Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Western Maine and New Hampshire
National Weather Service Gray ME
500 AM EDT Sun May 12 2024
.DISCUSSION...
Today will be very similar to Saturday, with good mixing and some
peaks
of sunshine but predominantly cloudy with isolated to
scattered rain showers for most places. Chances for wetting
rainfall remain low. Humidity will tick up as well with continued
onshore flow, falling to around 40 to 50 percent with peak mixing
on Sunday. Monday continues this trend with increasing humidity
and increasing shower chances from the west through the
afternoon.
Southerly flow will bring warmer temperatures, a better chance of
wetting rains, and potential for thunderstorms Tuesday and
Wednesday.
