High pressure will move across the region today before shifting southeast of Maine tonight, bringing abundant sunshine, light winds, and dry weather. Afternoon temperatures will climb into the upper 70s to lower 80s, providing comfortable summer conditions. Clear skies and light winds tonight will allow temperatures to fall into the mid-50s. Patchy fog may develop late tonight and persist into early Tuesday morning, especially in the typical low-lying areas, before dissipating after sunrise.

On Tuesday, a low pressure system will move east from the Mid-Atlantic coast to a position south of Cape Cod before continuing into the Atlantic Ocean. While a few light showers could approach the Downeast coastline, high pressure is expected to keep the vast majority of Maine dry. Any rainfall that reaches the coast would be light and brief. After any morning fog clears, skies will become mostly sunny with afternoon temperatures rising into the lower 80s.

High pressure will remain in control through Wednesday, bringing another day of dry weather and abundant sunshine. Temperatures will continue to warm, reaching the upper 80s in many locations, making it the warmest day of the period. Wednesday night will become partly to mostly cloudy as a cold front begins to approach from the west, with overnight temperatures remaining mild in the lower to middle 60s.
A slow-moving cold front will gradually cross the region from Thursday into Friday, bringing the next opportunity for unsettled weather. Thursday will feature a mix of sunshine and clouds, with afternoon temperatures reaching the lower to middle 80s. There will be a chance of showers throughout the day, along with the possibility of isolated thunderstorms developing during the afternoon. While not everyone will see rainfall, any thunderstorms that do develop could produce brief heavy downpours and occasional lightning. Showers may linger into Thursday night as temperatures fall into the upper 50s to lower 60s.

The cold front will continue moving east on Friday, with a chance of lingering morning showers before conditions gradually improve during the afternoon. Skies will become partly sunny as drier air begins to move into the region, with daytime temperatures topping out in the upper 70s to around 80. By Friday night, clouds will continue to diminish as the front exits the area and a new ridge of high pressure builds in from the west. Overnight temperatures will cool into the mid-50s.

High pressure will provide pleasant weather for the first half of the weekend. Saturday will be mostly sunny and dry, with afternoon temperatures in the upper 70s to around 80 and comfortable humidity. Saturday night will be partly cloudy, with lows in the mid-50s.

On Sunday, another cold front will begin approaching from the west. Most of the day is expected to remain mostly sunny, with temperatures reaching around 80 degrees. However, there will be a slight chance of isolated showers and thunderstorms during the afternoon and continuing into Sunday night as the front draws closer. Overnight temperatures will fall into the middle 50s under partly cloudy skies.
