Special Statement

Special Statement as of 3:38 am EDT on April 20, 2016

Elevated fire danger this afternoon.

Today temperatures will climb into the 50s to near 60

degrees combining with a drier air mass to produce relative

humidity values near 25 percent. Northwest winds gusting to 20 or

25 mph early in the day will gradually diminish to around 10 mph

by afternoon. This could lead to an elevated fire danger this

afternoon. Recent rainfall has helped to wet some of the brush on

the ground but this should dry out quickly this afternoon. While

red flag conditions may not be met across for coastal

areas western Maine... and northern New Hampshire... open burning

is not advised today.
