.DISCUSSION...
Low pressure tracking west of Maine will bring rain mostly to
west-central and southwest portions of the region today. The best
chance of a wetting rain will be from the west-central highlands
southeast into Hancock County. Only isolated/scattered showers
are expected across northeast areas. Dry weather is expected
Friday and Saturday, and with a northeast flow the minimum
relative humidity values will remain above 40 percent each
afternoon with good recoveries at night. The next chance of a
wetting rain is Sunday night.
