...INCREASED FIRE DANGER FROM 10 AM THROUGH 5 PM EST ACROSS THE
LOWER MARYLAND AND VIRGINIA EASTERN SHORE...

The combination relative humidity values falling to between 28
and 35 percent, and west-northwest winds of 15 to 20 mph with
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
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.
