Bangor, Maine – Drivers and residents across Maine should prepare for scattered showers near Bangor and Downeast through early this evening, with patchy fog expected south of Katahdin late tonight as cooler air settles in.
According to the National Weather Service in Caribou, Wednesday will be mostly dry for much of the state, though isolated showers may develop near Moosehead Lake and Baxter State Park by afternoon. By Wednesday night, showers could move in west of Katahdin, especially for inland communities.
A cold front sweeping across Maine Thursday will trigger showers along and north of the I-95 corridor in the afternoon, while southern and eastern areas could see lighter, spotty rainfall. Showers and isolated thunderstorms are likely to persist from Thursday night into Friday, mainly north of Bangor and in the Crown of Maine. Thunderstorms may bring brief downpours and gusty winds Friday afternoon.
Travelers along I-95, local routes near Baxter State Park, and those living in the Crown of Maine should stay alert for wet roads, lower visibility from fog, and possible isolated thunderstorms through Friday. The National Weather Service advises residents to limit travel during heavy rain, charge devices in case of power outages, and stay tuned to local alerts.
Mainly dry, comfortable weather returns for the weekend, though the risk of an isolated afternoon shower or thunderstorm in the Crown of Maine remains both Saturday and Sunday. Additional weather advisories may be issued if conditions change.
