FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR WESTERN MAINE AND NEW HAMPSHIRE
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAY ME
248 AM EDT FRI MAY 8 2026
DISCUSSION
TODAY WILL FEATURE CONTINUED BREEZY OFFSHORE WINDS. TEMPERATURES WILL
ALSO BE SLIGHTLY COOLER THAN YESTERDAY ALONG WITH A HIGHER CHANCE FOR
A STRAY SHOWER OR TWO. WHILE I THINK SHOWERS WILL BE FAIRLY NUMEROUS,
WIDESPREAD WETTING RAINS ARE UNLIKELY. A COOL PATTERN PERSISTS INTO
NEXT WEEK WITH MULTIPLE CHANCES OF WETTING RAINS SATURDAY INTO MONDAY.
