Warm temperatures from the mid 60s to mid 70s, along with
southwest winds gusting 35 to 40 mph, and RH values of 20 to 30
percent will result in elevated fire weather conditions through

damage, leading to power line fires. The potential for wildfires
will be most favored where fine fuels have dried out and where
green up is not as advanced. Please check burning restrictions and
fire danger before doing any burning today.

...ELEVATED FIRE DANGER FOR WESTERN MARYLAND...EASTERN WEST

The combination of 10 hour fuel moistures of 8 to 10 percent,
relative humidities around 25 percent, and wind gusts of 30 to
35 mph will lead to an increased risk for the rapid spread of
wildfires.
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.

...ELEVATED RISK FOR FIRE SPREAD TODAY...
There is an elevated risk for fire spread today across the eastern

values will drop to around 25 to 30 percent this afternoon. This will
be accompanied by temperatures rising generally rising into the 70s
and Sorthwest winds around 10 to 15 gusting 20 to 25 mph. These conditions
could support the rapid spread of any fires that ignite, which could
quickly become difficult to control. Conditions improve during the
evening as the wind diminishes and the relative humidity increases.
Outdoor burning is strongly discouraged. Be sure to properly extinguish
or dispose of any potential ignition sources, including smoking materials
such as cigarette butts. Use caution while using any machinery outdoors,
such as lawn care equipment, that could cause sparks to come in contact
