National Weather Service Gray ME
500 AM EST Thu Nov 7 2024

.DISCUSSION...
Temperatures will briefly spike into the 60s south of the
mountains this morning before falling in the afternoon. Humidity
remains rather high however and as a result surface fuels are not
anticipated to dry out too much. Cooler weather is expected
Friday
and especially into the weekend. Gusty northwesterly winds are
expected tomorrow afternoon, with gusts of 35-40 mph likely
across
the area.
