There is an “enhanced threat” for wildfires in Carroll County and much of Maryland for Monday afternoon and early evening, according to a Special Weather Statement from the National Weather Service.
The threat extends through much of the Baltimore and D.C. region.
According to the statement, winds gusting between 20 and 25 miles per hour behind a cold front, combined with a drop in humidity and low rainfall amounts over recent days, enhances the “threat for the spread of wildfires.”
