Special Weather Statement
National Weather Service Gray ME

Elevated Fire Weather Danger Predicted Today.
A very dry air mass and breezy conditions will combine with dead
and dry fuels such as grass, leaves, and twigs to create the
potential for uncontrolled fire spread across New Hampshire and
Maine today. This afternoon, relative humidity values will
decrease to low levels between 20 to 30 percent. At the same
time, northwest winds between 15 to 20 mph with frequent gusts of
25 to 30 mph will continue to dry fuels and increase fire spread
potential. Wind gusts are expected to diminish after sunset with
increasing relative humidity values.
Extra caution should be taken to prevent wildfires. Always consult
with fire officials before engaging in any open burning activities
and comply with all applicable laws and regulations. Never leave
an open fire unattended and always extinguish campfires completely
before leaving.
