…Elevated Fire Weather Danger Predicted Today…
A dry air mass and breezy conditions will combine with very dry
fuels such as grass, leaves, and twigs to create the potential for
uncontrolled fire spread across coastal and interior Maine and
southeast New Hampshire today. This afternoon, relative humidity
values will decrease to levels between 30 to 40 percent. At the
same time, southerly winds 10 to 15 mph with frequent gusts to
25 mph will continue to dry fuels and increase fire spread
potential. Wind gusts are expected to slacken later this evening,
but winds will remain breezy overnight.

with fire officials before engaging in any open burning
activities and comply with all applicable laws and regulations.
