...ELEVATED FIRE DANGER FOR NORTHERN MARYLAND AND WESTERN MINERAL
COUNTY WV TODAY...

The combination of 10-hour fuel moistures around 8 to 10 percent,
minimum relative humidities around 30 to 35 percent, and
northwesterly wind gusts around 40 to 50 mph will lead to an
increased risk for the rapid spread of wildfires today.

Temperatures will reach the middle 50s around midday before
dropping. Poor RH recoveries are expected tonight, especially over
the higher elevations.

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.

...INCREASED FIRE DANGER FROM SUNDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH
SUNDAY EVENING...

A dry air mass moves into the area behind a departing cold front
on Sunday. With warm temperatures remaining in place, relative
humidity values will drop into the 20 to 25 percent range across
the North Carolina foothills and Piedmont. Northwest wind gusts to
around 25 mph will continue into the afternoon as well. The
combination of low relative humidity and gusty winds will lead to
Increased Fire Danger across these areas.

Please refer to your local burn permitting authorities on whether
you can burn today. If you do burn, use extreme caution since
fires can quickly get out of hand under these conditions.
