...Increased Fire Danger Today For Maryland Lower Eastern Shore
from 10 AM to 8 PM EDT...

The combination of low relative humidity values in the 20 to 25
percent range, dry fuels, and NW winds gusting up to 20-25 mph
will result in an increased risk for the rapid spread of wildfires
through early this evening across 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.
