The
Week Ahead for Fort Kent & the Saint John Valley of
Maine
7-Day
Outlook for Thursday, June 25 — Wednesday, July 1
Updated
June 25 at 8:15 AM EDT
Thu. June 25 – Sat. June 27
An upper trough ahead of a surface and upper-level low over the
Great Lakes region will move across the region today while the
surface low advances east tonight and Friday. Daytime heating
coupled with instability aloft will produce mostly cloudy skies over
Fort Kent today with a 30% chance of isolated to scattered afternoon
and evening showers and thunderstorms. Rainfall amounts less than
1/10-inch are expected for most Valley locations, though downpours
in thunderstorms may produce higher totals. In Fort Kent, the high
tops out near 73°F with north wind near calm.
Tonight, isolated showers and thunderstorms are possible in the
evening with isolated showers overnight with the loss of daytime
heating. Cloudy skies with a low around 53°F and calm winds are
expected. Rainfall totals overnight will be less than 1/10-inch for
Fort Kent and vicinity. Patchy for is possible overnight.
Friday night, low pressure and associated fronts move into the Maritimes with steadier rainfall tapering to showers overnight with a 60% chance of precipitation and less than 1/10-inch accumulation for most locations. Low around 53°F with near calm winds overnight.
Showery conditions persist over Fort Kent and the SJV Saturday
with partly sunny skies and a 40% chance of scattered showers along
with isolated afternoon thunderstorms. High around 70°F with light
north-northeast wind 0-5 mph. Saturday night, high pressure beings
to build in from the west with partly cloudy skies over the SJV.
Isolated showers remain possible with a 20% chance of precipitation.
Low around 53°F. Northwest wind in the 0-7 mph range.
Sun. June 28 – Wed. July 1
A large ridge of high pressure begins building and will dominate
the central/eastern US by midweek as another omega block may set up.
High pressure over the eastern Great Lakes region will bring mostly
sunny skies Sunday with a high in Fort Kent near 76°F. Some
isolated/scattered afternoon showers/thunderstorms remain possible
with a 30% chance of precipitation. Sunday night, high pressure
brings mostly clear skies and dry conditions with a low around 53°F
and light northwest winds.
Monday features mostly sunny skies with a high near 83°F and
light northwest winds. Monday night, partly cloudy skies with a 20%
chance of showers after midnight as a frontal system slowly
approaches from the west. Warmer, with a low around 57°F in Fort
Kent.
Tuesday, partly cloudy to mostly sunny with a 20% chance of isolated afternoon showers and thunderstorms. High near 82°F. Tuesday night, a 20% chance of isolated showers continues overnight with a low around 58°F.
Wednesday, occluding low pressure in Canada pulls an occluded
front towards the region while high pressure ridging sets up over
the Midwest into the eastern US. Mostly sunny skies with a high
topping out near 83° with more humidity evident as dew
points rise into the low 60s.
Partly cloudy skies are expected Thursday night with a 50% chance
of showers and isolated thunderstorms as the front moves closer. Low
around 60°F with light southwest winds.
Extended Outlook
Based on NOAA/NWS guidance, the weather in the Valley from July 2 through July 5 is expected to be warmer than average, with afternoon temperatures generally reaching the upper 70s to lower 80s. A broad area of high pressure over the eastern United States should support periods of sunshine, though scattered afternoon and evening showers or thunderstorms may occur with the probability of precipitation ranging from 30% to 50%. The Climate Predication Center trends indicate above normal temperatures and precipitation for Fort Kent and the Saint John Valley July 2–8.

Severe
Storms, Flooding, Heat, and Wildfire
Threats Continue Across the United States
A busy weather pattern will continue across much of the United States through the weekend. Repeated rounds of thunderstorms are expected from the Central and Southern Plains into parts of the Midwest and Ohio Valley, bringing the risk of damaging winds, large hail, isolated tornadoes, and areas of flash flooding. The greatest flooding concern will shift from Kansas and Missouri toward the Midwest by Friday and Saturday. While cooler-than-normal conditions persist across the northern Plains, Great Lakes, Northeast, and Mid-Atlantic, dangerous heat will expand across the South, with temperatures rising into the 90s and near 100 degrees. In the West, a cooling trend will gradually replace recent heat, but dry, windy conditions and nearby thunderstorms will create a heightened wildfire danger across parts of Utah, Arizona, and Nevada.

Severe
Thunderstorm Threat Develops
Across the Great Plains This
Afternoon and Tonight
Strong
to severe thunderstorms are
expected to develop across
portions of the Southern and
Central Great Plains this
afternoon and continue into
tonight. The greatest threat
extends from the Texas South
Plains into parts of Kansas, where
clusters of storms may organize
and produce damaging wind gusts
and large hail. A few storms
developing across northern
Oklahoma and southern Kansas could
also become capable of producing
isolated tornadoes during the
early evening hours. While the
exact evolution of the storms
remains somewhat uncertain,
forecasters expect increasing
heat, moisture, and atmospheric
instability to support
thunderstorm development through
the evening and overnight period.
Additional isolated severe storms
are also possible near the Lower
Great Lakes and across parts of
Wyoming, where strong winds may be
the primary hazard.

Significant
Flash Flood Threat Expected
from Kansas to Missouri as
Repeated Thunderstorms Develop
A heightened risk of
flash flooding is expected
Thursday across southeastern
Kansas and southwestern
Missouri, where repeated rounds
of thunderstorms may produce
very heavy rainfall over the
same locations. Forecasters are
especially concerned about areas
near and south of Wichita and
along the U.S. 54 corridor,
where several inches of rain
could fall in a short period of
time. Some locations may receive
more than six inches of rain,
leading to dangerous flooding of
roads, low-lying areas, and
small streams. Additional heavy
rain and localized flooding are
possible farther east toward the
St. Louis area, as well as parts
of the Southeast, Interior West,
and Northeast. Residents in
flood-prone areas should remain
alert for rapidly changing
conditions and possible flood
warnings.
🔥Fire Weather Outlook🔥
Learn more about Fire Weather Outlooks
Thunderstorms,
Gusty Winds, and Elevated
Wildfire Risk Continue Across
the Interior West
A broad plume of moisture moving across the Interior West will bring another day of scattered thunderstorms from Idaho and Utah into Colorado, New Mexico, and Arizona. While many storms will produce rainfall, some may generate little precipitation while creating frequent lightning and strong, gusty winds. These conditions could spark new wildfires, especially in areas where vegetation remains dry. Across parts of Nevada, Utah, eastern Washington, and Oregon, warm temperatures, low humidity, and persistent winds will increase wildfire concerns and could allow any existing fires to spread more rapidly. Thunderstorm winds may also create sudden changes in fire behavior. Meanwhile, a cold front approaching the Pacific Northwest will bring cooler temperatures and a chance for some rainfall later today and tonight.

The vast majority of weather apps are automated without human oversight and can miss critical, nuanced details during severe or changing weather. Do not rely on an app for the forecast. Instead, go to weather.gov for the forecast.
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.
