000 FNUS51 KGYX 260959 FWFGYX Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Western Maine and New Hampshire National Weather Service Gray ME 559 AM EDT Fri Apr 26 2024 .DISCUSSION... Mixing begins this morning across the interior, leading to another very dry day. Expect RH values to again fall into the teens to 20s for much of the interior, although there is some uncertainty how much of this dry air is mixed to the surface due to the lighter winds. With these lighter winds, do expect coastal locations to see a seabreeze arrive mid afternoon, causing a southerly wind shift and some lowering temperatures. This may bring some RH recovery ahead of sunset. High pressure begins to slide east Saturday, resulting in a bit more southerly moisture advection into the region. Thus expect dry conditions to continue, but not as dry as midweek. Next chance of rain arrives Saturday night and Sunday, although amounts are currently forecast to fall short of wetting rain criteria.
