Yeah guys... Once this Upper Level Low moves out tomorrow it's open season for the heat to come in. Enjoy the week!


Here is what NWS Gray says:


Quote:
National Weather Service Gray ME
1204 PM EDT Sun Apr 29 2018

As the upper low moves overhead expect showers to continue
through the overnight and into Monday in the mountains.
Temperatures will drop below freezing at night at elevation
switching over to snow above 1500ft.


Temperatures only reach the upper 50s north to 60s and a few
lower 70s south on Tuesday. Increasing heights and southwest
to westerly winds will facilitate much warmer temperatures
(10-15 degrees above normal) for the remainder of the work week-
with highs over southern and interior sections in the mid 70s
to lower 80s.
We may see a couple spots even flirt with 85.
There may be a seabreeze that develops Wednesday and Thursday
afternoons...keeping coastal locations from Portland to the Mid
Coast slightly cooler.

Temperatures drop off closer to normal values towards the end of
the week behind a cold front...however we will still be on the
warm side. Large scale troughing swings through the central
CONUS, with northern and southern stream systems attempting to
merge over the northeast by late Friday. Details are still in
contention at this point, but it does look like a period of
cooler and rainy weather next weekend.

2:30pm map. It's warmer in northern Maine than D.C thanks to the sun there and a southerly flow still on the warm side of the low.


The center of this vortex Upper Low aloft is now over Albany and moving over Maine tomorrow.

We drove over to Grand Falls in that sunshine. Gorgeous day.
This time of year, Grand Falls has 90% of the water flow that Niagara Falls has. An old timer there today told me he has never seen it as high as it was today, thanks to the snow this winter. So it may have been closer to 95% of Niagara's volume. The drop off is at least 100 feet, but you would never know that today...today the water was probably 80 feet deep once it went past that precipice. In a few weeks you will be able to really see the waterfall effect.
It is a ferocious place that some people don't even know exists (but there WERE cars today from many provinces and states).

What a pretty Upper Low! I saw it was snowing above 2000' underneath it over NY, VT and MA.

7-11am loop. This thing is pulling off the coast of Maine right now. Once it leaves the warm air can come in




With temps on.

Frost alert:

NWS says much of Maine will have frost tonight. Two years ago we lost much of our apple crop when the blossoms froze. Where I live, the apple blossoms are not out yet, but low altitude orchards like in the Augusta and Fryeburg areas are at great risk again. Bangor area too like Levant and points west.

Global warming: Humbug.
