...Elevated Fire Weather Danger Predicted Today...

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 New Hampshire
today. This afternoon, relative humidity values will decrease to
low levels between 25 and 35 percent. At the same time, southwest
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.
