On Wednesday, a ridge is expected to return, bringing a calmer end to the forecast period.ĪVIATION /22Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/. Overall the pattern looks like it will remain unsettled through Wednesday morning. NBM guidance was used for this period to accommodate these differences. This has some reflection at the surface, with a potential developing surface low moving through the Gulf of Maine Tuesday night into Wednesday. Models are differing on the evolution of the upper level support with this system, with EC and GEM trending toward a more negatively tilted trough, while GFS shows a closed low over southern Canada. By Monday, the main low moves in from the west and the chance for precipitation spreads across the state. Radiational cooling Sunday night into early Monday morning will bring the return of potential frost for Northern Maine. The second effect of this front will be clearing skies and cooler upper level temperatures remaining across Northern Maine. This will focus most of the precipitation across central and southern Maine, two areas still recovering from drought. As the upper level support moves eastward across southern Canada, the front will become quasi- stationary across central Maine before drifting southward during the day. On Sunday night, precip from the approaching front will move into the state from the west. LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/. By Saturday afternoon, clouds will increase ahead of an approaching front, tempering daytime heating a bit. This will bring daytime highs into the mid-60s, a slight increase from Friday. Saturday, the ridge will start to move off to the east, allowing for some weak warm air advection. Fog is also a possibility in the river valleys with the cooling air. This will allow the atmosphere to decouple, and low-lying locations in the North Woods may see the first frost of the season. Winds will finally begin to decrease Friday evening as the main axis of the ridge moves overhead. SHORT TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/. The dry, cold air advection will maintain cool temps for Friday with upper 50s to low 60s across the FA. By the afternoon, the center of the high will push in, reducing winds and clearing out the skies. Vorticity models indicate a weak shortwave moving through the north, causing some cloudy skies in the morning. Upper air model soundings continue to show a deep mixed layer, thus the cold air advection behind the low will affect temps tonight ranging from the upper 30s in the North Woods to low to mid 40s elsewhere.īy Friday, the high pressure will settle in, though tight pressure gradients will remain, making for another breezy day.

The pressure gradients squeezed between these two systems will continue to produce very strong NW winds.

The vertically stacked low pressure system to the north will slowly continue towards the Maritimes tonight with the high pressure centered over southern New England. Otherwise, forecast remains on track this hour with no significant changes. Decreased cloud cover over far northeastern areas which have become mostly clear early this evening. Several disturbances ride the front into Tuesday over the area. A warm front will lift north Sunday and stall out over the area. High pressure will build across the region into Saturday.
