Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Western Maine and New Hampshire

1011 AM EDT Sat May 25 2024
.DISCUSSION...
Mostly sunny today as temperatures again warm into the 70s for
much of the area. Mixing starts early, and this will lead to
drying at the surface with RH values falling to 25 to 35 percent
away from the coast. Along the coast, a seabreeze will develop
and push inland early to mid afternoon. This will also help in
some RH recovery with cooler temperatures along the immediate
coast. A round of showers arrives overnight into Sunday, but
is not expected to be wetting. Some additional showers or
thunderstorms develop Sunday afternoon,
focused on southern NH. These will have the potential to contain
heavy rain, but may be very isolated. The next chance of more
widespread wetting rains arrives Monday into Monday night.
