SYNOPSIS
A back door cold front will cross the area from east to west today, before dissipating near the Quebec border tonight. Weak high pressure from the west then returns to the region through Tuesday night, before slowly drifting east Wednesday and Wednesday night. A complex storm system then slowly approaches from the west late in the week.

NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/
940am Update...
Clouds slowly increasing from east to west. As of 940am, the western edge of the mid-level cloud deck lies along the New Brunswick border of Aroostook, and extends into all of Washington County. These clouds will spread west through the day, resulting in skies increasing to partly to mostly cloudy.
Lowered temperatures a bit in the cloudier areas along the New Brunswick border and into Washington County, as with weak cold advection and clouds, don't expect much more rise in temperatures. Otherwise, no changes.

Prev Disc: Whats left of an occluded sfc low and associated upper low ovr the Ern Maritimes will cont moving SSE Tdy back ovr the adjacent open N Atlc. Most of the remaining shwr band will likely dissipate before reaching Ern ME due to downsloping between the NB highlands and the Ern ME/NB border by erly to mid Morn. Cyclonic flow alf, however, will allow xtnsv AC/SC cld cvr to retrograde wwrd ovr the FA durg the day, with this cld cvr xpctd to persist somewhat ovr the FA Tngt as the upper low conts to make contd slow progress SE. High temps this Aftn will be sig cooler than ystdy ovr Ern areas, but will still be be warm ovr far NW vlys which be near the wrn edge of the SC cld cvr. Temps will again fall to near seasonal ovrngt lows with mainly ptly cldy skies and lgt and vrbl winds.

SHORT TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/
An omega block sets up through the period with high pressure at the surface and aloft dominating area weather. The temperature trend will be warmer from Tuesday to Wednesday as the cooler NE flow ends and warmer 925/850mb temps arrive with the building ridge. Under a generally light flow regime, sea breeze processes will be in effect both days towards the coast with resultant lower high temps compared to inland. The onshore flow and increasingly moist air will promote coastal fog both nights, especially Wednesday night.

Did add slight chance PoPs Wednesday afternoon for a slight chance of a shower or thunderstorm in Piscataquis County.

LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/
The omega block breaks down slowly Thursday into Friday as a vigorous upper level cut-off develops in the Great Lakes region on Thursday. The question will be how quickly the block breaks down, if at all for portions of the forecast area. The cut-off upper low seems likely to stay west of the area late week and have reduced PoPs on Thursday and Friday. Along the same lines, increased high temps inland both days. In fact, in northern Aroostook, Thursday may be as warm or warmer than Wednesday.
Closer to the coast, increased likelihood of onshore flow and clouds should ensure cooler temps Thursday into the weekend.

Have capped PoPs at chance for Thursday night into the weekend due to the uncertainty of the upper low meanderings and blocking.
Best chance for rain currently appears to be on Saturday as a front pushes through, but all guidance has trended down on PoPs and QPF for the late week into the weekend and it is not inconceivable that northern and eastern Maine receive little precip from the entire event.

Regardless of where the upper low wobbles through the weekend, odds favor the upper ridge regenerating early to mid next week.

AVIATION /14Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/
NEAR TERM: Tdy...all TAF sites initially unlmtd VFR, then VFR clgs by Aftn. Lgt NE winds.

Tngt...all TAF sites VFR clgs to unlmtd VFR. Intermittent MVFR clgs possible Nrn TAF sites. Lgt and vrbl winds.

SHORT TERM: Tuesday night into Wednesday...VFR with light winds.

Wednesday night into Thursday morning...VFR with light winds except near coastal sites such as BHB and BGR where odds of IFR cigs/vis are greater than 50 percent.

Thursday afternoon...VFR with light winds.

Thursday night into Friday morning...VFR with light winds except near coastal sites such as BHB and BGR where odds of IFR cigs/vis are greater than 50 percent.

MARINE
NEAR TERM: No hdlns xpctd Tdy and Tngt with winds/seas well below SCA thresholds. Kept close to blended wv model guidance with emphasis on NWPS for fcst wv hts. Wvs will be composed of three spectral groups during this time; a very short 2-3sec group, a short 4-6sec group, and a longer semi-swell group around 8sec.

SHORT TERM: Strong stability through the period will ensure generally light winds and seas no higher than 3 to 4 feet. The stability will promote fog at times as early as Tuesday night.
Fog will become more likely Wednesday night into Thursday and will remain a threat into the weekend. Southwest winds Tuesday night into Wednesday will trend towards south to southeast for late week into the weekend.
