Pair of weekend storms forecasted to deliver high winds, heavy rain



BANGOR, Maine — Mainers are expected to feel the one-two punch this weekend of a pair of storms that forecasters predict will hit the state with high winds and as much as 6 inches of rain in some areas.

The National Weather Service issued flood watches for western, southern and coastal Maine today through Sunday morning and predicted “chaotic winds and seas” would create hazardous conditions for boaters and coastal residents over the weekend.



. . .The first of the storms began making its way north Friday from the Carolinas. Rain began falling Friday morning in southern and coastal sections of Maine and was spreading across the state during the day with the brunt of the storm expected to hit today.

Close on that unnamed storm’s heels is Tropical Storm Kyle, which is expected to dump even more rain on Maine on Sunday, according to Meteorologist Victor Nouhan of the National Weather Service office in Caribou.


. . . The Maine Emergency Management Agency advised Mainers to keep disaster supplies on hand, prepare to evacuate if need be, secure outdoor furniture and arrange for the safety of pets and livestock.



. . . The Coast Guard advised boat owners to secure their canoes, kayaks and other vessels before the storm. The agency also advised that boaters whose vessels break loose during the storm should notify the nearest Coast Guard station so that unnecessary rescue missions won’t be mounted, taking assets away from real distress calls.
