Soaking rain continues overnight into Sunday before clearing late

BANGOR, Maine (WABI) - Rain will continue on and off throughout much of the evening and into tomorrow as a weak low pressure system continues to meander off our coast. While sun won’t be the dominant story as it has been for much of the last two weeks we are in serious need of the rain so I think most of us will trade a sunny weekend for a rainy one considering the drought conditions. While it won’t be an overwhelming amount of rain it certainly will do some damage to the drought. Once it clears later Sunday, the weeks ahead looks calm with much more seasonable (cooler) temps.

Tonight: Rain continues for most with some breaks The rain will continue for a good percentage of everyone overnight as showery activity associated with the slow moving low pressure system continues to inch northeastward. It will likely be heavier along the coast with the possibility to pick up to an inch or so along the coast with a few places inland cashing in to an extent as well depending on where heavier rain may set up. Lows will likely only drop a few degrees in the lower 40s. Breeziness will continue with gusts up to 20-25 mph.

Sunday: Some rain early, then clearing and cooler in the afternoon The rain will continue in the morning with the chance for some wintry mix across colder spots in the west and the far north on Sunday but will begin to move east as the day goes on. The showers should be out of the state by 4 or 5 pm except for maybe extreme eastern Washington county. Temps will be cool once again with highs only reaching the mid to upper 40s for most.

Sunday night: Rain finally fully departs After a soggy few days things settle down and a seasonably cool night arrives with some lingering cloudiness. Temps will be in the upper 30s for most.

Monday and beyond: A dry day and a more settled week Things dry out and Monday looks to be a somewhat cloudy day but otherwise typical November weather with highs in the upper 40s and low 50s. After last week was more active this week looks quieter with few chances of active weather besides the weekend.

We are watching a system for late in the week towards next weekend that could provide some early season snow especially for inland and northern regions. It’s a long way off and there are lots of details to work out but it is something we are watching.

Today : Rainy and cooler. Highs in the 50s. Winds NE at 10-20 mph.

Tonight : Scattered showers otherwise overcast. Lows in the 40s. Winds NE 10-15 mph.

Sunday : Showers early, clearing late. Highs in the upper 40s and low 50s. Winds NE at 10-15 mph.

Sunday night : Rain ends clouds stick around. Lows in the upper 30s and low 40s. Winds NE 5-10 mph then going calm.

Monday : Mostly cloudy but dry. Highs in the upper 40s and low 50s. Winds W 5-10 mph.

Monday night : Still mainly cloudy. Lows in the 30s. Light wind.
