The
Week Ahead for Fort Kent & the Saint John Valley of
Maine
7-Day
Outlook for Wednesday, June 24 — Tuesday, June 30
Updated
June 24 at 8:30 AM EDT
Wed. June 24 – Fri. June 26
Low pressure over the Maritimes has a trough axis extending back
west over the Saint John Valley along with an approaching
upper-level low from the west. These features will combine to keep
mostly cloudy skies and the likelihood of afternoon showers and
thunderstorms over the region thanks to the instability aloft
coupled with daytime heating. Tonight, partly cloudy skies with a
chance of showers in the evening and some patchy fog are expected
overnight. Another low pressure approaches from the Great Lakes
Thursday into Friday and crosses the SJV Friday into Friday night
bringing widespread showers along with scattered thunderstorms
Friday afternoon. Some strong storms are possible; however,
widespread severe weather is not anticipated.
Today, some areas of fog this morning with a 90% chance of
showers and a chance of thunderstorms this afternoon. Rainfall
accumulation less than 1/10-inch, though higher totals may occur in
storms. High topping out in the
low 70s with northwest wind 0-5 mph in the morning increasing to
5-10 mph in the afternoon.
Mostly cloudy skies Thursday with a 40% chance of mainly
afternoon showers and isolated thunderstorms. Rainfall amounts less
than 1/10-inch, except in more possible in storms. High in the
low-to-mid-70s. North wind early becoming southeast in the afternoon
near calm. Thursday night, mostly cloudy with near calm southeast
wind. Low in the lower 50s with an 80% chance of showers, especially
after midnight. Areas of fog possible overnight.
Friday, cloudy with a near 100% chance of showers and a chance of afternoon thunderstorms. Rainfall totals in the 1/4to 1/2-inch range possible, with higher amounts possible in thunderstorms. High in the mid-to-upper 60s. East-southeast wind 0-5 mph.
Friday night, a chance of showers and isolated thunderstorms with mostly cloudy skies across the region. Temperatures in the low 50s with northeast wind 0-7 mph.
Sat. June 27 – Tue. June 30
Unsettled weather is expected through the weekend, with chances
for showers and thunderstorms each day, especially during the
afternoon and evening hours. While upper-level ridging aloft and at
the surface builds over the Midwest, the Northeast will continue to
have weak disturbances moving across the region through Sunday.
Drier conditions are expected Monday and Tuesday; however, a chance
of afternoon showers and thunderstorms will persist.
Saturday, mostly cloudy skies in the morning become partly sunny
as the day progresses with a 40% chance of showers and afternoon
thunderstorms. High in the low 70s with light north wind. Saturday
night, a 30% chance of showers with partly cloudy skies and a low in
the lower 50s. Northwest wind 0-7 mph.
Sunday, partly sunny skies with a 30% chance of showers. High in the mid-to-upper 70s with north wind 0-7 mph. Sunday night, partly cloudy with a 20% chance of showers. Temperatures in the low-to-mid-50s. Northwest wind 0-7 mph.
Monday features partly cloudy to mostly sunny skies with a 20%
chance of afternoon showers and thunderstorms.Temperatures reach the
upper 70s to near 80°F with northwest wind 0-7 mph. For Monday
night, partly cloudy with a 20% chance of showers. Low in the middle
50s. North wind 0-7 mph.
Tuesday, partly cloudy to mostly sunny with a 30% chance of mainly afternoon showers and isolated thunderstorms. High in the upper 70s with southwest wind 0-7 mph. Tuesday night, a chance of showers and thunderstorms in the evening, then a slight chance of precipitation overnight. Low in the mid-50s with west-southwest wind 0-7 mph.
Extended Outlook
A warmer and possibly a bit more humid weather pattern is expected to develop across northern Maine beginning around June 30 as upper-level ridging strengthens over the eastern United States. However, enough moisture may persist aloft to produce periods of sunshine mixed with clouds and a recurring chance for afternoon and evening showers or thunderstorms. Highs in the mid-to-upper 70s with lows in the lower 60s are possible, based on current data. Climate Predication Center trends for July 1–July 7 indicate above normal temperatures and slightly above normal precipitation for Fort Kent and the Saint John Valley of Maine.

