Caribou and northern Maine start quiet today with increasing clouds and highs in the mid-30s. Conditions turn unsettled tonight and especially Friday as rain overspreads the area, becoming steady at times. Breezy south winds pick up Friday, with gusts strengthening late and continuing into Saturday.
Friday night into Saturday brings a transition from rain to snow, with colder air pouring in. Saturday will be blustery and colder, with gusty winds and periods of snow possible, especially later in the day and Saturday night. Sunday stays wintry with additional snow chances and highs only in the low 30s, while nights dip into the teens and single digits.
Looking ahead to the holiday, Christmas Eve on Wednesday is trending cold but quieter. Current indications suggest partly sunny skies with just a slight chance of snow and highs near 20°, making it a classic northern Maine December day — cold, but manageable for holiday travel if conditions hold.
