Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Caribou ME
225 PM EDT Fri Aug 23 2024

.SYNOPSIS...
High pressure builds over the area into early Sunday. A weak
area of low pressure moves over the area late Sunday into
early Tuesday. An upper trough moves across the area mid to late
week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SATURDAY/...
Upper level low pressure continues to pull out eastward into the
Maritimes tonight while ridging at the surface and aloft builds.
Under clear skies, expect good radiational cooling and a
sharp/shallow inversion to form. Suspect low temps will end up
below guidance. The bias-corrected guidance looks too high based
on recent warm temps. Shaded towards NBM 25th percentile with
forecast lows in the upper 40s to lower 50s. These temperatures
will likely result in shallow fog over lakes and in river
valleys.

For Saturday, the ridging continues and warming is expected
through the column. 850mb temps will warm some 4-5C over today.
Surface temperatures should rebound towards 80F under mostly
sunny skies. Do expect development of fair wx cu by afternoon
around 850mb or higher, and there is a little instabilty above
that level to above 700mb, but not sold on showers and will not
include any PoPs for Saturday.
&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
High pressure slowly moves over and east of the region Saturday
night. Winds will be nearly calm by daybreak Sunday. A few
clouds will start to work in later in the night on the backside
of the high, limiting the radiational cooling potential. That
said, still forecasting lows to drop into the lower 50s in the
normally cooler northern valleys, with mid to upper 50s
elsewhere. Patchy river valley is expected to form as there will
still be enough low-level moisture around.

An upper-level low will begin to approach from the northwest on
Sunday. Most places will remain dry for most of the day.
However, there will be a chance of afternoon showers and a few
thunderstorms in the Moosehead Lake region, Baxter State Park,
the North Woods, and the Saint John Valley. A shower or two
could reach as far as I-95 and Route 1 in Aroostook County, but
any showers will be isolated. Any thunderstorms end with the
loss of daytime heating, but a few showers could persist into
Sunday night. Southerly flow will provide favorable conditions
for at least patchy fog to develop Sunday night, especially
where showers fall during the day. Highs on Sunday will range
from the mid 70s in the North Woods, to the lower 80s near
Bangor. Lows Sunday night are expected to range from the mid 50s
to the lower 60s.

The upper-level low will cross through Maine on Monday. This
means more destabilization and a greater threat for afternoon
showers and thunderstorms, mainly from Bangor north and west.
Onshore flow will limit shower and thunderstorm development
closer to the coast. With more clouds and showers around, highs
on Monday are forecast to be a bit cooler than Sunday. Expect
70s for most places, with 60s at the immediate coast.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
Brief upper-level ridging builds in Monday night into Tuesday as
the aforementioned upper low moves into the Canadian Maritimes.
This will mean dry conditions Monday night through Tuesday
night. Also expecting some fog development Monday night with
light winds and available low-level moisture.

Models show an upper trough moving towards the area for
Wednesday and Thursday of next week. However, guidance disagrees
on the timing of this feature. For now, left chance of showers
and thunderstorms in for both afternoons. High pressure looks to
bring a period of drier weather towards the end of next week.
Temperatures will at or a little above normal early in the week,
then at or a bit below normal late week.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
NEAR TERM: VFR conditions are expected through the period. The
only possible exception could be shallow fog near lakes and
rivers. As a result, PQI could see intermittent reductions in
vis due to fog later tonight into the early morning hours. Light
northwest winds will become more westerly for Saturday.

SHORT TERM:
Saturday Night...Mainly VFR, though MVFR/IFR with patchy fog
possible late Saturday night. Light W-SW winds.

Sunday...Mainly VFR. Brief MVFR with showers and VCTS possible in
the PM at Aroostook Terminals. S-SW winds around 5 kts.

Sunday Night...VFR early. IFR or lower possible late with patchy
fog. Light S-SW winds.

Monday...Any IFR or lower with patchy fog in the early AM
becoming VFR. Periods of MVFR possible in the PM with showers
and VCTS. S winds 5-10 kts.

Monday Night-Tuesday Night...Mainly VFR. IFR or lower possible
late night and early AM with patchy fog. S winds around 5 kts.

Wednesday...Mainly VFR. Brief MVFR possible at Aroostook
terminals in the PM with showers and VCTS. S-SW winds 5-15 kts.

&&

.MARINE...
NEAR TERM: Winds will decrease tonight into Saturday with max
gusts just over 10 kt. Direction will vary from west to
southwest. South swell around two to three feet will continue
into Saturday with a slight downward trend. Fog is not expected.

SHORT TERM: Winds and seas will remain well below Small Craft
Advisory criteria through the weekend and the first half of next
week. Patchy fog will reduce visibility on the waters at times,
especially at night and in the early morning hours.
