The
Week Ahead for Fort Kent & the Saint John Valley of
Maine
Outlooks
typically updated 7–9 AM ET weekdays and 8–10 AM ET
weekends & holidays
7-Day
Outlook: Monday, June 15 – Sunday, June 21
Updated June 15 at 9:18 AM EDT
Mon. June 15 – Wed. June 17
Mostly cloudy skies are expected across the Valley this morning as
a cold front slowly crosses the region west to east. Rain this morning
will give way to showers this afternoon with skies becoming partly
sunny. Enough instability aloft exits for isolated thunderstorms;
however, instability is limited, so no severe weather is anticipated
today. Chance of precipitation is 80% with between 1/10 and 1/4-inch
rainfall possible by this evening, with higher totals possible with
any thunderstorms. Fort Kent's high reaches the low 70s with south
winds 5-6 mph this morning becoming west this afternoon at 0-5 mph.
Tonight, a 30% chance of evening showers with partly cloudy to
mostly clear skies overspreading the Valley as high pressure builds
across the SJV. Rainfall amounts generally less than 1/10-inch
expected. Lows tonight fall into the low 50s with northwest wind 0-5
mph.
High pressure builds across the SJV Tuesday into Wednesday with
mostly clear conditions. Highs Tuesday top out in the mid-70s with
northwest winds 5-8 mph. Tomorrow night, mostly clear skies are
expected with lows in the upper 40s in Fort Kent and neighboring
locations with southwest winds near calm.
Wednesday begins with mostly sunny skies with partly sunny
conditions developing in the afternoon as high pressure ridging moves
east and low pressure slowly crosses the Great Lakes and tracks into
Ontario/Québec by Thursday as it begins to occlude. High temperatures
peak in the low 80s Wednesday with southwest wind 0-5 mph becoming
south later in the day. Area residents should see partly cloudy skies
Wednesday night with temperatures in the low 50s and light south
winds.
Thu. June 18 – Sun. June 21
Strong low pressure approaches from the Great Lakes Thursday and
crosses the region Thursday night into Friday. Rain is expected to
move into the area by around midday Thursday, although there is still
some uncertainty about the exact timing and evolution of the system.
Conditions appear favorable for a period of steady rainfall Thursday
evening as strong winds a few thousand feet above the ground transport
abundant moisture into the region.
Atmospheric moisture levels are expected to be unusually high for
this time of year, and current guidance indicates a moderate
likelihood of receiving at least 1/2-inch of rain. As a result,
localized flooding may develop, particularly in areas that experience
thunderstorms. However, it remains too early to determine the overall
flood threat with confidence.
Key uncertainties include how much moisture reaches the area ahead
of the storm and whether the low-pressure system slows or shifts its
movement. If the system stalls or rain bands linger over the same
locations, rainfall totals could increase and elevate the risk of
flooding, so this situation will need to be monitored as the week
progresses.
An upper-level low associated with the surface system may meander
over the Northeast and Maritimes as the weekend progresses, which will
keep a mix of sun and clouds along with a chance of showers, and even
some isolated thunderstorms, across the Valley through Sunday.
Partly cloudy to partly sunny skies expected Thursday with a high
in the mid-70s and a 70% chance of afternoon showers and isolated
thunderstorms. Southeast winds 8-14 mph. Thursday night, showers are
likely with a 90% chance of precipitation and overnight temperatures
in the low 50s. South winds 8-14 mph.
On Friday, showers are likely along with some isolated afternoon
thunderstorms under mostly cloudy skies with a 70% chance of
precipitation. Highs in the low 70s with southwest at 8-14 mph. Friday
night, partly to mostly cloudy skies with a 50% chance of showers.
West wind 0-7 mph across the region.
Saturday, partly sunny skies overspread the Valley as an
upper-level low crosses the region as moves to the Maritimes with a
50% chance of showers and isolated thunderstorms across the area. High
in the mid-60s with west wind 0-7 mph. Saturday night, partly cloudy
skies with a low near 50 and a 30% chance of scattered showers for
Fort Kent and vicinity. West wind 0-7 mph.
Sunday, mostly cloudy skies continue across the region with a 60%
chance of showers, especially in the afternoon, along with a chance of
isolated thunderstorms. High in the upper 60s with west wind 0-7 mph.
For Sunday night, mostly cloudy skies with a 50% chance of showers and
isolated thunderstorms in the evening with a low in the upper 40s/near
50.
Extended Outlook for Mon. June 22 - Sun. June 28
For
guidance rather than precise predictions due to increasing
forecast uncertainty
For Fort Kent and the surrounding area, the weather is expected to
remain relatively quiet through midweek. Showery weather possible with
highs in the low 70s and lows in the lower 50s Monday. Tuesday and
Wednesday will feature a mix of sun and clouds with seasonable
temperatures. Highs are forecast to reach the lower 70s during the
afternoons, while overnight lows fall into the lower to middle 50s.
Humidity levels will remain comfortable, and winds will generally be
light.
NOAA's Climate Prediction Center outlook for Mon. June 22 through
Sun. June 28 indicates slightly below normal temperatures and slightly
above normal precipitation for the Saint John Valley.

