Marine Weather and Tides
Version 3.4 |
5/20/2018 -- NOAA is having problems with the data feed that I use to draw the graphs. They are aware of the issue and working to resolve it. Sometimes changing the location by about a mile will give a correct graph. 3/3/2018 - There is a new GOES Satellite for the east coast that required rewriting that part of the code. Please report any issues. |

(on/off) Help NOTE: mouseover dotted underlined text for definition| Fxus61 kcar 240428 afdcar area forecast discussion national weather service caribou me 1228 am edt Sun jun 24 2018 Synopsis High pressure will move east of the area this evening. Weak low pressure will track south of the area tonight. A stronger low will cross the gulf of maine Sunday night then exit across the maritimes Monday. Near term through today 1215 am update: only minor chgs to fcst temps and dwpts from prev update thru the remainder of the ngt based on trends seen in latest sfc obs. The rest for the near term fcst elements from the prev fcst update still look good attm. Orgnl disc: weak wave of low pressure will move across the gulf of maine tonight and generate several hours of rain in the southern 2 3 of the forecast area. Amounts should total less a quarter inch in most areas, but there is some elevated instability that could produce locally heavier amounts. This instability is associated with a thermal ridge at h850 and will mostly affect southern penobscot county as well as hancock and washington counties. Additional low level moisture advecting in with the low pressure will also introduce some areas of fog towards the coast later tonight into early Sunday morning. Lows tonight will be in the lower 50s. Sunday will be a more humid day, but clouds will limit highs to the lower 70s for the most part... And even lower towards the coast due to the sea breeze. A cold front will slide southward from quebec into the saint john valley during Sunday and set off some showers, but the front will stall as a potent shortwave upper level trough approaches from the eastern great lakes region with cyclogenesis in southern new england later Sunday. Short term tonight through Tuesday Surface low pressure will cross the gulf of maine Sunday night, then exit across the maritimes Monday. Rain is expected across the forecast area Sunday night into early Monday. An upper level trof then crosses the region Monday afternoon. Cold air aloft with the upper trof will steepen mid level lapse rates which will help support the chance of showers Monday afternoon along with partly sunny skies. With the upper trof exiting and loss of diurnal heating any lingering showers will end Monday evening. High pressure then builds across the region Monday night through Tuesday. Cloud cover will decrease Monday night, with mostly sunny skies Tuesday. Temperatures will be at below normal levels Monday, with near normal level temperatures Tuesday. Long term Tuesday night through Sunday High pressure will exit to the east early Wednesday, with low pressure tracking across quebec province drawing a warm front |
toward the region late. Cloud cover will increase later Wednesday, with showers Wednesday night. The warm front will cross the region Thursday, with a weakening cold front trof approaching late. Mostly cloudy skies along with showers are expected across the region Thursday. The remnants of the cold front trof could support the chance of a shower Friday. Surface upper level ridging will then build across the region later Friday into Saturday with warming temperatures. Dependent on the location of the upper ridge, convective complexes moving over the top of the ridge could affect the region Saturday. Near normal level temperatures are expected Thursday. Above normal level temperatures are expected Wednesday, then again Friday Saturday. Aviation 06z Sunday through Thursday Near term: mostlyVFR conditions are anticipated through the period except at bhb where a period of ifr CIGS is expected this evening which will be followed by a prolonged period of MVFR CIGS in rain for the rest of the night into early Sunday morning. Otherwise, several hours of ifr CIGS are possible at hul late tonight and some MVFR CIGS are possible north of hul Sunday morning. Short term: MVFR to lifr conditions are expected Sunday night through early Monday, with occasional MVFR conditions possible later Monday.VFR conditions are expected Monday night into early Wednesday. MVFR to lifr conditions are expected Wednesday night into Thursday. Marine Near term: areas of fog are expected to move across the waters tonight into early Sunday. Otherwise, light winds are forecast, but longer period south swell will increase towards 3 to 4 feet by Sunday evening. Short term: winds seas are generally expected to remain below small craft advisory levels Sunday night through Tuesday. However, conditions could approach small craft advisory levels later Sunday night into early Monday. Visibilities will be reduced in rain Sunday night through early Monday, with a chance of showers later Monday. Car watches warnings advisories Me... None. Marine... None. Near term...

Almost all of these also make simplifying assumptions so they are not totally accurate even if there are no errors. Please verify all results. 5) Weather information is from numerious of sources and is presented automatically. It is not checked for accuracy either by anyone at L-36.com or by the source which is typically the US Government. See the NOAA web site for their disclaimer. Finally, tide and current data on this site is from 2007 and 2008 data bases, which may contain even older data. Changes in harbors due to building or dredging change tides and currents and for that reason many of the locations presented are no longer supported by newer data bases. For example, there is very little tidal current data in newer data bases so current data is likely wrong to some extent. This data is NOT FOR NAVIGATION. See the XTide disclaimer for details. In addition, tide and current are influenced by storms, river flow, and other factors beyond the ability of any predictive program. |
