System bringing sun to Maine is helping to keep catastrophe in Texas

As we all enjoy more fantastic weather here in New England, Harvey continues to drop inches of rain on Texas.

The Red Cross is sending workers to Texas this weekend.

It’s been a dry second half of the summer in Maine and we need rain, but not the amount they are about to get in parts of south Texas.

As skies change between 1:30 p.m. and 4 p.m., so will the way the sun appears to Mainers hoping to glimpse the eclipse.

Beach weather this week is limited to just a couple of days with much needed rainfall likely late in the week.

There isn’t going to be a big weather system this weekend, but there will be a series of small systems in the general flow.

After a dry July, we need rain and there may be some for coastal areas late tonight.

Depending on where you live, you might be watering your garden a lot or not at all.

High pressure will bring a southerly flow of air to the area for the rest of the week.

Plenty of sunshine and low humidity is in the forecast the next several days.
