There is an increased risk for rapid fire spread later today
across Delaware. Minimum relative humidity values will be 20 to 25
percent combined with west to northwest winds of 10 to 20 mph
with gusts up to 25 mph. High temperatures today will be in the
upper 50s. These conditions, along with the continued drying of
fine fuels, 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.
