Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Western Maine and New Hampshire
National Weather Service Gray ME
305 AM EDT Sat May 4 2024
.DISCUSSION...
High pressure over Maritime Canada continues to support humid
easterly to southeasterly flow into the coastal plain. This
combined with increasing clouds will limit temperatures today
and keep relative humidity values high. Humidity will remain high,
above 60 percent through Sunday night with a chance for wetting
rains of a quarter inch or more Sunday afternoon and evening.
Thunder is not expected. Drier air and better mixing arrive on
Monday, especially behind a cold front late Monday into Tuesday.
High humidity and rain potential returns mid- to late-week.
