Caribou, ME – Northern Maine will experience unusually warm weather through Tuesday, with the potential for record or near-record high temperatures, according to the National Weather Service (NWS) Caribou.
Forecasters said dry and sunny conditions are expected to persist through Monday, with afternoon highs reaching well above seasonal averages. The warm spell will peak from Sunday through Tuesday, when several areas could challenge standing temperature records.
According to the NWS update, measurable rain is expected to arrive late Tuesday into Wednesday, bringing a sharp transition to cooler, more seasonable conditions by midweek.
Forecast maps from NWS Caribou show temperatures in the upper 70s across much of northern and central Maine through early next week, significantly higher than the region’s typical early-October highs.
The agency advises residents to stay weather-aware as temperatures shift midweek, noting that the transition from warm to cool air could increase chances of scattered showers or brief storms late Tuesday night.
Residents are encouraged to monitor local forecasts for updated timing and impacts, especially for travel and outdoor plans early in the week.
