841 AM EDT Mon May 4 2026
...ELEVATED RISK FOR FIRE SPREAD TODAY...
There is an elevated risk for fire spread today across the eastern
shore of Maryland and for all of Delaware. Minimum relative humidity
values will drop to around 25 to 30 percent this afternoon. This will
be accompanied by temperatures rising generally rising into the 70s
and Sorthwest winds around 10 to 15 gusting 20 to 25 mph. These conditions
could support the rapid spread of any fires that ignite, which could
quickly become difficult to control. Conditions improve during the
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. Use caution while using any machinery outdoors,
such as lawn care equipment, that could cause sparks to come in contact
with the dry ground.
This forecast considers meteorological, fuel, and land conditions and
has been developed in coordination with state fire officials.
