Today's update is presented by Crowe’s Restoration in Arundel. For emergency fire and water damage, mold, or biohazard issues in western and southern Maine, call them at 207-467-3152.  WEDNESDAY: A weak area of low pressure heads towards Newfoundland. Any areas of fog early will clear out as the northwest wind picks up and brings dry air into the region. Cold air advection, trailing weak upper-level waves, and upslope winds keep the Quebec border areas and the north in clouds that will break up later in the day. Through mid-afternoon, there is the risk of an isolated shower/sprinkle for the higher elevations and up into the far north. ELEVATED FIRE DANGER due to low relative humidity values and gusty northwest winds is expected over southwestern areas. Please use caution with flammable materials. WEDNESDAY NIGHT: The northwest wind settles. A partly cloudy sky is expected over the north and mountains, with a mainly clear sky for the south and east. Low temperatures range from the low to mid-30s north to around 40° along the south coast. THURSDAY: High pressure and weak ridging move into the region for a brief visit. Clouds increase from the northwest to southeast during the afternoon as a weak shortwave enters the area. Rain showers appear likely for the west and north in the late afternoon, spreading east by early evening. High temperatures range from the low 50s north to near 70° over southwest interior areas. With an onshore flow, the shorelines may struggle to reach 60°. FRIDAY: Overnight showers are expected to clear out around daylight but will return to western areas by mid-afternoon as a warm front moves in from the west. THE WEEKEND: Model ideas about how much rainfall will result from this are as consistent as lottery balls. I am sticking with ½-1"+ of rainfall potential for now. Saturday is the wetter day. The north may get some snow as a parting gift on Sunday. Stay tuned! Current observations, more details and important links |
