DISCUSSION
KEY MESSAGE 1...A chance of showers Downeast Tuesday. Otherwise, dry Monday through Wednesday.
KEY MESSAGE 1 DESCRIPTION... High pressure will build across the region tonight through Wednesday keeping generally dry conditions across the forecast area. However, low pressure will track south of the Gulf of Maine Tuesday. The northern edge of the precipitation shield with the low could possibly clip Downeast areas with a chance of showers. Generally expect near normal, to slightly above normal, level temperatures Monday through Wednesday. However, cooler temperatures are possible Downeast Tuesday with more extensive cloud cover.
KEY MESSAGE 2...Increasing heat and humidity mid to late week before a cold front Thursday night brings showers and thunderstorm chances.
KEY MESSAGE 2 DESCRIPTION... Temperatures increase slightly through the week, with high temperatures 5-10 degrees above average on Thursday, reaching the mid to upper 80s. A weak upper level shortwave and a cold front move through the area Thursday night. PW values increase to near the 90th percentile Thursday and Thursday night. This will bring a chance for showers and thunderstorms Thursday and Friday with the cold front. The trough should clear the CWA Friday night leaving mainly dry weather through the weekend.
