Cooler temperatures and plenty of sunshine for Memorial Day

BANGOR, Maine (WABI) - It was an absolutely gorgeous day today with sunshine and summer-like temperatures. Some spots like Bangor even reached the 90° mark. However, a dry cold front will continue to push through this evening. As it pushes southward expect winds to gust up to 35 mph with some patchy clouds and even a sprinkle possible. Other than the front, expect lots of sunshine for the rest of the evening! Its a great night if your heading out to the water front for the concert, expect partly cloudy to mostly clear skies. Winds will turn out of the north behind the cold front and lows drop into the 40′s north to low 50′s Downeast.
