Monday
The exact timing of the rain remains uncertain, but it is likely from Sunday night to mid-afternoon Monday any time when a cold front sweeps in. The front would stretch from Florida to Maine throughout the morning. By midday the front is offshore and dry conditions should be stable in most cases.
“Moderate to heavy rainfall will continue in parts of New England with the heaviest total precipitation (in excess of an inch) across northeastern Maine on Monday,” WPC said in its forecast. said in his forecast.
Lake-effect snow is also possible east of the Great Lakes.
As of Friday afternoon, low pressure is expected to form along the coast that will be far enough offshore to prevent major metro areas from seeing increased rainfall.
However, the storm system will strengthen winds across the region into Tuesday.
Tuesday
The coastal lowlands will be windy in the Northeast.
According to the New York NWS forecast, northwesterly winds of 15 to 25 mph with speeds of 25 to 35 mph, are strongest near the coast.

In the Pacific Northwest, it could be a little warmer. However, another storm system will move in early Tuesday morning, bringing more rain to the saturated area.
Wednesday
