7-Day
Outlook: Mon. June 8 – Sun. June 14
Updated June 8 at 8:35 AM EDT
Mon. June 8 – Wed. June 10
High pressure centered over New York State will build across the
Valley today with some early morning river valley fog dissipating this
morning and mostly sunny skies overspreading the Saint John Valley.
The large area of high pressure will move east across the Mid-Atlantic
coast and out over the Atlantic Ocean Tuesday. Warm air will be
channeled into the region from the west-southwest, resulting in mostly
sunny skies and temperatures that are 5 to 10 degrees above normal for
many locations.
Beginning on Wednesday and continuing through the end of the week, the combination of warm temperatures, weak disturbances moving through the atmosphere, and modest instability may produce isolated to scattered afternoon showers and thunderstorms. These storms are expected to be limited in coverage and intensity, and severe weather is not anticipated because atmospheric conditions are not favorable for the development of strong thunderstorms.
For today, sunny skies with highs in the mid-70s in Fort Kent and
vicinity. North wind 4-8 mph. Tonight features mostly clear skies with
temperatures in the low 50s and west-southwest winds 0-5 mph.
Sunny and warmer conditions Tuesday with a high in the low 80s.
West-northwest wind 8-10 mph. Tuesday night, partly cloudy to mostly
cloudy skies develop thanks to a weak upper trough over the area and a
nearby cold front boundary to the north. Lows fall into the middle 50s
with west wind near calm
On Wednesday, partly sunny to mostly cloudy skies are expected as a warm front, located ahead of a slowly approaching cold front to the west, moves toward the region. A slight chance of isolated to scattered afternoon/evening showers are possible with rainfall amounts less than 1/10-inch. High in the low 80s with southwest wind 0-5 mph becoming south around 2 mph in the afternoon. Wednesday night features partly cloudy skies with a 40% chance of scattered showers and a low in the middle 50s. Southeast winds in the 0-7 mph range expected.
Thu. June 11 – Sun. June 14
High pressure is expected to strengthen again across the Northeast
on Thursday, although the combination of warm temperatures and daytime
heating could still lead to isolated/scattered afternoon showers and
thunderstorms. By Friday, a cold front approaching from the west will
begin moving toward the region. Most forecast guidance suggests the
front will remain west of the area until late Friday or even Saturday.
Friday will be partly sunny and warm, with afternoon highs again reaching the upper 70s to lower 80s. There will be a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms developing during the afternoon. Shower and thunderstorm chances will increase Friday night as a cold front approaches from the west. Skies will become mostly cloudy, with overnight lows settling into the upper 50s.
The unsettled pattern will continue through the weekend. Saturday will be partly sunny with highs in the lower 80s and a chance for scattered showers and thunderstorms during the afternoon and evening. Any remaining activity will gradually diminish Saturday night under partly cloudy skies, with lows in the upper 50s.
Sunday will feature a mix of sunshine and clouds with temperatures once again reaching the lower 80s. There will be another chance for scattered showers and thunderstorms during the day, with additional showers and thunderstorms possible Sunday night as skies become mostly cloudy. Overnight temperatures will cool into the middle 50s.
Extended Outlook
For guidance only rather than precise
predictions
Trends for unsettled conditions continue June 15-17 as a cold front
moves through with partly to mostly cloudy skies and a chance of
scattered shower activity. Temperature-wise, highs in the low
70s/upper 60s with lows in the lower 50s are expected.
Based on current forecast model data, NOAA's Climate Prediction
Center 8-14 Day outlook for June 15-21 indicates above normal
temperatures and near normal to slightly above normal precipitation
for the Saint John Valley.

Severe
Storms and Heavy Rain Threat Expands Across
Central and Northern U.S.
A multi-day
stretch of active weather will bring severe
thunderstorms and heavy rainfall to parts of
the central and northern United States through
Wednesday. On Monday, severe storms are
possible across portions of the Central
Plains, with risks including damaging wind
gusts, large hail, frequent lightning, and
isolated tornadoes. Heavy rainfall may also
trigger localized flash flooding in parts of
the Mississippi and Tennessee Valleys,
particularly in urban and low-lying areas. On
Tuesday, the greatest severe weather threat
shifts to the Northern Plains, where an
Enhanced Risk is in effect for strong
thunderstorms capable of producing damaging
winds, hail, and tornadoes. By Wednesday, the
severe storm threat moves into the Upper and
Middle Mississippi Valley. Meanwhile, periods
of rain will also affect the Pacific Northwest
and northern Rockies.
Severe
Thunderstorms Expected from the
Rockies to the Central Plains
Today
Severe thunderstorms are expected to develop this afternoon and evening from northeast Colorado and southeast Wyoming into parts of Nebraska and Kansas. The strongest storms may produce very large hail, damaging wind gusts exceeding 70 mph, and a few tornadoes. Storms are likely to form near the Colorado Front Range before moving east into increasingly warm and humid air across the Plains, where the severe weather threat will grow. By evening, storms may organize into larger lines capable of producing widespread damaging winds. Isolated severe storms are also possible in parts of Kansas, Oklahoma, the Texas Panhandle, and the northern Plains. In addition, a few strong storms with gusty winds or an isolated tornado may occur in southern Illinois and western Kentucky.

Dangerous
Flash Flood Threat Across the
Ozarks and Mississippi Valley
Heavy rainfall is expected to create a significant flash flood threat across parts of the Ozarks today, with the greatest concern centered on southeastern Kansas, northeastern Oklahoma, southwestern Missouri, and northwestern Arkansas. Slow-moving thunderstorms may produce several inches of rain in a short period, especially in areas with steep terrain, increasing the risk of rapid flooding. As the day progresses, the heaviest storms should shift southeast, but widespread showers and thunderstorms will continue across the Middle Mississippi and Tennessee Valleys. Some locations could receive very heavy rainfall, leading to flooding of roads, low-lying areas, small streams, and urban locations. Areas that received recent rainfall are particularly vulnerable. Additional isolated flash flooding is also possible across portions of the Upper Midwest and central Plains.

Critical
Fire Weather Conditions Expected
Across the Southwest and Rockies
Dangerous fire weather conditions are expected today across portions of the Southwest, Great Basin, and central Rockies. Strong winds and very dry air will combine with extremely dry vegetation to create an environment favorable for rapid wildfire growth and spread. Afternoon wind speeds of 20 to 30 mph are expected in many areas, while humidity levels will remain exceptionally low. Vegetation has become increasingly dry due to prolonged dry conditions and limited overnight moisture recovery, further increasing fire danger. In northwestern New Mexico, isolated thunderstorms may develop during the afternoon. However, many of these storms are expected to produce little rainfall because of the very dry air near the ground. Any lightning from these storms could spark new fires in areas with dry fuels.

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.
