7-Day
Outlook: Tue. June 9 – Mon. June 15
Updated
June 9 at 8:25 AM EDT
Tue. June 9 – Thu. June 11
An upper-level ridge of high pressure will build into the eastern
US as the week progresses bringing mostly sunny skies today with
partly cloudy skies across the Valley tonight with no precipitation
expected. Thanks to a weak upper-level trough, some cloudiness has
developed aloft, mainly over eastern portions of the County into New
Brunswick this morning.
In Fort Kent and vicinity, today will be mostly sunny with a high
in the mid- to upper 80s with west winds in the morning 3-4 mph
becoming northwest this afternoon 5-10 mph. Tonight, partly cloudy
skies with a low in the mid-50s and near calm winds.
Wednesday, weak disturbances moving over the top of the high
pressure ridge will bring increased cloudiness with partly sunny skies
over Fort Kent and other Valley locations. High in the mid-80s with
southerly winds 0-5 mph. For Wednesday night, partly cloudy skies
remain overhead with a low in the upper 50s. An approaching warm front
brings a 10% chance of an isolated shower overnight with near calm
winds across the SJV.
Thursday, southerly flow around the backside of a Bermuda high off the eastern US will continue to bring more humid air into the region with dew points reaching the low 60s and creating a more muggy feel. Some isolated shower activity is possible with partly cloudy to mostly sunny skies across the area.
Any rainfall is expected to remain light—below 1/10-inch for most
northern Maine locations. Daytime highs Thursday top out in the
mid-80s with southeast winds 0-5 mph. For Thursday night, partly
cloudy skies with a 20% chance of showers and a low in the mid- to
upper 50s. Southeast winds 0-7 mph expected.
Fri. June 12 – Mon. June 15
A strong area of high pressure will remain over the region through
Saturday. A cold front is expected to move through New England
sometime this weekend, with current forecasts increasingly favoring
Saturday for its passage, although some uncertainty remains. Once the
front moves through, humidity levels are expected to drop noticeably
as cooler, drier air from Canada arrives on west-northwesterly winds.
There is also a possibility that a weaker secondary front could pass
through on Sunday.
Warm and somewhat humid conditions will continue into Friday as
high pressure gradually gives way to an approaching cold front from
the west. Sunshine will dominate for much of the day, helping
temperatures climb into the lower 80s. While most locations will
remain dry, a stray afternoon or evening shower or thunderstorm cannot
be ruled out. Friday night will become increasingly cloudy and
unsettled, with scattered showers developing and the potential for
thunderstorms increasing toward the overnight hours. Temperatures will
remain mild, falling only into the upper 50s.
The cold front is expected to move through the region on Saturday, bringing the greatest likelihood of showers and thunderstorms during the forecast period. Showers and thunderstorms will be most numerous during the morning and early afternoon, although additional scattered activity may persist later in the day. Despite the unsettled weather, temperatures will still reach the upper 70s. Showers and thunderstorms will gradually diminish Saturday evening, with only a slight chance of lingering precipitation overnight. Low temperatures will settle into the mid to upper 50s.

Showers and thunderstorms will gradually diminish Saturday evening, with only a slight chance of lingering precipitation overnight. Low temperatures will settle into the mid to upper 50s.
Conditions will remain somewhat unsettled on Sunday as a secondary
disturbance or weak front moves through the area. Intervals of
sunshine are expected, but scattered showers and thunderstorms may
redevelop during the day and continue into the evening hours.
Afternoon temperatures will reach the upper 70s, while overnight lows
fall into the lower 50s.
By Monday, somewhat cooler and less humid air will begin filtering
into the region behind the weekend frontal system. Sunshine should
become more prevalent, although a few isolated showers remain
possible. High temperatures will top out in the lower 70s. Monday
night will be mostly cloudy with a slight chance of lingering rain
showers, and temperatures will drop into the upper 40s to around 50
degrees.
Extended Outlook
For guidance only rather than precise
predictions
Current American and Canadian forecast models indicate a low
pressure system near the Great Lakes and associated fronts affecting
the Valley next week, with an upper-level trough approaching
mid-to-late week. This scenario brings partly-to-mostly cloudy skies
with a chance of scattered to widespread showers to the region. Highs
in the upper 60s/low 70s with overnight temperatures in the lower 50s
for Tuesday - Friday, June 16-19.
Based on current forecast model data, NOAA's Climate Prediction
Center 8-14 Day outlook for June 16-22 indicates near normal
temperatures and above normal precipitation for the Saint John Valley.

