Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED
National Weather Service Gray ME
1040 AM EDT Mon Jun 16 2025

.SYNOPSIS...
The rest of the day will see sunshine and temperatures climbing into
the 70s this afternoon. We repeat the pattern tonight, with areas of
fog developing near the coast after dark. Temperature and humidity
will continue to creep up through midweek. By Thursday a cold front
will approach from the west and bring a threat of showers and
thunderstorms.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
1035 AM Update...No changes needing to the going forecast at
this point in time other than loading in current temps and
dewpoints.

Update...Minor changes to reflect latest observational trends.

Previous discussion...Areas of fog have developed near the
coast this morning in light onshore flow. This is expected to
scatter out fairly quickly after sunrise.

Temps will moderate a bit today...climbing slightly higher than
yesterday. There may be a stray shower in the mtns this
afternoon...but otherwise will be dry.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM TUESDAY/...
There is little overall change in the weather pattern tonight.
So cool temps and weak onshore winds should keep the threat of
marine fog and stratus present. I have a little more widespread
fog than tonight...moving inland thru the overnight hours. I
also added some drizzle near the immediate coast.

Much like this afternoon...Tue afternoon may see some diurnal
showers. Temps will again be seasonable...away from the
coast...with widespread readings in the 70s.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Evening Update...No significant changes to the forecast after
implementing the latest long range NBM. Widespread showers
remain likely beginning Tuesday night, with chances of
afternoon thunderstorms through the end of week.

Previous Discussion...
High pressure will remain just offshore on Tuesday. The will aid
in the development of a WAA pattern with a few showers and
possibly a thunderstorm during the afternoon, especially in the
far interior where heating should be greater. With the WAA
pattern will come clouds too, so we expect a mostly cloudy day
with temperatures really not that much warmer than the mid 70s
inland and around 70, if not 60s along the coast.

The WAA pattern will continue on Wednesday with an increasing
chance for showers and thunderstorms. SFC temps should get into
the 80s during the afternoon after any morning action. Dew
points will be on the rise also.

A significant cold front approaches the region on Thursday.
Temperatures in the 80s to around 90 with dew points well into
the 60s should make for a hot and humid day at many locations in
the forecast area as long as clouds and showers don`t get going
too early. Depending on the timing of the cold front, a few
thunderstorms may be strong to severe late afternoon and
evening.

&&

.AVIATION /10Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
Short Term...Some areas of IFR or lower conditions this morning
in marine fog and stratus. VFR returns after sunrise but areas
of IFR or lower are expected again tonight in marine fog and
stratus. Once again VFR will be widespread Tue afternoon.

Long Term...Onshore flow probably brings in some low stratus
and fog, at least at the coast Tuesday night and Wednesday and
may last into Thursday. A strong cold front moves through Thu
evening with a chance of showers and thunderstorms.

&&

.MARINE...
Short Term...Fair conditions thru Tue under high pressure. Areas
of fog will be possible near the coastline this morning and
again tonight.

Long Term...High pressure gradually moves eastward across the
North Atlantic through midweek next week with generally fair
conditions. However, fog will be possible. A cold front
approaches late in the week, with SCA conditions possible in
southwesterly flow ahead of the front by late Wednesday or
Thursday.

&&

.GYX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
ME...None.
NH...None.
MARINE...None.
