Special Weather Statement issued April 30 at 9:00AM EDT by NWS Gray ME
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 much of western
Maine south of the mountains today. This afternoon, relative
humidity values will decrease to low levels between 20 and 30
percent. At the same time, northwest winds between 15 and 20 mph
with frequent gusts to 25 or 30 mph will continue to dry fuels and
increase fire spread potential. Wind gusts are expected to
diminish later this evening with increasing relative humidity
values.
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.
