Weather Channel films episode in Maine

This summer, Maine’s changeable weather gave the Weather Channel so much inspiration that it has focused an entire 40-minute “Atmosphere” show on Maine. The program premieres at 8 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 7, and will run again at 11 that night. The Maine show will be rebroadcast at 8 and 11 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 10, and 5 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 13.

For the crew’s 10-day sweep through Maine, the producers partnered with the Maine Office of Tourism. Filming began at Northern Outdoors in The Forks, where the crew took part in white-water rafting trips down the Kennebec and Penobscot rivers.

The show also included a typical morning of lobstering off Kennebunkport and a look at the beach erosion at Camp Ellis near Old Orchard Beach.

To film Maine’s deep connection to the sea, the crew hooked up with a lobstering family, and was then fed at the family’s restaurant, the Cape Pier Lobster Pound.