Active Weather
Pattern Brings Severe Storms, Heavy Rain,
and Flooding Concerns Across Multiple
Regions
A dynamic weather
pattern will bring several rounds of
thunderstorms and heavy rainfall to large
portions of the United States through
Thursday. The greatest threat for severe
weather will be across parts of the Northern
and Central Plains and the Southern High
Plains on Tuesday, shifting into the Upper and
Middle Mississippi Valley on Wednesday. Some
storms may produce damaging wind gusts, large
hail, frequent lightning, and isolated
tornadoes. Heavy rainfall will also accompany
these storms, increasing the risk of localized
flash flooding, especially in urban areas and
low-lying locations. Additional flooding
concerns extend across the Ohio and Tennessee
Valleys and parts of the Southeast. Farther
west, the Pacific Northwest and Northern
Rockies will experience periods of rain, with
snow confined to the highest mountain
elevations.
Major
Severe Weather Outbreak Expected
Across the Plains Today and
Tonight
A significant severe weather event is expected to unfold across portions of the Central and Northern Plains this afternoon and tonight. Numerous thunderstorms are forecast to develop and rapidly organize into large storm complexes capable of producing widespread damaging winds of 60 to 80 mph, with locally stronger gusts possible. Large hail, including hail larger than golf balls, and several tornadoes are also expected, with some tornadoes potentially becoming strong. The greatest tornado threat appears to be across parts of the Dakotas, eastern Nebraska, and southeastern South Dakota during the late afternoon and evening. Additional severe thunderstorms are expected across western Kansas and the Oklahoma and Texas Panhandles, where damaging winds and large hail are the primary concerns. Isolated severe storms are also possible farther east into the Upper Mississippi and Lower Ohio Valleys.

Heavy
Rain and Flash Flooding Threat
Expands Across Multiple Regions
Periods of heavy rain and thunderstorms are expected to bring an increased risk of flash flooding across parts of the Northern Plains, Ohio Valley, Tennessee Valley, and southern Appalachians through tonight. In the Northern Plains, a developing storm system will interact with warm, humid air to produce thunderstorms capable of extremely heavy rainfall, with localized flooding possible, especially in cities and other poor-drainage areas. The greatest concern extends across portions of North Dakota and northwestern Minnesota. Farther east, abundant moisture and repeated rounds of thunderstorms may lead to several inches of rain across parts of Kentucky, southern Indiana, Tennessee, and the southern Appalachians. Some locations could receive enough rainfall in a short period to trigger flash flooding, particularly in areas that have already experienced recent heavy rain.

Critical
Fire Weather Conditions Expected
Across the Southwest and Great
Basin
Dangerous fire weather conditions are expected across portions of the Southwest, Great Basin, and Central Rockies today as hot temperatures, very dry air, and gusty winds combine to increase wildfire danger. The most critical conditions are forecast across southern Utah, northern Arizona, and parts of western Colorado, where strong southwest winds and extremely low humidity will create an environment favorable for rapid fire growth and spread. Elevated fire concerns will also extend into parts of the Front Range and nearby areas. In addition to the fire threat, isolated thunderstorms may develop across western New Mexico and far southern Colorado. However, many of these storms are expected to produce little rainfall while generating lightning and gusty winds, increasing the risk of new wildfire starts in areas with dry vegetation.
