Caribou, Maine – Patchy fog and scattered rain showers will complicate commutes and evening plans for Mainers along the coast and Downeast through early Friday, as high pressure shifts and unsettled weather approaches the region.
According to the National Weather Service in Caribou, fog is expected to develop over the waters and along the coastline late tonight, lowering visibility during the overnight and early morning hours. Central Highlands towns—including Greenville, Millinocket, and Dover-Foxcroft—could see a few isolated rain showers or thunderstorms this evening, with rain chances increasing across the state Thursday into Friday.
Cities such as Bangor, Bar Harbor, and Calais should expect a damp, cloudy start on Thursday, with scattered showers possible through Saturday morning. Northwestern Maine may experience a brief round of thunderstorms Thursday night, though widespread severe weather is not anticipated. Travelers are urged to use caution on coastal routes and consider delaying non-essential trips until fog lifts. Residents should also prepare for fluctuating temperatures and keep devices charged in case of isolated power outages.
By the weekend, a trough moves northwest of Maine, bringing another shot at spotty showers and thunderstorms, especially Saturday. Drier and warmer weather is expected to build in for the second half of the weekend. Further updates and possible advisories will be issued as conditions change.
