Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Western Maine and New Hampshire
National Weather Service Gray ME
500 PM EDT Fri Aug 8 2025
.DISCUSSION...
High pressure remains in control, and for the foreseeable future
the weather should remain dry as a result. Aside from some
isolated showers or storms, this afternoon through the weekend,
which will bring very localized wetting rains, the rest of the
area should see continued drying. Daytime relative humidity
values
between 30 and 50 percent will gradually creep up as we move into
the weekend and moisture increases. We will also see rising
temperatures as well, with much of the area reaching 90 degrees
by
Monday.
