Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Western Maine and New Hampshire
National Weather Service Gray ME
244 AM EDT Thu Apr 25 2024
.DISCUSSION...
Deep mixing is expected today but winds aloft will be lighter
than earlier in the week. So, while RH values fall well into the
teens to 20s percent range, west to northwesterly winds will
generally max out into the 20-25 mph range. Do expect a seabreeze
to swap wind directions along the immediate coast and a bit into
the interior past noontime. In addition, this would lower
temperatures, aiding in some RH recovery. Warming trend goes into
the weekend, with dry weather continuing. Winds look to remain 15
to 20 mph during the afternoons. Next chance for scattered showers
returns for Saturday night through Wednesday but no widespread
wetting rains are currently anticipated.
