Caribou, ME – Northern Maine residents woke up to patchy frost the last two mornings, but forecasters say the region will see warmer nights in the days ahead.
According to the National Weather Service in Caribou, temperatures fell into the low- to mid-30s across much of northern Maine Thursday and Friday nights, with some areas dipping into the upper 20s. These chilly conditions brought scattered frost, particularly in low-lying valleys and open fields.
Maps released by the weather office Saturday show observed lows of 28 degrees in Estcourt Station, 35 degrees in Clayton Lake, and 37 degrees in Houlton. Farther south, lows were milder, staying in the 40s and 50s near Bangor, Portland, and the coast.
Meteorologists said frost is unlikely for the next several nights, with temperatures expected to stay above freezing across most of the state. The next chance for frost may not arrive until late next weekend, depending on cloud cover and wind conditions.
Residents are encouraged to continue monitoring forecasts, especially gardeners and farmers who may be concerned about early frost damage.
