From the TV5 Forecast Center:

High pressure will begin to depart to our east during the day today. In the wake of this system, a cold front off to our west will begin to approach. Expect skies to average partly sunny throughout the day thanks to a cool pool of air remaining in place aloft. A few isolated showers are possible throughout the day from this upper-level disturbance, though most places should stay dry. Highs will range from 55-65°, with the coolest conditions expect along the coast thanks to an onshore breeze. By tonight, skies will become cloudy thanks to the cold front just off to our west. Showers are expected to develop after midnight, with some showers possibly heavy at times. Lows will be between 43-50°.

We’ll start the work week off on a dreary note as cloudy skies and showers continue. A low pressure system and attached cold front will push eastward through Maine during the day on Monday. Steadier showers are likely Monday morning before becoming more scattered during the afternoon. Highs will be kept on the cool side thanks to the clouds and showers, with many places likely seeing upper 50s to mid-60s on thermometers. Showers will taper off on the backside of the cold front by Monday night.

Some uncertainty exists with the forecast for Tuesday and Wednesday. Some computer models show a cloudier and wetter solution, while others show high pressure building in from our northwest, providing for a brighter and drier solution. It looks like the high pressure system may prevail so we’ll call Tuesday a variably cloudy day with a few scattered showers possible, especially in southern Maine. More clouds increase on Wednesday thanks to a disturbance pushing northward through New England. This storm will likely bring late-day showers on Wednesday and Wednesday night. Showers are likely to continue under mostly cloudy skies during the day on Thursday as well.


Today: Partly sunny & cool. Highs between 55-65° (coolest coast).

Tonight: Cloudy with showers developing after midnight. Lows between 43-50°.

Monday: Cloudy & cool with showers likely. Highs in the upper 50s to mid-60s.

Tuesday: Variably cloudy with the chance for a few scattered showers. Highs in the 60s.

Wednesday: Increasing clouds with a few late-day showers possible. Highs in the 60s.

Thursday: Mostly cloudy with showers likely. Highs in the 60s.
