SYNOPSIS
High pressure will cross the region today into Saturday then slowly exit to the east later Saturday into Sunday. A warm front will cross the region Sunday. A cold front will cross the region later Sunday into Monday. Low pressure will approach from the west Tuesday.
NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/
941AM Update...No major changes to the forecast for this update.
Previous Discussion...
Surface high pressure will cross the region today through tonight. Aloft, an upper trof will exit across the Maritimes today with ridging then building toward the region tonight.
Across northern areas, expect mostly sunny skies this morning then mostly/partly sunny this afternoon with limited diurnal cloud development. Across Downeast areas, expect mostly sunny skies today. Expect mostly clear skies across the entire forecast area tonight. High temperatures today will range from the upper 40s to around 50 north, to the lower to mid 50s Downeast. An afternoon sea breeze will likely develop along the Downeast coast. Low temperatures tonight will range from the lower to mid 20s north, to the mid 20s to around 30 Downeast.
SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/
Mid/upper level ridging builds in on Saturday as surface high shifts east. Dry air through the column sets the stage for another mainly sunny day, except for some increasing high level cloudiness by afternoon. Highs Saturday afternoon will climb into the lower 60s for most areas, except onshore flow will keep things cooler for Downeast, especially the coast. Weak warm front approaches Saturday night with increasing mid/high level cloudiness, although it should remain mainly dry Saturday night. Lows Saturday night will fall into the mid to upper 30s. Models are in somewhat better agreement by Sunday that an approaching weakening short wave/cold front will bring a few showers into far northern portions of the region during Sunday afternoon.
Afternoon highs on Sunday will top out in the lower 60s for most areas, except cooler along the coast.
LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/
A weak cold front will cross the region Sunday night, with a lingering evening shower possible, mainly for northern and eastern portions of the area. Surface high pressure over Quebec province will briefly ridge across northern Maine later Sunday night into Monday, with dry conditions. Low pressure will track to the north of the Great Lakes Monday night and Tuesday. Moisture will begin to increase along a frontal boundary to our west later Monday night and Tuesday. This will bring the chance for showers Tuesday and Tuesday night. Looks like upper ridge may build back by mid week with a possible trend toward drier conditions. Another weak system could bring more showers by late next week. Afternoon highs are expected to be a bit above normal Monday, near to a bit below normal Tuesday and Wednesday, and then above by Thursday.
AVIATION /14Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/
NEAR TERM: VFR conditions expected today through tonight.
Northwest/north winds around 10 knots today, except becoming onshore along the Downeast coast this afternoon. Light and variable winds tonight.
