GRAY, Maine (AP) — The worst is over but forecasters say the rain will continue to fall in much of Maine for a few more days.

The National Weather Service says showers are expected over much of the state on Monday and a coastal flood watch remains in effect through tonight.

A flood watch is also in effect for most of Piscataquis County

The state received record-setting heavy rains over the weekend that caused minor flooding, closed roads and hampered weekend activities.

State and local transportation officials said numerous roads were closed or impassable because of standing water.

The weather service says more than 7 inches fell in Bath, with close to 7 inches recorded in Durham, Portland, Lewiston, Auburn and other places in southern Maine.
