Special Weather Statement issued April 7 at 8:42AM EDT by NWS Mount Holly NJ
There is an elevated risk for fire spread today for the Eastern
Shore of Maryland and Delaware. Minimum relative humidity values
will drop to around 25 percent this afternoon. This will be
accompanied by northwesterly winds 15 to 20 mph with gusts 25 to
35 mph. These conditions, along with the continued drying of fine
fuels, could support the rapid spread of any fires that ignite,
which could quickly become difficult to control. Conditions
improve this evening as the wind diminishes and the relative
humidity increases.
Outdoor burning is strongly discouraged. Be sure to properly
extinguish or dispose of any potential ignition sources, including
smoking materials such as cigarette butts.
This forecast considers meteorological, fuel, and land conditions
and has been developed in coordination with state fire officials.
