Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Caribou ME 307pm EDT Monday Oct 14 2024 Synopsis Low pressure in the Gulf of Maine will track north along the Maine and New Brunswick border this evening. The low will remain north of the area into Tuesday night. High pressure will build toward the region late in the week. Near Term - Through Tuesday The center of the large low pressure system will move off to the NE tonight. High-res models continue to show the system moving fairly quickly with the secondary trough following behind the initial rain band. This trough will move slower as it wraps around the low. Thus the heavier rain bands are expected to move across the north tonight. The 925-850mb model temps show to cold air moving in tonight from the NW dropping temps, especially in the North s. More confidence in the possibility of a rain/snow mix to snow in the North s and higher terrain. After midnight, the majority of the rain will move out of the region to the north. Patchy fog is expected to develop through this evening and tonight. By Tuesday, the upper level trough will swing through the area bringing rain showers across the north. In the morning the rain will move from NW to SE with the sinking of the trough. W winds will become breezy and increase throughout the day. By the afternoon, rain showers will move across the north. High-res models are becoming more consistent with rain/snow showers in the North s and Mt Katahdin with the W flow. High temps in the rest of the region are expected to reach into the mid 40s. Short Term - Tuesday Night Through Thursday The vertically stacked low continues to drift northward in the Maritimes Tuesday night into Wednesday. The combination of upper level troughing, surface troughing and low level instability keeps rain and snow showers in the forecast Tuesday night into Wednesday morning for northern zones. The cooler air will be fully entrenched by later Tuesday night and gives snow showers a better chance at lower elevations across the North s and Aroostook County. The upper trough rapidly pulls out Wednesday afternoon with decreasing shower chances and clouds. Highs on Wednesday will range from the mid 40s north to near 50F on the coast. Am going with clearing skies Wednesday night into the weekend with the strong ridging building eastward into the area. However, given the time of year, will have to keep a wary eye on stratocu fields as long as a northwest flow lasts Wednesday night into Thursday. Wednesday night offers a legitimate threat for widespread frost. While usually not a noteworthy item in mid-October for northern and eastern Maine, it has been exceptionally mild and widespread frost has not yet occurred. As such, bias-corrected guidance still looks really bad for Wednesday and Thursday night. As a result, leaned towards the 50th percentile of the NBM. Cannot rule out a few readings in lower 20s...or even upper teens and the forecast may need more downward revision. The temperature trend will be moderating Thursday with highs in the 50s. Long Term - Thursday Night Through Monday All guidance agrees that a powerful dome of high pressure at the surface and aloft builds Thursday night into Saturday. The ridge then tends to flatten late in the weekend with a risk of a weakening northern stream cold front on Sunday. Thursday night continues to look primed for a second consecutive night of widespread frost under clear skies and light winds. A sharp and shallow radiation inversion will make it difficult for guidance to do well. Went towards 50th percentile of NBM again and may need to go lower. Temperatures continue to moderate Friday into Saturday with highs in the 60s...and even a shot at a few late season 70F readings. These temperatures continue on Sunday except towards Aroostook County where clouds from the decaying front may keep highs closer to the 60F mark. The front will fall apart as it hits northern Maine on Sunday. Little or no precipitation is expected. The large dome of upper level high pressure builds again for early next week with continued dry and seasonably mild conditions. Marine Near Term: The Small Craft Advisory has been extended through tonight and Tuesday due to gusty winds and seas 5-8 ft. Short Term: Expect winds and seas will warrant keeping an SCA until later Wednesday. Afterwards, no advisories are anticipated through the weekend. NOAA Caribou ME Office - Watches - Warnings - Advisories ME...None. Marine Small Craft Advisory until 8am EDT Wednesday for ANZ050>052. |
