Chilly nighttime temps in 20s and comfortable daytime highs in the 50s/low 60s. That's the weather story this weekend. We have another two days without seeing a cloud. Have a great weekend!

Lucked out and missed a big one this week.

High thin clouds associated with a powerful storm south made for a beautiful sunset in Vacationland. This was the view from the CBS13 Raymond Skycam.

Tonight's beautiful sunset is brought to you by Subtropical Storm Josephine. The pleasant late October stretch continues in the coming days. Enjoy!

It was 30 years ago today the "October Washout" in southern Maine began. Hurricane Lili, hundreds of miles to the east, combined with an upper low over the northeast to bring nearly 20 inches of rain to parts of S. Maine. 10/21/96 11.74" remains wettest calendar day in Portland.

And our friends @SugarloafMaine clearly fired up the snow guns this weekend. View from Sentinel 2 satellite yesterday.

Turning windy and cooler Saturday. We'll enjoy some deserved sunshine both days this weekend. Sunday's the pick of the weekend with lighter winds, and more seasonable temps. Here's the breakdown.

[Charlie Lopresti @CharlieWGME]

Still some decent color in the lower elevations as of yesterday. Short-lived though! KMWN should be gusting to 100 tomorrow.

The first pre 6PM sunset of the season. This was the view from Raymond.

[Charlie Lopresti @CharlieWGME]

More rapid changes are on the way. Sunshine Thursday will transition to another chilly rain Friday. Cool and blustery conditions lead headlines Saturday. Here's the breakdown.

[Charlie Lopresti @CharlieWGME]

Big swings continue this week. It's a battle between the warm and cold. Coolest of the season so far arrives this weekend. Here's the breakdown.

[Charlie Lopresti @CharlieWGME]

Rain, thunderstorms, wet snow, and mountaintop freezing rain. There's quite a variety on this evening's radar loop.

[Charlie Lopresti @CharlieWGME]

The long holiday weekend is looking good in Maine. Most of the wet weather will be at night Sunday night. Here's the breakdown. Enjoy!

[Charlie Lopresti @CharlieWGME]

Note taken. That’s what record strong El Niño would suggest as well.
