Special Weather Statement issued November 7 at 2:29AM EST by NWS Mount Holly NJ
There is an elevated risk for fire spread today for Delaware, the
Eastern Shore of Maryland and eastern Pennsylvania. Minimum
relative humidity values will fall into the 30-40% range. This
will be accompanied by mild and dry south-southwest winds of 10
to 15 mph with gusts of 20 to 30 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. Relative humidities will begin to increase
late in the afternoon as winds will decrease toward 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.
This forecast considers meteorological, fuel, and land conditions
and has been developed in coordination with state fire officials.
