7-Day Outlook: Sun. May 31 – Sat. Jun. 6
Low pressure over Québec will slide into western-southwestern Maine
today and off Cape Cod by Monday morning. This system is weaker than
the one which affected western Maine, Vermont, and New Hampshire
Friday night into Saturday morning. Currently, some shower activity
and a few thunderstorms are possible in western/southwestern Maine
today (Allagash, North Woods, and western mountains) and tonight with
some locally heavy downpours possible. Most areas east of Maine
Highway 11 seeing little in the way from this system beyond some
increased cloudiness at times. Mostly-to-partly sunny skies are
expected across the Valley today with only a 10% chance of showers in
Fort Kent and vicinity. High in the low 60s with east wind 0-5 mph.
Updated
May 31 at 9:50 AM EDT
Short-Term Forecast: Today – Tuesday
Tonight, mostly cloudy skies in the evening give way to partly cloudy conditions overnight with lows falling into the mid- to upper 30s with some patchy frost possible overnight; however, frost is not expected to be as widespread as Saturday night. Calm wind is expected overnight for most locations.
Monday night, partly cloudy skies with a slight (10%) chance of isolated showers and temperatures in the lower 40s. West winds near calm expected.
Tuesday, the final round of the current upper-level troughing regime is expected as the persistent upper air omega block over North America breaks down with improving conditions for the Saint John Valley by midweek. Mostly sunny skies are expected across the Valley with highs reaching the middle 60s and only a 10% chance of precipitation in Fort Kent and vicinity. Northwest wind 6-8 mph are expected. For Tuesday night, partly cloudy skies with temperatures falling into the lower 40s and light west winds are expected.
Medium-Range Forecast: Wednesday – Saturday
Wednesday, a large ridge of high pressure centered over the Great Lakes will build into the Saint John Valley bringing drier and warmer conditions as a more zonal west to east flow sets up aloft. Mostly sunny skies with a high in the middle 70s and west wind 0-7 mph expected. Wednesday night, mostly clear with a low in the upper 40s and west wind 0-7 mph.
Thursday, high pressure centered over the Ohio Valley spreads over
Northeast with temperatures rising into the lower 80s for most Valley
communities with west winds 0-7 mph. Thursday night, mostly clear
skies with temperatures in the low 50s and light west winds across the
SJV.
Friday, low pressure in Québec and associated cold front approach from the west with mostly sunny to partly cloudy skies and a chance of scattered afternoon showers in Fort Kent and vicinity. High in the mid-70s with west wind 0-7 mph. Friday night, expect partly-to-mostly cloudy skies with temperatures in the lower 50s and a 30% chance of scattered showers with very light rainfall totals expected. Northwest wind 0-7 mph expected.
As low pressure and associated fronts move across the region Saturday, partly sunny skies and slightly cooler temperatures are expected thanks to the increased cloud cover. Fort Kent reaches a high in the low to mid-70s with northwest wind 0-7 mph. Precipitation totals based on longer-range models look to be in the 0.01 to 0.09-inch range based on current data.
For Saturday night, some scattered showers in the evening give way to isolated shower activity overnight. Lows in the lower 50s with northwest wind around 0-7 mph.
Extended Forecast
Further ahead, partly cloudy skies look on tap Sun. June 7 with a
slight chance of showers and highs in the low 70s and overnight lows
in the low 50s. Based on current data, this pattern looks to continue
through about Tue. June 9 with highs in the 70s and lows in the 50s
under partly cloudy/mostly clear skies with only slight chances of
precipitation through Wed. June 10. 8-14 day climate trends currently
suggest above normal temperatures and near normal precipitation
amounts for northern Maine.

US National Weather Outlook
🇺🇸
A slow-moving weather system will bring periods of showers and thunderstorms from the Northern Rockies through the Plains and into the Southeast through Monday. The greatest concern is across parts of the Southeast, where heavy rainfall may lead to localized flooding, especially in areas that have already received significant rain. Strong thunderstorms are also possible from the Dakotas into the Ozarks and portions of western Texas. By Monday, the storm system will shift slightly northeast, continuing to produce thunderstorms across parts of the eastern and central United States. Some storms may become severe, with damaging wind gusts and large hail as the primary threats. Meanwhile, temperatures across much of the country will remain near to above seasonal averages. The southern Plains will experience the hottest conditions, with widespread temperatures in the 90s creating elevated heat-related concerns.
Severe
Thunderstorm Threat Develops Across
Eastern Kansas and Western Missouri This
Evening
Warm, humid air and a slow-moving weather boundary will create favorable conditions for strong thunderstorms across eastern Kansas and western Missouri this evening. A few storms may become severe, bringing the potential for large hail, damaging wind gusts, and an isolated tornado. Thunderstorms already present during the morning may help set the stage for additional development later in the day as the boundary shifts northward. The strongest storms are expected to organize during the early evening and move from eastern Kansas into Missouri. Residents should remain alert for rapidly changing weather conditions and possible severe weather warnings. Elsewhere, scattered strong thunderstorms may develop across parts of Arkansas and southwest Texas, while isolated storms capable of producing large hail are possible from portions of the Dakotas into Nebraska and Iowa.

Flooding
Concerns Grow Across the Northern
Rockies and Southeast as Heavy Rain
Persists
Periods of rain and thunderstorms will continue today across parts of the Northern Rockies and the Southeast, increasing the risk of localized flooding. In Montana, northern Wyoming, and nearby portions of the western Dakotas, additional rainfall on already saturated ground may lead to rising water levels and flooding issues, even where rain is not especially intense. Across the Southeast, warm and humid conditions will support scattered thunderstorms capable of producing heavy downpours. Some locations could receive several inches of rain in a short period of time, leading to flooding in low-lying and poor-drainage areas. Between these regions, scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected along a nearly stationary weather boundary, with isolated heavy rainfall possible where storms repeatedly move over the same locations.

🔥Fire Weather Outlook🔥

Dry
Conditions Persist Across the Southwest,
but Limited Fire Weather Threat Expected
Fire weather concerns are expected to remain relatively low across most of the country today. The driest conditions will be found across eastern Arizona and central New Mexico, where very low humidity and dry vegetation could support the spread of any new fires. However, light winds are expected to limit the overall fire danger and reduce the potential for rapid fire growth. Areas of central New Mexico with higher terrain may see slightly greater concerns due to local wind effects. Dry weather will also continue across parts of the Great Lakes and Upper Mississippi Valley, but weak winds should help keep fire risks in check. In southeast Wyoming, locally elevated fire weather conditions are possible, although recent rainfall has likely reduced the threat by improving moisture levels in vegetation.

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.
