Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Northern and Eastern Maine
National Weather Service Caribou ME
314 PM EDT Sat Jun 7 2025

.DISCUSSION...
Showers will continue in central and southern Maine this
afternoon, with thunderstorms possible this afternoon. Any
thunderstorms could produce locally heavy downpours. Further
north, showers and a few thunderstorms are possible, but will not
be as widespread. Rainfall through this evening will average a
quarter to a half inch over the north and along the coast with
around an inch possible from the southern highlands across parts
of south central areas. Sunday will be mostly sunny with light
winds as high pressure returns. Unsettled weather is expected
early to mid week next week as a trough of low pressure sets up to
our west and waves of low pressure circulate into the northeast
around the trough.
