Fine fuels remain very dry across Vermont according to the
Vermont Department of Forests, Parks and Recreation. This
combined with low relative humidity values of 18 to 28 percent and
developing south winds of 5 to 15 mph with localized gusts 20 to
25 mph may have an impact on fire weather conditions today. The
period of driest and windiest conditions will occur between 11 AM
and 4 PM today. If any fires were to start the weather and fuel
conditions could cause fires to quickly get out of control and be
difficult to contain.

For more information about the current fire danger rating, any burn
restrictions, and wildfire prevention and education, please visit
