...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 much of western
Maine south of the mountains today. This afternoon, relative
humidity values will decrease to low levels between 20 and 30
percent. At the same time, northwest winds between 15 and 20 mph
with frequent gusts to 25 or 30 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.

...ELEVATED RISK FOR FIRE SPREAD TODAY...
Northwest wind gusts of 20 to 25 mph with a few brief gusts up to
30 mph are on top for today. This will combine with minimum
afternoon relative humidity values dropping to between 15 and 30
resulting in an elevated risk for fire spread today.
Exercise caution handling any potential ignition sources, including
machinery, cigarettes, and matches. Any fires that ignite will have
the potential to spread quickly.
This forecast considers meteorological, fuel, and land conditions
and has been developed in coordination with state fire and land
management officials.
