Large ocean storm threatens our weekend

We've had a string of beautiful weekends, but that streak may end this weekend.

PORTLAND, Maine — We've been incredibly lucky lately with our weekend weather, but that luck may run out this weekend as a large ocean storm migrates up the East Coast and threatens Northern New England with rain.

In the short term, high pressure will anchor over Maine, keeping us dry and protecting us from drenching rain through parts of the Mid-Atlantic and Southern New England. Some of the modeled rain amounts are pushing four inches through Friday morning!

But the pattern starts breaking down late in the workweek as the high shifts east essentially opening up the gates for rain to move north into Maine and New Hampshire.

There may end up being a pretty good fetch off the Atlantic Ocean. Sub-tropical air gets pushed into the coast and rain amounts may eclipse an inch over the weekend.

We are still several days away, leaving room for the storm to adjust and the forecast to improve.  Keep your fingers crossed!
