FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR WESTERN MAINE AND NEW HAMPSHIRE
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAY ME
238 PM EDT SAT MAR 28 2026
DISCUSSION
OUTSIDE OF A FEW PASSING SNOW SHOWERS LATE THIS AFTERNOON OR
EVENING, THE WEEKEND WILL FEATURE DRY WEATHER. 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. A GREATER CHANCE FOR WIDESPREAD
PRECIPITATION LOOKS POSSIBLE TOWARD THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.
