Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Western Maine and New Hampshire
National Weather Service Gray ME
639 PM EDT Sat May 11 2024

.DISCUSSION...
Excellent recovery is expected tonight with temperatures falling
into the 30s to low-40s. Sunday 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 day. Southerly flow will bring warmer
temperatures, a better chance of wetting rains, and potential
for thunderstorms Tuesday and Wednesday.
