Rain and Mild Today
Risk of Ice Jam Flooding Increases This Week
Unseasonably mild with rain across Northern and Eastern Maine today as a cold front moves towards the area. The highest rainfall totals will be near the Downeast coast. Areas of fog this morning North, and much of the day for Bangor and Downeast. Precipitation could end briefly as snow for Central and Northern areas tonight. Any accumulations look to be 1 inch or less. Rain showers could linger Downeast through Tuesday morning. No real cold air behind the front, so unseasonably mild (but dry) weather for Tuesday through Thursday. Highs could reach the 50s in some spots once again Wednesday and Thursday.
