243 AM EDT FRI AUG 7 2026
DISCUSSION
AFTERNOON RHS WILL BE A BIT HIGHER TODAY AND NOTABLY HIGHER OVER
THE WEEKEND. CHANCE OF STORMS RETURNS TODAY (MAINLY DOWNEAST AND
AROUND BANGOR). THE BETTER SHOT AT STORMS APPEARS TO BE SATURDAY
AND SUNDAY. SOME AREAS WILL RECEIVE WETTING RAINS, BUT PROBABLY
NOT EVERYWHERE DUE TO THE HIT AND MISS NATURE OF THE SHOWERS AND
STORMS. LIGHT WINDS THE NEXT FEW DAYS.
