| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Caribou ME 151pm EDT Tuesday Oct 13 2026 .WHAT HAS CHANGED... -Issued Gale Warning for eastern waters (ANZ050 and ANZ080) for tonight. - More southerly track for the weekend system. .KEY MESSAGES... 1) Significant precipitation persisting tonight, with light wintry precipitation remaining possible over Moosehead and North s areas tonight. The wintry precipitation is not expected to impact travel, and flooding is not expected. 2) Widespread rain is likely again Friday/Friday night. Chance of accumulating wintry precipitation for northern areas and strong winds Friday night into Saturday. KEY MESSAGE 1...Significant precipitation persisting tonight, with light wintry precipitation remaining possible over Moosehead and North s areas tonight. The wintry precipitation is not expected to impact travel, and flooding is not expected. KEY MESSAGE 1 DESCRIPTION... 1022 surface high sitting over eastern New Brunswick with ridge axis extending along the Downeast coast. Low pressure located over the Great Lakes with warm front nosing into northern New England has resulted in chilly air remaining locked in over CWA. 18z raob from KCAR has lowest 5kft still dry with bulk of the rainfall over southern areas. Snow is falling in the Millinocket area and up into the North s as of 17z. Expect that airmass will saturate down over the next 1-2 hours with a cold rain likely for most of the area. The exception to this continues to be the North s and St. John Valley where light snow or a rain/snow mix expected to continue late this afternoon through the evening with around an inch over the highest elevations but little or no accumulation elsewhere. Overall Quantitative Precipitation Forecast amounts will average around 0.70-0.80 inches over the far north and around 1 inch over central areas. The Downeast coast forecast to see between 1.25-1.50 inches as triple point develops late tonight and moves along the Downeast coast. Cannot rule out nuisance and small ponding of water on area roadways with drains being clogged with leaves. KEY MESSAGE 2...Widespread rain is likely again Friday/Friday night. Chance of accumulating wintry precipitation for northern areas and strong winds Friday night into Saturday. KEY MESSAGE 2 DESCRIPTION... A strong low pressure system is expected to develop over the Great Lakes, then move west towards the state this weekend. This system is expected to bring widespread precipitation to the region Friday. As of this update, the ensemble models continue to show a split between a northern and southern track. Specifically, the GEFS seems to be the outlier with the northern track. If the southern track across the Downeast coast and Gulf of Maine happens, then we can expect a more easterly wind will limit the amount of warm air transport, allowing for more cold air advection and snow development. Nevertheless, once the system exits on Saturday, the approaching high pressure will tighten pressure gradients causing NW winds to increase. Expect gusty winds possibly up to 35 mph. Marine Small craft conditions this evening with seas ranging from 4-6 feet and winds gusting to 25-30kts. Eastern waters, specifically zones 50 and 80 will gust above 34kts, thus have upgraded to a gale warning between 00-08z. Winds diminish after 12z but seas remain elevated through the day on Wednesday. NW winds increase above SCA (Small Craft Advisory) levels Wednesday night and gales over the outer waters late Wednesday night into Thursday morning. SCA (Small Craft Advisory) winds and seas Wednesday night through mid-day Thursday on the coastal waters. Gales possible early Thursday on the outer waters. Below SCA (Small Craft Advisory) conditions on all waters Thursday night. Winds and seas increase Friday, likely reaching gale criteria on all waters Friday night through Saturday. Seas reach up to 13 ft on the outer waters and 10 ft on the coastal waters Saturday. NOAA Caribou ME Office - Watches - Warnings - Advisories ME...None. Marine Gale Warning from 8pm this evening to 4am EDT Wednesday for ANZ050-080. Small Craft Advisory until 8pm EDT Wednesday for ANZ051. Small Craft Advisory until 2pm EDT Wednesday for ANZ052. |
