SYNOPSIS
A disturbance will approach from the south tonight and bring rain into the Downeast region on Saturday. High pressure will move south across the region Sunday into early next week. High pressure builds south of the area through the middle of the week.

NEAR TERM /THROUGH SATURDAY/
6 PM Update...Some showers have formed again this afternoon along the northern reaches of a seabreeze boundary from Southern Piscataquis County east through central Penobscot County.
Increased pops to account for these showers. However, expect the showers to dissipate following the ending of days heating as we go into evening.

A weak shortwave will continue to push north and away from the North Woods this evening, and as the sun sets, the lack of surface heating will allow for diurnally driven showers to dissipate. The same will be the case for showers along the sea breeze this afternoon, which will quickly dissipate into the evening hours. Cloud cover will begin to increase through the overnight hours as the disturbances to the north and south lead to an increase in mid and high level clouds. With light southeast winds continuing and overcast skies, temperatures will remain mild tonight with lows in the low to mid 50s.

For Saturday, a disturbance to the south of the forecast area will bring a surge of moisture into the region, with PWATs Downeast surpassing 1 to 1.2 inches by late Saturday afternoon.
Scattered to numerous rain showers will spread across the Downeast region, brining another round of rainfall to the region late Saturday morning into Saturday evening. Across the north, showers will be less likely, though overcast skies will keep high temperatures in the upper 60s to around 70. Downeast, rainfall and marine influence will keep high temperatures cooler in the lower 60s.

SHORT TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/
Guidance, along with hires models, are continuing to advertise showers over Downeast Saturday evening as upr lvl disturbance interacts with nrn moisture field associated with sfc low approximately 400 miles south of Nova Scotia. Rain should be on the wane after daybreak. Ridge axis likely to take hold of CWA Sunday afternoon into Monday afternoon as upr ridge builds in.
Ridge will begin to slowly flatten Monday morning with next chc for showers topping the ridge mid-late afternoon on Monday, mainly across the north.

Pattern during the extended remains unsettled with upper level ridge over the Gulf Coast extending up along the southeastern seaboard.
How far north s/waves can track on the northern periphery remains up in the air from model to model and from run to run.

Warmest days of the week look to be Tuesday and Wednesday, and possibly Thursday too depending on speed of front.
