Caribou, ME – Motorists are advised to exercise caution in the Caribou area this Saturday morning as patchy dense fog significantly reduces visibility on local roadways. The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued a special weather statement warning drivers that fog may reduce visibility to less than half a mile, particularly around rural routes in Aroostook County. Residents in areas like Madawaska, Fort Kent, and Caribou should expect low visibility throughout the morning hours.
According to the NWS, the fog is expected to linger until around 8 a.m., followed by partly sunny skies with a high near 64°F. Sunday’s forecast includes a slight chance of morning showers and patchy fog, particularly before 10 a.m., with temperatures reaching the high 60s.
Motorists traveling through Aroostook County should be prepared to reduce speeds, increase following distance, and use low-beam headlights in the fog. Drivers should also monitor weather updates as conditions may improve throughout the weekend. By Monday, sunny conditions are forecast, providing a brief respite before chances of showers return midweek.
