...ELEVATED RISK FOR FIRE SPREAD TODAY...

There is an elevated risk for fire spread today for Delaware, the
Eastern Shore of Maryland and eastern Pennsylvania. Minimum
relative humidity values will fall into the 30-40% range. This
will be accompanied by cool and dry northwest winds of 10 to 15
mph with gusts up to 20 to 30 mph. These conditions, along with
the continued drying of fine fuels, could support the rapid spread
of any fires that ignite, which could quickly become difficult to
control. Relative humidities will begin to increase late in the
afternoon as winds will decrease toward sunset.

Outdoor burning is strongly discouraged. Be sure to properly
extinguish or dispose of any potential ignition sources, including
smoking materials such as cigarette butts.

This forecast considers meteorological, fuel, and land conditions
and has been developed in coordination with state fire officials.
