| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Caribou ME 222pm EST Sunday Nov 2 2025 Synopsis High pressure will move southeast of the area tonight and Monday. An occluded front will cross the area Monday night. Intensifying low pressure will exit across the Maritimes Tuesday. Another low will cross the region Wednesday night then exit across the Maritimes Thursday. High pressure will cross the region Friday, with another low approaching Fri night. Near Term - Through Monday Night The large surface ridge will remain over the region tonight. A weak area of vort max will keep the low cloud deck over the north for the rest of the evening and into tonight, while the south will see clear skies. These clearing skies will bring temps into the mid to upper 20s. Decided to include patchy river fog for tonight due to the cooler temps and calm winds. For Monday, the upper level trough tracks across the Great Lakes while the surface occlusion starts to approach the state. Clouds will start to build in by the afternoon as well as S winds increasing becoming breezy. High res models show the beginning of rain showers moving into the western by the evening. Temps will be in the 50s across the region. By Monday night, the occluded boundary will move through the region bring rain showers and breezy S winds. As the boundary moves through after midnight, the breezy winds will shift from the W and showers will start to decrease. Rain totals should be less than half an inch. Temps in the upper 30s. Short Term - Tuesday Through Wednesday Night An intensifying surface low and the supporting upper trough exit across the Maritimes Tuesday. Will have a chance of mostly rain showers with the exiting system Tuesday, possibly mixed with snow showers across the higher terrain of northern Maine early. The tight pressure gradient between the intensifying Maritimes low and building high pressure, along with diurnal mixing, will support gusty northwest winds Tuesday. Generally expect gusts of 30 to 40 mph, though locally stronger gusts are also possible across higher terrain areas. Otherwise, expect generally mostly cloudy skies north and partly sunny Downeast. High pressure will build toward the region Tuesday night with partly cloudy skies north, mostly clear/partly cloudy Downeast. High pressure will cross the region Wednesday, starting to exit across the Maritimes late. At the same time, low pressure tracking across the Great Lakes will begin to approach late. Clouds will increase Wednesday in advance of the approaching system, along with a slight chance/chance of rain late. The exact track of the low Wednesday night is still uncertain. A more southerly track across the Gulf of Maine would support better rain chances across Downeast areas, with lesser precipitation chances across northern Maine. This track would also support slightly cooler temperatures, which could allow a rain/snow mix across northern areas. A more inland track, across interior Downeast areas or along the Downeast coast, would support the better rain chances across central areas and interior Downeast portions of the forecast area. This track would also allow for warmer temperatures with precipitation across the forecast area mostly in the form of rain, possibly mixing with snow late across northern areas. Precipitation chances/amounts will be dependent on the eventual track. Expect near normal level temperatures Tuesday/Wednesday. Long Term - Thursday Through Sunday An active northern stream, with several disturbances, will persist Thursday through Sunday. Deepening low pressure will exit across the Maritimes Thursday, with high pressure building toward the region late. Steady rain early Thursday will taper to rain showers, possibly mixed with snow early across northern areas. Gusty northwest winds will again occur Thursday. High pressure should briefly cross the region Thursday night into early Friday. The next fast moving system should reach the region Friday night with precipitation expanding across the forecast area. Generally expect precipitation in the form of rain, though a brief wintry mix is possible at the onset across northern areas dependent on the timing of precipitation. The system should cross the region Saturday with rain. Precipitation then tapers to rain/snow showers north, rain showers Downeast, Saturday night. Uncertainty increases later Sunday regarding another possible low approaching the forecast area. Slightly below normal level temperatures are expected Thursday/Friday/Sunday, with near normal level temperatures Saturday.

A chance of rain later Wednesday into Wednesday night. NOAA Caribou ME Office - Watches - Warnings - Advisories ME...None.
