Meteorologist Joe Lundberg

Joe Lundberg, a senior meteorologist from AccuWeather, discussed the current and upcoming weather conditions. He noted that the heat has subsided, with temperatures expected to be in the 70s and 80s, and a dry air mass due to a flash drought in southern Maine. Rainfall is expected to be minimal, with a potential quarter-inch from a late Sunday front. The risk of brush fires is high due to dry conditions and any wind. Additionally, warmer-than-normal water temperatures in the Gulf of Maine are causing increased shark sightings. Lundberg emphasized the need for caution due to high fire danger and the potential for burn bans.
