Caribou, ME – Northern and eastern Maine are seeing a layer of stratocumulus clouds this afternoon, which will continue into tomorrow morning. The National Weather Service in Caribou reports that these clouds, a hybrid of stratus and cumulus, will bring cooler evening temperatures.
According to the National Weather Service, tonight’s temperatures are expected to dip into the low-to-mid 40s. Stratocumulus clouds are often categorized by their lower height and puffy, sheet-like appearance. These hybrid clouds can lead to cooler nights and a pleasant sky, with thicker cloud cover bringing less sunshine.
Residents in Caribou, Houlton, and other surrounding areas should expect temperatures to range between 40-44°F overnight. This cooler weather pattern will likely continue through the early part of the week, making it an ideal time to prepare for fall conditions.
