FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR WESTERN MAINE AND NEW HAMPSHIRE
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAY ME
230 PM EDT FRI MAY 15 2026
DISCUSSION
WIDESPREAD WETTING RAIN IS COMING TO AN END THIS EVENING. SHOWERS
WILL TAPER OFF AFTER SUNSET AND AS THE STORM CENTER PULLS OFF TO THE
EAST. SATURDAY 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 LATE SATURDAY, 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. WESTERLY WINDS WILL BE BREEZY ON SUNDAY. CONDITIONS
THEN BECOME HOT AND DRY MONDAY AND TUESDAY.
