Stationary front continues to be stubborn Scattered showers will persist today as a frontal boundary lingers just south of the region, before clearing out by Friday night due to high pressure taking over. The Bermuda high will take hold through the weekend, directing southerly flow up the East Coast. This will bring mainly dry conditions and warm weather on Saturday and Sunday. Another weak trough will move into the state on Sunday and continue into Monday. Early next week, the ridge is expected to begin weakening, allowing for a return of spotty showers and a gradual warming of temperatures. Isolated showers and storms on Friday Friday 2 AM to Saturday 2 AM - There is a chance for showers across the state on Friday. However, the most significant potential for rain will occur in northern and mountainous regions. Scattered showers are likely to happen in these areas throughout the day and into Friday night, with a possible thunderstorm developing in the afternoon. The pattern will generally move southeast, but coastal areas should not expect as much rain. The most they will see is a few sprinkles from lingering moisture. Potential dense fog in spots early Saturday Saturday appears to be the best day of the weekend, with a minimal chance of showers across the state. However, in the early morning hours, areas including the southernmost portion of the state and the mountains will experience reduced visibility due to dense fog with perhaps some patchy drizzle. Higher visibility values are present over eastern Maine and offshore, implying clearer conditions. The scattered patches of very low visibility highlight potential hazards for any early morning activities. Humidity, rain, with possible storms |
