Caribou, Maine – Periods of rain and chilly air will keep most of Maine bundled up Sunday, with highs stuck in the low to mid-40s from Bangor to Caribou and only a few southern towns nearing 50 degrees. Showers are expected to linger into the evening, especially across central and northern counties.
According to the National Weather Service in Caribou, rain will gradually taper off tonight as temperatures drop to around 40°F. Monday brings a quick turnaround: sunshine will break through statewide, sending afternoon highs into the low to mid-60s—almost a 20-degree jump for many communities. Residents in Houlton, Lincoln, and Millinocket can expect drier weather and warmer conditions to start the workweek.
Drivers on I-95 and US Route 1 should watch for slick spots during Sunday’s showers. Outdoor plans can resume Monday and Tuesday as conditions improve, though a strong cold front is expected to push across Maine early Wednesday morning. Gusty northwest winds could reach up to 45 mph, especially in exposed areas, so secure outdoor items and use caution if traveling.
Rain exits tonight, but warnings remain for gusty winds and falling temperatures by midweek. Stay tuned for additional advisories from the National Weather Service.
