 The U.S. Drought Monitor reports most of York County was abnormally dry as of readings taken Tuesday. Meanwhile, a part of northern Maine which had been abnormally dry is no longer. In fact, much of northern and western Maine is still under a flood watch today after the heavy rains that fell overnight. The state is reporting first-time claims for unemployment benefits fell last week to 507 from more than 600 the week before. The number continues to illustrate Maine's labor market is very tight.
