Wednesday Fire Danger Alert

 
     Special Weather Statement

National Weather Service Wakefield VA
856 AM EDT Wed Mar 20 2024
Dorchester-Wicomico-Somerset-Inland Worcester-Maryland Beaches-

...INCREASED FIRE DANGER TODAY...

The combination of low relative humidity values between 30 and 35
percent, west to southwest winds gusting to 30 to 35 mph, and dry
fuels will once again result in increased fire danger for the
Lower Eastern Shore of Maryland.

Residents are urged to exercise caution handling any potential
ignition source...including machinery... cigarettes...and matches.
Be sure to properly discard all smoking materials. Any dry grasses
and tree litter that ignite will have the potential to spread
quickly.
