FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR WESTERN MAINE AND NEW HAMPSHIRE
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAY ME
228 AM EDT SAT MAY 16 2026
DISCUSSION
TODAY WILL WARM UP AND DRY OUT WITH MINIMUM RELATIVE HUMIDITY
VALUES DROPPING INTO THE MID TO UPPER 20S IN SOME LOCATIONS. WINDS
WILL ALSO BE BREEZY, BUT GIVEN THE RECENT RAINFALL IT IS UNLIKELY
THAT SURFACE FUELS WILL BE READILY AVAILABLE FOR IGNITION. SOME
RAIN SHOWERS ARE POSSIBLE THIS EVENING INTO TONIGHT, BUT
WIDESPREAD WETTING RAINS ARE UNLIKELY. SUNDAY WILL ALSO BE WARM
AND DRY, WITH ANOTHER AFTERNOON OF MINIMUM RELATIVE HUMIDITY
VALUES FALLING TO BETWEEN 25 AND 35 PERCENT, AND WESTERLY WINDS
WILL BE BREEZY WITH GUSTS OF 25 TO 35 MPH. CONDITIONS THEN BECOME
HOT AND DRY MONDAY AND TUESDAY WITH A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS COMING ON TUESDAY.
