SYNOPSIS
High pressure will cross the area today into Friday. A warm front will approach Friday night then cross the region Saturday. Intensifying low pressure tracking across Maine will draw a cold front across the region Sunday night into Monday.

NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/
6:37 AM Update...Dropped the Small Craft Advisory for the outer waters with this update, as gusts have dropped below 25 knots there. Please see the Marine section for more details. Also, updated the Aviation section to reflect the 12z TAFs. Otherwise, increased PoPs slightly for the Crown of Maine for a few isolated snow showers and snow flurries early this morning.

Previous Discussion...
Latest satellite data shows clouds over northern and eastern parts of the forecast area. This is due to moisture being advected in from the St. Lawrence. To the southwest, skies are mainly clear. A few snow flurries are falling from around Presque Isle northward, which will come to an end by sunrise.
Little or no snow accumulation with these flurries. Clouds will be slow to clear today across the North, which will make a cold day. Expect highs in the upper teens to lower 20s from around Katahdin northward. Further south, more sunshine is expected, but temperatures will still be below normal. Highs there will mostly be in the mid 20s.

Expecting winds to drop off tonight as high pressure builds in.
Some clouds could limit radiational cooling a bit across the North, but still expecting a cold night there. Lows are forecast to drop below zero in the colder valleys, possibly to 10 below in the coldest spots, with single digits above zero in the warmer spots. Mainly clear skies tonight south of Katahdin, with lows mostly in the single digits above zero. Spots along the immediate coast will likely bottom out in the teens.

SHORT TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/
High pressure will cross the region Friday through Friday night. A warm front will also begin to approach later Friday night. Expect mostly clear skies across the region Friday through Friday night. The warm front will cross the region Saturday with increasing clouds. Mostly cloudy skies are then expected Saturday night. Below normal level temperatures are expected Friday, with near normal level temperatures Saturday.

LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/
Intensifying low pressure will track from the Mid-Atlantic region, across New England, to southern Maine Sunday through Sunday night along with a trailing cold/occluded front. The low then tracks northeast across Maine Monday drawing the front across the forecast area. There has been an overall eastward trend with the track of the low. Warmer air will be drawn north across the forecast area in advance of the low and front. Based on temperatures and critical thickness values expect precipitation in the form of rain. Rain chances will begin to increase Sunday. A steady rain will develop in advance of the cold/occluded front Sunday night, which could be heavy at times.
Rain, heavy at times, will persist in advance of the front into Monday. Rain will taper to showers in the wake of the front Monday afternoon. Snow showers could mix with the rain showers across northern areas in the wake of the front Monday afternoon. A strong low level jet will also cross the region in advance of the cold/occluded front Sunday night into Monday. The low level jet will help support strong gusty south winds across the entire region. The strongest winds are expected across Downeast areas. particularly along the coast. An upper level trof will cross the region Monday night. Expect mostly/partly cloudy skies across northern areas Monday night along with decreasing snow shower chances. Across Downeast areas, expect partly cloudy skies along with a chance of rain/snow showers early Monday night with clouds then decreasing overnight. High pressure will cross the region Tuesday through Tuesday night, with a cold front approaching later Tuesday night. Expect partly sunny skies north, mostly sunny Downeast, Tuesday. Expect increasing clouds across northern areas Tuesday night with a slight chance of snow showers late in advance of the approaching cold front, with partly cloudy skies Downeast. The cold front will cross the region Wednesday, with high pressure then building in the wake of the front. Could have a slight chance of snow showers with the front across the north and mountains Wednesday. Otherwise, expect mostly cloudy/partly sunny skies north with partly sunny skies Downeast. Much above normal level temperatures are expected Sunday/Monday. Near normal level temperatures are expected Tuesday/Wednesday.
