Forecast Discussion

A deepening low over the Gulf of Maine will continue to lift north today towards the Canadian Maritimes as high pressure builds in from the southwest for Saturday. Enough residual moisture will remain behind the low this morning that low clouds and possibly some snow showers will brush the state this morning. A band of showers is retrograding down the coast this morning so southeastern areas have the best chance for mixed showers early. But as the day progresses, upslope flow may bring about a few light snow showers in the mountains in the north. While the north is expected to maintain the low clouds and possible snow showers for the better part of the day, downslope winds will clear most of the south of the state allowing mostly sunny skies by the afternoon. Drier air with the high will move in for the afternoon allowing the south to remain clear and working north allowing for some partly sunny conditions. The clearing trend will continue into the overnight hours as the high begins to crest over the southern part of the state. The low winds and clear skies will allow for clear skies by sunrise. But as the high slides offshore tomorrow, temperatures will rebound to near normal levels during the day. Skies will start clear tomorrow but an incoming cold front for Saturday night into Sunday morning will bring thickening and lowering clouds. No showers are being indicated for the front but will not rule them out completely. Sunday will see clearing once again as high pressure crests over the state briefly before sliding offshore Monday as low pressure moves east across Quebec. This low will bring a warm front along the US boarder on Tuesday with a cold front poised for Tuesday night into Wednesday passage. Tuesday into Wednesday may see a few showers pass through the state as a result.
