...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 35 and 45 percent. At the same time Northwest winds
between 10 and 20 mph with frequent gusts to 25 mph will continue
to dry fuels and increase fire spread potential. Wind gusts are
expected to diminish late today with increasing relative humidity
values.
Extra caution should be taken to prevent wildfires. Always consult
with local 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.
