All right. Welcome back. You're taking
a live look from Cape Elizabeth,
the Portland headlight.
A beautiful morning out there, Aaron.
It's cloudy, though. It's cloudy,
It's foggy. But I feel like
either way, it's always kind
of nice to see that. It's like,
I mean that's so pretty.
It's so pretty.
It's so pretty the way.
I mean you can't compete
with it. So not too bad.
Now it's not going to be as pretty
all day long. Unfortunately.
We're going to actually have everything
getting a little bit worse and more
stormy as we head through your day here.
We have a flood watch
across the entire state.
It was just western Maine earlier yesterday.
Now it's extended to the whole state.
This goes until 6:00 AM tomorrow.
Because the slow pressure system
that's just sitting off to our West
and slowly inching its way towards us.
But as it is,
it's providing quite a bit of
rainfall and some storms and
a little bit of everything.
Too much of the New England area as
it continues to pass through here
in our state really not seeing too,
too much right now.
You can see these are kind of
popping up here from the southwest
up towards the northeast.
So just going to continue on that path here.
As you go to your morning,
we look at a couple of those
cells that are popping up.
We can see a few of them outside
right north of Portsmouth and
right around Dover as well.
We have some heavy showers
and storms moving to the area.
So heavy rain and downpours will be a
part of the morning for many out there.
Southern Maine,
seeing the same general story.
This is getting a bit larger
as it moves through.
So it is going to pick up and
continue to move to the Northeast as
we head through your morning here.
So you can expect to see some
heavier rain here soon.
Portland,
you guys will probably get
just the edge of that.
But it's going to stay more towards
Gray and the rest of Cumberland
County as that continues through
this morning heading through the
rest of your day here today.
We're going to see it generally
starting to pick up a bit more
over the next few hours for
the western half of the state.
Some of those will creep a little
bit further inland and then I was
we continue into a little bit later
in your day right around lunchtime,
we're going to see that really
picking up for the western half
of the state overall.
That's going to start to be heavy.
We're going to have some downpours
in there as well.
There's going to be some storms.
You can expect some lightning and whatnot.
As we head through your day,
continue on to this evening,
it continues to push off to the east.
And if you're living down east
in Washington County,
you can expect to see some of
those continuing overnight into
early tomorrow morning as well.
So you guys will be the last
ones to get out of the rainfall
in the storms as we move into
the first part of your day.
After that tomorrow we'll start to
clear out and we'll actually have a
lot more sunshine back in the forecast.
But it's really not going
to feel like that's coming
as we go through your day here today.
Now we are under a severe
storm risk for your day today.
This is for much of New England,
really the bulk of it off to
our South in Massachusetts and
Connecticut and Rhode Island as well.
We are just in Southern Maine
kind of on the edge of this.
We're at a one out of five.
So we're not at the highest storm risk,
but there still is a risk nonetheless.
And the main thing we're watching with
that is going to be a lot of rain,
excessive rainfall forecast.
We are a bit higher in this one.
We are expecting this red region right here,
the highest of the rainfall totals where
we can expect the worst of the flooding
as it continues to move through up
to about two inches an hour as possible,
which is quite a bit of rain considering
it's falling on already saturated ground.
So we are expecting a decent bit of
rain as we move through your day here.
Some areas can expect 3 to 5 inches,
if not a bit more locally.
As you move through one to three
for the rest of the state,
that gets a little bit further outside
of that red area that I just showed you.
Don't freak out.
This is not as serious as it's looking.
There is a slight tornado risk.
I just wanted to tell you.
So you know I'm going to be
here all morning watching it.
Jason will be here later.
We will cut into whatever's going on.
If something happens,
there is a very, very low risk.
For Southern Maine as well.
As we move through that point in time,
we'll keep an eye on that.
For you guys see there at 3:00 to 4:00 feet,
there is going to be white windy winds
on the water for your day today.
Gusts up to 25 knots,
which is why there's a small
craft advisory as well.
Clears out a bit more as we
go through your day tomorrow.
You'll see some sun continuing as we
go through the rest of your week.
So some sun, some clouds, mostly inland.
You keep that daily chance
for a couple showers.
We're gonna get a little bit
more sunshine along the coast,
but overall,
we're kind of continuing that pattern after
we get through the storms today of some sun,
some clouds,
but slowly shaping up to be better.
OK,
perfect. A little bit of both,
A little bit about awesome.
