Local Weather Forecast for Presque Isle and surrounding area with the hourly forecast, and a detailed look at the weather from the U.S. National Weather Service in Caribou, Maine.

Nice weather on Mother's Day

It looks like the weekend has some nice weather in store for northern Maine. As we head into Friday, it starts out cloudy and then the sun comes out. No rain throughout the day.

There will be some clouds to start Mother’s Day weekend, but the rain should stay away Saturday and Sunday.

With the nice weather comes a free fishing weekend in Maine. There are so many great fishing spots in the County - Mom’s will love a little time with family on the water.

After a long haul during the pandemic, some outdoor time is much needed for overall health - and just getting more and more back to normal.

Next week looks like some rain Monday through Wednesday. It doesn’t sound like a lot of precipitation, but a chance of showers each day right on through Hump Day.

Looking ahead to the extended forecast, sun and warmer temps are back Thursday.

Changing out of the winter gear has already happened in Aroostook County - and we love our cold weather gear. You already see people out in shorts and short sleeves taking it all in. People are out jogging and walking and getting more and more exercise. Your local parks like Riverside in Presque Isle are fun places to go and bask in the warmth. There's the playground for kids to enjoy and places for parents to relax.

Have a great weekend and don’t think about the rain coming next week.
