Clouds increase overnight, leading to a cloudy start to the work week

BANGOR, Maine (WABI) - Our evening ends with sunshine. However, tonight, clouds increase and overnight low temperatures drop into the upper teens and 20′s. Winds will be out of the WSW at around 5-10 mph, then, turn northeasterly overnight into Monday.

There will be mostly cloudy skies on Monday as the storm passes to our south. High temperatures on Monday only make it into the upper 20′s north and low to mid 30′s DownEast. Winds will be out of the NE at around 5-10 mph. A shortwave trough moves in from the northwest late Monday night into early Tuesday morning. That trough brings the chance for some scattered light snow showers early Tuesday morning. Accumulations will be light, only expect a coating – 2″. After the snow showers dissipate, clouds decrease through the day becoming partly cloudy Tuesday evening. A low-pressure system moving over the Great Lakes region will send a warm front through the state Wednesday evening. The warm front will not only bring warmer temperatures to end the week, but also the chance for some isolated rain showers south and isolated snow/rain showers north Wednesday evening. Temperatures warm up for the end of the week, topping out in the 40′s and 50′s by Thursday and Friday. A stronger low pressure system cuts over the Great lakes region once more, sending in both a warm front early Friday morning followed by a strong cold front in the afternoon. This will cause some widespread rain showers Friday. After that cold front swings through Friday afternoon, cold air follows in behind, dropping temperatures into the teen Friday night. An rain water and snow melt left on the road and sidewalks will likely freeze up. High temperatures only warm into the 20′s for Saturday.
