Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Western Maine and New Hampshire
National Weather Service Gray ME
143 PM EDT Wed Aug 6 2025
.DISCUSSION...
A large area of high pressure remains in control of the weather
through this weekend. Widespread wetting rains are not likely
but isolated slow moving showers may provide a local soaking.
This is most likely across the higher terrain of western New
Hampshire. Daytime relative humidity values are expected to fall
to between 35 and 50 percent during the daytime until humidity
begins to increase over the latter half of the weekend.
