The combination of 10 hour fuel moistures around 8 to 10 percent
relative humidities around 30 to 39 percent, and wind gusts
around 20 to 25 mph will lead to an increased risk for the rapid
spread of wildfires on Monday.
Residents and visitors are urged to properly dispose of cigarette
butts, matches, and any other flammable items in appropriate
containers. Additionally, exercise caution if operating any
equipment that could create sparks and keep vehicles off of dry
grass. Most dry grasses, dead leaves, and other tree litter could
easily ignite and spread fire quickly.
Lastly, remember to obey local burn bans. For more information about
wildfire danger, burn restrictions, and wildfire prevention and
education, please visit your state forestry or environmental
protection website.

Coastal Waters Forecast
National Weather Service Baltimore MD/Washington DC
FOR THE TIDAL POTOMAC AND MD PORTION OF THE CHESAPEAKE BAY.
Tidal Potomac River and Maryland portion of Chesapeake Bay. Forecasts of wave heights do not include effects of wind direction relative to tidal currents. Expect higher waves when winds are blowing against the tidal flow. Waves flat where waters are iced over. High pressure will build quickly north and east of the area today before a warm front moves through later this evening. Later in the week, high pressure builds to the south while a frontal zone remains over the Great Lakes into New England. Small Craft Advisories may be needed Monday evening and at times each afternoon Tuesday through Thursday.
