Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Western Maine and New Hampshire
National Weather Service Gray ME
137 AM EDT Mon Sep 1 2025

.DISCUSSION...
Dry weather is expected through much of the work week. Some
mountain showers are possible, but wetting rains are unlikely.
During the afternoons minimum relative humidity values will drop
to between 35 and 45 percent. Winds remain light however and good
relative humidity recovery is expected each night with radiational
cooling. Expanding drought conditions are likely for at least
parts of the forecast area as our next chance of wetting rains
isn`t until late in the week.
