PORTLAND, Maine — It’s shaping up to be a busy week in Maine as the 151st Cumberland County Fair got underway Sunday as well as Maine Lobster Week.
Weather is a topic on everyone’s mind going into this week and next week for the legendary Fryeburg Fair so let’s get into the forecast.
A large area of high pressure is dropping down from eastern Canada to provide us with the best weather you could imagine. We will even see temps rise towards the end of the week and the upcoming weekend to above seasonable averages.
Look for a few cool nights, but nothing terribly cold. Mostly mild afternoons are on tap with 70s away from the cooler coastline. It’s perfect for going to your favorite fair or getting in some early leaf-peeping.
Let’s start things off with the Cumberland County Fair on Monday of 9/25. I expect a cooler and breezy day along the coastline so grab a coat if you are headed out. It will be dry all day though, so no umbrella is needed.
Conditions improve each day into the rest of the week with a run for 70 by Wednesday and sunglasses will be needed.
It’s all courtesy of that big ridge I mentioned earlier as it will move in from the northwest and keep us dry.
That means plenty of lobster will be served at your favorite restaurants this week and discounted by some establishments. Here are a few locations around Maine to hopefully get some lobster outdoors.
Don’t forget the Fryeburg Fair is right around the corner as it kicks off on October 1st with incredible weather expected next week, too.
If pizza is more your thing the weather will be perfect for that, too with cheese, marghertia and Detroit style all on the menu this week.
We won’t see any rain the next 7 days in Maine thanks to that big “H” on the map.
I’m describing this week’s weather with words I’ve never used before.
Yes, it’s really going to be great in Maine all week long. Enjoy.
