ANOTHER .5 TO 1.0 CAN BE EXPECTED BY THIS EVENING ACROSS MOST OF
MAINE.

PREV DISCUSSION:
WITH THE ELONGATED LOW STAYING JUST TO OUR S TDA AND SLOWLY

ALONG WITH COOL N...NE OR E SFC WINDS. THE BAND OF HEAVIEST RAIN
IS NOW OVER WRN ME AND WILL SLOWLY SHIFT E TDA...FOCUSING THE
HEAVIEST QPF OVER OUR ERN MOST ZONES. WILL CONT THE FLOOD WARNINGS

WATCH.

GENERALLY USED GFS40 AND A BLEND OF MAV/MET MOS GUIDANCE FOR THE

THAT THE RFC EXTENDS THE HEAVIEST RAINS FURTHER N...WHICH AGREES
WITH CURRENT RADAR.

THE ELONGATED LOW JUST TO OUR S CONTINUES TO SLOWLY SHIFT E THOUGH
PRCP WILL CONT ACROSS THE REGION. THE HEAVIEST RAIN WILL EXIT TO
THE E BUT WE SHOULD STILL SEE ADDITIONAL QPF KEEPING RIVERS AND
STREAMS HIGH. TEMPS WON'T COOL TOO MUCH TNGT OR RISE TOO MUCH ON

NEAR TERM FCST. USED RFC QPF WHICH IS VERY SIMILAR TO HPC QPF.
