As August ends, we are still very dry with not much hope, they say, of any relief in the near future. The tropics are fired up with three systems twirling around right now. Hurricane Gaston is a Category 2 out in the shipping lanes and all we’ll see out of it is a few waves. Then there is TD 8 near North Carolina, and TD 9, which is near Florida and could dump six to 10 inches there. Maybe we should do a little rain dance here in the southern/Midcoast areas of Maine?
