There is an elevated risk for fire spread today for the eastern
shore of Maryland. Minimum relative humidity values will fall
into the 30 percent to 40 percent range early this afternoon.
This will be accompanied by cool and dry northwest winds of 20 to
30 mph with gusts up to 50 mph. These conditions, along with the
continued drying of fine fuels, could support the rapid spread of
any fires that ignite, which could quickly become difficult to
control. Relative humidities will begin to increase towards
evening and winds will decrease, yet remain elevated, after
sunset.

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.
