Good morning everyone!

The storm responsible for the rain the last two days is now moving off the Maine coast as high pressure builds from the west. We should have mostly sunny skies today with highs near normal in the low 40s.

Partly to mostly sunny skies on Sunday with highs a couple of degrees lower than today.

Dry weather to persist Monday through Wednesday with slightly below normal temperatures.

A coastal storm is expected to develop and move through our area Thursday and Friday, latest models show that the storm will track more inland so the precipitation in our area may be mostly in the form of rain with mainly snow further inland. The potential storm is still 5 days away so this forecast will likely change so keep tuned for further updates.

Cold Arctic air will be with us for the Christmas weekend but we should stay dry.
