the sun, and check up on relatives and neighbors.
Monitor the latest forecasts and warnings for updates.
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. 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.
