Severe Threat Has Ended Tonight. More Severe Weather Sunday

BANGOR, Maine (WABI) - Storms continue to weaken as the move into a more stable airmass over parts of central & eastern Maine. The severe weather threat for tonight has come to an end. A few scattered showers & storms will be possible, but overall partly to mostly cloudy skies tonight with the potential for areas of fog. Lows will be in the 40s over Downeast Maine and 50s for everyone else.

Another round of storms will push through the state on Sunday as the cold front stalled to our west drops through the region. There will be the threat of severe storms and with this round, the coast will be included in that potential. Southerly winds will once again keep conditions cooler along the coast. Temperatures will be a few degrees warmer on Sunday and the humidity will increase. These conditions will increase instability inland so severe thunderstorms are likely as the cold from pushes through. The storms with the greatest severe potential are expected across western Maine. The main hazards with any storms that develop will be large hail, damaging winds, and heavy downpours. However, an isolated tornado can’t be ruled out. Storms will decrease in severity the closer they get to the coastline. Storms will begin to develop across western Maine around noon and move east through the afternoon and evening. Storms will quickly die down after sunset.

High pressure will move in on Monday. Partly cloudy conditions are expected with seasonable temperatures. This system will stick around through Tuesday. Similar temperatures are expected, but there will be a little more sunshine. A wetter pattern will return for the end of the week.
