Maine Weather

Every week the Z will post a question to all you fans about what you think about this or that. It could be a national craze or just a hot topic on the station for the week. You hear our thoughts on the airwaves and we're bringing it to the internet with our 'Z Nation Sound Off' weekly…

When we start talking about hurricane impacts on Maine what is the first thing you start to think about? Rain, right?

Firefighters around the state have had to extinguish over 900 wildfires since spring.

In the past few weeks, we've gotten to catch a kick-ass comet in the sky with Comet Neowise, and it looks like we could catch more action this week and into August.

It is predicted we will get 6 to 10 hurricanes with 3 to 6 of these becoming major hurricanes. The average is 6 hurricanes with 3 becoming major hurricanes.

The main threat will be strong winds, although small hail is possible as well. Showers and storms will also have chance to bring heavy rain to the area.

The first photos seem to showcase a shelf cloud, a cloud lower at the cloud base that spreads across the width of the skyline. Further in the pictures some clouds seem to be funneling from the cloud.

Summer isn't even here yet, but guess who is looking into the future...

According to the Maine Forestry Service's website, only the very Northern part of Maine is out of the danger zone, the fire danger zone, that is.

This guy means business!
