Fort the upcoming period, NWS Caribou's forecast discussion notes - that a "very strong North Atlantic blocking pattern will be in place - during the long-term period. This pattern will feature a strong high - pressure system over southern Greenland, which will trap a strong - low-pressure system over the Canadian Maritimes. The result will be - any systems during this period will be shunted well south of Maine. - Thus, expect mostly dry conditions during this period, save for - perhaps an isolated snow shower or flurry."

Currently, Fort Kent and vicinity will be mostly cloudy Saturday - with highs in the mid-10s and light west winds.
