Saturday 7:00am.. A slow moving cold front was located north-south across Maine this morning and will move eastward to lie through the Gulf of St Lawrence overnight tonight. Weak low pressure will track northward along the front and through the Maritimes on Sunday then high pressure builds in for Monday. Long range models are still not coming together on mid week weather but looks like a coastal low pressure system will approach the region Tuesday evening into Wednesday. Just how deep and the exact track of this system is still unclear but there is a potential for another rainfall event for Tuesday night. High pressure builds in for Thursday and yet another coastal low pressure system will be threatening the region on Friday.
