Special Weather Statement issued November 16 at 3:16AM EST by NWS Mount Holly NJ

Effective: Sun November 16, 2025, 3:16 AM
Expires: Sun November 16, 2025, 1:00 PM

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.

The combination relative humidity values falling to between 30 and 40 percent, and strong west-northwest winds of 20 to 25 mph with gusts to 35 mph, will lead to an increased risk for adverse fire behavior later today, especially this afternoon. Outdoor burning is discouraged. 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.

The times presented here are based upon the solunar theory, which is the idea that the movements of fish and other animals are affected by the location of the sun and moon. The major periods are believed to be the times of the greatest animal activity and occur when the moon is directly overhead or underfoot (lunar transits). The minor periods also see increased activity and occur when the moon is rising or setting. The strongest activity occurs during full or new moons, and the weakest during quarter or three quarter moons. This is indicated by the Action Rating.
