Special Weather Statement issued October 28 at 5:37AM EDT by NWS Mount Holly NJ
There continues to be an increased risk of fire spread today.
Relative humidity values this afternoon will drop to 20 to 30
percent across much of the area. Winds will remain light from the
east to northeast around 5 to 10 mph, turning southeast in the
afternoon with temperatures in the low to mid 60s and abundant
sunshine. Vegetation remains very dry and could potentially become
fuel for fires. These conditions will support the spread of any
fires that ignite, which could quickly become difficult to
control.
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 recover to around 40 to 50 percent on
Tuesday with southerly winds around 5 to 10 mph with gusts up to
15 mph. Regardless, burn restrictions may still be in place given
the very dry conditions and lack of any recent rainfall. Refer to
your state or local fire officials for more information.
