BANGOR, Maine (WABI) - Strong low pressure will approach the region today and pass to our west during the day Tuesday. This storm will bring us lots of rain and wind tonight through Tuesday.
We’ve got a quiet start to our Monday with variably cloudy skies across the state. Any early sunshine will give way to increasing clouds as the morning progresses. Rain associated with our approaching storm will spread southwest to northeast across the state this afternoon. Temperatures today will climb into the upper 40s to low 50s for highs. The southeast wind will become gusty later in the afternoon and evening as the storm approaches, causing the pressure gradient over the region to tighten. Expect gusts to 20-30 MPH inland and 30-40 MPH along the coast by later this afternoon and evening. Rain will continue tonight, falling heavily at times. A few isolated thunderstorms will be possible too. The southeast wind will be strong tonight with gusts to 40-50 MPH possible inland and 50-60 MPH gusts possible along the coast. As a result, power outages will be possible during the night tonight. The southeast wind will continue to transport warmer air into the state during the overnight hours.

The strongest winds will exit the area tomorrow afternoon allowing wind speeds to gradually diminish tomorrow afternoon and evening.
