Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Gray ME
612 AM EST Sun Nov 1 2026

.WHAT HAS CHANGED...
No major changes were needed for the morning update as a quiet
weather weekend continues. Just blended in the latest
observations to the going forecast and updated the aviation
forecast.

&&

.KEY MESSAGES...
1. Temperatures will average above normal through the middle of
the week with mostly dry weather. Precipitation chances increase
towards the end of the week.

.DISCUSSION...
KEY MESSAGE 1 DESCRIPTION...
High pressure near overhead will allow for cold morning this
morning with temperatures in the mid 20s to low teens.
Temperatures will rebound into the 50s today under sunny skies
as high pressure settles south of the area. Rising heights and
modest warm air advection will continue the warming trend into
Monday when much of the area will see highs in the 60s and
southern locations pushing 70F.

A cold front over SE Canada will attempt to push southward into
the area Tuesday that will bring more in the way of clouds and
low chances for showers, mainly across the north. Highs will
likely drop a few degrees from Monday`s readings, but will
remain mild in the 50s and 60s. This front will likely lift
north of the area Wednesday leading to mostly dry conditions and
highs creeping upwards into the 60s. Troughing over the central
US will migrate east through the second half of the week while
models suggest the trough will weaken as it does so.
Nevertheless, this trough will advect moisture into the region
with PoPs increasing Thursday into Friday. While a multi model
consensus suggest the Northeast will see some precipitation
these days and going into the weekend, confidence is low in the
evolution of any low pressure systems or fronts that will drive
the precipitation. The pattern looks to remain unsettled going
into early next week.

.AVIATION /12Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...

around the mountains.

the mountains. More widespread showers possible.

&&

.MARINE...
Winds and seas remain below SCA thresholds through the middle of
the week. Flow will generally be SW today through Monday night
with high pressure centered south of the waters. Winds turn more
southerly Wednesday into Thursday as high pressure moves east
and an area of low pressure moves into the Great Lakes region.
SCA conditions may become possible late in the week as low
pressure moves east of the Great Lakes.
