Clouds will increase pretty quickly on Friday as Dorian approaches. High temperatures Friday will be around 65°-70°.

Rain from Hurricane Dorian will start early Saturday morning. It’ll be heaviest at the coast. The Rangeley area and the Greenville area might be left out, but the rest of us will have at least some rain. Winds will pick up Saturday too, especially at the coast. By mid morning Saturday we’ll have 30-40 mph wind gusts. We could gust between 40-50 MPH along the Midcoast and Downeast Coast. *There is a Tropical Storm Watch in effect from Schoodic Point to Eastport.* That’s something we certainly don’t see very often. We will clear out late in the day Saturday. Temperatures Saturday will stay in the low 60s.

Looks like Halifax is in the bullseye for this one....

As Hurricane Dorian moves northeast toward Nova Scotia, weather forecasters are warning about high surf Saturday along the entire Maine coast.

A tropical storm warning was in effect Friday morning for coastal waters along the Washington County shoreline, a higher-level caution than the tropical storm watch that the National Weather Service had issued for the same area on Thursday afternoon.
