Caribou, ME – Get ready for an active weekend in northern Maine, with a rainstorm expected to impact Caribou on Saturday, followed by a brighter, sunnier forecast for Mother’s Day. If you’re planning any outdoor activities or travel, be prepared for changing conditions over the weekend.
According to the National Weather Service, Saturday’s weather will be a washout for much of the day, with rain starting early and lasting into the evening. Expect heavy rainfall with up to an inch of accumulation in some areas. The high temperature will hover near 49°F, and gusty winds from the northeast could reach up to 20 mph. If you’re on the road, be mindful of slick conditions, especially during the afternoon and evening commute.
Looking ahead to Sunday, things are expected to improve dramatically. The forecast calls for a sunny, warm Mother’s Day with temperatures reaching 52°F. While winds will still be breezy, coming from the northwest at 10 to 20 mph, the day should offer a much-needed break from the rain. It’s a perfect opportunity to enjoy outdoor plans, from barbecues to hikes.
The rest of the week will follow suit, with Monday seeing partly sunny skies and mild temperatures near 62°F. The weather will remain relatively pleasant, although there’s a slight chance of showers on Tuesday afternoon. Make sure to prepare for brief rain showers, especially before noon.
