...Heat and Humidity Continue Friday, Not as Hot July 4, Storms Possible... * Record-level heat and humidity continues into Friday with little change. Temperatures will be hottest Friday in the Bangor Region and Downeast. July 4th will still be on the warmer side but Sunday will turn cooler. * How about rain/storm chances? So far, we have dodged the bullet. Strong/severe storms have passed to the north and southwest of our area, while we have been quiet. The air over the region is potentially extremely unstable, but we have lacked the trigger to ignite strong/severe storms. That said, we are keeping a close eye on things, as there's around a 20 percent chance of storms, and if any do form, they could be severe. A few storms are possible late Friday and again on Saturday, but chances are generally 40 percent or less.
