#MEwx Special Statement

Special Statement as of 4:12 am EDT on May 25, 2018

Elevated fire weather conditions expected today.

The combination of warm temperatures in the 80s, low relative

humidity values in the 25 to 35 percent range, and west winds of

10 to 20 mph with higher gusts, will produce conditions that are

favorable for the spread and growth of fires.

Although red flag criteria is not expected to be met, fires that

develop may be difficult to contain. Please remember that a burn

permit is required for all burning.
