So, in the #WeirdWeather department... Here where I am in Southern York County (15 miles inland), there was a wee bit of sprinkles, and that was it. I looked at the radar... It showed rain coming our way from the west, then getting blown back west of us. This is very unusual. One can see the two pressures battling each other! And southern #NewEngland is getting drenched!

#CascoBay #AlgaeBloom weakens in some areas, but shellfish impacts to continue
Harpswell's harbormaster said as the algae dies, it uses up oxygen marine life need to survive.
by Alex Haskell (NCM)
September 21, 2026HARPSWELL, Maine — "An algae bloom believed to be responsible for the deaths of thousands of shellfish in Casco Bay is weakening in some areas, but local officials said its effects could continue for weeks, and recovery could take years.
"The bloom has affected waters off #HarpswellME and #BrunswickME in recent weeks. Harpswell Harbormaster Darcie Couture said monitoring shows some improvement in places that were hit early.
" 'The areas that were first impacted, we’re watching the cell counts go down,' Couture said.
"However, declining algae levels can create another problem for marine life. As the algae dies, it uses up dissolved oxygen in the water.
" 'Dissolved oxygen is what’s out there in the water that everything else needs to survive—all the clams, the fish, everything that lives there,' Couture said. 'So we’re potentially looking at a second wave of impacts.'
"It could take days or weeks for oxygen levels to return to normal, according to Couture. In the meantime, additional marine life could die as oxygen levels remain low.
"Officials are also watching new blooms developing elsewhere in the region, including the #NewMeadowsRiver area at the northern end of Casco Bay.
" 'We’re trying to figure how to manage that and continue to track the bloom,' Couture said.
"The bloom has also prompted harvesting restrictions. Hundreds of acres of #mudflats under stress from the bloom are now closed to shellfish harvesting in Brunswick and Harpswell.
" 'The closure was put in place because of a request from the two towns over concerns that continued harvesting will cause additional stress and increased mortality,' Maine Department of Marine Resources Communications Director Jeff Nichols said in a statement.
"While those closures directly affect where shellfish harvesters can work, officials are still determining what the bloom could mean for local aquaculture operations.
" 'We’ve had some reports of sickly-looking oysters,' Couture told NEWS CENTER Maine.
"The full extent of the damage may not become clear for some time. Couture said the algae bloom could linger until late fall, and officials will need to conduct a survey after it disappears to determine its overall effect on the area's shellfish.
"She said the affected mudflats could take years to fully recover.
"Intense weather this fall could also complicate the situation by pushing additional blooms toward Maine waters, Couture added."

#Maine did not get much of that rain at all... Pretty much just light showers all day...
#Flooding swamps #I95 corridor from #NewJersey to #RhodeIsland
Rounds of heavy rain from thunderstorms caused flooding problems up the I-95 corridor Sunday morning from northern New Jersey to Rhode Island.
By Jesse Ferrell, Sep 14, 2026
"Five to seven inches of rain fell in the area, with a maximum of 7.39 inches recorded by an AccuWeather Ambient weather station in Westport, Connecticut."

#Phytoplankton found in #CascoBay can harm aquatic life
#MainePublic | By Molly Enking
Published September 9, 2026"The Maine Department of Marine Resources is monitoring an algal bloom in Casco Bay that it says can be toxic to aquatic life, but not humans.
"The phytoplankton can turn the water brown and give off an odor, which was detected in Portland Harbor on Sunday, according to a social media post by the city Harbormaster.
"The first known outbreak of the same bacteria in Casco Bay was in 2017, which led to die-offs of shellfish and lobster.
"It is not yet clear whether fisheries are at risk during this outbreak; the DMR says it will continue to test and monitor waters, from Portland Harbor to Harpswell."

I had a bad feeling that this summer would be the last time I would have fried clams...
Dead clams, worms reported amid #CascoBay #AlgalBloom
Story by Griffin Stockford, 9/9/2026
"Dead and dying clams and worms, brown water, and a strong odor of decay have been reported along parts of the Harpswell coast as the Maine Department of Marine Resources monitors a widespread algal bloom in Casco Bay.
"Clam harvesters in #HarpswellME began reporting the unusual conditions, prompting the town's harbormaster to ask coastal residents and harvesters to document what they see and provide photographs, descriptions, and exact locations.
"The Maine Department of Marine Resources has also confirmed it is monitoring a bloom of the commonly occurring phytoplankton #KareniaMikimotoi.
"The bloom has been observed from Portland Harbor to Middle Bay, with additional reports from waters in New Hampshire and Massachusetts, according to DMR. Phytoplankton counts in Portland reached 2 million cells per liter, according to officials.
"DMR staff and members of the public have reported brown discoloration of the water and an accompanying odor.
"Early reports indicate clam deaths in Middle Bay and #MaquoitBay may be related to the bloom, according to DMR.
"The agency said Karenia mikimotoi is not a threat to human health, unlike some other harmful algal blooms that can produce toxins associated with shellfish poisoning. However, the phytoplankton can have harmful effects on marine organisms.
"The species can produce compounds that potentially affect fish and shellfish. #FishKills and other marine mortality events have been reported during blooms of Karenia mikimotoi in locations including #HongKong, #Australia, #Ireland, #Japan, #Korea and #Alaska."

