Summer Feel This Holiday Weekend

BANGOR, Maine (WABI) - Low pressure continues to slide to our east as high pressure builds in from the west. Partly cloudy skies remain over parts of central & eastern Maine, but the cloud cover will be clearing out overnight. Lows will range from the upper 30s to the mid 40s.

High pressure will remain parked over the Great Lakes on Friday and through the weekend. This will help to keep us free and clear of any rainfall chances.

Memorial Day Weekend still looks fantastic as a combination of the high to our west and an upper-level ridge will provide us with lots of sunshine and well above normal temperatures. Saturday will have highs in the 70s with a few inland areas getting close to 80°. Sunday is expected to be the warmest day as temperatures will range from the upper 70s to the upper 80s. There is a disturbance passing to our north on Sunday; this will produce a tighter pressure gradient causing westerly winds to gust up to 30-35 mph. A dry cold front will pass Sunday night into early Monday. This will knock down our temperatures for Memorial Day, but we are still expecting highs in the 60s & 70s.

Tuesday will be a continuation of Monday as highs will be in the 60s & 70s. Widespread 70s & 80s return by the middle of next week. A disturbance by Thursday afternoon will bring a chance for showers & thunderstorms.
