...Elevated Fire Weather Danger Predicted Today...

A dry air mass over the area 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 Northern and
Eastern Maine today. This afternoon, relative humidities will
decrease to between 40 and 45 percent well inland. At the same
time, winds from the southwest between 10 and 15 mph with gusts 20
to 25 mph will continue to dry fuels and increase fire spread
potential.

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.
