...ENHANCED FIRE DANGER ACROSS DELMARVA AND SOUTHERN NEW
JERSEY TODAY...

IN THE WAKE OF THE COLD FRONT THAT PUSHED THROUGH LAST EVENING...A
VERY DRY AIR MASS WILL BE IN PLACE OVER THE REGION TODAY. MINIMUM
RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES ACROSS NORTHEASTERN
MARYLAND...DELAWARE...AND SOUTHERN NEW JERSEY WILL RANGE FROM 18
PERCENT IN SOUTHERN DELAWARE TO 25 PERCENT IN PORTIONS OF SOUTHERN
NEW JERSEY. IN ADDITION...GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS OF 20 TO 30 MPH
WITH GUSTS AROUND 45 MPH WILL CONTINUE FOR MUCH OF THE DAY. 

RECENT PRECIPITATION WILL KEEP FUEL MOISTURE LEVELS ABOVE CRITICAL
THRESHOLDS.

HOWEVER...GIVEN THE DRY AND WINDY CONDITIONS...IF A FIRE IS
STARTED...RAPID SPREAD IS POSSIBLE ESPECIALLY IN FINE FUELS.
ANYONE WORKING OUTSIDE IS URGED TO EXERCISE FIRE PREVENTION.
