Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Western Maine and New Hampshire
National Weather Service Gray ME
328 AM EDT Wed May 29 2024

.DISCUSSION...
There is the chance for a few showers this afternoon along the
ME/NH border, but wetting rain is not expected. Another round of
showers will be possible overnight in southern NH and the ME
coast. After, northerly flow is expected which will lead to
daytime Min R.H. values mostly in the 30-40 percent range away
from the coast through the weekend. Recoveries are still expected
to be excellent at night. No significant winds during this
period, leading to the chance for daily afternoon seabreeze.
