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 much of western Maine south of the mountains today. This afternoon, relative

humidity values will decrease to low levels between 20 and 30

percent. At the same time, northwest winds between 15 and 20 mph

with frequent gusts to 25 or 30 mph will continue to dry fuels and

increase fire spread potential. Wind gusts are expected to

diminish later this evening 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.
