7-Day Outlook: Tue. Jun. 2 –
Mon. Jun. 9
Updated June 2 at 11:35 AM EDT
Short-Term Forecast: Today – Thursday
Weak surface low pressure over the Maritimes and an associated
upper level trough sliding towards the coast this morning will keep
mostly cloudy skies over Fort Kent and vicinity this morning into the
afternoon. Clouds begin to thin later today as high pressure sets up
over the Great Lakes and builds in with warmer, drier air for the
Valley. Highs expected in the middle 60s with only a 5% chance of
precipitation.
Northwest wind 5-8 mph this morning become north in the afternoon
increasing to 5-10 mph. Tonight, partly cloudy skies with temperatures
falling into the lower to mid-40s and calm winds are expected. Only a
very slight 5% chance of precipitation overnight.
Wednesday, the 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 upper 70s to near 80
and west winds 0-5 mph falling to near calm late in the day. Wednesday
night, mostly clear skies with temperatures in the lower 50s and near
calm west-southwest wind.
Thursday, mostly sunny skies are expected early with high pressure
moving to the US Southeast. Temperatures climb into the low to middle
80s with west wind 8-10 mph expected. Thursday night, mild conditions
with partly cloudy skies and lows in the mid-50s with west wind 0-7
mph.
Medium-Range Forecast: Friday – Monday
Friday, a cold front sags across the Crown of Maine while low pressure in Québec and a triple point approaches from the west with partly sunny skies and scattered afternoon showers in Fort Kent and vicinity with up to 0.25-inch possible in some locations. High in the mid-70s with a 40% chance of rain. Friday night, partly-to-mostly cloudy skies with temperatures in the lower 50s and a 40% chance of scattered showers along with some isolated thunderstorms possible.
Low pressure and associated fronts slide across the region Saturday with partly sunny skies and slightly cooler temperatures in the lower 70s. A 40% chance of scattered showers expected. Saturday night, some scattered showers in the evening then isolated showers overnight with lows in the middle 40s. Chance of precipitation is 20%.
High pressure builds in from Québec Sunday into Monday with
diminishing chances of rain and sunny skies returning to the County

Extended Forecast
High pressure brings partly cloudy to mostly sunny and dry
conditions Tuesday and Wednesday June 9-10 mph with highs generally in
the 70s and lows in the 50s. Thursday through Saturday June 11-13, low
pressure and a front may affect the area with increased cloudiness and
chances of showers. Highs look to be in the mid-70s with lows in the
low 50s.
NOAA Climate Predication Center 8-14 day climate trends for June
9-15 indicates above normal temperatures and near normal precipitation
amounts for the region.

Active
Pattern Brings Thunderstorms, Heavy Rain,
and Local Flooding Concerns
An unsettled weather pattern will continue through midweek across parts of the Rockies, Plains, and Southwest. Several rounds of showers and thunderstorms are expected as weather systems move eastward and interact with warm, humid air. The greatest concerns will be across the Northern Plains, where some storms may become severe with damaging winds, large hail, and an isolated tornado. Heavy rainfall may also lead to localized flash flooding, especially in North Dakota, west Texas, and New Mexico. Additional showers and thunderstorms are likely to develop across the Northern Rockies and Intermountain West on Wednesday. Temperatures will generally remain near seasonal levels, although cooler conditions are expected to spread across portions of the Southern Plains and Southeast as a cold front moves southward.

Severe
Storm Threat Develops Across the
Northern Plains and Other Regions
Thunderstorms are expected to increase this afternoon and evening across portions of the Northern Plains, where the strongest storms may produce large hail, damaging wind gusts, and a few tornadoes. The highest threat will be near a cold front stretching across parts of Wyoming and North Dakota. Elsewhere, scattered thunderstorms may develop across southeast Texas, southwest Texas, and southeast New Mexico, with some storms capable of producing strong, locally damaging winds. Across southern Georgia and much of Florida, warm and humid conditions will support afternoon thunderstorm development, and a few stronger storms may bring gusty winds. While many locations will experience typical summertime thunderstorms, residents in areas at risk for severe weather should remain alert for rapidly changing conditions and possible warnings.

Heavy
Rain and Localized Flooding Threat
Across the Plains and Southwest
Periods of heavy rain and thunderstorms are expected today across parts of North Dakota, eastern New Mexico, and west Texas. In North Dakota, warm and humid air will fuel developing thunderstorms that may become more widespread during the evening. Some areas could receive several inches of rain in a short period of time, increasing the risk of flash flooding. Across eastern New Mexico and west Texas, scattered thunderstorms will develop near higher terrain before moving eastward. Heavy downpours may lead to localized flooding, especially near burn scars and in hilly areas. Along the Gulf Coast and across Florida, numerous showers and thunderstorms will also produce heavy rainfall. Urban and low-lying locations may experience flooding where storms repeatedly track over the same areas.

Isolated
Thunderstorms Bring Lightning
Concerns to the Southwest
A few thunderstorms are expected to develop across western and central New Mexico, with some activity extending into nearby portions of eastern Arizona and southern Colorado. Moisture levels will gradually increase, allowing storms to form during the afternoon and evening hours. However, much of the lower atmosphere will remain very dry, which means many storms may produce little rainfall despite frequent lightning. Some locations could experience brief downpours, but others may see gusty winds and lightning with little or no measurable rain. Storm movement will be relatively slow, and coverage is expected to remain isolated. Dry vegetation across the region may be vulnerable to lightning-caused fire starts where rainfall is limited.

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.