Severe
Thunderstorms and Flash Flooding Threaten
Central U.S. While Dangerous Heat and Fire
Weather Continue Across the West and South
An active summer weather pattern will continue to bring threats of severe thunderstorms and flash flooding across parts of the Central and South-Central United States through the next several days. Storms may produce damaging winds, large hail, isolated tornadoes, and heavy rainfall capable of causing localized flooding. Thunderstorms are also expected across portions of the Great Basin, where some storms could bring strong wind gusts and pockets of heavy rain. Meanwhile, intense heat will persist across parts of the West, Southern Plains, and Florida through Friday, with temperatures ranging from the 90s to well above 100 degrees in some locations. In contrast, cooler-than-normal air will spread across the Northern Plains and Great Lakes. Elevated fire weather conditions will continue across parts of the Great Basin and Four Corners through Thursday due to hot, dry, and windy conditions.

Eastern
Colorado Faces Greatest Risk for
Giant Hail, Damaging Winds, and
Isolated Tornadoes Tonight
Severe thunderstorms are expected to continue tonight from eastern Colorado and southeastern Wyoming into parts of Texas and the southern Plains, with the greatest threat centered across eastern Colorado. Some storms may produce very large hail measuring 2 to 3.5 inches in diameter, wind gusts exceeding 75 mph, and isolated tornadoes. Additional thunderstorms are likely to develop through the evening as warm, moist air continues to flow into the region, helping storms strengthen and persist. Large hail is expected to be the primary hazard, although damaging winds may become more widespread if storms organize into larger clusters. Farther south across the Texas South Plains, severe thunderstorms will also be capable of producing very large hail and strong winds. Across the Arklatex region, scattered storms may bring isolated damaging wind gusts and some hail overnight.

Heavy
Rain and Flash Flooding
Threaten Colorado, Kansas,
Nebraska, Arkansas, Louisiana,
and Mississippi
A heightened risk of
heavy rainfall and flash
flooding is expected from the
central High Plains to parts of
the Lower Mississippi Valley
through tonight and early
Thursday. The greatest concern
extends from northeastern
Colorado into southwestern
Nebraska and northwestern
Kansas, where repeated
thunderstorms may bring several
inches of rain in areas that
have already received recent
rainfall. Farther south, storms
from Arkansas and Louisiana into
Mississippi could produce
torrential downpours with
rainfall rates of 2 to 3 inches
per hour, increasing the risk of
flash flooding, especially in
low-lying and poor-drainage
areas. Additional localized
flooding is possible in parts of
the Southwest, including
southern California, Arizona,
Nevada, and Utah, where isolated
thunderstorms may develop.

Dry
Thunderstorms and Strong Winds
Raise Wildfire Risk Across Utah
and the Interior West
Critical fire weather conditions are expected across much of Utah and parts of the Interior West as scattered dry thunderstorms develop today. Lightning from these storms may ignite new wildfires, especially where vegetation remains extremely dry and little rainfall reaches the ground. Strong and erratic wind gusts produced by thunderstorms could rapidly spread existing fires and create dangerous firefighting conditions. While some storms may eventually produce pockets of beneficial rainfall, many areas will experience a mix of lightning and gusty winds with limited precipitation. Elevated fire weather conditions will also affect portions of Nevada, Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho, and Montana. Looking ahead, concerns may increase later this week as a strong weather system brings widespread gusty winds, creating conditions that could support rapid wildfire growth across parts of the region.

Radar apps visualize precipitation intensity using color-coded echoes. However, updates are not instant, and even the most advanced composite radar mosaics can be delayed by 5 to 20 minutes by the time they reach your app.That delay means the weather you are viewing might already be miles away — or more intense than the image suggests.
