Update...
Skies were mainly sunny at this hour across the far north and mostly cloudy across the Bangor region and Downeast areas.

A chilly morning for the colder valleys of the north, where temperature have fallen into the mid 30s. But cloud cover has resulted in temperatures only getting down to around 50 degrees in the Bangor region and across Down east areas. Current forecast on track, thus no significant changes at this time.

previous discussion Weak area of high pressure will remain across the region through tonight. Weak wave of low pressure remains well to our south, passing to the east of the mid atlantic region. Expect partly to mostly sunny skies across the region today. Weak pressure pattern at the surface will result in light and variable wind today. Afternoon highs today will range from the mid to upper 60s, except only in the upper 50s to around 60 along the coast with a sea breeze developing. Dry conditions will continue across the region tonight as high pressure slides east. Lows tonight will range from the low to mid 40s across most of the region.

SHORT TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY/
A weak but large area of high pressure on Sunday will extend from Ontario and Quebec through our region into the Maritimes.
This will bring mostly dry and seasonable weather. However, a weak upper air disturbance crossing the region around midday will bring patchy clouds and some isolated showers around midday into early afternoon. These look like low top convective showers, no more than 10K or 12K ft high. Surface high pressure will slide to the east on Monday allowing a light southwesterly return flow into the area behind the high. Temperatures and humidity will be slightly higher than they will be on Sunday.
An isolated shower is possible over the highlands Monday afternoon. This will be followed by a partly cloudy night Monday night with lows a bit warmer than previous nights as a return southwesterly flow continues around high pressure moving off to the east.

LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/
Moisture will continue to increase a bit on Wednesday behind high pressure sliding east into the Atlantic. A weak low in the northern branch flow will track through Quebec. This low may work with some of the moisture advecting into the area increasing the chances for some showers and possibly a thunderstorm along with humid conditions on Wednesday. The best chance for showers will be across central and northern areas. Another wave of low pressure tracking through Southern Canada will approach on Thursday lifting up to our northwest Thursday afternoon. This will bring another humid day with with a chance of showers and thunderstorms again, mainly across central and northern spots. A chance for showers will continue Thursday night into Friday as the low tracks north of the region.

Low pressure will continue northeast into the Northern Maritimes Friday afternoon into Friday night. Some showers will continue to be possible in the circulation around the low Friday afternoon into Friday night. The ECMWF pulls drier air into the area faster than the GFS late Friday into Friday night.
