FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR WESTERN MAINE AND NEW HAMPSHIRE
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAY ME
303 AM EDT FRI APR 24 2026
DISCUSSION
GUSTS TODAY WON'T BE AS STRONG AS THURSDAY, BUT LOW LEVEL DRY AIR
WILL BRING ANOTHER DECENT DRYING DAY WITH MORE IN THE WAY OF
CLOUD COVER, ESPECIALLY OVER PORTIONS OF WESTERN MAINE.
A STRETCH OF MOSTLY DRY WEATHER IS FORECAST THROUGH THE WEEKEND
INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. WHILE DRY, SURFACE WINDS AND MIXING APPEAR
TO REMAIN LIGHT. THIS MAY PROMOTE AFTERNOON SEA BREEZE WIND SHIFTS
ALONG THE COAST. THE BETTER CHANCE FOR THE NEXT WIDESPREAD
RAINFALL IS TOWARD THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.
