FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR WESTERN MAINE AND NEW HAMPSHIRE
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAY ME
227 PM EDT TUE OCT 27 2026
DISCUSSION
DRY WEATHER IS FORECAST TO CONTINUE FOR THE NEXT WEEK. THERE MAY BE
A STRAY SHOWER ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS LATE THURSDAY OR FRIDAY, BUT
WETTING RAINS ARE UNLIKELY. MINIMUM RELATIVE HUMIDITY WEDNESDAY WILL
BE SIMILAR TO TODAY, WITH READINGS BOTTOMING OUT AROUND THE MID 20S
TO 30S. INCREASING TEMPERATURES LATE IN THE WEEK WILL ALSO COME WITH
INCREASING MOISTURE. OVERNIGHTS WILL HOWEVER FEATURE STRONG RELATIVE
HUMIDITY RECOVERY.
