Weather Update Fort Kent, Maine & Vicinity 6:40 AM EDT | Monday, 10 March 2014 Todays Weather Mostly cloudy conditions and a slight chance for flurries and snow showers are expected today as an upper-level trough crosses the region during the morning period. A stronger low pressure system will cause clouds to thicken Monday night into Tuesday. The primary low is expected to be joined by a coastal low which will bring a chance for a couple of inches new snowfall to the Valley. Temperatures today will be a bit warmer than yesterday. Mondays high: 26° Monday nights low: 19° Southerly winds in the 4-6 mph range increasing to 8-10 mph overnight. Tuesday, 11 March 2014 Snow/snow showers are expected during the morning into the afternoon as an area of low pressure moves south of the region. Partly cloudy conditions are expected to develop later in the day as the low moves away. Tuesdays high: 32° Tuesday nights low: 14° Southeast/south winds around 5 mph shift to the northwest later in the day. Precipitation: around 1-2 inches of new snow (0.13 inches liquid equivalent) Wednesday, 12 March 2014 Clouds are expected to increase throughout the day as a low pressure develops along the Mid-Atlantic coast and moves towards the Gulf of Maine. At present, with some model disagreement, the heaviest snowfall from this system appears to be in Downeast and Central regions of Maine where 12 inches or more of new snowfall may occur with northern Maine receiving 2-4 inches of new snow, depending on the storms track. However, if the low pressure system travels closer to shore, then precipitation amounts in Fort Kent and vicinity could rise with the heavier amounts moving northwards towards our region. Snow continues into the overnight period with colder air moving in behind the system. Wednesdays high: 23° Wednesday nights low: 5° Northwest winds 6-10 mph Further ahead Snow winds down Thursday with Canadian high pressure and colder air filling in behind the departing system. Temperatures remain chilly into Friday before a low pressure system and associated warm front move towards the region heading into Saturday. The exact amounts of any precipitation are too early to tell with some models predicting lighter amounts and other showing a significant snowfall for the Fort Kent region. Temperatures increase Saturday with southerly winds pulling warmer air into the Valley. Highs in the teens Thursday and low 20s Friday before moving towards the low 30s Saturday with overnight lows near zero into the single digits. _______________________________________ Fort Kent Climatological Data for Sunday, 9 March 2014 High Temperature 22°F / -6°C recorded at 3:35 PM EDT Low Temperature 3°F / -16°C recorded at 10:21 PM EDT Peak Wind Gust 19 mph / 31 kph / 17 knots from the North recorded at 2:53 PM EST High barometric pressure 1011.4 millibars / 29.86 inches recorded at 9:52 AM EDT Low barometric pressure 1009.0 millibars / 29.79 inches recorded at 2:16 PM EDT Precipitation None recorded _______________________________________ National High and Low Temperature for the contiguous United States (NWS Weather Prediction Center) Issued 2 am EDT Monday, March 10, 2014 High Temperature for Sunday, March 9, 2014 (as received by 2 am EDT March 10) 89 at Anaheim, CA 89 at El Cajon, CA Low Temperature for Sunday, March 9, 2014 (as received by 2 am EDT March 10) -14 at Doe Lake, MI -14 at Spincich Lake, MI _______________________________________ World High and Low Temperatures for Saturday, 8 March 2014 (Weather Underground) High: 109°F / 43°C at Gedaref, Sudan Low: -83°F / -64°C Davis Lgb 46 Aws, Antarctica _______________________________________ Visit Apex Wx on the Weather Underground for near real-time weather information as well as archived climatological data: wunderground/cgi-bin/findweather/getForecast?query=04743&sp=KMEFORTK7 Left: Todays National Forecast Chart (NWS Weather Prediction Center) Right: GOES Composite Infrared Satellite | 9:30 UTC / 5:30 AM EDT (Space Science & Engineering Center / University of Wisconsin -Madison)
