SYNOPSIS
A cold front approaches crosses the region tonight. High pressure builds in Monday through Tuesday, then tracks south of the Gulf of Maine Wednesday. High pressure returns Thursday, followed by another approaching low from the west on Friday.

NEAR TERM /THROUGH MONDAY/
A cold front will push out of Quebec this evening tracking into Maine from NW to SE through the evening. Expect isolated to scattered rain showers across the area with not a lot of accumulation generally less than 0.1 inch. Cold front is expected to cross NW to SE between 9PM and 2AM. Winds will shift NW tonight after FROPA and become gusty 20-30mph. Although cold air advection the airmass isn't that overly cold so expecting lows to bottom out in the upper 30s to low 40s across the north, mid 40s in the Central Highlands and low 40s along the Downeast Coast. Skies will be mainly mostly cloudy but will see gradual clearing after midnight after FROPA.

Tomorrow, surface high pressure will slide east over the Gulf of Maine off the southern New England coast. Very dry airmass with modeled 850-250mb RH plots 20-25% suggesting skies turning mainly clear with fully sunshine except a few clouds across far Northeast Aroostook. Tomorrow the pressure gradient will be tight enough for N-NNW winds 10-15mph with gusts 25-30mph especially in the Central Highlands to the Crown. Expect temperatures to warm into the low to mid 60s across the Downeast Coast inland to the Route 6 corridor thanks to a downslope wind off the Longfellow Mtns. Baxter/Moosehead regions northward expect low to mid 50s which is typical for these locations being cooler in N-NNW wind days.

We will have to keep an eye on fire weather conditions tomorrow given the dry fuels, gusty winds and we see a mixed atmosphere up to 900mb. Minimum RHs in the afternoon will fall back into the 30-35% range in the downslope locations of the Highlands and Downeast coast. Interior Washington into the Crown and back into the North Woods the Min RHs should bottom out in the 40-44% range.

SHORT TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/
High pressure will build into the area Monday night into Tuesday, leading to mostly clear skies. Northerly flow will continue, which will advect some cooler air into the region and keep highs in the mid to upper 50s.

Clouds will begin to build in across the forecast area Tuesday evening into Tuesday night ahead of a low pressure system that will pass south of the area through the day on Wednesday. This low will begin to weaken as it interacts with the ridge of high pressure, and so not much in the way of measurable precip is expected. With warmer than average temperatures this week, precip will be all rain. Additionally, with the low track south of the Gulf of Maine, rainfall will only reach up through Interior Downeast on Wednesday, with the northern half of the forecast area remaining mostly dry.

LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/
High pressure will return to the area on Thursday behind the recent batch of rain showers Downeast. Another quick moving shortwave will approach from the NW Thursday night into Friday.
This is will the uncertainty begins to increase, as the interaction with the ridge of high pressure could lead to a slowed progression of this shortwave, which instead of passing through the area Thursday afternoon, may hold off until Thursday night into Friday.

A fairly progressive pattern is expected into the weekend, as another warm front lifts north towards the area behind the Thursday-Friday shortwave, followed by an occluding front into the weekend. This system will provide the next chance (30 - 40%)
of a wetting rain across the entire forecast area. Factors that could impact this system include the high pressure during the middle of the week which could slow the progression of this system down or cause it to weaken as it approaches.

Temperatures are forecast to remain above average for this time of the year through the long term, with highs in the upper 50s to lower 60s and lows in the 40s.
