Marine Weather and Tides
Version 3.4 |
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 221512 afdcar area forecast discussion national weather service caribou me 1012 am est Fri feb 22 2019 Synopsis High pressure will build toward the region through tonight then cross the region Saturday. Low pressure will cross the region later Sunday into Monday. Near term through tonight Update... no big changes to previous forecast as elements remain on track through this afternoon. The SCA was cancelled for the coastal waters. Previous discussion... High pressure will build toward the region today through tonight. Across the north and mountains expect a mostly sunny morning, then partly cloudy this afternoon with scattered flurries. Wind gusts up to around 25 mph could also cause patchy blowing snow across mostly northern areas. Mostly sunny skies are expected downeast today. Skies will remain partly cloudy across the north and mountains tonight, with mostly clear skies downeast. High temperatures today will range from the mid 20s north, to the mid 30s interior downeast with mid to upper 30s along the downeast coast. Low temperatures tonight will generally range through the single digits above and below zero north, to 10 to 15 interior downeast with mid teens along the downeast coast. Locally colder readings are possible across the entire region. Short term Saturday through Sunday night Strong high pressure is expected to be over the region Saturday morning. This system will then move eastward into the atlantic during the day Saturday as intense low pressure moves northeast into the great lakes. Clouds will increase during the day Saturday and snow is expected to develop across the region Saturday night as warm air advection ahead of the great lakes low develops. A secondary low is expected to develop south of new england early Sunday as the primary low continues to move northeast into canada. The secondary low will move northeastward along the maine coast late Sunday and Sunday evening. This will result in continued snow in the north and snow changing to sleet and rain in the coastal areas and south central portions of the region. Will use the surface temperatures for precipitation type and snow ratios for snow amounts. Snow is expected to transition to snow showers early Monday. Long term Monday through Thursday Expect gusty winds, snow showers, and cold temperatures Monday into early Tuesday as intense low pressure remains to the north of the state. High pressure is expected to build in from the |
west later Tuesday and crest over the region Wednesday morning. Another low is expected to approach from the west Wednesday night. Aviation 15z Friday through Tuesday Near term: local MVFR conditions are possible across the north and mountains today. Otherwise,VFR conditions are expected across the region today through tonight. Northwest winds will gust up to around 25 mph today. Short term:VFR conditions are expected Saturday. Ifr lifr conditions are expected Sunday and Monday. MVFR conditions are expected Tuesday. Marine Near term: there may be a few gusts up to 25 kt this afternoon otherwise winds seas will remain below SCA levels through this afternoon. Conditions could then approach small craft advisory levels again tonight. Light freezing spray is expected later tonight. Short term: will use the NAM to initialize winds then transition to the super blend winds early Monday. For waves: the primary wave system is expected to be long period southeasterly swell (1-2 feet 8 seconds) Saturday into early Sunday. A significant southeasterly fetch is expected to develop across the gulf of maine on Sunday and continue into Sunday evening until broken up by a wind shift later Sunday evening. Off-shore wind wave is then expected to become the primary wave system Sunday night into Monday with a secondary subsiding southeasterly swell. The off-shore wind wave is expected to persist into Tuesday. Total water level: a post surge is persisting along the maine coast and is expected to subside during the next 48 hours. Will adjust for this in the base tide anomaly as surge guidance is not handling this. Another significant surge is expected on Sunday as southeasterly winds increase. Surge guidance looks reasonable with a maximum surge of 1.50 feet late Sunday so will keep the base tide anomaly close to zero. Maximum surge occurs closer to low tide so threat at this time appears minimal. In bangor a large positive anomaly continues to persist at low tide due to ice. Will stay close to RFC guidance with some minor adjustments a low tide. Car watches warnings advisories Me... None. Marine... None. Near term... Duda norcross short term... Mignone long term...

Finally, tide and current data on this site is from 2007 and 2008 data bases, which may contain even older data. Changes in harbors due to building or dredging change tides and currents and for that reason many of the locations presented are no longer supported by newer data bases. For example, there is very little tidal current data in newer data bases so current data is likely wrong to some extent. This data is NOT FOR NAVIGATION. See the XTide disclaimer for details. In addition, tide and current are influenced by storms, river flow, and other factors beyond the ability of any predictive program. |
