Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Caribou ME 900 AM EDT Thu Apr 25 2024

SYNOPSIS
Low pressure will exit across the Maritimes today. High pressure will build across the region later today into Saturday. A warm front will approach from the southwest Sunday and move to the Saint John Valley on Monday.

NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/
900AM Update...Flurries continue in areas across the north. No major changes to the forecast for this update.

Previous Discussion...
Surface/upper level low pressure will exit across the Maritimes today. A disturbance rotating around the upper low will clip the region early today. The disturbance could bring scattered flurries to northern portions of the forecast area this morning.
Otherwise, high pressure will build across the region later today through tonight. Expect partly/mostly sunny skies north, sunny Downeast, today. The pressure gradient between the exiting Maritimes low and building high pressure will support gusty northwest winds today. Wind gusts of 30 to 35 mph are expected through early this afternoon, then decreasing late. Mostly clear skies are expected across the region tonight. High temperatures today will range from around 40 to the lower 40s north, to the mid to upper 40s Downeast. Low temperatures tonight will range from the upper teens to around 20 north, to the lower to mid 20s Downeast.

SHORT TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/
Upper level trof axis will be exiting east across the Canadian Maritimes during Friday. Deep layered northwest flow of dry air remains in place through the afternoon under mainly sunny skies.
Afternoon highs will top out around the 50 degree mark across the north and the low to mid 50s for Bangor and Downeast.

Upper trof continues to exit to the east with rising heights as upper ridging begins to build in. Surface high slides across the region with mainly clear skies and light winds. Radiational cooling conditions should allow for overnight lows falling into the mid to upper 20s.

Upper level ridge builds east toward the region on Saturday as surface high slides east. Expect another mainly sunny day with milder afternoon high temperatures. Developing onshore flow will keep afternoon highs several degrees cooler for the immediate coast and outer islands.

LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/
Saturday night should remain dry as upper ridging and dry air remains in place. Any showers in advance of a weakening short wave and warm front from the west should hold off until later Sunday afternoon. A cold front will then begin to move into far northern areas later Sunday night and then tend to dissipate across the area during Monday. Low pressure will track northeast toward James Bay during Monday drawing a warm front toward the region, along with the chance of late night showers. An occluded front will cross the region later Tuesday through Wednesday with the chance for showers, or even perhaps a steadier rain. Afternoon high temperatures will tend to average a bit above normal for this time of year.

AVIATION /13Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/
NEAR TERM: Local MVFR conditions possible across northern areas this morning with scattered flurries. Otherwise, VFR across the region today through tonight. Northwest winds 10 to 20 knots with gusts up to around 30 knots through early this afternoon, then decreasing to 10 to 15 knots with gusts up to 25 knots later this afternoon. Northwest winds 5 to 10 knots tonight.

SHORT TERM: Friday through Saturday night...VFR conditions expected. NW wind 10 to 15 kt on Friday, light and variable Friday night, then becoming light SE Saturday and Saturday night.

Sunday through Monday...VFR/MVFR.

MARINE
NEAR TERM: A Small Craft Advisory remains in effect for all the waters through 2 PM. Winds/seas then below small craft advisory levels later this afternoon through tonight.
