(on/off) Help NOTE: mouseover dotted underlined text for definition| Fxus61 kcar 202209 afdcar area forecast discussion national weather service caribou me 609 pm edt Tue aug 20 2019 Synopsis High pressure will cross the region tonight. A warm front will cross the region Wednesday. A cold front will cross the region Thursday. Another cold front will cross the region Friday. High pressure will build across the region later Saturday through Sunday. Near term through Wednesday 6:09 pm update: satellite pictures show that other than a few cumulus clouds in northeast aroostook county it is clear across the entire fa early this evening. Tonight will be a clear night with seasonable temperatures as high pressure centered across southwest maine slowly moves off the down east coast overnight. Added a bit of patchy late night river valley fog across the aroostook and saint john river valleys toward day break and lowered the lows a few degrees in the broad northwest valleys, but otherwise no changes at this time. Previous discussion: high pressure will cross the region tonight through early Wednesday with mostly clear skies. Low pressure will begin to intensify across quebec province Wednesday, drawing a warm front toward the region late. Shower thunderstorm chances will increase, from west to east, Wednesday afternoon. Based on forecast soundings, helicity and shear values indicate the potential for rotating storms later in the afternoon and evening. A low level jet also begins to strengthen in advance of the warm front. Have included enhanced wording for gusty winds and hail across western portions of the forecast area from late Wednesday afternoon into the evening where severe thunderstorms are possible. Low temperatures tonight will range from around 50 to the mid 50s north, to the mid to upper 50s downeast. High temperatures Wednesday will range from around 80 to the lower 80s across much of the region, with mid to upper 70s along the downeast coast with onshore winds. Short term Wednesday night through Friday Shortwave or area of remnant convection will track across new england Wednesday evening and overnight. This will bring chance of thunderstorms with small hail or gusty winds early, and heavy rain throughout. Anticipate a swath of rain and showers to accompany this as exit region of upper level jet approaching from the west adds support to plenty of moisture in lower levels. Thunderstorms will potentially be embedded, and in the highly sheared environment, would pose a gusty wind threat. At the evening timing, these storms will mostly rely on mixed layer instability with close to nil surface based cape. Some of the convective composites or parameters (such as stp or scp) may be giving erroneously high numbers due to large amounts of helicity or shear vs. Comparatively low instability within the complex. How guidance handles the system as it tracks east on Wednesday will vary the region of best forcing and thus wind hail threat. This expands to heavy rain threat as well, but more confidence here with lifting warm front. Know much of the fa will be in warm sector with moisture values like pwat surging into 1.5-2” range during evening and overnight hours. Precipitation potential placement highlights downeast as greatest chance for heavy rain as well as converging and nearly balanced corfidi sfc wind vectors. These vectors become more uniform in direction as |
cold front begins to slide through the north early Thursday morning. Downeast would be under threat of more thunderstorms Thursday afternoon if cold front is slow enough, allowing surface instability to gain strength once again during day. Potent 40-50kts of 0-6km shear will also be in place for chance of a isolated stronger storm over interior washington hancock co if some clearing occurs. Front will track to clear downeast Thursday night with dry conditions expected for much of the area Friday. Some remaining moisture could bring a isolated shower or two in the crown of maine during afternoon. High temperatures will be cooler on the way into the weekend. Long term Friday night through Tuesday Upr lvl trof wl be exiting into the canadian maritimes at the start of the long term with just an isold shower possible Fri evng. Med range guidance differs on upr air pattern beginning 00z Sun with 12z gfs indicating the base of a h5 trof ovr long island vs cmc ec h5 low in vicinity of new england.

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. |
