A thick fog rolled into Portland and other coastal communities reducing visibilities and knocking down temperatures.

Fog stuck thick during most hours of the day right here along the coast. Interior areas were treated to almost full sun and summer-like weather conditions. During attendance of the Fryeburg fair on Wednesday the 5th, we were treated to summer-like temperatures of 80 degrees and full sun. Upon returning to South Portland, we had drizzle and 55 degrees. Whenever the fog was blanketing Portland, the temperatures were right around 55 degrees, approximately the same temperature as the ocean water in Casco Bay. On the 7th, there were only 7 hours of the day that did not have fog; of those 7 hours without fog being reported at the ASOS, 4 had haze. So of the 24 hours of the day, only 3 were without obscuration.