Cooler
Air Settles Across the East While Heavy Rain
Threat Grows Along the Gulf Coast
A much cooler air mass is spreading across much of the eastern and central United States, bringing a welcome break from recent warmth. Rain across New England is moving out, while temperatures from the Plains to the Northeast fall to levels well below normal for mid-June. Many areas will see comfortable highs mainly in the 70s and lower 80s. Meanwhile, the greatest weather concern will be along the Gulf Coast from South Texas into Louisiana, where a prolonged period of heavy rain is expected through the middle of the week. Several inches of rain may fall, raising the risk of flooding in vulnerable locations. Forecasters are also monitoring the potential for tropical development near the Texas coast. Elsewhere, the Pacific Northwest will begin to cool after a brief heat wave, while hot conditions persist across the Desert Southwest.

Isolated
Strong Storms Possible Across
Parts of the Plains and Upper
Midwest
A few strong to severe thunderstorms are possible this afternoon and evening across portions of the southern High Plains and the Upper Midwest. The greatest threats will be isolated large hail and damaging wind gusts, although widespread severe weather is not expected. Across eastern New Mexico, southeastern Colorado, southwest Kansas, and nearby areas, thunderstorms are expected to develop during the afternoon and may organize into clusters as they move southeastward. Some storms could produce large hail and locally strong winds. Farther north, scattered thunderstorms are forecast across the Dakotas and parts of Minnesota. While moisture will be somewhat limited, strengthening winds in the atmosphere could allow a few storms to produce gusty to damaging winds. Along the Gulf Coast and Southeast, isolated storms may also become briefly strong, but the overall severe weather threat remains low and localized.

Serious
Flash Flood Threat Develops
Along the Texas Gulf Coast and
Parts of Mississippi
A dangerous flash
flooding situation is expected to
develop today across much of the
Texas Gulf Coast, South Texas, and
portions of west-central
Mississippi. Extremely moist
tropical air moving inland from
the Gulf of Mexico will create
conditions capable of producing
intense rainfall rates and
repeated rounds of thunderstorms.
In South Texas and along the Texas
coast, some storms may produce
several inches of rain in just a
few hours, with localized areas
receiving much higher totals.
Flooding could become widespread,
especially in urban areas and
locations where storms repeatedly
move over the same communities.
Farther east, parts of Louisiana
and Mississippi face a heightened
flood risk as numerous
thunderstorms develop along a
stalled front. Areas with already
saturated ground will be
especially vulnerable to rapid
flash flooding through this
evening.

Dry
and Windy Conditions Increase
Wildfire Risk Across Parts of the
Plains and Rockies
Elevated wildfire danger is expected this afternoon across portions of eastern Wyoming, the Nebraska Panhandle, and nearby areas as dry air and gusty winds combine with receptive vegetation. A cold front moving through the region will bring stronger northwesterly winds, while daytime heating lowers humidity levels to very dry values. These conditions can allow fires to start more easily and spread more rapidly if they develop. Additional pockets of elevated fire weather are possible across parts of the eastern Great Basin, Four Corners region, and Central Rockies. Although the threat is expected to be more localized in these areas, low humidity and locally strong winds could still support increased fire activity.
