Very warm and muggy today with highs in the upper 80s. A cold front moves in tonight with steady rain and some rumbles of thunder late this evening through early Thurs. A shower may linger on Thursday, but overall it looks nice and sunny! Dry air Thursday night drops temps into the 40s or low 50s for a very refreshing start Friday! #mewx
Some showers have developed this morning, don't be surprised to see a brief burst of rain through the early afternoon. Looks like shower chances diminish heading through the afternoon. #mewx
Good morning!! Hopefully youβre not waking up to any storm damage this morning, those storms were potent yesterday afternoon with lots of damage and outages. If you have any damage or lightning pics from yesterday post them below! Hereβs a look at the storms as they rolled into downtown Portland yesterday afternoon, breaking the heat wave. #mewx
Tracking more extreme heat and severe storms this evening
Meteorologist Christian Bridges has an update on the last day of the heat wave, and the threat for severe weather this afternoon.
Extremely hot and humid for today and quiet until mid afternoon when storms start developing. Storms push through this evening with nicer weather tomorrow, much cooler near 80 with lower humidity and some afternoon sun. Unfortunately Saturday looks quite cool and wet. #mewx
Clouds and some showers keeping things in check for now in Maine, but we are clearing and destabilizing to the west with some storms popping up in northern NH and Quebec. Severe threat really ramps up when the clearing arrives in the next few hours. #mewx
Here's a look at how the afternoon will play out. Storms develop in the foothills around 1-2pm, gradually moving towards the coast as we head into the evening. Damaging winds and hail are the main threats with storms wrapping up tonight, much nicer tomorrow! #mewx
Good morning! A quiet start to the day with plenty of sun, temps are cool in the low 50s. A few showers are moving through the mountains and we all see the chance of one later today, but it will be much drier than the weekend! #mewx
Still hanging on to a little sun out there, but clouds and fog are moving in from the south. It looks to get cooler with more clouds later this morning. #mewx
Storms develop early afternoon today and push towards the coast. After today, sun will be hard to come by the rest of the work week. 60s, drizzle, low clouds, and showers are expected for Thursday and Friday, likely wettest Thursday afternoon. Improvements for the weekend! #mewx
Timelapse of the #aurora over Mt. Katahdin overnight!!! Absolutely beautiful views ππ #mewx
Good morning, happy Friday eve! A cooler and mainly cloudy day ahead, though many of us are waking up to a nice sunrise. Rain likely stays away for the most part today with only a slight chance for a few showers in southern Maine. #mewx
Here comes the sun, Maine! Western Maine clearing out now with the rest of us to follow suit this morning. Once the sun is out we rapidly warm into the 70s and 80s. #mewx
Here's a look at how the rest of the day will play out. Mostly quiet until the early afternoon when scattered storms develop. Storms then consolidate into a line that sweeps across the area with a damaging wind and hail threat. Should be clear by 6pm or so. #mewx
See ya, low clouds. Fog and low clouds cover continues to dissipate across the state, should be mostly sunny in many areas within the next hour or 2. Once the sun comes out, temps will skyrocket! #mewx
Good morning! A weak Nor'easter is sitting offshore southern New England, and it's bringing some light rain to far southern Maine. A few sprinkles or showers are possible through the morning in the far southern part of the state, but otherwise expect a cloudy and mild day. #mewx
Good morning! Some showers are moving through to start off our Tuesday, but they should be out of our hair pretty quickly. Overall, a pretty nice and warm day ahead with a mix of sun and clouds, though there are some more scattered storm chances this afternoon. #mewx
Friday Favorites!
We are sharing our favorite stories of the week and gearing up for the Kentucky Derby, Cinco De Mayo, and much more this weekend!
Seems like the foothills and mountains have been lightning central this week, and that continues this morning. Lots of strikes with these storms moving into western Maine, get ready to head indoors as these roll through! #mewx
Good morning, happy Friday eve! Wish I had a more positive forecast to bring us, unfortunately though we are stuck with cool temps and wet weather again today. Rain and some thunderstorms are moving in, likely wet ~7am-11am, drier towards midday. #mewx
