PRESQUE ISLE, Maine (WAGM) - Good evening everyone and happy Friday. After another somewhat gloomy day across the region today, nicer weather is expected to build in heading into the weekend. High pressure takes control of the region tomorrow, resulting in a wonderful day Saturday. Sunday will be a different story, with cloud cover expected for the morning hours. The afternoon will likely feature some sunshine, but that ultimately adds instability to the atmosphere, resulting in showers and thunderstorms arriving for some late in the day. I think most towns stay dry until the new work week, with our next area of low pressure bringing steadier rain showers in for Monday.

Skies clear out late tonight, setting us up for nicer weather in store for Tuesday. Humidity is expected to briefly break tomorrow, before dew points rise once again heading into Wednesday. With another day of full sunshine in store, temperatures will have no problem heating up into the mid to upper 80s. We remain mild heading into Thursday, with changes not expected until the end of the work week.

PRESQUE ISLE, Maine (WAGM) - Good evening everyone and happy Tuesday. We had a better day across the region today with more sunshine seen. Winds however were gusty all day long, with some of the strongest wind gusts seen during the morning hours. Clear skies and lighter winds are expected tonight, leaving us with temperatures cooling off into the upper 50s and lower 60s. Another day of sunshine is expected tomorrow, with highs having no problem soaring into the upper 80s. I wouldn't be surprised if a few towns end up making it into the lower 90s with all the right pieces falling into place for a hot day anticipated.

More nice weather is expected the remainder of the work week, with high pressure still in control of the region. Temperatures tomorrow will be very similar to today, with highs climbing into the upper 80s, and even some lower 90s more likely than not. Friday we've got a better chance at seeing some cloud cover build into the region, which ultimately works to limit high temperatures heading into the afternoon. The weekend forecast right now looks unsettled, with highs only making it into the lower 80s with the threat of showers and thunderstorms likely most of the day.

Expect one more decent day tomorrow, with more sunshine and hot temperatures in store. Shower chances are then expected to build heading into the weekend, with both Saturday and Sunday featuring the threat for showers and storms. We'll briefly see some sunshine for the start of the new work week, with additional shower chances likely through the middle of the week.

PRESQUE ISLE, Maine (WAGM) - A midday celestial show over our area Wednesday, as a partial solar eclipse moved across the sky. The eclipse began just before one o'clock, at twelve fifty, when the edge of the moon started taking its first “bite” out of the sun. Over the next half hour, coverage gradually increased, with about twenty percent of the sun's disk obscured as the moon moved farther into place.
