...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 Capital Region
and lower Penobscot valley today. This afternoon, relative
humidity values will decrease to low levels of 25-30 percent. At
the same time, northwest winds between 20 to 25| mph with
frequent gusts to 45 mph will continue to dry fuels and increase
fire spread potential. Wind gusts are expected to diminish 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.
