Special Weather Statement issued April 28 at 6:59AM EDT by NWS Gray ME

Effective: Tue April 28, 2026, 6:59 AM
Expires: Tue April 28, 2026, 8:00 PM

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 the coast to the foothills today. This afternoon, relative humidity values will decrease to low levels between 20 to 25 percent. At the same time, southeast winds between 10 to 15 mph with frequent gusts to 20 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.
