Special Weather Statement issued November 18 at 3:35AM EST by NWS Mount Holly NJ
Elevated fire weather conditions are expected today across
portions of New Jersey, Delaware, and northeastern Maryland.
Relative humidity values are forecast to drop to around 30 to 40
percent this afternoon, lowest in southern New Jersey and
portions of the northern Delmarva peninsula. Northwest winds will
increase to around 15 to 20 mph with gusts to around 25 to 30
mph. Antecedent fuel conditions remain dry due to a lack of
rainfall over the past several weeks.
Residents and visitors are urged to exercise caution if handling
any potential fire ignition sources, such as open flames,
cigarettes, matches, and equipment that creates sparks. Dispose
of smoking materials and other flammable items in appropriate
containers. Keep vehicles off of dry grass and obey local burn
bans. Dry grasses, dead leaves, and other tree litter could
easily ignite and spread fire quickly.
Outdoor burning is strongly discouraged. For more information about
wildfire danger, burn restrictions, and wildfire prevention and
education, please visit your state's forestry or environmental
protection website.
