Dorset, VT Severe Weather Alertstar_ratehome

...NEAR CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS EXPECTED TODAY...

The combination of southerly wind gusts as high as 20 to 30 mph,
relative humidity values dropping as low as 20 to 30 percent, and
dry fine dead fuels will lead to near critical fire weather
conditions today in Bennington County, mainly for the lower
elevations where snow has completely melted.

If any fires were to start, the weather and fuel conditions could
cause fires to quickly get out of control and be difficult to
contain. For more information about the current fire danger
rating, any burn restrictions, and wildfire prevention and
education, please visit the Vermont state forestry website.
