Dry and cool times for the week

9/16/2019

The haves and have nots

Picture
If it were not for Hurricane Dorian, I suspect there would be much more brown on this chart of anomalous rainfall than green. Most of the recorded rainfall for the eastern half of the state came from that one storm. northwestern areas around Jackman over to Moosehead have received their rainfall from the frontal boundaries passing through southern Quebec that picked up a charge of moisture from the St. Lawrence, then run out of moisture as the move to the south and east. 

It's bone dry for southwestern areas, as well as the MidCoast. It appears that it will stay that way for a while. 
Picture
Unless something tropical flares up that could bring some remnant rainfall, I don't expect a whole lot of rain for southwestern areas through the end of the month. I suspect zonal flow and weak clippers may assist the rain gauge in the mountains and north as we head into next week. 

While much of Maine is not officially in any level of drought status as of yet, I suspect the if the current trend continues, that it could be soon.

Generally below normal temperatures
​until the weekend

Picture
Slow moving high pressure over the region will keep temperatures a bit on the cool side for the week. Actual high temperatures will range in the 50s and 60s Monday and Tuesday, 60s most everywhere on Wednesday, then 60s and 70s to round out the last two days of the work week. Interior southern areas may see 80s return over the weekend. 
Picture
Frost potential returns for western, northern and perhaps well protected eastern areas Tuesday night into Wednesday morning. Wednesday night into Thursday morning may bring a threat of frost to protected areas in the far north again. Stay tuned for updates on that.

A special thank you to those that have signed up to be monthly contributors on my Patreon page and to those who have mailed checks to me.  This a labor of love here. I don't mind the 4 AM wake up calls (2 AM for snow days) to formulate a forecast, create graphics then write it all out for your consumption, so long as I have the financial support from you to continue to do so.  There is no media or marketing influence here. No model forecast bias. No political or scientific agenda. It's just Maine weather, plain and simple. I would appreciate your support to continue this for 2020. Contributors are donation on average of $5 per month / $60 per year either through Patreon or by check. No amount is too small. This is Maine, most of us are on tight budgets, and having been there myself, I understand the struggle. All I ask is to do what you can. If you can't do anything financially right now, that is totally understandable. Please pass along what I do to others and help this site to grow!

Thank you for your support!
