10/6/2018 Colors of tide XTide graphs changed to emphasize that they were upgraded. See next note. Comments welcome. 10/4/2018 I have fixed XTide and updated the harmonic files. There were some name changes so you might have to click EDIT to find the new station name. |

(on/off) Help NOTE: mouseover dotted underlined text for definition| Fxus61 kcar 201949 cca afdcar area forecast discussion... Corrected national weather service caribou me 349 pm edt Wed mar 20 2019 Synopsis High pressure will move east into the open atlantic tonight. Low pressure will develop off the mid-atlantic coast on Thursday and track north toward our region on Friday and then move across the canadian maritimes later Fri night into Saturday. Near term through Thursday Surface high will continue to move east of the gulf of maine tonight and to the east of nova scotia on Thursday. A light southerly return flow around the high will result in a much milder night than last night under partly cloudy skies. Clouds will continue to increase on Thursday as the high continues east and low pressure approaches from the south. Much of Thursday will remain dry, but we could see some light rain developing across the far western sections late tomorrow afternoon. Even milder temperatures are expected for Thursday afternoon with highs expected to range from the low to mid 40s across much of the region. Short term Thursday night through Saturday Models still are not in good agreement with the complex evolution of the developing SE and mid atlc states coastal low. The issue at heart is where and when does the rapid intensification period occur followed by capture from a nrn stream upper low. The 12z gfs, for example has slower intensification and capture of the sfc low further N ovr inland me which allows for a longer abv fzg temps Fri aftn into Fri ngt for all of the fa, while the 12z ECMWF and the prior 00z cangem are faster with offshore cyclogenesis and then capture over the n gulf of me, allowing llvl abv fzg air to be overran faster fri eve ovr NRN and cntrl ptns of the fa by dynamic cooling alf and llvl cold advcn from E cntrl qb. For now, we blend these two model camps similar to what is implied by the 12z ensm gfs, meaning that we begin precip as lgt sn or a mix later Thu ngt, then chg precip to msly all rn fri morn contg thru Fri aftn and erly eve, then chg rn to sn ovrngt fri with sn winding down to sct sn shwrs on sat. There are no chgs to rnfl concerns we mentioned from the prev fcst update, with the best potential of rnfl enough to lift ice on streams and riverways on the piscataquis and penobscot rvr basins, but not enough to clearly issue a flood watch attm. With regard to wntr wx hdlns, precip looks to be too light for any advs in the first part of the event Thu ngt into erly fri morn, with the chgovr tmg and snfl amts on the post rnfl ptn of the event ovrngt Fri into Sat morn still to uncertain and far out in tm to consider hdlns then, although we believe there is greater potential of snfl and hdlns durg this tm frame particularly ovr the N and W then the early phase. Long term Saturday night through Wednesday Sat ngt and Sun look to be just seasonably cool attm. A cold |
front will cross the area Sun night into Mon morning with possible snow showers acrs ptns of the area. 00z GFS is most bullish with pcpn ahead of the front with ec and cmc bringing front thru mostly dry. A reinforcing shot of cold air wl move into the area for early next week with a warming trend on wed. Aviation 19z Wednesday through Monday Near term:VFR conditions expected all TAF sites through Thursday afternoon. Short to long term: clgs and vsbys lowering from lowVFR to ifr ovrngt in lgt sn, pl, and rn across the TAF sites late Thu ngt, then contg ifr msly in rn on Fri and Fri eve, before transitioning back to sn ovrngt Fri into Sat morn. Conditions slowly improve to MVFR as sn tapers to sn shwrs Sat aftn eve and then toVFR late sat ngt contg thru sun. Marine Near term: winds seas are expected to remain below SCA levels through Thursday. Visibility is expected to remain unrestricted through the period. Short to long term: winds and seas will ramp up ovrngt thu into Fri morn to minimal gales ahead of strengthening low pres from the mid atlc states. Winds will likely subside later fri aftn and eve as the sfc low tracks ovr or very near our waters, then increase on the back side of the low late Fri ngt into sat as it moves into the can maritimes with perhaps another pd of gale force wind gusts. Winds and seas will then slowly subside thru scas Sat ngt and sun. Kept close to ww3 nwps guidance blend wv hts for these ptns of the fcst. Hydrology The combined amount of rainfall and snowmelt may be enough to lift ice and generate ice jam potential in the southern half of the forecast area, particularly the piscataquis and penobscot rvr basins. River rises are progged at 2 to 4 feet which should be sufficient to break up some ice. Further north, existing snowpack will likely absorb the rainfall without issues. The combined t TD thawing degree hour index is still not indicating any caution signals as the period of warmer temps and dew points is relatively brief, so will hold off any flood watches attm. Along the coast, high astronomical tides and storm surge at Friday morning's high tides seem likely to cause minor issues at some of the usual trouble spots such as the deer isle causeway, seawall road, and machias.
