Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Western Maine and New Hampshire
National Weather Service Gray ME
712 PM EDT Fri Apr 26 2024
.DISCUSSION...
Relative humidity recovers tonight ahead of another dry day
Saturday. Temperatures are expected to be warmer across the area,
pushing into the mid 60s for most locations. Expect RH values to
again fall into the 20s for much of the interior. Winds will be
lighter still, and expect another seabreeze to occur into the mid
to late afternoon. This may bring some RH recovery ahead of
sunset. High pressure begins to slide east tomorrow, resulting in
a bit more southerly moisture moving into the region. Next chance
of rain arrives Saturday night and Sunday, although amounts are
currently forecast to fall short of wetting rains. Measurable
amounts will be possible in New Hampshire, and trace amounts in
southern Maine. The next chance for wetting rains may not occur
until Tuesday.
