Special Weather Statement National Weather Service Gray ME 659 AM EDT Tue Apr 28 2026 ...Elevated Fire Weather Danger Predicted Today... A very dry air mass and breezy conditions will combine with dead and dry fuels such as grass, leaves, and twigs to create the potential for uncontrolled fire spread across southern New Hampshire today. Afternoon relative humidity values will decrease to low levels between 25-35 percent away from the coastline. At the same time, southeasterly winds between 5-15 mph with frequent gusts to 20-25 mph will continue to dry fuels and increase fire spread potential. Wind gusts are expected to diminish later this evening with increasing relative humidity values. Extra caution should be taken to prevent wildfires. Always consult with fire officials before engaging in any open burning activities and comply with all applicable laws and regulations. Never leave an open fire unattended and always extinguish campfires completely before leaving.