#Maine's #drought is getting worse, and isn't expected to get better soon
By Peter McGuire, September 7, 2026
"Parts of Maine have had at least 12 inches less rain than normal over the past year. Nick Stasulis, a supervisory physical scientist a with the U.S. Geological Survey said co-chair of the Maine Drought Task Force, said groundwater levels are also at far below normal levels.
"A poor snowpack and lack of rain over the last year means groundwater was unable to recharge from last year's drought, Stasulis said. Some wells in the Interstate 95 corridor between Augusta and Kittery are at record low levels.
" 'A handful of those wells in that area are the lowest that they've been, in that period of record — 30-40 years in those locations, and that says something,' Stasulis added.
"Nearly the entire state of Maine is at least in abnormally dry conditions, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor. More than 368,000 people are living in a pocket of severe drought spreading from Portland to Waldo and Hancock counties."

Task force warns of worsening #drought on track to match last year
Kaitlyn Budion
Fri, September 4, 2026"Data from around Maine suggests the state never fully recovered from last fall's drought, leaving the state in a tough position as conditions worsen once again, according to the Maine Drought Task Force.
"The task force convenes when abnormally dry conditions in the state compound, and aims to increase communication and awareness of the conditions. Members from state and federal agencies met for the first time this year Thursday morning to share information on weather conditions and other drought symptoms.
"Peter Rogers, co-chair of the task force and director of the Maine Emergency Management Agency, said the current conditions aren't a surprise.
" 'I think we knew last year … that we were going to be here again this year,' he said. 'I heard somebody say last year's drought affected this year's drought, and that's absolutely the case.'
"And looking at the current forecasts, Rogers said, 'I don't see a lot of good news coming.'
"He said it's unlikely that the state will start getting 'that one inch of rain every week — the things that we really need to get out of this.'
"With all of the troubling signs, residents are encouraged to conserve water and check private wells."

Kaitlyn Budion
Fri, September 4, 2026"Data from around Maine suggests the state never fully recovered from last fall's drought, leaving the state in a tough position as conditions worsen once again, according to the Maine Drought Task Force.
"The task force convenes when abnormally dry conditions in the state compound, and aims to increase communication and awareness of the conditions. Members from state and federal agencies met for the first time this year Thursday morning to share information on weather conditions and other drought symptoms.
"Peter Rogers, co-chair of the task force and director of the Maine Emergency Management Agency, said the current conditions aren't a surprise.
" 'I think we knew last year … that we were going to be here again this year,' he said. 'I heard somebody say last year's drought affected this year's drought, and that's absolutely the case.'
"And looking at the current forecasts, Rogers said, 'I don't see a lot of good news coming.'
"He said it's unlikely that the state will start getting 'that one inch of rain every week — the things that we really need to get out of this.'
"With all of the troubling signs, residents are encouraged to conserve water and check private wells."

Hubby and I sampled some of the native #BlackCherries . They are NOT very tasty this year. Probably from the drought. The good news? The local bears are still eating them!

Ayuh... And my friends with asthma are stuck indoors. Be safe friends!
#Wildfire Smoke Spreads Across the #Northeast as Temperatures Spike
A heat dome is responsible for miserably high temperatures, and it’s also helping to push smoke from wildfires to the east.
By Judson Jones and Mark Walker
July 15, 2026"From the windows of office buildings across Manhattan, the blue sky turned hazy on Tuesday as wildfire smoke from #Canada and the #GreatLakes slipped across the Northeast, prompting alerts in some places about poor air quality.
"The haze is expected to continue on Wednesday, and even to worsen in some places, as the same heat dome that is pushing temperatures close to 100 degrees across much of eastern Canada and the United States traps the smoke from faraway wildfires close to the ground.
"In New York, city officials warned of 'the possibility of deteriorating air quality' throughout the day Wednesday, but noted that even the most severe forecasts for did not approach the levels seen in 2023, when the Canadian wildfire smoke sent the city’s air quality index surging to dangerous levels. Still, they said, echoing the warnings of officials across the region, people with health conditions that make them sensitive to polluted air should take caution.
"The heat dome, an area of high pressure in the atmosphere, was visible on satellite imagery on Tuesday as an area of clear sky over the middle of the country, where the surrounding air moves clockwise. On the ground, it manifests as a hot, humid and smoky stew that can make just stepping outdoors an unpleasant task.
"Across much of the United States and southern Canada, weather officials have placed tens of millions of people under heat warnings, with high temperatures from the upper 90s to above 100 degrees expected in many places on Wednesday."The National Weather Service said that nearly 100 million people from the Dakotas into New England would be under its 'major' or 'extreme' warning levels for dangerous heat. Environment Canada, the country’s weather service, said that, through Wednesday, southern Ontario would be under an orange alert, the second most severe in its three-tier system."
