Some locations have seen 1-3"+ of rainfall, but with reports of much less within a few miles of those observations. THE THREAT OF FLASH FLOODING is mainly to the north, where mid-level instability could ignite storms. Heavy rain that has fallen in the past few days improves the chance for flash flooding. The tote roads and trails over the interior have taken a beating in spots, and may be washed out in certain areas. NORTHERN AREAS have the best chance to see scattered to more numerous shower/storm activity through Sunday, with scattered to widely scattered showers on Monday. WESTERN AND EASTERN AREAS can expect scattered showers and the risk of a storm that may bring localized flash flooding. If the sun comes out for a period of time, the thunder guns may accompany it. SOUTHERN AREAS may escape with a just and isolated threat of a shower and a remote chance of a storm later in the afternoon. A southwest flow cools the shores from Cape Elizabeth northeastward as the tide rises in the afternoon. EXTENDED OUTLOOK: Showers are possible on Monday for the north, west, and east, with breezy conditions everywhere as the northwest wind pours in to dry the state out. Tuesday and Wednesday are expected to be dry. An unsettled end of the week into Memorial Day weekend appears possible, but forecast confidence is very low given the wide range of possibilities.
