Issued: 6:11 AM Sep. 19, 2025 – National Weather Service
...Elevated Fire Weather Danger Predicted Today... A very dry air mass over the area 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 Northern and Eastern Maine today. This afternoon, relative humidities will decrease to low levels between 30 and 40 percent. At the same time, winds from the northwest around 15 mph with frequent gusts to 25 mph and a few gusts to 30 mph, will continue to dry fuels and increase fire spread potential. Wind gusts are expected to diminish this evening with increasing relative humidity values. However, another dry and breezy day is in store Saturday, with just a bit less wind than Friday, but also slightly lower relative humidities at 25 to 35 percent. 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.
