Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Caribou ME
307 PM EDT Thu Aug 7 2025

.SYNOPSIS...
High pressure slowly slides to the south and east of Maine
through Friday night. High pressure centered east of Nova Scotia
will ridge back across the region through the weekend into
Monday. A weak cold front could approach Tuesday.
&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
High pressure continues to linger over Maine, continuing a
period of dry and mild conditions. Skies mostly clear today,
with a few cumulus clouds moving through the Downeast region,
and some Canadian wildfire aloft in the northern counties.
Winds generally light and variable. Skies clear out tonight,
which alongside light winds could lead to radiational cooling.
Lows in the low-to-mid 50s forecast. Light winds, high relative
humidity, and potential surface inversion could lead to some
fog, predominantly in river valleys.

On Friday, high pressure begins to slide east. High
temperatures in the low-to-mid 80s and clear skies. Another
potential for some wildfire smoke to move in over central and
northern Maine, but models continue to indicate that majority of
it will stay aloft. Could keep temperatures steady by acting as
a cirrus shield. Models hint at some precipitation moving
into the far western portion of Maine, but looks to stay out our
southwest since the low-levels will be quite dry. Overnight
lows upper-50s to low-60s.
&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
High pressure will remain centered east of Nova Scotia, while
ridging back toward Maine Saturday through Sunday night. Aloft,
high pressure will build toward the region Saturday into
Sunday. Precipitable water values will increase to 1.50 to 1.75
inches Saturday night into Sunday with the return flow around
high pressure. Generally expect partly cloudy skies north,
mostly clear Downeast, Saturday through Sunday night. However,
with the increasing moisture and warming temperatures could also
have enough diurnal instability to support the possibility of
an afternoon/evening shower or thunderstorm across mostly the
north and mountains both Saturday and Sunday. Patchy fog could
also begin to develop across the Gulf of Maine through the
weekend. Temperatures will be at above normal levels
Saturday/Sunday.
&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
Generally expect mostly clear/partly cloudy skies Monday. Warm
temperatures aloft could cap convective potential Monday. Thus, have
not included any showers/thunderstorms Monday, though the
possibility of an isolated afternoon shower/thunderstorm will
have to be monitored. Weak cold fronts/trofs are possible
Tuesday and Wednesday which could help support a slight
chance/chance of a shower or thunderstorm. Otherwise, generally
expect partly cloudy skies north with mostly clear/partly cloudy
skies Downeast. Generally expect partly cloudy skies Thursday,
with only the slight chance/chance of a diurnal shower or
thunderstorm. Temperatures will be at above normal levels Monday
through Thursday, though starting to cool slightly Thursday.
Apparent temperatures could approach Heat Advisory levels across
portions of the region Monday/Tuesday.
&&

.AVIATION /19Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
NEAR TERM:
KFVE/KCAR/KPQI/KHUL: VFR conditions today. Winds generally light
and variable. Potential for some overnight fog to develop that
would reduce visibility, with the best chances being at KPQI and
KHUL. Fog would burn off with daybreak, bringing conditions
back up to VFR.

KBGR/KBHB: VFR conditions today. Light N/NE winds at KBGR, and
S winds at KBHB. Winds then become light and variable
overnight, and then become SW at 5-10kts at southern terminals
tomorrow. A few cumulus clouds moving through this afternoon
into evening.

SHORT TERM:

Saturday through Sunday...Variable conditions with any patchy
overnight fog. Slight chance of an afternoon or evening
shower/thunderstorm across mostly the north and mountains.
Otherwise, VFR. South/southwest winds 5 to 10 knots.

Monday through Monday night...Variable conditions with any patchy
overnight fog. Otherwise, VFR. South/southwest winds 5 to 10 knots.

Tuesday...Slight chance/chance of an afternoon shower or
thunderstorm. Otherwise, VFR. Variable winds 5 top 10 knots.
&&

.MARINE...
NEAR TERM: Winds and seas remain below Small Craft Advisory
conditions up until this weekend. Seas generally 2 ft or below
over all waters. Winds from the SW at 5-10 kts. Beach Hazard
statement in effect for cold waters this weekend.

SHORT TERM: Winds/seas below small craft advisory levels Saturday
through Sunday night. Patchy fog possible Sunday into Sunday
