Caribou, Maine – Thick fog is expected to blanket northern Maine overnight into Monday morning, reducing visibility and making travel hazardous along Route 161 and other rural roads. Residents should plan for extra travel time and use caution during early commutes, especially where damp pavement and low clouds combine.
According to the National Weather Service in Caribou, scattered showers will linger into Sunday evening before patchy fog develops overnight. Visibility could drop to less than a quarter mile at times, with conditions improving by mid-morning Monday. Calm winds tonight will shift slightly from the north by Monday afternoon.
Monday brings a welcome break in the clouds, with mostly sunny skies and a high near 71 degrees. Drivers should remain alert early, as morning fog could reduce visibility on highways and secondary routes before burning off by late morning.
Tuesday looks even brighter, with sunshine and highs in the mid-70s, making it one of the week’s best days. By Wednesday, a warm push of air lifts Caribou into the 80s, though patchy fog may still form early.
