The
Week Ahead for Fort Kent & the Saint John Valley of
Maine
7-Day
Outlook for Monday, June 22 – Sunday, June 28
Updated
June 22 at 8:15 AM EDT
Mon. June 22 – Wed. June 24
A stalled frontal boundary looks to remain draped northwest to
southeast across Maine today. This will serve as the focal area for
numerous showers and thunderstorms this afternoon generally
moving southwest to northeast across the Valley. A broad upper-level
low over Canada will gradually move east today into midweek keeping
unsettled conditions across the SJV. High temperatures reach the low
70s in most locations partly sunny to mostly cloudy skies and a 70%
chance of showers and scattered afternoon thunderstorms. Rainfall
totals in the 1/10 to 1/4-inch range possible, with higher amounts
possible with any storms. South wind 0-5 mph today.
Tonight, low pressure sliding towards the Northeast from the
Middle Atlantic region will reach southwestern Maine by early
Tuesday. Evening showers become isolated overnight before increasing
in frequency early Tuesday. Overnight lows in the lower 50s with
near calm southeast winds for Fort Kent and vicinity. Areas of fog
are possible overnight into early Tuesday. Chance of precipitation
overnight is 80%.
As the low slides along the Maine coast Tuesday, showers and isolated thunderstorms are likely Tuesday with a 90% chance of precipitation. Rainfall amounts in the 1/10 to 1/4-inch range expected, with higher amounts associated with thunderstorms. High in the upper 60s with east winds 0-5 mph.
The upper-level trough slides across the Northeast into the
Maritimes Wednesday with showers likely along with isolated
afternoon thunderstorms. Precipitation totals are expected to be
fairly light with most locations accumulating less than 1/10-inch
rainfall, with thunderstorms potentially producing more. Mostly
cloudy skies with a high in the middle 60s with northwest wind 5-10
mph.
Wednesday night, the upper low moves east with a lull in
precipitation overnight. Area residents can expect partly cloudy
skies and only a 10% chance of showers. Low near 50F with northwest
wind 0-7 mph.
Thu. June 25 – Sun. June 28
High pressure builds across the Valley Thursday with partly sunny
skies and a high in the lower 70s. North wind 0-7 mph. Chance of
precipitation increase to 30% by afternoon as a new surface low
pressure area approaches from the west. Scattered showers are
expected overnight with a 50% chance of precipitation and
temperatures in the lower 50s. Southeast wind 0-7 mph.
The occluding low lifts across Maine Friday with showers likely,
especially in the afternoon along with a chance of scattered
thunderstorms. Friday's high tops out in the low 70s with southeast
winds 0-7 mph. Friday night, mostly cloudy skies with an 80% chance
of showers and lows in the low-to-middle 50s. South wind 0-7 mph.
The front moves through the Valley Saturday with mostly cloudy skies and a 60% chance of showers and isolated afternoon thunderstorms. High in the low-to-mid-70s. Northwest winds 0-7 mph. Saturday night, low pressure lifts into the Maritimes with scattered showers overnight and chances of precipitation falling to 30%. Lows in the lower 50s with northwest wind 0-7 mph.
Sunday, troughing remains over the Valley with scattered showers
possible across the region. High in the mid-70s under partly sunny
skies. Northwest wind 0-7 mph. Sunday night, high pressure builds in
with partly cloudy skies and a 10% chance of showers overnight.

Summer
Begins with Severe Storm Threats in the
East and Plains While Intense Heat Expands
Across the West and South
The first days of summer will bring a mix of dangerous weather across the United States. Scattered heavy rainfall and severe thunderstorms are possible today from parts of the Northeast westward into the High Plains, with the greatest concerns including damaging winds, large hail, localized flooding, and frequent lightning. Storms are expected to shift eastward and gradually weaken in some areas tonight, although active weather may continue across the Plains and Mississippi Valley. Unsettled conditions are likely to persist across parts of the central United States through midweek, bringing additional chances for flash flooding and severe storms. Meanwhile, much of the West, Southwest, Rockies, Gulf Coast, and Southeast will experience unusually hot temperatures, while cooler-than-average conditions settle across the Plains, Great Lakes, and Northeast.

Severe
Thunderstorm Outbreak Threatens
Parts of the Plains, Mississippi
Valley, and Ohio Valley Tonight
Severe thunderstorms are expected to continue through tonight across portions of the Plains, Mississippi Valley, and Ohio Valley, bringing the risk of damaging winds, large hail, and tornadoes. Some tornadoes could be strong, particularly in areas from Indiana and Kentucky into surrounding regions. Storm clusters moving eastward may produce damaging wind gusts before gradually weakening later tonight. Farther west, conditions are favorable for powerful thunderstorms from southwestern Kansas into central Oklahoma, where very large hail, isolated tornadoes, and destructive wind gusts are possible. Forecasters warn that some wind gusts could exceed 75 miles per hour overnight as storms organize into larger complexes. Residents across affected areas should remain alert for rapidly changing weather conditions and be prepared to take shelter if warnings are issued.

Dangerous
Flash Flood Threat Develops
from Arkansas to Western
Tennessee and Mississippi
A significant flash
flood threat is expected across
parts of Arkansas, western
Tennessee, and northwestern
Mississippi as a large area of
thunderstorms produces intense
rainfall through Monday morning.
Forecasters have upgraded the
region to a Moderate Risk for
excessive rainfall, with some
locations potentially receiving
up to 6 inches of rain and
rainfall rates approaching 3
inches per hour. Areas near
Jonesboro, Arkansas, and
Memphis, Tennessee, are among
those most at risk for flooding.
Streets, low-lying areas, and
small streams could quickly
become overwhelmed, leading to
hazardous travel conditions and
localized flood damage. While
the heaviest rainfall should
gradually weaken and move away
by midday, additional rounds of
thunderstorms may develop later
across parts of Oklahoma, Texas,
and the ArkLaTex region,
bringing renewed flooding
concerns.

Dry,
Breezy Weather Raises Wildfire
Risk Across Parts of the
Interior West and Southern Idaho
A developing weather pattern across the western United States will create conditions favorable for increased wildfire danger today. Dry air, warm temperatures, and steady breezes are expected across portions of the southern Great Basin, the Four Corners region, and southern Idaho. Winds of 15 to 20 miles per hour combined with very low humidity levels between 10 and 15 percent will dry vegetation and make it easier for any fires that start to spread quickly. The greatest concern is in areas with already dry grasses, brush, and other vegetation. While these conditions are not expected to reach the most extreme levels, they will be sufficient to elevate fire risk throughout the afternoon and early evening. Residents should use extra caution with any activity that could create sparks or flames.

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.
