...Increased Risk of Fire Spread Into This Evening...

There is an increased risk for fire spread through this evening
for the Eastern Shore of Maryland. Although minimum relative 
humidity values will be between 40 and 50 percent, conditions 
remain dry, and northwest winds will be 15 to 20 mph with 25 to 
30 mph gusts. These conditions could support the rapid spread of 
any fires that ignite, which could quickly become difficult to 
control.

Outdoor burning is strongly discouraged. Be sure to properly 
extinguish or dispose of any potential ignition sources, including
smoking materials such as cigarette butts. Burn restrictions and 
burn bans are in effect for some areas. Refer to your state's 
forest fire management agency for more information on burn 
restrictions for your local area.
