Caribou, Maine – Patchy fog and low clouds are slowing down the start to Sunday across Maine, with drivers and early risers seeing limited visibility from Downeast to the north. Some inland areas will catch a break as sunshine returns around midday, while Downeast may hold onto clouds into the afternoon. High temperatures will stretch from the low 70s Downeast to the low 80s in the north, and a few spots in the northwest could see an isolated shower or thunderstorm later today.
According to the National Weather Service in Caribou, low clouds and fog will redevelop tonight, with the waning gibbous moon rising at 10:15 p.m. Temperatures will dip into the upper 50s Downeast and into the low to mid-60s north of Bangor. The next weather-maker—a weak front—arrives Monday, bringing a round of showers and thunderstorms for northern and western Maine, especially from Fort Kent to Jackman. Inland highs Monday will reach the mid to upper 70s.
For most of the state, sunshine and summer heat return midweek, with dry weather expected Tuesday and Wednesday.
Residents are urged to use caution while traveling this morning and overnight, as patchy fog could make for slick or reduced visibility on highways including I-95, Route 1, and U.S. 2.
Another cold front will push into the region Thursday, bringing a renewed risk for showers and thunderstorms to end the workweek. More updates will follow as new advisories are issued.
