####018020837#### FNUS51 KGYX 260258 FWFGYX Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Western Maine and New Hampshire National Weather Service Gray ME 1058 PM EDT Thu Apr 25 2024 .DISCUSSION... A surface inversion sets up tonight, decoupling the surface from winds in the low levels. Tonight should feature calmer winds than last night as high pressure settles overhead, allowing for strong recovery. Friday morning, mixing begins by 10am across the interior, leading to another very dry day. Expect RH values to again fall into the teens to 20s for much of the interior, although there is some uncertainty how much of this dry air is mixed to the surface due to the lighter winds. With these lighter winds, do expect coastal locations to see a seabreeze arrive mid afternoon, causing a southerly wind shift and some lowering temperatures. This may bring some RH recovery ahead of sunset. High pressure begins to slide east Saturday, resulting in a bit more southerly moisture advection into the region. Thus expect dry conditions to continue, but not as dry as midweek. Next chance of rain arrives Saturday night and Sunday, although amounts are currently forecast to fall short of wetting rain criteria.
