...Elevated Fire Weather Danger Predicted Tomorrow...
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 New Hampshire and
Western Maine tomorrow. Relative humidity values will decrease to
low levels between 30 and 40 percent. At the same time,
northwesterly winds between 10 and 15 mph with frequent gusts to
20 mph, and a few gusts up to 25 mph, will continue to dry fuels
and increase fire spread potential. Wind gusts are expected to
diminish tomorrow 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.

...Fire Weather Concerns Exist Across the Champlain Vally of
northern New York through much of Vermont on Friday...
Fuels remain very dry across northern New York and Vermont
according to the Vermont Department of Forests, Parks and
Recreation and the New York State Department of Environmental
Conservation. This, combined with low relative humidity values of
around 30 percent and northerly winds of 10 to 20 mph with gusts
up to 25 mph may have an impact on fire weather conditions
tomorrow. If any fires were to start, the weather and fuel
conditions could cause fires to quickly get out of control and be
difficult to contain.
For more information about the current fire danger rating, any burn
restrictions, and wildfire prevention and education, please visit
your state forestry or environmental protection website.
