Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Western Maine and New Hampshire
National Weather Service Gray ME
501 PM EDT Sat Oct 19 2024
.DISCUSSION...
Dry weather persists into at least mid-week. Of note will be
lower daytime RH values Sunday and Monday. RH falls to the 25 to
35 percent range Sunday afternoon for much of southern NH and far
southern ME. S to SW winds increase into the afternoon, but
remain
below 20 mph. Warming trend continues into Monday with more
breeze
expected. Increased mixing and dry air aloft should lead to
another day of lowered RH values, but currently not expected to
be
as low as Sunday. Shower chances mid week appear to benefit the
mountains the most, with uncertainty regarding wetting rain
coverage for the rest of the forecast area. Cooler more
seasonable
temperatures return late week behind a passing cold front Wed
night/Thursday.
