500 AM EDT Tue Oct 7 2025
.DISCUSSION...
Today will be another warm and dry day across northern New
England. Temperatures in the 80s and minimum relative humidity
values falling to between 40 and 50 percent will combine with
gusty south southwest winds to bring elevated fire weather
concerns through the early evening. Then a widespread wetting
rain arrives and rainfall will continue into the first part of
Wednesday. Once rain clears the area, the weather will turn
cooler and drier to finish the work week.
