It won’t be a blockbuster, but a few Maine places may go above the expected 3 to 6 inches of accumulation.

A frontal system will slowly cross the area Tuesday night into Wednesday. It will bring a soaking rain storm Tuesday night with total rainfall anywhere three quarters of an inch to over an inch in a few places.

Clearing takes places overnight after a period of rain today.

Actually, with a few small exceptions, most of the country will see quiet weather this week.

Wind has ushered in dryer and chilly or air so temperatures today will not reach 50 degrees or even come close.

On Thursday a cold front will push through the region and bring showers and perhaps even some heavy downpours, and snow in northern areas.

Today’s high will reach into the 60s or 70s but by Saturday we’ll struggle to get into the high 40s.

As you start your day today you can expect a mild afternoon with highs reaching close to 70 in extreme southern Maine, while the rest of the area enjoys readings in the 60s.
