Special Weather Statement issued October 24 at 2:24PM EDT by NWS Mount Holly NJ
There continues to be an increased risk of fire spread into this
evening. Relative humidity values have dropped to the 30 to 40
percent range across much of the area. These low relative humidity
values are combined with north to northwest winds around 15 mph
with 20 to 25 mph gusts, temperatures in the mid to upper 60s, and
abundant sunshine. These conditions will support the spread of
any fires that ignite, which could quickly become difficult to
control. Winds will diminish fairly quickly this evening after
sunset.
Outdoor burning is strongly discouraged. Be sure to properly
extinguish or dispose of any potential ignition sources, including
smoking materials such as cigarette butts. Refer to your state's
forest fire management agency for more information on burn
restrictions in your local area.
Relative humidity values will be lower on Friday, but winds
should not be as strong. Burn restrictions may still be in place
given the very dry conditions and lack of any recent rainfall.
