Maine Special Weather Statement | Effective 04/11/2026 03:55

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 the southwestern Maine today. This afternoon, relative humidity values will decrease to low levels between 25 and 35 percent. At the same time, northwest winds between 15 and 25 mph with frequent gusts to 35 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.
