| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Caribou ME 309pm EDT Wednesday Oct 29 2025 Synopsis High pressure will remain north of the area tonight. Low pressure will approach on Thursday, cross the area Friday, then continue into Eastern Canada on Saturday. High pressure will build in from the southwest on Sunday. Near Term - Through Thursday Night A 1024mb surface high remains to our north over the Gaspe Peninsula and drifting slowly east into the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Elongated open shortwave energy responsible for high clouds today will push NE overnight as mid level warm front lifts NE. Moisture will be advecting northward tonight but skies will turn mostly clear over western zones and partly to mostly cloudy over eastern zones. Light and variable winds will go calm which will allow temperatures to fall back with decoupling like in western zones. Temperatures falling back into the upper 20s to low 30s for pretty much the entire CWA (County Warning Area) with the exception of the immediate coastline and far eastern Washington County where mid 30s are expected. Tomorrow expecting patchy river valley fog to start and a frosty morning in many locations. Warm front will be lifting NE at the surface across southern New England. Moisture advecting in aloft as upper level winds turn due south as the 500mb trough deepens and tilts negatively over the Mid Atlantic states. Winds will turn easterly over Maine and increase 5-10mph. Skies will be mostly cloudy with low to mid level clouds thickening early in the morning and given the low sun angle and increasing moisture unlikely to mix out in most spots. Models remain solid on timing/position of increasing upper level divergence deepening a surface low over Pennsylvania tomorrow afternoon as the 500mb trough goes negative. Expecting much of the day to be dry but during the afternoon POPs will increase to slight chance and chance from SW to NE by sunset. Temperatures tomorrow afternoon top out around 50F north with low to mid 50s from Dover-Foxcroft to Danforth and points south to the coastline. Tomorrow night ECMWF, ECMWF-AIFS, GFS (Global Forecast System) and Canadian along with hi-res guidance in good agreement bringing north PWATs (Precipitable Waters) 200-300 percent of normal into Maine. PWATs (Precipitable Waters) in the 1-1.5 inch range will be rather efficient combined with increased dynamics to produce good beneficial rainfall across the area getting underway in the evening. 7-9PM start time in Bangor, 8-10PM start time in Millinocket, 9-10PM start time in Caribou. Rain will become moderate to heavy at times overnight as the low tracks NE into New Hampshire and near the Western Maine/Quebec border by daybreak. The 925mb LLJ will increase overnight but not expecting significant mixing due to inversion stability but expecting some gusty winds 20-30mph especially from the Longfellow Mtns south and east to the coastline with strongest winds at the shoreline. Although not strong enough to cause significant issues, cannot rule out some tree limb damage resulting in highly localized power outages. Otherwise expecting temperatures to fall back into the low to mid 40s for most with some upper 30s in the North s. Short Term - Friday Through Saturday Friday: The occlusion of the low pressure system should start to move through the region. Highest rainfall amounts for the day are expected in the morning mainly across the eastern border. This should bring rainfall amount totals into the 1.5-2 inch range. Some areas in the south could see the higher end due to terrain. Rainfall could cause some urban flooding throughout the day. E winds are expected to become breezy in the morning, then decrease slightly in the early afternoon, then increase again as WNW winds in the evening as the center of the low exits. Temps should be in the 50s. Friday night: As the system exits to the NE, moisture will wrap around the center, keeping rain in the region for the night, especially across the north. WNW winds should become gusty again throughout the night. Rain should be fairly light. Temps should be in the 40s. Saturday: The exiting low and the approaching high pressure is expected to tighten pressure gradients, causing WNW winds to become gusty again with up to 35 mph winds. The main concern will be the saturated soil and gusty winds causing trees to fall. Temps should be in the upper 40s across the area. Long Term - Saturday Night Through Wednesday High pressure moves into the region Saturday night and remains until Monday. By Monday afternoon, a surface trough should bring the next round of rain to the area, though models disagree on the timing and amount of rain with the trough. By Tuesday night, the models become inconsistent with the exiting trough and approaching ridge. As of this update, the models are picking up on the next system toward the end of the week. Temps should be near normal. Marine Near Term: Small Craft Advisory has been extended for the Coastal Waters through 6PM Friday. NE winds this evening will subside below SCA (Small Craft Advisory) criteria and seas subside between 2-4ft this evening. Tomorrow morning seas will build 4-5ft and last throughout the day. Winds will shift E and begin increasing late afternoon. We want to avoid mix messaging and confusion of dropping an SCA (Small Craft Advisory) and quickly hoisting another one tonight for tomorrow. Therefore, have extended the ongoing one to cover the return to SCA (Small Craft Advisory) conditions tomorrow. Tomorrow night the E winds ramp up and gusting to 30kt as seas build to 4-7ft. SCA (Small Craft Advisory) for the Intra-Coastal Waters begins at 8PM EDT for winds and seas. Rain will develop tomorrow afternoon and continue overnight reducing vsby at times. Short Term: Winds are expected to increase to gale force by Friday afternoon and remain through Saturday. Seas increasing to 10-15 ft during this period. Winds and seas decrease to SCA levels by Saturday night and below SCA (Small Craft Advisory) level by Sunday morning. Then remain below SCA (Small Craft Advisory) through the rest of the period. NOAA Caribou ME Office - Watches - Warnings - Advisories ME...None. Marine Small Craft Advisory until 6pm EDT Friday for ANZ050-051. Gale Watch from Friday evening through Saturday evening for ANZ050>052. Small Craft Advisory from 8pm Thursday to 6pm EDT Friday for ANZ052. |
