Caribou, Maine – Sunshine holds across northern Maine today before a cold front sweeps through Thursday, bringing cooler temperatures and gusty winds across much of the state. Drivers and boaters should brace for breezy conditions, especially along the coast and inland lakes.
According to the National Weather Service in Caribou, skies remain mostly clear in the north Wednesday, while Downeast stays cloudy with a slight chance of light rain near the shoreline. Overnight lows will dip into the 40s, with patchy river valley fog possible. Daytime highs reach the 70s in Bangor and coastal areas, while northern towns like Frenchville and Caribou top out in the 60s.
By Thursday, the passing cold front will send winds gusting between 20 and 30 mph from Bangor north through Presque Isle, making travel more difficult for high-profile vehicles and reducing visibility for boaters. Temperatures will fall slightly, with highs in the 60s across Aroostook County and 70s Downeast.
Conditions improve heading into Friday with clearer skies, though the next chance of rain arrives late this weekend.
