Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Caribou ME 924 AM EDT Tue Apr 23 2024

SYNOPSIS
High pressure will move southeast of the area today. Low pressure will approach tonight, cross the area Wednesday, then exit across the Maritimes Thursday. High pressure will build across the region Friday into Saturday.

NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/
924AM Update...No major changes to the forecast for this update.

Previous Discussion...
High pressure will shift off the coast today as a trough of low pressure begins to approach from the west. The gradient is rather tight between the departing high and the approaching low which will result in a strong southerly breeze, especially during the midday and afternoon over the north. The warm advection and sunshine will warm the air to near 60 over the north and the low 50s Downeast. Most of the day will be sunny.
Some clouds will begin to push in from the west ahead of the approaching trough late this afternoon. Clouds will continue to increase ahead of the approaching low tonight as the southerly breeze continues. Some showers supported by convergence ahead of the approaching trough will begin to push into the western half of our area toward morning on Wednesday.

SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/
Surface low pressure will cross the region Wednesday, with the supporting upper trof starting to cross late. Expect precipitation in the form of rain through early Wednesday afternoon. Colder air will then begin to be drawn south across the region in the wake of the low later Wednesday afternoon.
This will allow the rain to transition to snow, or mix with snow, across northern and higher terrain areas during the afternoon. Generally expect precipitation to remain in the form of rain Downeast Wednesday. The surface low exits across the Maritimes Wednesday night, while the upper trof evolves into a closed low. Colder air in the wake of the surface low, along with the cold pool aloft with the closing upper low, will allow a transition to snow across the forecast area in the wake of the exiting system Wednesday night. Snow will occur across northern areas early Wednesday night, before tapering to snow showers.
Across Downeast areas, a rain/snow mix early Wednesday night will transition to snow showers before ending. Minor snow accumulations are likely across northern and central areas, along with higher terrain. However, snow totals are still uncertain dependent on how much precipitation is able to wrap back into the colder air around the exiting system. Factors which should limit snow accumulations include snow initially falling at temperatures above freezing once the transition occurs. In addition, ground temperatures could result in melting snow which would also limit accumulations. Preliminary snow accumulation estimates later Wednesday into Wednesday night are generally around an inch or less across northern and central areas. However, locally greater totals are possible at higher elevations where the transition to snow will occur earlier. Little or no snow accumulation is expected Downeast. A disturbance rotating around the exiting upper low could clip the region early Thursday. This could keep a slight chance of snow showers across mostly northeast areas early Thursday. Otherwise, high pressure will build across the region Thursday into Thursday night. Expect partly/mostly sunny skies across northern areas Thursday after any lingering early snow showers. Mostly sunny skies are expected Downeast Thursday. Clear/mostly clear skies are expected across the entire region Thursday night.
Below normal level temperatures are expected Wednesday, with falling temperatures during the afternoon. Temperatures will remain at below normal levels Thursday.

LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY/
High pressure will remain across the region Friday, then begin to exit across the Maritimes Saturday. Mostly clear skies are expected Friday through early Saturday, with clouds then starting to increase later Saturday. Low pressure tracking west of the region will draw a warm front across the region later Saturday into Sunday. Uncertainty still exists regarding the extent of rain shower coverage due to exiting high pressure across the Maritimes. Due to the uncertainty, have kept rain shower coverage at just chance levels. A chance of showers could then persist across the region into Monday. Near normal level temperatures are expected Friday. Above normal level temperatures are then expected Saturday through Monday.

AVIATION /14Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/
NEAR TERM: Some southwesterly wind shear is likely early this morning before the air mixes. Otherwise, VFR conditions are expected today into tonight with a south wind increasing to 15 kt today and dropping back to 10 kt tonight.

SHORT TERM:

Wednesday...MVFR/IFR, occasional LIFR. Rain. Rain mixing with, or changing to, snow during the afternoon across northern areas.
South winds 10 to 15 knots, becoming northwest/west 10 to 15 knots with gusts up to around 20 knots.

Wednesday night...MVFR/IFR, occasional LIFR, early. VFR/MVFR late. Snow tapering to snow showers north. A snow/rain mix tapering to snow showers Downeast. Northwest winds 10 to 20 knots with gusts 25 to 30 knots.

Thursday...Occasional MVFR possible with a slight chance of snow showers across northern areas early. Otherwise, VFR. Northwest winds 10 to 20 knots with gusts up to around 25 knots, diminishing to 10 to 15 knots.

Thursday night through Saturday..VFR. Variable winds 5 to 10 knots.

MARINE
NEAR TERM: A few wind gusts may approach 25 kt from the south today. Otherwise, winds should remain below SCA and seas around 3 ft today into tonight.

SHORT TERM: Small craft advisory conditions expected Wednesday afternoon into Thursday afternoon. A few wind gusts could also reach gale levels Wednesday night into early Thursday.
Conditions below small craft advisory levels Thursday night.
Rain Wednesday into Wednesday night. Also, a chance of snow showers Wednesday night.

FIRE WEATHER
Winds will quickly increase from the south to around 15 to 20 kt over the north and 10 to 15 kt near the coast today. The wind, combined with sunshine, dry fine fuels, and relative humidities from the upper 20s north to the 40s Downeast will result in a high fire danger and a risk of any wildfires spreading from south to north in response of the wind. The fire danger will decrease tonight and be lower on Wednesday as showers move in.

CAR WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES
ME...None.
MARINE...None.
