FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR WESTERN MAINE AND NEW HAMPSHIRE
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAY ME
236 AM EDT SAT MAR 28 2026
DISCUSSION
OUTSIDE OF A FEW PASSING SNOW SHOWERS LATE THIS AFTERNOON OR
EVENING, THE WEEKEND WILL FEATURE DRY WEATHER. AFTERNOON RH WILL
BOTTOM OUT INTO THE 20 TO 30 PERCENT RANGE TODAY ACROSS MANY OF
THE VALLEYS AND AREAS SOUTH OF THE MOUNTAINS. A SW WIND SHIFT
SHOULD BRING SLIGHTLY HIGHER HUMIDITY VALUES ON SUNDAY BUT IT WILL
STILL BE FAIRLY DRY WITH WIDESPREAD RH VALUES DROPPING INTO THE
25 TO 35 PERCENT RANGE. TEMPERATURES REMAIN COOL TODAY, BUT SHOULD
RECOVER SLIGHTLY ON SUNDAY. A GREATER CHANCE FOR WIDESPREAD
PRECIPITATION LOOKS POSSIBLE TOWARD THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.
