| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Caribou ME 540am EDT Sunday Oct 4 2026 .WHAT HAS CHANGED... - Issued SCA (Small Craft Advisory) for coastal and intracoastals and Gale Watch on outer waters for Monday night into Tuesday afternoon. .KEY MESSAGES... 1) Strong westerly winds on Tuesday could lead to some isolated power outages. 2) Another round of rain showers throughout the forecast area on Monday, with light rainfall totals and little improvement to ongoing drought conditions. KEY MESSAGE 1...Strong westerly winds on Tuesday could lead to some isolated power outages. KEY MESSAGE 1 DESCRIPTION... Increasing confidence on Tuesday that, as the low pressure system deepens in the Northern Maritimes, we can expect strong surface high pressure to dive over the eastern Great Lakes. This will lead to a strong pressure gradient between the low and high, resulting in gusty west winds developing during the afternoon and evening hours on Monday. Tuesday probabilities for 35+ mph wind gusts have stayed consistent to 70-90%, with 40+ mph probabilities still 40-70% for Millinocket and areas north. For the Bangor region and interior Downeast, 35+ mph wind gusts probabilities are 20-40%. 40+ mph probabilities have decreased to less than 10%. There is ensemble guidance suggesting a potential of wind advisory headlines (31-39 mph sustained or gusts 45+ mph) for northern Aroostook. Uncertainty remains in wind speeds due to uncertainty with cloud cover throughout the day on Tuesday. However, it is likely that significant leaf loss may be possible in areas of Northern Maine where peak foliage has been reached. Additional leaf loss is possible in the Central Highlands to Downeast Maine where the foliage is moderate to high. Gusty winds could also lead to some isolated power outages. Continue to monitor the forecast for updates, as models get a better handle on the atmospheric set up. KEY MESSAGE 2...Another round of rain showers throughout the forecast area on Monday, with light rainfall totals and little improvement to ongoing drought conditions. KEY MESSAGE 2 DESCRIPTION... An occluding low pressure system will track across northern Quebec Monday through Tuesday. At the same time, a coastal low will track up the Atlantic coast before tracking up the eastern coast of Nova Scotia. There is increasing confidence that the timing between these two systems will align such that they interact with each other over our forecast area on Monday. The coastal low will be the system that provides the moisture for rainfall, with PWATs (Precipitable Waters) 1.0-1.2 inches. Meanwhile, the northern low will be comparatively dry with PWATs (Precipitable Waters) closer to 0.6-0.8 inches, yet the northern low will provide the most dynamic support. Overall, due to the lack of moisture support by the northern system, total rainfall amounts will be relatively light, with around a tenth to a quarter of an inch of total rainfall, and having little benefit to the ongoing drought in the area. Marine Winds light and variable and seas 2 to 3 ft today. Seas increasing to 3 to 5 ft overnight tonight into Monday on the coastal and outer waters with a SE swell. Wind gusts increase above 25kts over the outer waters Monday afternoon and reach gale force in the evening remaining around these levels through Tuesday, with a Gale Watch in effect Monday night into Tuesday afternoon. Waves build to 5-8ft Monday evening on outer waters. Waves 3 to 6 feet over remaining waters through Tuesday with W winds 15-25 knots for coastal and intracoastal waters with gusts 25-30 knots. A Small Craft Advisory is in effect for coastal and intracoastal waters Monday afternoon through Tuesday afternoon. Wednesday W-SW winds 5-15 knots, gusts 15-20 knots on coastal waters, outer waters winds at 10-15 knots, gusts 20-25 knots. Wave heigheights Wednesday 2-4 coastal, outer-waters 3-5 ft then going to 1-3 ft during the evening both waters. Winds and waves remain below SCA (Small Craft Advisory) criteria through the rest of the week. NOAA Caribou ME Office - Watches - Warnings - Advisories ME...Frost Advisory until 8am EDT this morning for MEZ016-017-030.
