WHAT HAS CHANGED
-Updated aviation section for today
KEY MESSAGES
1) Above normal temperatures early to middle of next week, along with a few rounds of rainfall, will lead to continued ice break up on northern rivers.
DISCUSSION
KEY MESSAGE 1...Above normal temperatures early to middle of next week, along with a few rounds of rainfall, will lead to continued ice break up on northern rivers.
KEY MESSAGE 1 DESCRIPTION...
Building upper level heights will lead to well above normal temps beginning Monday through the middle of next week. High temps will be in the 50s on Monday, possibly climbing into the 60s over interior Downeast on Tuesday with offshore flow.
60-degree high temps should be fairly common over most of the area by the end of the week.
Multiple waves of low pressure and rain will move through the region over the course of the next week. The first round of rain moves through on Monday, with another expected Tuesday night into Wednesday. Another round of rain is expected by the end of the week. While these rounds of rainfall are not expected to be heavy with a progressive pattern in place, they may still be enough to bring the potential for ice movement over northern rivers. Fortunately what remains of the ice across the north appears to be thinning and/or rotting in place, however where ice remains it will have the potential to break up and move with Thawing Degree Hours over 1,000 in the Aroostook, St. John and Allagash Basins.

Winds increase toward small craft levels over the ocean waters late Sunday night with gales possible Monday morning.
