Dry on Thursday before showers and thunderstorms arrive for Friday and the weekend

7/14/2021

Storms ahead bring more rain to the area through Sunday

Picture
​Some rain showers and thunderstorms are likely to impact Maine starting on Friday and continuing through the weekend. The most significant rainfall totals are likely to be in some of the hardest hit areas by recent drought conditions.

A break from the storms on Thursday

Picture
​Thursday will bring a break from the showery and stormy weather. Along with a mix of sun and clouds, there exists only an isolated chance for a stray shower or thunderstorm across the region. Temperatures will be warm and likely to reach the lower 80’s across much of interior Maine while staying in the 70’s along the coast as a sea breeze sets up. The air may feel a bit sticky along the coast as dewpoints reach 65 and over making the air feel a bit uncomfortable.

Thunderstorms return on Friday

Picture
A trough ahead of a cold front will be moving through the area on Friday. Sufficient instability ahead of the trough will sustain ongoing convection as it crosses the border into western Maine Friday morning. As a result of the nearly parallel orientation of the mean wind along the trough, storms are likely to organize into lines. There is the possibility that some of the storms could become severe, especially towards the afternoon when storms are in southern and eastern Maine. Otherwise, expect a mix of sun and clouds. Temperatures should again be warm, reaching the mid and upper 80’s just inland of the coast and upper 70’s farther inland. 

Possibility for some more thunderstorms over the weekend
​

Picture
​As low pressure sets up over the region, the chance for showers and thunderstorms continues into Saturday primarily in the SW region, however, there still exists some uncertainty in where the area of low pressure will be located and thus it is possible the extent of the rain could extend farther south or north. On Sunday, conditions should be drier aside from the occasional shower. Mostly cloudy skies will dominate across much of the area on Sunday while the County and Allagash regions should be mostly sunny. Temperatures should be in the 80’s and upper 70’s.

Showers and thunderstorms to start next week

Picture
As a stationary front lingers around the area on Monday, scattered showers are possible throughout central and northern Maine. Skies will otherwise be mostly sunny in the north and mostly cloudy elsewhere. A cold front brings another possibility for showers and storms on Tuesday as it crosses the state along with mostly cloudy skies. Temperatures for Monday and Tuesday should be in the 80’s across much of the region.

Temperature outlook through the end of next week

Temperatures should peak late this week before slightly cooling over the weekend and remaining steady in the upper 70's and lower 80's through the end of next week.

Hurricane Preparedness - Develop Your Evacuation Plan

Picture
Take some time to make sure you have a hurricane evacuation plan. The first thing you need to do is find out if you live in a storm surge hurricane evacuation zone or if you’re in a home that would be unsafe during a hurricane. If you are, figure out where you’d go and how you’d get there if told to evacuate. You do not need to travel hundreds of miles. Identify someone, perhaps a friend or relative who doesn’t live in an evacuation zone or unsafe home, and coordinate with them to use their home as your evacuation destination. Be sure to account for your pets, as most local shelters do not permit them. Put the plan in writing for you and those you care about. For more information ► hurricanes.gov/prepare
