Synopsis
A cold front moves off the coast this evening. High pressure will build in from the Great Lakes tonight into Thursday and slide south of our area Friday into Saturday. High pressure will rebuild to our north on Sunday as low pressure intensifies along the Mid Atlantic coast. Low pressure will approach from the south on Monday as high pressure remains in the north.

Near Term - Through Thursday Night
Frontal system passes to our southeast, moving out into the Atlantic, as rain showers begin to weaken through the Downeast region. Rain totals today ranging from about half an inch to an inch and a quarter throughout northern and central Maine. High pressure from the mid-west builds in New England, with cold and dry air settling over the area. Partially cloudy to overcast skies. Winds from the northwest which will be gusty during the evening into tomorrow. Skies begin to clear out tonight, with some lower temperatures in the low 30s in the north, and upper-30s Downeast. Not expecting too much of a temperature drop, however, since decoupling will probably be minimized from rather constant winds all night.

Tomorrow, high pressure begins to settle over the region, with skies beginning to clear out. Cooler high temperatures tomorrow, with highs in the mid-40s in the north and low-50s Downeast. Winds go calm Thursday night, with clear skies and cool 850mb temps. As a result, expecting a good set up for radiational cooling, as temperatures to drop into the 20s in the north, and low-30s Downeast. Freeze Watch out for Downeast and Bangor region zones still in growing season. Take precaution for sensitive vegetation and pipes.

Short Term - Friday Through Saturday
High pressure will continue to build into the region on Friday, with light winds and clear skies persisting. Temperatures will begin to rebound some after a cold start to the day, with highs lifting into the mid to upper 50s. Winds will become calm Friday night as the high pressure sitting around 1030 mb remains in place, and with continued clear skies, surface decoupling will lead to another efficient radiational cooling night with lows falling into the mid 30s across the forecast area. Frost is possible across all areas aside from the immediate coast. On Saturday, clear skies and light winds under persistent high pressure will allow for temperatures to lift back into the lower 60s. Dry weather remains in place.

Long Term - Saturday Night Through Wednesday
High pressure remains in place through the weekend, with gradually rebounding temperatures and relatively light winds. An area of low pressure could approach from the south into early next week. There is still some uncertainty in how strong the high pressure will remain into this time. Even with the high pressure in place, the area of the low pressure will be expanding through this time, which will allow for a chance for rainfall in our CWA, particularly Downeast. But should the ridge of high pressure stay centered over the state, the low and its influence could remain offshore. Conversely, if the ridge breaks down more quickly, the deepening area of low pressure could even cause an increase in winds into our forecast area. Model consensus for the time being is that rain could move into the Downeast region, but the center of the low will remain well to our south.

Marine
Near Term: Small Craft Advisory up this evening through tomorrow morning for the outer waters due to seas around 5-6 ft and wind gusts up to 30 kts. Inter-coastals fall below small craft advisory, with gusts up to 20 kt still possible. Winds from the SW. Rain moves over waters this evening, and clears out by tomorrow.

Short Term: Winds and seas should remain below small craft advisory criteria through the end of the week and weekend. Seas will begin to increase early next week as a low pressure system passes to the south.
