An occluding low pressure area will move across Maine today
into this evening and into the Maritimes overnight. The low will
gradually move northeast away from the region in the Maritimes
with high pressure building in Sunday into Monday.
Rain is expected today with between 0.75 and 1.00 inch rainfall across the area. Gusty east winds with highs in the low 50s are anticipated. Tonight, rain is likely with breezy west to northwest wind gusting 25-30 mph by early Saturday. Lows fall into the upper 30s with between 0.10 and 0.25 inch rain expected overnight.
Low pressure will continue north across the Gulf of St. Lawrence Saturday morning and into Labrador during the afternoon. The pressure gradient behind the system will produce west-northwest winds 10-15 mph with gusts 25-30 mph at times. Rain continues over the course of the day with between 0.01 and 0.09 inch rainfall expected. in Fort Kent. Highs top out in the middle 40s in Fort Kent and vicinity.
Saturday night, rain tapers to showers which end overnight as
the associated upper low moves into the North Atlantic Saturday
night into Sunday. Skies become partly cloudy with temperatures in
the lower 30s and less than 0.10 inch precipitation.West wind
around 5 mph overnight.
For Sunday, partly sunny skies with highs in the low to mid-40s
and west wind 5-6 mph. Sunday night, expect partly cloudy skies as
high pressure builds across the Valley with lows in the middle 20s
and west wind 0-7 mph.
Monday - Thursday
On Monday, a ridge of high pressure will
move in briefly before another system approaches from the
northwest. Rain is expected to move in from the west Monday
evening, though it’s uncertain how much we’ll actually get. A
low-pressure system off the Southeast coast could limit how much
moisture reaches our area.
By Tuesday morning, that system will move out, and any remaining rain should taper off to scattered showers. As colder air arrives Tuesday night, a few snow showers could mix in across the Valley.
Wednesday should bring a short break in the action as a weak ridge passes overhead. However, another stronger system is expected to approach by Wednesday night. Forecast models show a developing low pressure system moving across the state on Thursday, but there’s still a lot of uncertainty about the exact track and strength. Even so, late next week looks like it could bring another round of active weather.

Northeast Soaked Before Cooler Air Arrives
A powerful storm is sweeping across the Northeast, bringing widespread, heavy rain to New England and surrounding areas through Friday. This strong low-pressure system is near record strength for October. While flooding risk is generally low due to the ongoing drought, brief urban issues are possible, especially where fallen leaves clog street drains.
Meanwhile, the Pacific Northwest will experience heavy rain from an "atmospheric river" event through Saturday, though significant flooding is not expected. Following the storm's path, cooler air will settle over the East. Across the rest of the US, Halloween is looking clear, and warm, dry conditions are holding firm in the West and Rockies.
Thunderstorm/Severe Weather Outlook
Cool, Stable Pattern Limits Thunderstorm Potential Today: A broad upper trough east of the Rockies will keep much of the region under cool, stable conditions today. Offshore flow along the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts and a dry, continental air mass inland will prevent the development of deep convection. As a result, the environment is not favorable for thunderstorms or lightning.
