Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Caribou ME 306 AM EST Tue Jan 21 2020

SYNOPSIS. High pressure will cross the region today. A warm front will cross the area Wednesday. A cold front will cross Maine Friday. Low pressure will approach the area Saturday night and will pass south of the area Sunday.

NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/. High pressure centered across the nations midsection will continue to build east through tonight. After a mainly sunny start to the day, expect increasing mid and high cloud this afternoon. Highs this afternoon will rise into the lower teens across the north and mid to upper teens central and downeast areas, which is continued below normal for this time of year.

A mid level trough will cross the region tonight. This will result in partly to mostly cloudy sky condition developing, along with scattered flurries, mainly across northern and central areas. The combination of more in the way of cloud cover and light south wind will limit radiational cooling, thus it wont be as cold as the last few nights. Still, lows are expected to fall to around zero across the north and the single digits above zero across central and downeast areas.

SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/. A mid level trough will exit into the Maritimes Wed morning and will be followed by ridging aloft. A much milder air mass will follow as a warm front lift across the area Wed. A few flurries are possible Wed morning, mainly to the north of the Moosehead Lake and Katahdin Regions. Otherwise, there will be a mix of clouds and sun north with a partly to mostly sunny sky Downeast. Highs Wed will be 10 to 15 degrees (F) warmer than Tue, and will range from the low 20s in the north to near 30 degrees in Bangor and Downeast. Wed night and Thu will be dry with well above average temperatures. Lows will mostly be in the teens with highs Thu near freezing north with m/u 30s Downeast.

LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/. A backdoor cold front will drop south across the area Friday with modified arctic air. There could be a few flurries with the front across the north. Temperatures will be a bit colder Friday, but still above average for late January. The front will eventually sink down into the northern Gulf of Maine by Fri night. The next system is expected to be near the NY Bight by 00z Sunday. The models and ensembles are in better agreement now that the low tracks along the frontal boundary and into the southern Gulf of Maine by 12Z Sunday. The low is expected to track south of Nova Scotia Sun night and will east of Nova Scotia during the day Mon. The most significant QPF will likely be across the Downeast with lesser amounts to the north. The Canadian along with some model ensembles have a sharp cut-off to the north with little/no snow across the northern half of the FA. Precipitation type may come into play along the immediate coast, but with the track it should be snow event inland. The potential event is still 6 days out so there is still plenty of time to refine the forecast. Will not make any significant changes to the ongoing forecast with likely PoPs Downeast and chance PoPs in the north. Refinements will likely be made in the coming days as forecaster confidence hopefully increases.

AVIATION /08Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/. NEAR TERM: VFR conditions expected today through tonight. The exception will be the possibility of a period of MVFR ceilings at the Aroostook county terminals late tonight.

SHORT TERM: Predominately VFR expected Wed-Sat. A period or two with MVFR ceilings possible at the Aroostook County terminals Wed morning and again Wed night.

MARINE. NEAR TERM: Wind/seas will remain below SCA levels through tonight, outside of a few gusts up to 25 kt early this morning. Light Freezing Spray will be an issue this morning.

SHORT TERM: The wind and seas will remain below small craft advisory levels Wednesday through Sat morning. A strong SCA or gales will be possible by late Sat or Sat night.

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.
