...Elevated Fire Weather Danger Predicted Today... A very dry airmass 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 and western Maine today. This afternoon, relative humidity values will decrease to low levels between 20 and 30 percent. At the same time, northwesterly winds between 5-15 mph with a few gusts to 20 mph will continue to dry fuels and increase fire spread potential.
