Caribou residents should prepare for damp roads and reduced visibility Sunday morning as patchy fog and scattered showers move into northern Maine. Drivers on U.S. Route 1 and nearby county roads could face slick conditions during the morning hours.
According to the National Weather Service in Caribou, fog should clear by late morning, but rain chances linger into the afternoon with a 30 percent chance of showers. Winds will shift from the south to northwest at 5 to 8 mph, adding a fall-like chill behind the passing system.
Sunday night will bring partly cloudy skies with lows dipping into the mid-40s. Any lingering showers should taper off quickly after sunset, improving conditions for late travelers.
By Monday, sunshine returns in full, with highs near 70 and calm winds creating an ideal start to the workweek. Tuesday and Wednesday will continue the warming trend, pushing daytime highs into the mid to upper 70s under mostly sunny skies. Nights remain crisp, with lows in the mid-40s to lower 50s, a reminder that fall is firmly settling into the region.
Residents should keep an eye on changing weather conditions Sunday morning and avoid unnecessary travel until fog clears. More stable conditions are expected early next week, but another chance for showers arrives Thursday into Friday.
