Synopsis for stonington me to merrimack river ma out to 25 nm high pressure building into the region will remain over the waters through the first half of the coming week with light winds and low wave heights expected development of fog over the waters can't be ruled out once the week is underway. Winds and seas increase mid to late week in association with low pressure.

Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Gray ME 355 PM EDT Sun Jun 2 2024

SYNOPSIS
High pressure will continue to be nearby the next several days with temperatures remaining above seasonal norms and winds diminishing, but daily seabreezes will keep areas along the coast slightly cooler. A few showers are possible during the afternoons Monday through Wednesday with the next chance for widespread showers arriving Thursday into the weekend.

NEAR TERM /TONIGHT/
With a 500mb ridge overhead and dry air aloft, only a very sparse cumulus field managed to develop this afternoon in addition to the passing cirrus. As we approach sunset, the cu field will dissipate, but cirrus will continue to stream in from the west this evening and most of tonight. This will keep temps mostly in the 50s for lows tonight, but southern NH may remain closer to 60 degrees where the cirrus may be more dense and remain longer. However, should these clear out more quickly, some areas may be able to reach the 40s, which seems more of a possibility in the northern valleys.

SHORT TERM /MONDAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/
Surface high pressure centers itself over the Maritimes on Monday with winds becoming more east to southeast. This will allow a faster development and inland progression of the seabreeze, which will keep coastal communities a bit cooler than today and in the 60s to lower 70s. Across the interior, it will be another seasonably warm day with temperatures ranging from the mid 70s to lower 80s.

The atmosphere also won't be as suppressed with the loss of the shortwave ridge that's overhead today, and with moisture/instability profiles a little more conducive, expect isolated-scattered showers (20-30% coverage) to develop during the afternoon hours across inland areas.

Showers that do develop will dissipate toward sunset with no additional precip for Monday night. Low temps for most of the area will be in the 50s, but northern valleys and the normally cooler spots could fall into the upper 40s.

LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/
Overview: Downstream low pressure will slowly move northward, allowing a return to unsettled weather for much of the remainder of the week. Tuesday will be dry, but expect showers to be in the forecast Wednesday onwards. Daytime temperatures remain around normal, with overnight lows expected to be mild.

Details: For Tuesday, low pressure off the coast of Nova Scotia remains steadfast. This should put up enough resistance to the west to keep most of Maine and New Hampshire dry. A few diurnal showers will be possible in the mountains, but the better chances come Wednesday afternoon. For temperatures, onshore flow at the surface will play with high temp ceilings for the day.
This onshore flow will be most prevalent along the ME coast, into the lakes region, and perhaps as far as the Kennebec Valley. Otherwise, shore parallel flow prevents much alteration to diurnal temperatures. Outside of the reach of this cooler air, dry air aloft and deep mixing should allow surface temps to push into the mid to upper 70s, with some readings around 80.

Tuesday night, upper moisture will dive out of Quebec and move across ME and NH. This coinciding with retreat of the downstream low will slowly saturate the column for shower chances across the interior Wed afternoon. Remains uncertainty on amounts and coverage, but PWATs should push above one inch during the afternoon with building instability to develop showers or even some storms. This will occur ahead of deeper moisture arriving in the Northeast into Thursday.

Upper low will tumble across the Great Lakes Thursday into Friday. This will keep unsettled, rainy conditions in the area perhaps into early next week. The concern here would be the repeated chances for slow moving showers or storms during the day. NBM mean brings some central areas close to 2 inches of measurable precip through next Wednesday, and this isn’t capturing the convective nature some of these repeat showers may contain. So considering the deeper PWATs, slow storm motion, and residence time of the upper low, would expect the chance for building excessive rainfall that could eventually cause flooding concerns. Will need to keep an eye just how prevalent precipitation trends amid this pattern, as this can be a tall task for guidance.

AVIATION /19Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/
Short Term...VFR prevails through Monday. A few light showers may develop across the interior Monday afternoon, but coverage looks too low for VCSH in any of the TAFs. For Monday night, with low-level flow being onshore, there is increasing potential for low ceilings and/or fog, which could yield MVFR TO IFR restrictions.

Long Term...MVFR/IFR may linger Tuesday morning, but trend towards VFR in the afternoon. Coastal fog may develop overnight into Wednesday morning, with SHRA expected across the interior terminals Wednesday afternoon. Unsettled conditions are expected for the second half of the week, which means lower ceilings amid SHRA or perhaps TS during afternoons.

MARINE
Short Term...Winds and seas remain below SCA levels through Monday night. Light northerly winds tonight become east to southeast on Monday before becoming light and more out of the N-NE on Monday night.

Long Term...Below SCA conditions are forecast, but fog may be in vicinity mid to late week as high pressure exits and low pressure nears late week.

GYX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES
ME...Beach Hazards Statement until 8 PM EDT this evening for MEZ023>028.
NH...Beach Hazards Statement until 8 PM EDT this evening for NHZ014.
MARINE...None.
