DISCUSSION
EXPECTING GOOD RH RECOVERY TONIGHT WITH LIGHT AND VARIABLE WINDS.
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS OVER MAINE INTO MONDAY, THEN SLOWLY RETREATS
TO THE NORTHEAST THROUGH TUESDAY. THIS WILL RESULT IN DRY
CONDITIONS WITH LIGHT WINDS OVER THE REGION MONDAY. DAYTIME
RELATIVE HUMIDITIES WILL FALL OFF TO 35 TO 45 PERCENT EXCEPT 45-60
PERCENT DOWNEAST THANKS TO A SEABREEZE THAT DEVELOPS LATE MORNING
LASTING INTO THE AFTERNOON. AFTERNOON RHS BOTTOM OUT 20 TO 30
PERCENT ON TUESDAY WITH LOWEST RHS FROM INTERIOR DOWNEAST, BANGOR
REGION TO SOUTHERN AROOSTOOK COUNTY. THE NEXT CHANCE FOR ANY
PRECIPITATION WILL BE SOME LIGHT RAIN FROM LATE WEDNESDAY AND
WEDNESDAY NIGHT. A MORE SIGNIFICANT SOAKING RAINFALL IS LIKELY
THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY.
