The new week will begin with a mix of clouds and sunshine on Monday along with areas of patchy morning fog. A few rain showers may develop during the afternoon as temperatures climb into the mid-50s. However, the weather pattern becomes increasingly uncertain from late Monday into Tuesday due to the potential development of a coastal storm.

At this time, the most likely scenario keeps the system far enough offshore to bring only scattered light rain showers, mainly across Downeast areas. There remains a possibility that the storm could track closer to the coast, which would result in steadier and heavier precipitation. In that less likely scenario, some locations could receive over an inch of rainfall, and a few colder inland areas could even see a period of wet snow Monday night into Tuesday. The risk of measurable snowfall currently remains low.

For Fort Kent and vicinity, any lingering showers Monday evening will gradually diminish overnight as skies partially clear and temperatures fall into the lower 30s. Tuesday is expected to feature a mix of sun and clouds with cool temperatures around 50 degrees, although a slight chance of lingering showers cannot be ruled out depending on the eventual storm track. Tuesday night will be partly cloudy and chilly with lows again settling into the lower 30s.

Dry weather is expected to return for Wednesday with mostly sunny skies and afternoon highs reaching the lower 50s. Wednesday night will be partly cloudy and slightly milder with lows in the mid-30s. By Thursday, temperatures will moderate further as highs climb into the upper 50s under a mix of sunshine and clouds. A slight chance of scattered rain showers returns Thursday night, although much of the night should remain partly cloudy with lows near 40 degrees.
