Marine Weather and Tide Forecast for Camden, ME

NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/

1000 AM Update...Forecast remains on track, refreshed cloud cover and temperatures to reflect current observations.

6:45am Update... Increased cloud cover a bit for today across parts of Maine with a weak trough passing through, but otherwise no notable changes to the forecast at this time. Temps have also warmed up since the clouds moved in, ending any concerns about frost this morning.

Previous...

High pressure moves east of New England through the day, bringing a freshening southerly flow on it's western periphery.
This brings warming conditions into most of New Hampshire and interior western Maine as highs warm into the low to mid 70s.
Closer to the coast and into central Maine, the southerly flow brings cooler air off the water by the afternoon hours, holding highs to the upper 50s along the immediate coastline to the mid 60s through central Maine.

A weak trough riding around the northeastern periphery of a ridge centered from the Great Lakes to Hudson Bay moves through northern and eastern locations during the day today. This brings thickening cloud cover, and the chance for a few showers or sprinkles. The clouds also keeps temps down for the day, with highs likely topping out in the mid to upper 50s for most of northwestern Maine and northern Coos county.

SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM TUESDAY/
High clouds from a cut off low across the southern US filter in through the overnight hours tonight, helping to keep highs warmer than this past night. Lows likely only drop to around 50 across central and southern New Hampshire before the thickening clouds end the cooling. With the clouds arriving later through the night further north and east, lows cool into the 40s across most of Maine and northern New Hampshire, with some upper 30s possible through central Somerset county. Other than watching clouds and temps, a quiet night is expected tonight.

The elongated ridge of high pressure to the east of New England becomes reinforced through the day on Tuesday as a fresh high pressure center builds southward from northeastern Quebec. This building high brings a freshening northeasterly wind shifting to east through the day tomorrow. This set up brings in cooler air through the daytime tomorrow along the coast, where temperatures likely spend most of the day in the 50s. With filtered sunshine, temps steadily moderate further inland and to the west, with highs around 70 through the Lakes Regions of Maine and New Hampshire, and the mid 70s through the Connecticut River Valley.

LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/
Long Term Update...Little change to the long term with the incorporation of the 01z NBM. Fair weather will give way to potentially unsettled weather at the end of the week into the weekend.

Previously...

The long term period will start off with mid level ridging centered over southeast Canada with a closed low over the southeast. The ridge will likely maintain dry conditions into Wednesday with humidity starting to increase as the closed low migrates northeastward. The closed low will transition to an open wave as it crosses southern New England Thursday and Friday. This will bring more moisture into the region, while organized forcing for ascent will be lacking. Chances for showers will increase Thursday with additional chances for showers and perhaps some thunderstorms Friday. As the open wave moves offshore Friday another closed low will be approaching from the the Great Lakes region. This system will keep chances for showers in the forecast through next weekend. While there are chances for showers every day Thursday through the end of the period, no one day looks to be a washout with extended dry periods possible. High temperatures will generally climb into the 70s each day across the interior with onshore winds keeping coastal areas in the 60s. The uptick in humidity will likely become noticeable Thursday and Friday when dew points approach the low to mid 60s.

AVIATION /14Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/
Short Term...VFR conditions prevail at all terminals through the day tomorrow.

Long Term...Mainly VFR Tuesday through Wednesday. Increasing moisture during the second half of the week will bring chances for night time fog and chances for showers with perhaps some thunderstorms Friday.
