FNUS51 KGYX 192101 FWFGYX Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Western Maine and New Hampshire National Weather Service Gray ME 500 PM EDT Fri Apr 19 2024 .DISCUSSION... A frontal complex crosses New England through Saturday bringing scattered / non-wetting rain showers to the mountains and toward the Connecticut River Valley, but more likely a wetting rainfall between a quarter and a half inch of rain for southern New Hampshire, southwest Maine, and along the Midcoast. Most of this rain exits east Saturday morning, with conditions warming and drying rapidly through the afternoon as a much drier air mass filters in behind the system other than scattered gusty showers. Thus starts a period of very dry weather and deep daily mixing, through around Tuesday. The driest day appears to be likely on Monday, when RH is forecast to fall into the 20s and teens percent with gusty winds. The next widespread chance of rain is forecast for the middle of next week.
