AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CARIBOU MAINE
515 AM EDT THU JUL 29 2004

.SYNOPSIS...AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE WILL CROSS THE REGION
TODAY...BRINGING A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. HIGH
PRESSURE WILL BUILD ACROSS THE REGION FRIDAY. HOWEVER...ANOTHER
UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE WILL BRING A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR AN AFTERNOON
SHOWER OR THUNDERSTORM ACROSS NORTHERN AREAS FRIDAY AFTERNOON.

&&

.SHORT TERM ( TODAY THROUGH FRI )...
CURRENT SURFACE ANALYSIS INDICATED A FRONTAL BOUNDARY ACROSS THE
GULF OF MAINE. THE REMNANTS OF WEAK LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE ALONG
THIS FRONT TODAY...WHILE AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE CROSSES THE
REGION. COOLER AIR ALOFT WILL ACCOMPANY THE TROF...HELPING STEEPEN
LAPSE RATES ACROSS THE REGION. WITH ANY SURFACE HEATING FURTHER
CONTRIBUTING TO DESTABILIZATION...EXPECT SHOWERS AND POSSIBLE
THUNDERSTORMS TO ACCOMPANY THE UPPER TROF ACROSS THE REGION TODAY.
ANY SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS WHICH DO DEVELOP WILL END IN THE WAKE OF
THE UPPER TROF. HIGH TEMPERATURES TODAY WILL GENERALLY RANGE FROM 75
TO 80 ACROSS THE REGION...WITH MID 70S ALONG THE COAST WHERE LOW
CLOUDS AND FOG WILL BE MOST PERSISTENT.

HIGH PRESSURE BEGINS TO RIDGE ACROSS THE REGION TONIGHT AT BOTH
THE SURFACE AND ALOFT. SKIES WILL BE PARTLY CLOUDY TONIGHT...WITH
PATCHY FOG DEVELOPING LATE. FOG WILL REMAIN MORE PERSISTENT NEAR
THE COAST. LOW TEMPERATURES TONIGHT WILL FALL TO AROUND 60 ACROSS
THE REGION.

RIDGING CONTINUES TO BUILD ACROSS THE REGION AT BOTH THE SURFACE AND
ALOFT FRIDAY. HOWEVER...AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE CROSSING THE
RIDGE...WILL CLIP NORTHERN AREAS DURING THE AFTERNOON. THE
COMBINATION OF INCREASINGLY WARM HUMID AIR WILL COMBINE WITH THE
UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE TO SUPPORT THE SLIGHT CHANCE OF AN
AFTERNOON SHOWER/THUNDERSTORM ACROSS NORTHERN AREAS FRIDAY
AFTERNOON. TEMPERATURES WILL WARM FRIDAY...WITH READINGS IN THE
UPPER 80S ACROSS MUCH OF THE REGION WHILE TEMPERATURES HOLD AROUND
80 ALONG THE COAST.

&&

.LONG TERM ( FRI NIGHT THROUGH WED )...
DIDNT MAKE ANY SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO LONG TERM PORTION OF FORECAST
SINCE ITS IN PRETTY GOOD AGREEMENT WITH LATEST GUIDANCE. SW FLOW
ALOFT WILL BECOME INCREASINGLY MOIST SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY TIME WITH
PWATS RUNNING IN THE 1.5 TO 2.0 INCH RANGE. WITH WEAK S/WVS EMBEDDED
IN THE FLOW AND WEAK COOL FRONT APPROACHING FROM THE WEST DECIDED TO
INCREASE POPS TO LIKELY ACROSS THE NORTHERN/WESTERN ZONES SATURDAY
INTO SATURDAY NIGHT PERIOD. THE WEAK FRONT WILL CROSS THE AREA LATER
SUNDAY/SUNDAY NIGHT TIME FRAME. ANOTHER WEAK FRONT APPROACHING ON
MONDAY-TUESDAY TIME FRAME.

&&

.AVIATION...
GENERALLY EXPECT VFR CONDITIONS ACROSS NORTHERN AREAS TODAY AND
TONIGHT...THOUGH PATCHY FOG COULD PRODUCE LOCAL IFR/LIFR
CEILINGS/VISIBILITIES EARLY THIS MORNING. LOCAL MVFR/IFR
CEILINGS/VISIBILITIES COULD ACCOMPANY ANY SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS.
EXPECT MORE EXTENSIVE LOW CLOUDS/FOG DOWNEAST EARLY TODAY WITH
LIFR/VLIFR CEILINGS/VISIBILITIES. CONDITIONS WILL IMPROVE TO VFR
DOWNEAST DURING THE AFTERNOON...THOUGH SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS COULD
PRODUCE LOCAL MVFR/IFR CEILINGS/VISIBILITIES.

&&

.MARINE...
INITIALIZED WINDS USING ETA12 AND SEAS WITH WNAWVE. WINDS WILL REMAIN
RATHER LIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY. PERSISTENT SWRLY FLOW AROUND HIGH
PRESSURE TO THE EAST WILL CONTINUE TO GENERATE HIGHER SWELL ACROSS
THE WATERS. FOG WILL ALSO REDUCE VISIBILITIES SUBSTANTIALLY AT TIMES.
ETA/GFS SHOWING BL WINDS INCREASING TO 25 TO 35 KTS SATURDAY AND
SATURDAY NIGHT ALTHOUGH NOT SURE HOW MUCH OF THIS WILL BE ABLE TO MIX
DOWN IN THE STABLE MARINE LAYER BUT WINDS/SEAS COULD APPROACH SCA
LEVELS AT THAT TIME.
&&

.CAR WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
ME...NONE.
MARINE...NONE.
