Kent MD-Queen Annes-Talbot-Caroline-

316 AM EST Sun Nov 16 2025
There is an elevated risk for fire spread today for the eastern
shore of Maryland. Minimum relative humidity values will fall
into the 30 percent to 40 percent range early this afternoon.
This will be accompanied by cool and dry northwest winds of 20 to
30 mph with gusts up to 50 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. Relative humidities will begin to increase towards
evening and winds will decrease, yet remain elevated, after
sunset.
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.

...INCREASED FIRE DANGER FROM 11 AM THROUGH 6 PM EST ACROSS THE
LOWER MARYLAND AND VIRGINIA EASTERN SHORE.
The combination relative humidity values falling to between 30 and
40 percent, and strong west-northwest winds of 20 to 25 mph with
gusts to 35 mph, will lead to an increased risk for adverse fire
behavior later today, especially this afternoon.
Outdoor burning is discouraged. Residents and visitors are urged
to properly dispose of cigarette butts, matches, and any other
flammable items in appropriate containers. Additionally, exercise
caution if operating any equipment that could create sparks and
keep vehicles off of dry grass. Most dry grasses, dead leaves, and
other tree litter could easily ignite and spread fire quickly.
Lastly, remember to obey local burn bans. For more information about
wildfire danger, burn restrictions, and wildfire prevention and

The combination of 10-hour fuel moistures around 8 to 10 percent,

increased risk for the rapid spread of wildfires today.
Temperatures will reach the middle 50s around midday before
dropping. Poor RH recoveries are expected tonight, especially over
the higher elevations.
Residents and visitors are urged to properly dispose of cigarette
butts, matches, and any other flammable items in appropriate
