The combination relative humidity values falling to between 28

gusts to 25 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

...ELEVATED FIRE DANGER FOR MUCH OF MARYLAND...NORTHERN AND
CENTRAL VIRGINIA...AND EASTERN WEST VIRGINIA EAST OF THE
ALLEGHENY FRONT...INCLUDING WASHINGTON DC AND BALTIMORE MD...
The combination of 10-hour fuel moistures around 7 to 9 percent,
relative humidities around 15 to 25 percent (except 30 to 35
percent for much of Maryland), and wind gusts around 20 to 30 mph
(locally up to 40 mph for northern/higher elevation areas) will
lead to an increased risk for the rapid spread of wildfires today.
This follows a night of poor relative humidity recoveries, despite
high temperatures only reaching into the lower 50s.
The most favorable overlap of dry fuel moisture, lowest relative
humidity, and highest wind gusts is expected over eastern West
Virginia into northern Virginia. To the south, winds will be
lighter, but humidity will be lower. To the north and west, winds
will be higher, but humidity will also be relatively higher.
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
education, please visit your state forestry or environmental
protection website.
