weekends & holidays
7-Day
Outlook: Tuesday, June 16 – Monday, June 22
Updated
June 16 at 8:30 AM EDT
Tue. June 16 – Thu. June 18
High pressure will build across the Valley today and tomorrow with
partly cloudy to mostly sunny skies and mostly dry conditions for Fort
Kent and neighboring communities. Some weak instability aloft, driven
by daytime heating, will produce some isolated to scattered afternoon
showers today with a 20% chance of precipitation. Rainfall amounts
less than 1/10-inch expected. Today's high reaches the low 70s with
northwest wind 5-10 mph. Tonight, mostly clear skies are expected with
lows in the upper 40s with southwest winds near calm.
Mostly sunny skies are expected Wednesday as high pressure
continues to build across the region. High temperatures in the upper
70s/low 80s Wednesday with southwest wind 0-5 mph. Partly cloudy skies
develop as strengthening low pressure crosses the Great Lakes into
Ontario/Québec Wednesday night. Overnight temperatures in the low 50s
and south winds near calm.
Strong low pressure approaches Thursday and crosses the region
Thursday night into Friday. Rain is expected to spread across the area
from west to east during the day and continue into the evening before
gradually ending overnight as drier air arrives.
The system is likely to bring a significant amount of moisture into the region, and some locations could receive up to 1-inch of rain or more. Because of the potential for heavy rainfall, localized flooding may occur, especially in areas that experience thunderstorms. Any thunderstorms that develop are expected to be relatively weak.

Because of the potential for heavy rainfall, localized flooding may occur, especially in areas that experience thunderstorms. Any thunderstorms that develop are expected to be relatively weak.
The Weather Predication Center has placed the Valley in a "marginal" risk area for excessive rainfall Thursday. There is still some uncertainty about exactly how much moisture will reach the area and how the storm system will move. If the rain bands slow down, some locations could receive heavier rainfall than currently forecast.
Currently, expect Thursday to feature increasing clouds with a 70% chance of showers by the afternoon with a slight chance of isolated thunderstorms. Rainfall totals by Thursday evening in the 1/4 to 1/2-inch range are possible. High in the upper 60s/near 70 with southeast wind 10-15 mph gusting 20-25 mph.
Thursday night, a near 100% chance of precipitation with showers and isolated thunderstorms in the evening and showers likely overnight. Rainfall amounts in the 1/2 to 3/4-inch range possible. Temperatures in the lower 50s with southeast wind 0-7 mph.
Fri. June 19 – Mon. June 22
Heading into the weekend, an upper-level low will meander over the
Valley and the Maritimes, which will keep a mix of sun and clouds along
with a chance of showers, and even some isolated thunderstorms, across
the Valley through the period. Temperatures will also be cooler than
usual—generally about 5 degrees below normal for this time of year.
Unsettled conditions look to continue into Monday-Tuesday.Friday, showers are likely along with some isolated afternoon
thunderstorms under mostly cloudy skies with an 80% chance of
precipitation. Highs in upper 60s/low 70s with south wind at 0-7 mph.
Friday night, overcast to mostly cloudy skies with a 70% chance of
showers. West wind 0-7 mph across the region.
Saturday, mostly cloudy to partly sunny skies expected with a 50%
chance of showers and isolated afternoon thunderstorms across the SJV.
High in the mid-60s with northwest wind 0-7 mph. Saturday night,
partly cloudy skies with a low in the upper 40s and a 40% chance of
scattered showers for Fort Kent and vicinity. Northwest wind 0-7 mph.
Sunday, mostly cloudy skies early then partly sunny skies in the
afternoon with a 40% chance of showers along with a chance of isolated
afternoon thunderstorms. High in the upper 60s with northwest wind 0-7
mph. Sunday night, partly cloudy skies with a 10% chance of showers
and a low in the upper 40s/near 50. Northwest wind 0-7 mph.
Monday looks partly sunny with a high in the low 70s. A 40% chance of scattered afternoon showers and isolated thunderstorms are possible. Northwest wind 0-7 mph. Monday night, a 30% chance of scattered showers and some thunderstorms continues with a low near 50. West-northwest wind 0-7 mph.
Extended Outlook for Tue. June 23 - Mon. June 29
For
guidance rather than precise predictions due to increasing
forecast uncertainty
Tuesday remains partly sunny with a 40% chance of scattered showers
with a high in the upper 60s/low 70s. Partly cloudy skies remain over
the region Tuesday night with a slight chance of showers and lows in
the lower 50s. Partly cloudy and mainly dry weather Wednesday and much
of Thursday, followed by increasing clouds Thursday night and a wetter
pattern on Friday into Saturday morning. High temperatures will
generally in the mid-70s, while nighttime lows will remain in the
mid-50s. NOAA's Climate Prediction Center outlook for June 23- 29
indicates near normal temperatures and slightly above normal
precipitation for the Saint John Valley.

