NWS Caribou Continues Frost/Freeze Program Improvements for 2025

Dry Weather into Monday then Little Drought Relief

Mainly dry weather through Monday with reinforcing high pressure working into the area. High pressure is going to keep the coastal low mainly away from us. Expect high surf and rip currents on Monday - Tuesday as the storm passes well south of Maine. Please stay off the rock outcroppings and shoreline so you don't get swept out into the water. Very little to no drought relief expected next week with some showers through late week. Could we be talking about some snowflakes mixing in? Possible late Wednesday night into early Thursday AM for locations in the North Woods as a upper level low moves overhead with colder air. Latest forecast: www.weather.gov/car
