Warming Trend Through This Weekend

Maine Flood Preparedness Week

Good Morning! A dry day is on tap for today. While temperatures will be milder than yesterday, they will still be seasonably cold for this time of year. Temperatures warm above normal for Friday, with most places seeing highs in the 40s. High temperatures on Saturday will be in the upper 40s to lower 50s. Both days will be dry, though there could be some fog at night. The warmest upcoming day will be Sunday, and rain is expected Sunday into Monday. This will lead to significant snowmelt across the region. In addition, ice movement will be possible on area rivers, which could even lead to some ice jams.
