More rainfall was expected to move into Maine on late Tuesday and remain through Thursday, according to the National Weather Service stations in Caribou and Gray.
Temperatures were expected to reach the mid- to upper 70s during the day Tuesday but fall into the mid- to low 60s Wednesday as rain moves through the state, forecasters said Monday.
Clouds might clear out Friday if Hurricane Irma does not head up the East Coast, as some weather models have shown. Irma’s probable path Monday morning on the National Hurricane Center website showed it striking Puerto Rico on Tuesday, the Dominican Republic on Wednesday and Cuba on Thursday. When Irma would hit Florida and the Gulf states, if it continues its current trajectory, was uncertain on Labor Day.
Heavy rain blanketed Maine overnight Sunday into Monday with coastal areas as well as western and northern Aroostook County receiving the most rainfall, forecasters said.
