Hazy Sunshine, Shower Chances Return by the Afternoon
PRESQUE ISLE, Maine (WAGM) - Good Tuesday morning everyone! While we have plenty of sunshine to start, it may not seem like it because hazy skies have returned associated with wildfire smoke out west. We will continue to see some thicker plumes of smoke advance further southward as patterns change in the upper levels of the atmosphere. The silver lining in all of this is that these plumes of smoke will likely have a tough time reaching the surface due to the presence of moisture in the atmosphere and numerous chances for showers. At best, it is slated to bring our air quality levels within the moderate range. If you do have any underlying respiratory concerns make sure you are taking it easy these next few days.
Maine regulators reject utility proposal to report suspected marijuana grow operations to police
Maine utility regulators unanimously rejected on Tuesday an electric utility’s proposal to proactively report high consumption that signals a marijuana growing operation to law enforcement officials in an attempt to aid police crackdown on illicit operations. The three-member Public Utilities Commission cited concerns about customers who use large amounts of electricity for legitimate reasons being targeted because of the reports. Commissioners opted to stick with the status quo in which utilities provide consumer data only when presented with a formal law enforcement subpoena. Versant Power floated the idea because it says it has a high success rate of identifying marijuana grow houses but no ability to communicate that to police. Somerset County Sheriff Dale Lancaster called it a “good first step.” Other supporters included Republican U.S. Sen. Susan Collins, who has aggressively pressed the FBI about the illegal marijuana operations. Versant spokesperson Judy Long said Tuesday the utility promoted the discussion “strictly in the interest of public and worker safety.”
