Fxus61 kcar 250141 afdcar area forecast discussion national weather service caribou me 941 pm edt Sat aug 24 2019 Synopsis High pressure will remain overhead through Tuesday, then slides offshore through Wednesday night. A cold front crosses the area on Thursday. Near term through Sunday 930 pm update: Sat imagery has indicated that skies have pretty much clrd ovr our fa. With sfc hi pres movg ovr the rgn from qb prov, cont'd dry conditions with lgt to calm winds will promote strong radiational cooling across all xcpt the immediate coast where a lgt nne wind will hold on. MAX sfc base invsn potential upwards of 11 deg c will be ovr most favorable NW rvr vly lctns by erly Sun morn such as big black river and escourt stn where lows of mid 30s are possible alg with patchy frost. In addition cold air in contact with relatively warm rvr and lake waters will result in patchy evaporational fog near these waterways late tngt and erly Sun morn. Otherwise, latest obsv sfc temps dwpts were used to update fcst hrly values of each into the late ngt hrs and to update an approximate obsvd hi temp grid for this past late aftn with no chgs to fcst ovrngt lows (posted at 6 am sun) attm. Orgnl disc: satellite as of 18z depicts a widespread area of stratocumulus with bases around 3-4kft agl across the southern half of the cwa. High pressure currently centered over the great lakes and ontario will shift east towards maine later this afternoon, resulting in decreasing gradient flow and winds despite daytime heating and mixing. High pressure overhead will favor subsidence, decreasing cloud cover quickly from north to south and aiding in efficient radiational cooling tonight. The cooler spots across northern maine such as estcourt station are likely to dip well into the 30s and may see patchy frost. Current thinking is the aerial extent of the frost is not sufficient for any headlines. River valleys will also see fog development later tonight. High pressure will dominate on Sunday with very light winds and mostly sunny skies aside from a few pm cumulus. Bufkit forecast profiles show very light winds of 0-5kts over the boundary layer at northern sites closer to the center of the surface high. This should help temperatures warm efficiently, so a max temperature at the 75th percentile of guidance was preferred. Short term Sunday night through Tuesday A closed 700-500 hpa low passes to the S SE Sunday night-Monday as northern stream ridging remains anchored over northern parts of the region. Likely will be too much subsidence under the ridge for more than a few high clouds near the coast from the passing upper low. As a result, with light winds, expect good radiational cooling over the region Sunday night, with lows around 5 degrees below normal, with larger departures in normally cooler locations. Also expect some patchy fog, especially in area river valleys. Highs on Monday should be near to slightly above normal. Northern stream ridging builds back over the region Monday night and Tuesday as the closed low tracks farther into the canadian maritimes. Subsidence under the ridge should keep things dry, with minimal cloud cover. Good radiational cooling again Monday night, but air mass modification should yield lows a few degrees above the lows Sunday night. Should see some patchy fog Monday night as well. Highs on Tuesday should be a few degrees above normal.

Long term Tuesday night through Saturday Northern stream ridging remains over the area Tuesday night, then its axis slides to the east on Wednesday. It should remain dry with minimal cloud cover, though could see an increase in high clouds late in the day over far western portions of the cwa. Full latitude 700-500 hpa trough approaches Wednesday night, with a shortwave ahead of it bringing a slight chance to chance of showers - mainly over western zones after midnight. This trough axis crosses the area on Thursday. The models are now suggesting the potential for a shortwave embedded in the trough to trigger a weak surface low over the E gulf of maine by late Thursday - with this possibly enhancing any showers downeast. Still to early to buy into the specifics - but have increased pops to high end chance downeast Thursday afternoon noting around 1 2 of the GEFS ensemble members support the GFS and ecmwf. The region remains under the base of a cutoff low over hudson bay Thursday night-Saturday with SW flow aloft. It appears it should be mainly dry during this time frame, though there is a chance for a shortwave embedded in the flow to impact the region during this time frame. So have mainly slight chance pops, given historic poor model handling of this scenario. There is some sense of consensus on a shortwave impacting mainly N zones on Saturday - so do have low end chance pops then. Temperatures will run near to a few degrees above normal Tuesday night-Saturday. Aviation 22z Saturday through Thursday Near term: CIGS have risen across the southern terminals such as bhb and bgr where stratocumulus are still in place. Clearing is expected this evening. The main concern later tonight will be patchy river valley fog, which is most likely to affect bgr and pqi. 12z NAM forecast soundings also show a chance of radiation fog formation at other sites. However, this is probably overdone so fog mentions in tafs were limited to climatologically favored sites. Fog will quickly dissipate around sunrise. Light winds andVFR conditions are expected Sunday. Short term: Sunday night through Wednesday...VFR, except for MVFR or lower possibly in patchy fog, mainly near river valleys late at night early in the morning each night. Wednesday night-Thursday... MVFR or lower possible in isolated to scattered showers. Marine Near term: increasing east northeast winds are expected tonight with gusts up to 20kts. Temperature profiles become more stable later Sunday afternoon, leading to decreasing wind speeds and gusts. Seas less than 3 feet expected. Short term: a relaxed pressure gradient will limit winds to 10 kt or less and as a result seas to 3 ft or less Sunday night- Wednesday. Swells could bring seas on Thursday to around 4 ft on the coastal ocean waters. Car watches warnings advisories Me... None. Marine... None. Near term... Vjn short term... Maloit long term... Maloit aviation... Vjn maloit marine... Vjn maloit

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.
