evening in the wake of a departing cold front. Relative humidity
values may drop to as low as 20 to 25 percent in strong northwest
winds of around 15 to 20 mph, with gusts up to 25 to 30 mph,
especially at higher elevations. This will result in the rapid
drying of fine fuels.
Residents and visitors are urged to exercise caution if handling
open flames or equipment that creates sparks. Also, dispose of
cigarette butts, matches, and other flammable items in appropriate
containers. Keep vehicles off of dry grass and obey local burn bans.
Most dry grasses, dead leaves, and other tree litter could easily
ignite and spread fire quickly.
For more information about wildfire danger, burn restrictions,
and wildfire prevention and education, please visit your state's
forestry or environmental protection website.Special Weather Statement2024-03-28T16:49:00-04:002024-03-28T16:49:00-04:002024-03-28T16:49:00-04:002024-03-28T21:00:00-04:00ActualAlertMetExpectedModerateObservedGarrett; Washington; Extreme Western Allegany; Central and Eastern AlleganySAME024023SAME024043SAME024001UGCMDZ001UGCMDZ003UGCMDZ501UGCMDZ502AWIPSidentifierSPSLWXWMOidentifierWWUS81 KLWX 282049NWSheadlineELEVATED FIRE DANGER UNTIL 9 PM THIS EVENING FOR WESTERN MARYLANDBLOCKCHANNELEASBLOCKCHANNELNWEMBLOCKCHANNELCMASEAS-ORGWXR
