...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 western Maine today. This afternoon, relative humidity values will decrease to low levels between 25 and 35 percent. At the same time, southwest winds between 10 to 15 mph with frequent gusts to 20 mph will continue to dry fuels and increase fire spread potential.
