..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 THE NEW HAMPSHIRE
AND MOST OF WESTERN MAINE TODAY. THIS AFTERNOON, RELATIVE
HUMIDITY VALUES WILL DECREASE TO LOW LEVELS BETWEEN 40 AND 50
PERCENT. AT THE SAME TIME, SOUTH SOUTHWEST 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
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.
