Wet Weekend for parts of Maine

Hot Thursday, Storm Threat Returns for Friday

The southwesterly flow we've been seeing today will continue tonight and produce fog along the coast. Otherwise, most of the state will see mostly clear skies and temperatures in the 60s. The only exception is Down East, which will have temperatures dropping into the 50s. 

Tomorrow, the heat we've been seeing continues with temperatures throughout the state getting up into the 80s. As usual, the exception is the shoreline that will only see the mid-upper 70s. Mostly cloudy skies are expected throughout the state with dew points in the 60s, so it will also be fairly muggy. 

Scattered showers and thunderstorms will impact the state on Friday. The most widespread storms will occur in the evening and overnight hours as the cold front approaches our area. The primary threat associated with this system is damaging winds. Temperatures on Friday will be in the 80s again, with dewpoints in the 60s. In other words, another warm, muggy day. 

Rainy Saturday, Cool Down Through
​the Beginning of the Week 

Showers associated with a secondary front will push in Saturday. Temperatures will only reach the 70s throughout the state. The front will pass late Saturday night and cause a cool down on Sunday and into the  beginning of the week. Temperatures will still reach the 70s and low 80s on Sunday, but Monday and Tuesday will see mainly 60s (even with some isolated 50s!). There is also a chance for frost Sunday night and Monday night! Temperatures will drop into the low 40s and 30s in the northwestern portions of the state. If you have a garden and live in this area, be sure to cover your plants!
