Good morning! Low pressure system moves eastward, with an associated cold front passing through Maine today. Favorable instability and moisture lead to rain showers and thunderstorms throughout the forecast region. Northern Maine may hear some thunder rumbles, but the best chances for thunderstorms will be in central and Downeast Maine today. Could be some periods of heavy rainfall and gusty winds, which could result in local flooding in urban or poor drainage areas. Please remember flood and lightning safety, and make sure to have multiple ways to get weather alerts. Tonight, cold front leaves Maine and high pressure from the west moves eastward. Skies clear out and overnight lows fall into the 50s. High pressure stays over the area Saturday, with clear skies, dry conditions, and temperatures in the upper-70s to low-80s.
