The combination of 10-hour fuel moistures around 8 to 10 percent, minimum relative humidities around 30 to 35 percent, and northwesterly wind gusts around 40 to 50 mph will lead to an increased risk for the rapid spread of wildfires today. Temperatures will reach the middle 50s around midday before dropping. Poor RH recoveries are expected tonight, especially over the higher elevations. 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.

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.
