National Weather Service out of Gray, Maine:
...Strong winds expected tonight into Monday...
.A strong low pressure system will cut north through the Northeast

first will be with strong southeast winds developing around
midnight tonight. Gusts in excess of 50 to 60 mph will be possible
along and near the coast...as well as in the higher terrain and
northwest side of the White Mountains. A second period may develop
around mid morning...as the remnants of Philippe get wrapped into
the low pressure. This would mainly focus winds in excess of 60
mph along the Midcoast of Maine. Finally once winds shift to
westerly behind the low pressure...gusty winds will develop for
all areas. This may bring widespread wind gusts in excess of 40
mph and additional wind headlines may be necessary.
