Early September is a mini-peak for severe, often as good as it gets around here. 

9/7/98 is a great example

 

With the right conditions, even in late month.  On 9/30/86, straight-line winds flattened about 600 acres 13-14 miles SE from downtown Fort Kent, a swath 4 miles long and up to 1/2 mile wide, ending with trees blown into Square Lake.  Damage was near 100%, probably 90-100 mph gusts.  I don't know if CAR ever investigated - would've had to been within 6 weeks of the event as the area had a 20"+ storm on 11/20-21. 
(Irony:  5 years later, same date [9/30], the area had 3-4" snow.)

Be glad you are at the beach today and not up north.

I’m not at the beach lol. Got to do some yard stuff today. Beach gets hard to do this time year with Fall sports now too. I can only pretend to be where Radarman is.

Peak beach season.  No crowds.  Warm water (usually).  Free.

Unfortunately it's pretty dark to the west.  CHH looks like the best bet today.  

Hopefully burns off a bit. I love that area. Maybe check out the seals in Chatham harbor and grab a lobster roll there lol.

I still remember the 9/30/1991 snowfall very well.  It was the first year that I moved to Caribou (dad was a civilian for the AF & he transferred from Pease to Loring).  Anyways, it was cold and rainy that whole day with temps falling into the upper 30s by late afternoon.  Once the sun set, those temps fell even more & the rain turned to some fat, big and wet snow flakes that lasted several hours that night.  Ended up with about 2-1/2 inches of snow in Caribou that night.  

I now live in Sturbridge, Mass (moved from Caribou to Mass in 2017), but still remember that very early season snowfall to this day.

Hey, don't mean to "interrupt," but I just moved to Northampton, Mass. from Brattleboro, Vermont. I am from Boston proper, the city, not the burbs, although I went to Newton North High School. 

We have some weather coming here:

Special Weather Statement
National Weather Service Boston/Norton MA
419 AM EDT Sat Sep 6 2025

...SCATTERED SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON...

A cold front brings potential for scattered severe thunderstorms
today to interior southern New England. Thunderstorms may begin to
pop-up across eastern New York, along the border with Connecticut
and Massachusetts early as 12-2pm. There after is prime time for
storms to build develop,between 2-6pm, across the interior of
southern New England. Expect thunderstorms to weaken as the line
shifts to the I-95 corridor between 7-10pm.

Thunderstorms will have the potential to produce straight-line
damaging winds, hail, localized flash flooding in urban areas or
locations of poor drainage, frequent lightning, and a lower risk
of tornadoes.

Whether you are heading to an outdoor event or hanging around the
house, today is one of those days to remain weather aware, and have
multiple ways of receiving weather alerts (cell phone notifications,
NOAA Weather Radio, and broadcast meteorologists).

We moved to Fort Kent on Jan 1, 1976 and moved back south (Gardiner) on Oct 25, 1985, so I missed the big Novie dump, though we waded thru it a week later on Public Land (Scraggly Lake) just NE from Baxter Park.  The day we moved to FK was relatively mild, low 20s.  Then Jan 9-13 had minima -33/-36/-24/-41/-37.  1976 was probably the most weather-eventful year of my lifetime, though the 12 months March 1960-Feb 1961 was close.
