Caribou, Maine –Isolated thunderstorms will sweep across northern Maine early Tuesday, bringing a risk of gusty winds and wet roads before a round of cooler, drier air settles in later this week.
According to the National Weather Service in Caribou, a weather disturbance is moving through northern counties this morning, delivering spotty showers and isolated thunderstorms. Highs today will range from near 80 in the north to the upper 80s across the interior south, with partly to mostly sunny skies elsewhere.
Drivers along Route 1 and Route 11 from Fort Kent to Houlton may encounter sudden downpours or brief wind gusts, especially through midday. Tonight, skies turn partly cloudy as temperatures drop to the upper 50s north and low 60s south, with the crescent moon setting just after 10 p.m.
By Wednesday, a cold front pushes across the region, increasing the threat for scattered thunderstorms, especially north of Bangor and in Aroostook County. Isolated gusty winds could accompany any storm, but overall severe weather risk remains low. Highs will dip to the mid 70s north and low 80s south. Residents are urged to secure outdoor items, monitor for local alerts, and avoid unnecessary travel during storms.
Thursday and Friday bring a taste of fall: sunshine, cooler air, and highs in the low to mid 70s across much of Maine. The weekend looks dry with gradual warming—an ideal setup for outdoor plans and summer events.
More updates will be issued if storm chances increase. Warnings remain possible through Wednesday evening, so stay weather-aware for the latest advisories.
