[{'start': '11.560', 'end': '11.800', 'text': "All right, Ryan, it seems like I'm getting a little bit of deja vu of uh this past week has been gorgeous and another weekend. Yeah, the weekend is coming and there will be some rain, but it's not going to be anything like last weekend, so I think part of it will actually be pretty nice. We'll talk about that right now. First off, we have the first round of rain coming in. It's dry. Across most of the state now, but there is some rain in Vermont starting to move into northern New Hampshire, and this will be spreading east over the next several hours. High pressure was in control today, but that's now starting to shift away. We have a warm front that brings clouds and showers tomorrow, and then this cold front stalls out over us for the weekend, which means some waves of rain. But it won't be raining the whole time. It's not like last weekend where we had a pretty big rainstorm that moved through. So over the next few hours, showers will develop and 6 o'clock tomorrow morning it's cloudy with scattered showers and even a few downpours out there. But this will be moving along. So by mid to late morning, a lot of places actually do dry. out we'll just have a lot of clouds, maybe a little drizzle with temperatures mainly in the 40s as we get toward early afternoon, the warm front is struggling to move through the state, and eastern Maine will never really clear out tomorrow, but western Maine, especially parts of Oxford, Cumberland, and New York County, is closer to the New Hampshire border. There should be some sunshine, and that will briefly warm things up, but also could pop another shower or even a thunderstorm tomorrow afternoon where we do see some breaks of sunshine. So a big range in temperature tomorrow, only around 50 in eastern Maine, between 55 and 60 for a lot of central Maine down to about Portland, and then west of Lewiston and Portland where there's the best chance for some sunshine. Temperatures if you do see that sun will rise farther up into the 60s. So that's the warm front moving through tomorrow and then on Saturday, uh, particularly in the morning, we should have some dry hours and likely even a little bit of sunshine. But any sun we see will help develop showers for the afternoon, so it does look like scattered showers, maybe even a brief downpour will be possible Saturday afternoon into Saturday evening with this front in the area. Uh, Temperatures on Saturday though, if we do see some sunshine, could hit 70 degrees around 11:30 before the clouds and showers redevelop. Coastline, especially midcoast and down east will be a bit cooler. And same story up north, the Sunday forecast is all about where this front goes. If it stalls out over us, clouds will remain in place, and there will be a few showers. Now the best chance for that is probably in central and southern Maine. Northern Maine has a better shot of staying dry on Sunday. This particular model actually dries us out completely, which would be really good for the first parts of Pine Game in Portland, uh, Sunday evening. So we'll hope that happens, but the front's still nearby, so for now we'll keep a chance for showers, especially in southern Maine, in the forecast on Sunday, but it does have the possibility at least of drying up a bit. See you tomorrow 2 to 4 ft with a southerly wind out on the water. So cloudy and damp tomorrow morning with showers. The afternoon is drier, and if you're in western Maine, you could get into the 60s. The rest of us stay in the 50s. Best shot for sunshine this weekend is probably Saturday morning, and then showers develop in the afternoon, continuing into probably Sunday morning. In southern Maine, uh, northern Maine more likely to be dry on Sunday. And then I know early next week looks like it's going to rain a lot. Uh, understanding though, Caroline, this just looks like an unsettled pattern next week with lots of clouds, some sun, but also a few showers, but no big rainstorms as we see it right now. OK, no, no, no, no reason to freak out over all the raindrops. All right, Ryan, -- thank -- you. You're welcome."}]
