7-Day Outlook: Mon. Jun. 1 –
Sun. Jun. 8
Updated June 1 at 9:20 AM EDT
Short-Term Forecast: Today – Wednesday
An upper-level trough will slide across the Valley today through
Tuesday bringing enough instability for some scattered showers and
isolated afternoon thunder to the region. A passing shower or two is
possible this morning based on current radar imagery. Instability
aloft is weak, so nothing organized or severe is expected this
afternoon, though some heavy downpours may occur in heavier showers or
storms that develop. Shower/thunderstorm activity will die down in the
evening with the loss of daytime heating.
Today's highs reach the mid- to upper 60s for most Valley locations
today with winds becoming northwest 0-5 mph this afternoon. Any
precipitation is expected to be light, though locally higher amounts
may occur in any storms that develop. Tonight, partly cloudy skies
with a 10% chance of isolated showers and thunderstorms in the
evening. Lows fall into the lower to middle 40s in most locations, so
frost should not be an issue. West wind near calm becoming
north-northwest overnight 0-5 mph.
Tuesday, an upper trough moves across the region with partly sunny skies every becoming mostly sunny as the day progresses. Highs expected in the middle 60s with only a 5% chance of precipitation. North wind 5-10 mph over the course of the day. Tuesday night, partly cloudy skies with temperatures falling into the lower to mid-40s and calm winds are expected.
Wednesday, a large ridge high pressure centered over the Great
Lakes spreads over the eastern US and builds into the Saint John
Valley with drier and warmer conditions. Valley residents can
anticipate mostly sunny skies with a high in the middle to upper 70s
and west-northwest wind 0-5 mph becoming west-southwest near calm late
in the day. Wednesday night, mostly clear skies with a low in the
lower 50s and southwest wind 0-7 mph. A nice change after the extended
period of cool, wet weather we experienced in May.
Medium-Range Forecast: Thursday – Sunday
However, Thursday remains sunny and warm with high pressure spreading over the eastern US. Warm southwesterly flow will allow temperatures to rise into the lower to middle 80s for most of the Saint John Valley with west winds 0-7 mph. Thursday night, an approaching cold front in Québec brings partly cloudy skies with temperatures in the low to mid-50s and light west winds across the SJV.
Friday, low pressure in Québec and a triple point look to approach from the west with partly sunny skies and increasing chances of scattered afternoon showers in Fort Kent and vicinity with generally light rainfall amounts (less than 0.10-inch). High in the mid-70s with northwest wind 0-7 mph. Friday night, partly-to-mostly cloudy skies with temperatures in the lower 50s and a 30% chance of scattered showers with light rainfall amounts expected. West wind 0-7 mph expected.
Low pressure and associated fronts move across the region Saturday bringing partly sunny skies and slightly cooler temperatures in the lower 70s. A 40% chance of scattered showers and isolated afternoon/evening thunderstorms are possible. North winds 0-7 mph. For Saturday night, some scattered showers linger with lows in the upper 40s and north wind around 0-7 mph.
Sunday, mostly sunny skies are anticipated as drier air takes hold
once more; however, models indicate an upper-level trough affecting
the region, with a chance of scattered showers continuing for Fort
Kent and vicinity, mainly in the afternoon. Highs in the low 70s with
light northeast winds currently expected. Sunday night, partly cloudy
skies with isolated showers and temperatures in the upper 40s/near 50
expected. South winds 0-7 mph develop.
Extended Forecast
Partly cloudy to mostly clear skies are expected Monday through
Wednesday June 8-10 with highs in the mid- to upper 70s and lows in
the low to mid-50s. A slight chance of showers looks possible
Wednesday night into Thursday. NOAA Climate Predication Center 8-14
day climate trends for June 8-14 currently suggest a 50-60% chance of
above normal temperatures and near normal precipitation amounts for
the Saint John Valley.

Active
Storm Pattern Brings Heavy Rain and Warmth
Across Much of the Nation
An unsettled weather pattern will continue over the next several days, bringing showers and thunderstorms from the Northern Rockies into the Plains, Southwest, and parts of the Southeast. Some storms may become strong across portions of the Plains on Monday and Tuesday, producing damaging wind gusts and hail. Heavy rainfall is also possible, especially across eastern New Mexico and western Texas from Tuesday into Wednesday, where localized flooding could develop. Repeated rounds of thunderstorms may affect areas from Texas northward into the central Plains. Meanwhile, warmer weather will expand across much of the central and eastern United States, with afternoon temperatures reaching the 80s and lower 90s in some locations. Cooler conditions will persist across the Pacific Northwest and Northern Rockies.

Severe
Storms Threaten Plains, Ozarks,
and Southeast With Damaging Winds
and Hail
Strong to severe thunderstorms are expected to develop across parts of the central High Plains and the Lower Mississippi and Tennessee Valleys on Monday. The greatest threats will be damaging wind gusts and large hail. Storms already moving through portions of the Tennessee Valley may continue southeastward through the day, bringing periods of strong winds. During the afternoon and evening, additional thunderstorms are likely to form from Arkansas into Mississippi, Alabama, and Tennessee, where hot and humid conditions will help fuel intense storms. Some areas could experience numerous strong wind-producing thunderstorms. Farther west, storms developing in eastern Colorado may strengthen as they move into western Kansas, producing very large hail and damaging winds. Parts of Wyoming, Nebraska, and South Dakota may also see severe thunderstorms.

Scattered
Heavy Rain May Cause Localized
Flooding Across Several Regions
Periods of heavy rain are expected across parts of the Northern Rockies, Great Plains, Mid-South, and portions of New Mexico and West Texas today. In Montana, a slow-moving weather system will continue to produce steady rainfall, with some locations receiving one to two inches of rain. Across the Mid-South, thunderstorms moving east and southeast may bring brief periods of heavy downpours, especially where storms repeatedly track over the same areas. Additional storms may develop later in the day across Mississippi and Alabama. In the central Plains, scattered afternoon and evening thunderstorms are expected from Nebraska into Kansas. Farther southwest, isolated thunderstorms may develop over the mountains of New Mexico and West Texas, producing locally heavy rainfall and a limited flooding threat.

Limited
Fire Weather Concerns Across the
Nation Today
Fire weather concerns are expected to remain low across most of the country today. Dry air will continue across parts of eastern Arizona and central New Mexico, where vegetation has been gradually drying out. However, winds are expected to remain generally light, which should help limit the potential for rapid fire growth. A few locations in higher terrain, especially in northern New Mexico, may experience somewhat stronger breezes during the afternoon, but widespread dangerous fire weather conditions are not anticipated. Dry weather will also persist across portions of the Great Lakes region. Even so, increasing high pressure is expected to keep winds relatively light, reducing the overall fire threat. While localized fire concerns may develop, significant or widespread fire weather problems are not expected today.
