DISCUSSION
SNOW SHOWERS DEVELOPING OVER THE NORTH AND PERSISTING THROUGH
MONDAY. RHS BEGIN A DOWNWARD TREND THROUGH MID-WEEK WITH THE
DRIEST CONDITIONS EXPECTED WEDNESDAY. RHS MAY DIP BELOW 30%
TUESDAY, PARTICULARLY IN THE BANGOR REGION AND UPPER PENOBSCOT
VALLEY. QUESTIONS STILL REMAIN AS TO JUST HOW LOW RHS WILL DROP
DEPENDING ON IF A WEAK CLIPPER MOVING JUST OFFSHORE BRINGS ANY
PRECIPITATION TO SOUTHERN AREAS. IN THIS CASE, LIGHT SNOW AND
CLOUDS MAY PREVENT SIGNIFICANT FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS. RHS BELOW
30% LIKELY WEDNESDAY WITH WIND GUSTS OF 15 TO 20 MPH AND MOSTLY
SUNNY SKIES. DRIEST CONDITIONS DOWNEAST. RHS SHOULD BE ON AN
INCREASING TREND LATE WEEK.
