Special Weather Statement
Urgency:
Expected
Effective:
April 28, 2026 - 3:59am
Expires:
April 28, 2026 - 5:00pm
Description:
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.
