Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Caribou ME 534 AM EDT Fri May 17 2024

SYNOPSIS
A stationary front will gradually shift offshore today. A disturbance will cross the region Saturday. High pressure will move south across the region Sunday into early next week.

NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/
Latest observations indicate patchy to areas of fog over northern valleys as well as in Bangor. This fog will burn off this morning after sunrise.

Meanwhile, the frontal boundary that has produced showers and thunderstorms in recent days will continue to move offshore.
This will result in a less pronounced seabreeze today versus yesterday. However, the next longwave trough will be approaching from the west. This will be enough to bring back the threat of afternoon showers.

The greatest threat of showers will be west of Route 11 into the North Woods. However, a few showers cannot be ruled out anywhere from the Bangor region northward. With little instability, thunder is not expected today. Most of these showers will end this evening with the loss of daytime heating. The exception may be near the Quebec border where there could still be a few showers tonight. Highs today will be in the lower to mid 70s inland, with 60s at the coast. Lows tonight will be in the lower to mid 50s, except 40s along the water.

SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/
At the surface, high pressure centered near Labrador will ridge across the region Saturday while low pressure tracks south of the Gulf of Maine. Aloft, an upper level disturbance will begin to move east across the region Saturday. Uncertainty still exists regarding the interaction between the disturbance and the northern edge of the moisture field from the low tracking south of the Gulf of Maine. Expect mostly cloudy skies along with a chance of showers across the region Saturday. However, if more significant interaction occurs between the disturbance and moisture field then more extensive showers and possibly a steadier rain could occur across mostly Downeast areas. The disturbance will exit across the Maritimes Saturday night, while surface ridging persists. Will still have a chance of showers early Saturday night, with shower chances then decreasing overnight. Surface ridging persists Sunday, with upper level ridging also building toward the region. Could still have the slight chance of a shower early Sunday across southeast portions of the forecast area with the exiting system. Otherwise, expect a mostly cloudy/partly sunny morning with clouds then decreasing during the afternoon. Surface/upper level ridging cross the region Sunday night with partly cloudy/mostly clear skies. Near normal, to slightly above normal, level temperatures are expected Saturday/Sunday. The coolest temperatures are expected along the Downeast coast.

LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/
The surface ridge begins to move south Monday, while an approaching disturbance begins to flatten the upper ridge.
Expect partly sunny skies along with a slight chance of showers across northern areas Monday, with partly/mostly sunny skies Downeast. The disturbance will move north of the region Monday night, keeping partly cloudy skies along with a slight chance of showers across northern areas and partly cloudy/mostly clear skies Downeast. Uncertainty then develops Tuesday into Wednesday regarding the strength and persistence of the upper ridge. A stronger ridge would help limit shower chances Tuesday/Wednesday. A weaker ridge could allow disturbances to more easily cross the region with better shower chances. Due to the uncertainty, have kept only a slight chance/chance of showers Tuesday into Wednesday with partly cloudy skies. A frontal system could then cross the region Thursday with a chance of showers. Temperatures will remain at above normal levels Monday through Thursday.

AVIATION /09Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/
NEAR TERM: Aroostook Terminals mainly MVFR/IFR with BR and BCFG through 10-12z. LIFR with FG at PQI and BGR through 10-12z.
Brief IFR or lower possible at BHB before 12z with BCFG, otherwise VFR. All terminals trend to VFR after 12z. Brief MVFR possible with VCSH this afternoon BGR northward. Mainly VFR tonight. Possible MVFR/IFR late with BR and BCFG. Light E-NE winds this morning, becoming E-SE 5-10 kts this afternoon and tonight.

SHORT TERM:

Saturday...VFR/MVFR with a chance of showers north. VFR/MVFR, occasional IFR, Downeast with more extensive showers.
Southeast/east winds 5 to 10 knots northern areas.
Northeast/east winds around 10 knots Downeast.

Saturday night...VFR/MVFR. Decreasing shower chances.
Northeast/east winds 5 to 10 knots.

Sunday...Occasional MVFR with a slight chance of showers early.
Otherwise, VFR. Variable winds 5 to 10 knots.

Sunday night...VFR. Variable winds 5 to 10 knots.

Monday through Monday night...VFR/MVFR with a slight chance of showers north. VFR Downeast. Variable winds 5 to 10 knots.

Tuesday...Uncertainty dependent on potential low pressure.

MARINE
NEAR TERM: Wave heights around 4 feet today and tonight on the outer waters. However, seas are not expected to build above Small Craft Advisory criteria through tonight.
