Special Weather Statement issued May 10 at 2:36AM EDT by NWS Gray ME

Effective: Sun May 10, 2026, 2:36 AM
Expires: Sun May 10, 2026, 11:00 AM

* The warm air temperatures today into the middle 60s to near 70 degrees may cause people to underestimate the dangers of the cold water temperatures, which are currently only in the upper 40s across Sebago Lake and Lake Winnipesaukee, and in the upper 40s in the regions smaller lakes and rivers. * The cold water temperatures can quickly cause hypothermia to anyone immersed in the water. According to the US Coast Guard, when the water temperatures are below 50 degrees, the chance of immediate incapacitation due to cold shock is extremely high. Anyone on small boats, canoes, or kayaks should plan accordingly if recreating and use extreme caution to avoid this threat. Paddle smart from the start and always wear your life jacket! * Strong winds are also expected with gusts up to 25 mph from the southwest. If boating on large bodies of water, these strong winds can increase the likelihood of overturning your boat, canoe, or kayak due to increased wave heights.

The times presented here are based upon the solunar theory, which is the idea that the movements of fish and other animals are affected by the location of the sun and moon. The major periods are believed to be the times of the greatest animal activity and occur when the moon is directly overhead or underfoot (lunar transits). The minor periods also see increased activity and occur when the moon is rising or setting. The strongest activity occurs during full or new moons, and the weakest during quarter or three quarter moons. This is indicated by the Action Rating.
