Special Weather Statement
Issued: 9:53 AM Aug. 23, 2025 – National Weather Service
...Elevated Fire Weather Danger Predicted Today... A dry air mass and breezy conditions will combine with very dry fuels such as grass, leaves, and twigs to create the potential for uncontrolled fire spread across coastal and interior Maine and southeast New Hampshire today. This afternoon, relative humidity values will decrease to levels between 30 to 40 percent. At the same time, southerly winds 10 to 15 mph with frequent gusts to 25 mph will continue to dry fuels and increase fire spread potential. Wind gusts are expected to slacken later this evening, but winds will remain breezy overnight. 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.
