Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Western Maine and New Hampshire
National Weather Service Gray ME
500 AM EDT Sun Apr 20 2025
.DISCUSSION...
Rounds of showers and a few thunderstorms bring additional
wetting rains to mainly southern locations tonight. On Sunday NW
winds will be sustained 20 mph and gusting to 35 mph is possible.
Additionally despite cool temperatures the minimum RH values will
be near 20 percent south of the mountains. Dewpoints may
potentially be a few degrees cooler than forecast if full mixing
is achieved. The greatest fire concerns will be for areas across
southern NH where wetting rains are more localized, and RH values
will be the lowest. Low RH values with lighter winds are likely
on
Monday.
