..ELEVATED RISK FOR FIRE SPREAD TODAY
THERE IS AN ELEVATED RISK FOR FIRE SPREAD TODAY FOR NEW JERSEY. MINIMUM
RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES WILL BE IN THE 25-35% RANGE. THIS WILL
BE ACCOMPANIED BY EAST-SOUTHEAST WINDS OF 10 TO 15 MPH WITH GUSTS
UP TO 20 MPH. THESE CONDITIONS, ALONG WITH THE CONTINUED DRYING
OF FINE FUELS, COULD SUPPORT THE RAPID SPREAD OF ANY FIRES THAT
IGNITE, WHICH COULD QUICKLY BECOME DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. WINDS
WILL DECREASE TOWARD SUNSET AS RELATIVE HUMIDITIES BEGIN TO
INCREASE.
OUTDOOR BURNING IS STRONGLY DISCOURAGED. BE SURE TO PROPERLY
EXTINGUISH OR DISPOSE OF ANY POTENTIAL IGNITION SOURCES, INCLUDING
SMOKING MATERIALS SUCH AS CIGARETTE BUTTS.
THIS FORECAST CONSIDERS METEOROLOGICAL, FUEL, AND LAND CONDITIONS
AND HAS BEEN DEVELOPED IN COORDINATION WITH STATE FIRE OFFICIALS.
