National Weather Service Gray ME
1029 AM EDT Sun May 19 2024

.DISCUSSION...
Conditions turn mostly drier and slightly warmer today into the
first part of next week as high pressure builds into the area.
However, there may be a brief shower or sprinkle today which
would be light and very brief. Patchy drizzle is possible as
well. The next chance of wetting rains, and even some lightning,
looks to arrive toward the middle of next week.
