There is an increased risk for rapid fire spread this afternoon
across Delaware. Minimum relative humidity values will be around
30 to 35 percent combined with southwest winds of 10 to 20 mph
with gusts up to 30 mph. High temperatures will be near 80
degrees. 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.
