Caribou, Maine – A stretch of warm, sunny days is unfolding across northern and eastern Maine, with early morning fog and low clouds lingering Downeast and through the Penobscot Valley on Saturday. Highs will climb into the low 70s near Bangor and upper 70s to low 80s from Presque Isle north to Caribou, inviting outdoor plans this weekend.
According to the National Weather Service in Caribou, patchy fog and cloud cover will gradually mix out by midday Saturday, giving way to mostly sunny skies for much of the region. Tonight, skies stay partly cloudy in the north and mostly cloudy Downeast, with lows dipping to the upper 50s along the coast and the low 60s north.
On Sunday, expect another round of low clouds and fog in the morning, but by noon, most areas will turn sunny with highs similar to Saturday—reaching the low 70s Downeast and low 80s in the north. Be ready for changing conditions Monday as a frontal system brings showers and isolated thunderstorms, especially across northern and western counties. Rainfall could reach a quarter-inch in spots, with the highest totals north of Route 11.
Drivers should watch for patchy fog early each day and wet roads Monday afternoon. If you’re headed outdoors, plan for sun protection this weekend and keep an umbrella handy for Monday. Power outages and flooding are unlikely, but keep devices charged and monitor local alerts for updates.
The warm, dry trend returns Tuesday and Wednesday, with high temperatures rising into the upper 80s across the interior. Additional advisories may be issued if thunderstorms intensify Monday.
