..ELEVATED RISK FOR FIRE SPREAD TODAY
THERE IS AN ELEVATED RISK FOR FIRE SPREAD TODAY FOR THE EASTERN
SHORE OF MARYLAND. MINIMUM RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES WILL FALL TO
AROUND 30 PERCENT. THIS WILL BE ACCOMPANIED BY SOUTHWEST WINDS
AROUND 15 TO 20 MPH WITH GUSTS UP TO 25 MPH. THESE CONDITIONS,
ALONG WITH THE CONTINUING DRYING OF FINE FUELS, COULD SUPPORT THE
RAPID SPREAD OF ANY FIRES THAT IGNITE, WHICH COULD QUICKLY BECOME
DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. CONDITIONS IMPROVE CLOSE TO SUNSET AS WINDS
DECREASE AND RHS INCREASE.
OUTDOOR BURNING IS STRONGLY DISCOURAGED. BE SURE TO PROPERLY
EXTINGUISH OR DISPOSE OF ANY POTENTIAL IGNITION SOURCES, INCLUDING
SMOKING MATERIALS SUCH AS CIGARETTE BUTTS.
THIS FORECAST CONSIDERS METEOROLOGICAL, FUEL, AND LAND CONDITIONS
AND HAS BEEN DEVELOPED IN COORDINATION WITH STATE FIRE OFFICIALS.
