National Weather Service Gray ME
500 AM EDT Mon Oct 13 2025
.DISCUSSION...
Steady rain pushes across southern and central NH and southern ME
today. Forecast amounts have trended down to the north, with
wetting rain hard to come by for locations north of a Portland to
Fryeburg to Whitefield, NH line. Greatest amounts around an inch
are still expected in far southern NH and the York Co coast.
Gusty
NE winds today will subside for Tuesday as just a few showers
remain. Drier weather then returns midweek into late week.
Temperatures do trend cooler later this week, limiting daytime
heating with overnight lows in the 30s for most of the area.
