Elevated fire danger Monday

Gusty winds and low humidity will lead to an elevated fire danger

Good Sunday night!

After a sunny weekend, clouds will increase overnight as a front moves through the region. Forecast models suggest a few showers may develop Monday, but much of that rain may evaporate before reaching the ground due to very dry air near the surface.

Winds will ramp up Monday as the front passes, with occasional gusts over 40 mph.

There is also an elevated wildfire risk Monday. Vegetation has dried out from the lack of recent rainfall, and the combination of gusty winds and low humidity will make conditions more favorable for fire spread. It’s best to avoid any outdoor burning.

A major warmup is expected by midweek as high pressure builds in. I’m expecting Maryland to hit 90° for the first time since September 6, 2025—that’s a stretch of 218 days!

Stay cool,
Dylan
