Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Caribou ME
1256 PM EDT Sat Jul 29 2023

.SYNOPSIS...
A cold front will cross the region this morning, then exit
across the Gulf of Maine this evening while low pressure moves
along the front. High pressure will build toward the region
Sunday. Another cold front will cross the region Monday. High
pressure will build toward the region Tuesday and Wednesday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
1250 PM Update... High level cloud cover is quickly increasing
over the last hour or so ahead of an approaching shortwave
trough. Showers are developing across NH and far southwestern ME
with thunderstorms noted across northern NY and VT. This
activity will continue to move east this evening, leading to
scattered evening showers and stratiform rain overnight across
the southern half of the area. Some light stratiform rain may
approach north central areas as well, but measurable
precipitation is less likely. Updated the forecast for the next
36 hours using the latest 12z guidance and matched current obs.

Previous Discussion:
Dew points behind the cold front are dropping through the 50s,
while they remain in the 60s along the coast. The boundary will
stall over the Gulf of Maine later today. This will set up a
cooler and drier day from the Central Highlands northward, with
high temperatures in the 70s and dew points in the 50s. Warmer
and more humid air will hold on in the Bangor region and
Downeast today closer to the front. Expect highs in the lower
80s away from the immediate coast, while dew points remain in
the 60s.

A wave of low pressure will then track along the front into the
Gulf of Maine late this afternoon into tonight. Model guidance
has trended slower and further north with this system than
previous runs. Where rain does fall, it will spread from west
to east between around 5pm and 8pm. There is very little
instability with this system, so thunder is not expected. Any
rain will end from west to east late tonight as the wave moves
off to the east. Low temperatures tonight will be in the 50s for
most places, with some 40s in the normally cooler spots in the
North Woods.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
500mb ridge maintains itself over the Desert Southwest with upr trof
remaining east of the MS River throughout the short term. NW flow
with hipres at the sfc building in fm the Great Lakes area continues
to bring cooler and drier wx into CWA on NW flow on Sunday. Mostly
sunny skies are expected on Sunday with high temps slightly below
normal from the m70s acrs the north to u70s/nr 80 over Downeast with
offshore flow.

Secondary cold front will be moving twd nwrn Maine late Sun night.
Showers will spread into the North Woods after midnight and
gradually move south drg the overnight hours moving thru nrn areas
by daybreak. Main sfc low will be moving twd Labrador Mon afternoon
with occluded front draped acrs the region. Given diurnal htg cannot
rule out isold thunderstorms along the front.

Mon night will see front move offshore with skies clearing from
north to south. High pressure builds west twd the area late with upr
trof still back to the west. Given cold air advection behind front
will bring mins on Tue morning into the 40s acrs the northwest.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
Upr trof and cold pool will be moving acrs the region on Tuesday,
leading to possible tstms in the afternoon. Skies wl clear Tue night
as 1025mb sfc high builds into the area will lead to the coldest
night of the week with locations to the north of Baxter S.P. dipping
into the 40s with areas south of I95 in the l/m 50s.

Heights rise on Wed night as upr ridge crests over the area ahead of
next system diving into the Great Lakes. Some timing differences
between med range guidance with more significant system expected by
the end of the week. 00z GFS/CMC bring showers in Thu evening, along
with their respective ensembles, while EC brings warm advection
showers to the north with steadier rain moving in Fri
afternoon/evening. Have gone with NBM pops for the end of the week
which looks to follow the faster trend of the GFS/CMC.
A cold front will cross the region tonight, then exit across
the Gulf of Maine Saturday while low pressure moves along the
front. High pressure will build toward the region Sunday.
Another cold front will cross the region Monday into Tuesday.
High pressure will build toward the region Wednesday.
