June 21 at 8:30 AM EDT
☀️🌿🌻Summer Solstice occurred at 4:24 AM EDT this
morning, Sun. June 21☀️🌿🌻
Sun. June 21 – Tue. June 23
Scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected to develop again
today as cool and unstable weather remains over the region thanks to
a stalled trough aloft. Some storms may produce locally heavy
rainfall, particularly from the Central Highlands and further south
in the state. While widespread flooding is not expected, slow-moving
storms could drop moderate to heavy rain over the same location for
an extended period, leading to localized ponding of water in
low-lying or poorly drained areas.
Looking ahead, a low pressure system is expected to move through the region tomorrow night into Tuesday, bringing another round of rain. Forecast confidence is highest that Downeast areas, including the coast, will receive the most rainfall, with totals of 1 to 1.5 inches possible in some locations. There is still some uncertainty regarding the exact path of the storm, which will determine how far inland the heavier rain extends. A few isolated thunderstorms may also develop across the County and central parts of the state Monday afternoon, but severe weather is not expected at this time.

There is still some uncertainty regarding the exact path of the storm, which will determine how far inland the heavier rain extends. A few isolated thunderstorms may also develop across the County and central parts of the state Monday afternoon, but severe weather is not expected at this time.
Monday, as the aforementioned low pressure area approaches,
partly sunny to mostly cloudy skies are expected for Fort Kent and
vicinity with a 70% chance of showers and afternoon thunderstorms.
Rainfall amounts generally less than 1/10-inch, though higher local
totals are possible with any storms. High in the low 70s with
south-southeast wind 0-5 mph.
Monday night, partly-to-mostly cloudy skies with a 60% chance of
rain and isolated evening thunderstorms. Less than 1/10-inch, except
for locally higher totals possible where thunderstorms occur.
Southeast wind in the 0-5 mph range. Patchy fog is possible
overnight with a low in the middle 50s.
Tuesday remains mostly cloudy to overcast with a high in the mid-60s. Rain is likely with a 90% chance of precipitation. Additionally, isolated afternoon thunderstorms are possible. Rainfall amounts less than 1/10-inch, with storms producing locally higher totals. Southeast winds 0-5 mph in the morning shift to the north in the afternoon at 0-5 mph.
Fort Tuesday night, rain and isolated thunder is possible in the evening with a chance of isolated showers overnight along with some areas of fog. Temperatures in the lower 50s with northwest wind 0-7 mph overnight.
Wed. June 24 – Sat. June 27
Thanks to upper-level troughing over the Northeast this week,
unsettled conditions are expected though much of the period.
A weak cold front moves across the SJV Wednesday north to south with partly sunny skies and scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms, mainly in the afternoon. High in the low 70s with north wind 0-7 mph. Wednesday night, partly cloudy with a slight chance of showers. Low in the low 50s. North wind 0-7 mph.
The weak cold front slowly moves south through Maine Thursday.
Sunny to partly sunny skies are expected with a 50% chance of
showers, especially in the afternoon, along with a chance of
isolated thunderstorms. High in the middle 70s with light south
winds. Thursday night, partly-to-mostly cloudy skies with
temperatures in the lower 50s and a 50% chance of showers for Fort
Kent and vicinity. Southeast wind 0-7 mph.
Low pressure and a trailing cold front approaches from the Great
Lakes Friday. Mostly cloudy skies
with an 80% chance of showers and isolated thunderstorms. High
in the low 70s with south wind 0-7 mph. Friday night, showers and
isolated thunderstorms remain possible with a 70% chance of
precipitation as the front tracks in from the west. Temperatures in
the lower 50s. South wind 0-7 mph.
The front moves through the Valley Saturday with mostly cloudy skies and an 80% chance of showers and scattered afternoon thunderstorms. High in the low 70s. West winds 0-7 mph. Saturday night, showers and thunderstorms in the evening with scattered showers overnight and chances of precipitation falling to 40%. Low in the lower 50s with northwest wind 0-7 mph.
Further ahead, climate trends for June 28–July 4 feature slightly
above normal temperatures and slightly above normal precipitation
for Fort Kent and the Saint John Valley of Maine.

Severe
Storms, Flash Flooding, and Summer Heat
Impact Large Areas of the United States
A powerful weather system moving across the Plains is expected to bring dangerous thunderstorms, flash flooding, and severe weather to parts of the Central and Eastern United States today and into early next week. Areas from the Plains and Midwest to the Ohio Valley face the greatest risk for heavy rainfall that could quickly lead to flooding, especially where soils are already saturated. Some storms may also produce large hail, damaging winds, and a few tornadoes. On Sunday, the threat for scattered flash flooding and severe thunderstorms will expand across a broad area from the Northeast to the Northern High Plains. Along the Gulf Coast and Southeast, additional localized flooding is possible. Meanwhile, hot and humid conditions will continue across the Southeast, while cooler air brings more comfortable temperatures to northern states.

Dangerous
Severe Weather Threat Today
Across the Plains, Ozarks, and
Ohio Valley
Severe thunderstorms are expected to develop across parts of the Central and Southern Plains, Ozarks, and Ohio Valley this afternoon and tonight, bringing the potential for dangerous weather. Communities from Kansas and Oklahoma eastward through Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, and surrounding areas could experience large to very large hail, damaging wind gusts, and tornadoes. Forecasters are especially concerned about portions of Missouri, Illinois, and Indiana, where a few strong tornadoes may be possible during the afternoon and early evening. Additional powerful storms are expected across the High Plains, including parts of Colorado, Wyoming, Nebraska, and Kansas. Some storms may organize into larger complexes overnight, producing widespread strong winds. Residents in affected areas should closely monitor forecasts and be prepared to act quickly if warnings are issued.

Significant
Flash Flood Threat Across the
Midwest and Central Plains
Today
A heightened risk of
dangerous flash flooding is
expected today across portions
of the Central Plains, Middle
Mississippi Valley, and Ohio
Valley as multiple rounds of
heavy thunderstorms move through
the region. The greatest concern
extends from northern Missouri
through central Illinois and
Indiana, where saturated soils,
swollen rivers, and intense
rainfall could quickly lead to
flooding of roads, low-lying
areas, and streams. Some
locations may receive several
inches of rain in just a few
hours, with repeated storms
increasing the risk of
significant flooding impacts.
Additional areas of concern
include southeastern Kansas and
southwestern Missouri, where
heavy rain may fall over already
wet ground. Isolated to
scattered flash flooding is also
possible along parts of the
Texas and Louisiana Gulf Coast
and across portions of the
central Gulf Coast states today.

Dry,
Windy Conditions Increase
Wildfire Risk Across the
Southwest and Idaho
Elevated wildfire danger is expected today across parts of the Southwest and southern Idaho as dry air, gusty winds, and very low humidity combine to create favorable conditions for fire growth. From eastern Arizona into central New Mexico, dry westerly winds of 15 to 20 miles per hour and humidity levels as low as 5 to 15 percent will dry out vegetation and make it easier for fires to start and spread. Similar conditions are expected in southern Idaho, particularly across the Snake River Plain, where low humidity, dry fuels, and steady winds will increase fire concerns during the warmest part of the day. Residents and visitors should use caution with any activities that could create sparks or open flames, as fires may spread quickly under these conditions.

Radar apps visualize precipitation intensity using color-coded echoes. However, updates are not instant, and even the most advanced composite radar mosaics can be delayed by 5 to 20 minutes by the time they reach your app.That delay means the weather you are viewing might already be miles away — or more intense than the image suggests.
