Synopsis
High pressure will cross the region through Sunday. A warm front will cross the region Sunday. A cold front will cross the region later Sunday night into Monday. Low pressure will approach from the west Tuesday and track south of the Gulf of Maine into Wednesday.

Near Term - Through Tonight
Update... Another chilly late April morning with current temperatures at this hour ranging from the lower 20s to around 30 degrees under clear skies. Just minor adjustments to hourly temps and dew points.

previous discussion Mid and upper level ridge will build across the region today as surface high drifts east. Abundant sunshine is expected once again today, although we will start to see some increasing high level clouds by later this afternoon. High temperatures this afternoon will climb to around 60 degrees across much of the region away from the coast. Dry weather is expected to continue tonight as the mid and upper level ridge begins to break down in advance of a weak warm front. Expect mainly clear skies this evening to be followed by increasing high and mid level clouds tonight. Lows tonight will range from the mid to upper 30s across the region.

Short Term - Sunday Through Monday
Sunday morning likely to see area between departing hipressure and approaching cold front at the sfc. Aloft upper ridge axis will be centered over the region and should slow progression of any showers in the morning before approaching wave begins to flatten the ridge and showers move into the region by 18z, from about the Baxter Region northward. Southerly winds will bring warm temps for all but the immediate coast with inland areas climbing into the 60s and coastal regions stuck in the mid-40s.

Front will approach fm the northwest Sunday evening with frontal passage occurring across the north after 06z, central areas by 09z and offshore by 12z. Spotty showers are expected with boundary, though most areas should remain dry. Temps will drop into the 30s over the North s by morning but remain in the l/m 40s over Downeast.

Dry Canadian high pressure will begin to build in on Monday with gusty nw winds expected. Have undercut dewpoints on Monday afternoon given the dry airmass and have blended in the 10th percentile of the NBM with CONSMOS for the afternoon and evening hours. Min relative humidity values Monday afternoon will drop to around 35% but may be need to lower these in the coming days. Highs across the north will be near normal with southern areas above normal in offshore flow.

Ridge axis will be square over the region Monday night keeping us precip-free during the overnight hours. Given dry airmass and mostly clear skies initially temps should be able to drop to near freezing across the north.

Long Term - Monday Night Through Friday
Middle of the week should remain mainly precip-free with the exception of Tuesday night into Wednesday morning as potential surface low slides off of the southern New England coast. Operational runs of EC and CMC indicate this potential impacting Downeast with rain while GFS (Global Forecast System) is too strong with surface high to move much in the way of measurable rainfall onto the coast. Ensemble runs at both the surface and aloft wash out any significant features and have lowered probability of precipitation for Tuesday and Wednesday.

Wednesday night will see upper ridge crest over the area with next in a series of subtle s/wvs drifting across the area thru the end of the week. Temps on Thu and Fri will climb into the 60s for inland areas

Marine
Near Term: Winds/seas will remain below SCA (Small Craft Advisory) levels through tonight.

Short Term: Seas and winds below small craft conditions through the middle part of next week.
