.DISCUSSION...
Today will be mostly sunny and dry with a very light northerly
breeze and Saturday partly sunny north and mostly sunny south
with a light southerly breeze. Sunday will be partly to mostly
cloudy. An increasing southerly wind on Sunday may increase
wildfire risk, especially Downeast where it has been very dry. A
wetting rain is expected Monday, mainly across the west and north,
as a frontal system moves in. Tuesday will be partly cloudy with
a chance for some lingering shower or isolated thunderstorms over
central and northern areas.
