely continue into Monday night, especially
across the north as the axes of upper level low pressure combined
with the occlusion lifts up across the area. Low pressure, both
surface and aloft, will continue into the Maritimes on Tuesday with
clouds and some showers possible over the western edge of the low
across our area. High pressure building in from Canada will then
begin to bring clearing late Tuesday into Tuesday night. This will
set the stage for a partly to mostly sunny and seasonably warm day
on Wednesday as high pressure crosses. The High will slide to the
east on Thursday as a return southerly flow increases behind it.
This may allow some showers to develop late Thursday. The GFS shows
a weak occlusion pushing into the area while the ECMWF keeps upper
ridging over the region. The ECMWF would maintain mostly dry weather
through Thursday while the GFS would bring in some showers.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
NEAR TERM: VFR, except for very low chance MVFR in any showers
this afternoon at northern terminals. WSW winds gusting to
around 20KT this afternoon should lose their gustiness late this
afternoon/early this evening. Winds should become light and
variable tonight at all but KFVE. Winds should become W at under
10KT throughout by mid morning Saturday.

SHORT TERM:
Saturday afternoon-Sunday...VFR, with MVFR possible at western
terminals late Sunday. WSW winds G15-20KT possible Saturday
afternoon.

Sunday night-Monday...IFR or lower possible. LLWS possible
Sunday night-Monday morning. SE winds G15-20KT possible Monday
afternoon.

Monday night...Improving to VFR southern terminals. IFR or
lower possible northern terminals.

Tuesday...MVFR possible. NW Winds G15-20KT possible.

Tuesday night-Wednesday...becoming VFR Tuesday evening.

&&

.MARINE...
NEAR TERM: SCA conditions will continue today, mainly for the
outer waters. Wind gust up to 25 kts and seas between 5-7 ft
expected. By tonight, winds and seas should calm below SCA
conditions.

SHORT TERM:
Wind and seas are expected to remain below SCA into the middle
of next week. The air will remain moderately humid possibly
resulting in some mist and fog over the waters into next week.
