.DISCUSSION...
A cold front approaches from the north this evening, then
slowly pushes south through Maine, as it weakens, from late
tonight tonight into Monday night. High pressure then builds
into the region Tuesday.
After gusts to around 20mph into this evening, winds become light
again, generally running 10 mph or less Monday-Tuesday. There
could be some isolated showers and possibly a rumble of thunder
immediately ahead of the cold front from tonight into Monday
night, but do not expect much in the way of measurable rainfall,
with most areas receiving less than a tenth of an inch of rain,
with some isolated amounts of 1/4 to 1/3 of an inch possible. It
should then be dry from Tuesday through at least Friday.
