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 western Maine today.
This afternoon, relative humidity values will decrease to low levels between 40 to 35 percent. At the same time, southerly winds between 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 remain breezy this evening while relative humidity values will increase overnight.
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.
