A weak disturbance brings light rain across New Hampshire into 
far western Maine through this evening. Temperatures will trend
cooler as an onshore component to surface flow builds, 
culminating in the passage of a frontal system with light rain 
late Friday into Saturday morning. Quiet, mild, and dry weather
returns late Saturday through early next week. Low pressure 
approaches the region toward mid-week, potentially bringing the 
next chance for widespread rain.
