This has been one of the warmest summers on record through most of the northeast. The trend continues as we push into the middle of August.
The Maine Forecast
Isaias heads for Maine with heavy rain, gusty winds
Tropical downpours are expected locally and there could also be some stronger wind gusts late Tuesday or early Wednesday.
More heat to start the week, thunderstorms expected Tuesday
Monday will be in the running for the hottest day of the year, especially across southwestern Maine. A cold front on Tuesday will push some thunderstorms through, with more unsettled weather after that. Friday brings on the clearing trend.
Brace for strong to severe thunderstorms in Maine
Torrential rain is expected and the storms could bring strong wind gusts and hail.
Storms expected Monday afternoon, cooler and unsettled midweek
After a rogue tornado on Saturday and highs near 90 Sunday, the topsy-turvy weather pattern as of late throws us another curveball: highs in the 60s Tuesday with rain.
Strong thunderstorms expected in Maine this afternoon, evening
These storms will produce lightning, heavy downpours, and occasional strong to severe wind gusts.
Some sun, some storms, some humidity and a big warm-up
Lots of weather this week and no two days will be the same. Everything from dry, sunny days in the 70s to humid and in the 90s is on the table.
Humid to start the week, storm chances increase on Wednesday
After the abnormally hot and rain-free stretch, we get relief in the form of less humidity and widespread showers. It takes a few days to get there, though.
Sunny start this week, becoming more active by the weekend
The week starts off really nice with a ton of sunshine. Wednesday looks cloudy and cool, only to be followed up by some humidity and a few thunderstorms on Thursday. The weekend could be a bit unsettled, too.
Chilly start to the week, back to summer by Friday
May is leaving us with a brief reminder of how we started the month: chilly and breezy. Temperatures return to normal as soon as Wednesday, with isolated 80s possible for Friday.
