PRESQUE ISLE, Maine (WAGM) - Good evening everyone and happy Monday. We've seen a decent day across the region today with more sunshine seen. Changes are likely heading into tomorrow, as low pressure and additional energy once again try to build overhead. We've got the potential to see some fog overnight tonight. The latest computer model runs show that fog taking over the majority of the county, with air temperatures closely following dew point temperatures overnight into the start of tomorrow. This is the ideal conditions for fog to develop, with some patches of fog reducing visibility and leaving us with travel concerns. I don't necessarily expect widespread dense fog, but do expect to encounter some pockets, especially if your drive is on the longer side.

PRESQUE ISLE, Maine (WAGM) - Good evening everyone and happy Tuesday. We've seen an okay day across the region today with some sunshine, followed by cloud cover and popup showers during the afternoon. Skies are clearing out tonight, with patchy fog possible as temperatures fall back close to the dew points. This sets us up for a better looking day for tomorrow, with more sunshine in the forecast. Temperatures will have no problem rebounding with the sunshine, as highs are expected to climb into the upper 70s. I wouldn't be surprised if southern Aroostook County reaches the lower 80s, but that will be the exception the forecast heading into tomorrow. Westerly winds remain light over the course of the day, not having much of an influence on the region overall.

PRESQUE ISLE, Maine (WAGM) - Good evening everyone and happy Wednesday. After a decent day weather-wise today, with a few fair weather clouds building in for the afternoon hours, more nice weather is expected tomorrow, with high pressure still working overhead. It will continue to pass to the east of the state during the day tomorrow, allowing for cloud cover to build in behind it. High temperatures tomorrow will have no problem warming up with the sunshine that's expected. Highs by the afternoon hours are looking to climb into the upper 70s and lower 80s. Southerly winds pick up slightly during the daytime hours tomorrow, but it's nothing to be concerned with, more an additional influence to drive warmer air into the region.

PRESQUE ISLE, Maine (WAGM) - Good evening everyone and happy Thursday. After more sunshine was seen across the region today, cloud cover began to advance in ahead of our next area of low pressure. This will result in unsettled weather for the middle of the day tomorrow, with popup showers and thunderstorms possible. The Crown of Maine Balloon Fest begins tomorrow morning, and wind gusts right now are expected to be closer to the breezier side of things. While the midday hours bring showers and thunderstorms, I'm hopeful we'll see things clear back out, leaving us with nicer weather heading into the evening. We've got sunshine in store for the start of the weekend with high pressure taking control once again, so we'll likely have some wonderful weather for launches heading into the first half of the weekend.

PRESQUE ISLE, Maine (WAGM) - Good evening everyone and happy Friday. We've seen a gloomier end to the work week with more cloud cover overhead. This was thanks to an area of low pressure building over the state, and dragging a cold front through the region Friday night. Skies are expected to clear out overnight, leaving us with plenty of sunshine for the daytime hours Saturday. This is great news for the Crown of Maine Balloon Festival, as conditions are looking prime for a good launch Saturday morning. We've got some breezy weather during the daytime hours of Saturday, which could cause some concerns for the evening launch. I'm hopeful Sunday morning is decent enough for another launch, with Sunday afternoon and evening bringing the threat for showers and thunderstorms once again.

PRESQUE ISLE, Maine (WAGM) - Good evening everyone and happy Labor Day. I hope you were able to get outside and enjoy some of the nice weather we had today, as changes are likely here as the week goes on. The rest of tonight remains quiet, even with a cold front passing through the region. Cloud cover builds, bringing with it an isolated shower chance, but at this point in time no major activity is expected overnight, with skies clearing out by sunrise tomorrow morning. Low temperatures tonight look to bottom out in the upper 40s and lower 50s, warmer than what we saw last night into this morning by a few degrees.

PRESQUE ISLE, Maine (WAGM) - Good evening everyone and happy Tuesday. After a wonderful day weather-wise today, with plenty of sunshine seen across the region, changes are expected over the next couple of days as our next system approaches from the west. Expect cloud cover to build in heading into tomorrow, followed by showers taking over late tomorrow night. As soon as showers arrive, they quickly wrap up, leaving us with some sunny breaks possible heading into Thursday. Tonight brings concerning temperatures, as clear skies and light winds provide the perfect combination for radiational cooling. Low temperatures tonight look to fall back into the 30s for the entire county, but a range in 30 degree readings are likely. Some towns luck out, and only manage to fall back into the upper 30s, while other towns are able to cool off further, approaching the lower to mid 40s.

PRESQUE ISLE, Maine (WAGM) - Good evening everyone and happy Wednesday. After a gloomier day was seen once again today, with more cloud cover present as low pressure approaches the state, most communities have remained dry during the daytime hours. Showers look to build into the region late tonight, with activity likely centered just after midnight into the early morning hours of Thursday. Showers are done by the time the sun rises Thursday, with a mixture of sunshine and clouds likely throughout the day. Nicer weather is expected to return for the end of the work week, with more sunshine likely for Friday.

PRESQUE ISLE, Maine (WAGM) - Good evening everyone and happy Thursday. After more or less a transition day today, with sunshine helping to warm temperatures in the morning. The afternoon hours featured some cloud cover and popup showers for some towns. Skies are expected to clear out later tonight, with high pressure taking control for the end of the work week. This results in a nicer day on the way for Friday, with plenty of sunshine seen across the region. Temperatures will leave a lot to be desired on Friday, with highs only making it into the lower to mid 60s. Westerly winds are expected to be gusty once again tomorrow, very similar to what we saw today. The strongest of gusts likely occur during the afternoon hours, with gusts between 30 and 35 miles per hour possible.

PRESQUE ISLE, Maine (WAGM) - Good evening everyone on this Friday. We've seen a decent day weather-wise today, with a mixture of sunshine and clouds across the region. Clearing skies are anticipated tonight, resulting in lows falling back into the lower to mid 30s for most towns. With the threat of another freeze possible tonight, the National Weather Service has issued a Frost Advisory for all of Aroostook County heading into tomorrow morning. While computer model runs have been consistently keeping temperatures in the mid 30s for overnight low temperatures, model runs did this a few days ago now, and we ended up with our first frost of the season for some towns. I think this approach to the forecast is the right call, so make sure to cover any sensitive plants if you'd like them to last the night. The good news is after tonight, low temperatures look to remain milder, with the threat of frost likely not returning until the new work week.
