PORTLAND (AP) — Former tropical storm Hermine has been great for surfers but not for farmers in northern New England.
Officials are warning of more rough surf and riptides Tuesday in Maine and New Hampshire. But the storm that’s roiling the ocean has left most of the region thirsting for rain high and dry.
Conditions are extremely dry thanks to below-average rainfall.
It’s already causing trouble for farmers and leading to worries about a short fall foliage season.
There’s no relief in immediate sight. Meteorologist Margaret Curtis from the National Weather Service said the forecast calls for more dry weather this week in northern New England.
