Special Weather Statement issued March 29 at 2:01AM EDT by NWS Baltimore MD/Washington DC

The combination of drying fine fuels, relative humidities around 20 to 30 percent, and wind gusts around 20 to 25 mph will lead to an increased risk for the rapid spread of wildfires today. Following modest early morning relative humidity recovery, the conditions most conducive to fire spread are expected from late morning through early evening (roughly 10 AM to 8 PM EDT). Residents and visitors are urged to properly dispose of cigarette butts, matches, and any other flammable items in appropriate containers. Additionally, exercise caution if operating any equipment that could create sparks and keep vehicles off of dry grass. Most dry grasses, dead leaves, and other tree litter could easily ignite and spread fire quickly. Lastly, remember to obey local burn bans. For more information about wildfire danger, burn restrictions, and wildfire prevention and education, please visit your state forestry or environmental protection website.