Severe
Storms in the Midwest and Flooding Rains
Along the Gulf Coast
A cooler and drier air mass from Canada is spreading across much of the eastern United States, bringing below-normal temperatures to many areas. At the same time, two fast-moving storm systems will track across the northern states. The stronger system is expected to trigger severe thunderstorms across parts of the Midwest, Great Lakes, and Ohio Valley on Wednesday. Some storms may produce damaging winds, large hail, tornadoes, and localized flash flooding. Farther south, a prolonged period of heavy rain is expected from South Texas into Louisiana. Several inches of rain could fall through Thursday, increasing the risk of flash flooding and significant water-related impacts. Forecasters are also monitoring the potential for tropical development near the Texas Gulf Coast. Meanwhile, temperatures along the West Coast will gradually cool, although desert areas will remain extremely hot.

Scattered
Severe Storms Possible Across the
Plains, Midwest, and Gulf Coast
Strong to severe thunderstorms are possible today and tonight across parts of the northern Great Plains, Midwest, Great Lakes, and portions of the Gulf Coast. While storms are expected to be scattered rather than widespread, some could become intense enough to produce damaging wind gusts, large hail, and a few tornadoes. The greatest concerns include areas near southern Lake Michigan, parts of Kansas and Missouri, and locations along the northern Gulf Coast. Additional thunderstorms may develop later today across the Dakotas and surrounding areas, with some capable of producing strong winds and hail. Weather conditions vary considerably from region to region, making it difficult to pinpoint exactly where the strongest storms will occur. Residents in affected areas should remain alert for rapidly changing weather conditions through tonight.

Significant
Flash Flood Risk Across the
Texas and Louisiana Gulf Coast
A significant heavy rain
and flash flood threat is expected
today across parts of the Texas
Gulf Coast, Louisiana, and western
Mississippi. Deep tropical
moisture moving north from the
Gulf of Mexico will interact with
a front moving southward, creating
favorable conditions for repeated
rounds of thunderstorms. The
heaviest rainfall is expected
during the morning and early
afternoon, with some areas
potentially receiving very high
rainfall totals in a short period
of time. Locations from coastal
Texas through Louisiana and into
western Mississippi face the
greatest risk of flooding,
especially where storms repeatedly
move over the same areas. Flash
flooding could develop quickly in
vulnerable locations, including
low-lying and urban areas.
Conditions are expected to
gradually improve by this evening
as the heaviest rain shifts away
and storm activity weakens.

Dangerous
Fire Weather Conditions Expected
Across Parts of the Pacific
Northwest and Interior West
Critical fire weather conditions are expected today across portions of eastern Washington and north-central Oregon, with elevated wildfire danger extending into parts of Idaho, Nevada, Utah, and the Rockies. Strong west to northwest winds combined with very dry air and warm temperatures will create favorable conditions for rapid fire growth. In the Columbia Basin, sustained winds of 20 to 25 mph with stronger gusts will occur alongside low humidity levels, increasing the risk that any new or existing fires could spread quickly. Similar conditions are expected across the northern Great Basin and portions of the Rockies, where hot temperatures, dry vegetation, and gusty winds will further heighten wildfire concerns. Residents should exercise extreme caution with any activity that could spark a fire today.
