Unsettled weather will continue into next week

BANGOR, Maine (WABI) - Showers shut off across northern Maine earlier this afternoon as moisture pivoted southward. The low-pressure system over the Atlantic will slowly nudge northward towards southern Nova Scotia tonight. Scattered showers and light rain will continue to impact areas through the Bangor region and Downeast coastline tonight. Showers will push in from southeast to northwest overnight. Overnight lows drop into the low to mid 40′s and winds will be gusting out of the NNE up to 20 mph.

Scattered showers and light rain push into northern areas overnight and persist through Monday morning and afternoon. The surface low pressure will continue to nudge into the Gulf of Maine Monday morning as another upper-level-low pressure system will dive down from the north and pull it even closer to the region. As a band of light showers push through northern Maine in the morning and afternoon, locations through the Bangor region and Downeast enter a bit of a lull. However, its likely to remain mostly cloudy and damp with some patchy drizzle possible Monday afternoon into the evening. As the upper level-low continues to capture the surface low pressure system, scattered showers will fill in the region from east to west Monday night into Tuesday. The upper-level-low and surface low will become stacked on top of each other and sit and spin over the region by Tuesday evening. Showers will start to stream in from the north as moisture wraps in around the top of the system. The stacked area of low pressure will continue to provide unsettled weather through the end of the work week with daily chances for scattered showers. The good news is, temperatures do gradually warm into the upper 50′s and lower 60′s by Thursday and Friday.

TONIGHT: Scattered showers continue as moisture streams in from southeast to northwest. Lows drop into the low to mid 40′s. Winds gust out of the NNE up to 20 mph.

MONDAY: Mostly cloudy with more scattered showers north and drizzle through the Bangor region and Downeast. Highs reach the mid to upper 50′s.

TUESDAY: Scattered showers likely. Highs in the mid to upper 50′s.
