National Weather Service Gray ME
305 AM EDT Wed Apr 17 2024
.DISCUSSION...
Lighter winds will allow a seabreeze to develop this afternoon,
resulting in a wind shift in the afternoon near the coast and RH
recovery. To the west of the developing seabreeze good mixing is
expected, bringing RH falling down to the 25 to 30 percent range
across most of the interior in the afternoon. A chance of showers
returns Thursday into Thursday night, mainly across NH, with low
potential for wetting rains. Breezy onshore flow Friday with more in
the way of cloud cover. RH should remain in the 40 to 50 percent
range through the day, with a more widespread light rain
overnight into Saturday morning. Period of drier weather looks to
arrive Sat thru Tues. Sun/Mon look to be days where low RH values
and winds overlap. RH falls to around 30 percent in the
afternoon, with WSW winds gusting up to 25 to 30 mph.
