WEATHER SUMMARY FOR MAINE AND NEW HAMPSHIRE
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAY ME
912 PM EDT FRI JUL 30 2004

SCATTERED FAIR WEATHER CUMULUS CLOUDS OVER MAINE AND NEW HAMPSHIRE 
DISAPPEARED AS SUNSET NEARED.  FAIRLY DENSE CIRRUS CLOUD FILLED  
AFTERNOON SKIES AND HELPED THE SLOWLY THICKENING HAZE TO DULL THE 
SUNSHINE A BIT.   

AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES REACHED THE LOWER AND MID 80S OVER MOST OF THE 
REGION.  THE SEA BREEZE DROVE THE MERCURY DOWN AS LOW AS THE MID 70S 
ALONG THE MID COAST OF MAINE.

THE BERMUDA HIGH EXTENDS WEST FROM THE ATLANTIC...ACROSS THE 
APPALACHIANS.  WINDS BLOWING CLOCKWISE AROUND THE HIGH ARE BRINGING 
A CONTINUING SUPPLY OF WARM MOIST AIR TO NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND.  A 
WEAK COLD FRONT IS MOVING EAST THROUGH THE CENTRAL GREAT LAKES.  

HUMIDITY WILL CONTINUE TO RISE ACROSS THE REGION TONIGHT...AND 
TEMPERATURES WILL ONLY DROP INTO THE 60S.  FOG WILL FORM AGAIN 
TONIGHT...AND VARYING AMOUNTS OF HIGH CIRRUS CLOUD WILL DRIFT ACROSS 
THE REGION.  THE NORTH AND MOUNTAINS COULD SEE SOME OVERNIGHT 
SHOWERS.

CLOUDS WILL INCREASE SATURDAY AS A WEAK COLD FRONT APPROACHES FROM 
THE WEST AND STIRS UP THE WARM HUMID AIR.  SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS 
WILL DEVELOP ACROSS MUCH OF THE REGION...FIRST AND MOST LIKELY IN 
THE WEST...AND LATER IN THE EAST.  

HAZY WARM AND HUMID WEATHER WILL REMAIN WITH US SATURDAY NIGHT AND 
SUNDAY AS THE FRONT MOVES SLOWLY EAST THROUGH NEW ENGLAND.  CLOUDS 
AND A THREAT OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL REMAIN WITH US AS 
WELL.  SOMEWHAT DRIER AIR WILL MOVE IN BEHIND THE FRONT MONDAY TO 
GIVE MAINE AND NEW HAMPSHIRE A FAIR...WARM...AND LESS HUMID START TO 
THE NEW WEEK.
