A very dry airmass 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 New Hampshire and Western Maine today. Relative humidity values will decrease to low levels between 30 and 40 percent. At the same time, northwesterly winds between 10 and 15 mph with frequent gusts to 20 mph, and a few gusts up to 25 mph, will continue to dry fuels and increase fire spread potential. Wind gusts are expected to diminish this evening with increasing relative humidity values. Extra caution should be taken to prevent wildfires.

Never leave an open fire unattended and always extinguish campfires completely before leaving.
