.DISCUSSION...
A wetting rain is likely today south and east of a line from
Houlton to Dover-Foxcroft. Rain totals diminish northwest of this
line. Behind the front, afternoon relative humidity below 30
percent is expected in the North Woods. Dry Canadian high pressure
returns tonight then persists through Tuesday. However, an Arctic
cold front with scattered snow showers will cross the region
Monday with very low relative humidity, but much below normal
level temperatures. Low pressure will move across the region next
Wednesday and Thursday with another wetting rain or snow likely.
