PORTLAND, Maine — Friday will pick up exactly where Thursday left off with pleasant temperatures and low humidity levels.
Enjoy the quiet day ahead while it lasts as we are tracking a wet and cool start to the weekend.
Temperatures will run into the 70s once again around the state.
In central Maine, it will be a tad bit warmer in the mid-to-upper 70s.
Out on the water Friday morning, waves will be calm at around 2 feet. Visibility will not be an issue.
It will be cooler at the beaches to end the week. Don’t let the conditions deceive you though, as the UV index is very high at a 9.
Much of the day will be spent in the sun before clouds filter in late in the evening.
Rain showers may begin to develop across the north into the mountains. To start the weekend, there will be some periods of rain throughout Saturday, with some downpours possible.
We’ll see the steadiest of the rain in the morning, before it turns to scattered cloudy skies in the afternoon. By Saturday evening, most of the rain will have tapered off.
The mountains will see the most rainfall, upwards of an inch and maybe more.
Sunshine reappears by Sunday with warmer temperatures near 80 degrees. There is a possibility of a stray shower to end the weekend, but mostly dry conditions are expected.
You’ll also notice the humidity rising through the weekend. Dew points will be on the rise through early next week, becoming very oppressive by Tuesday.
Those are similar dew points to what we experienced earlier this week. Conditions will likely stay dry on Monday, but a line of showers and storms will appearTuesday.
