There is an increased risk for fire spread on Saturday for New Jersey,
southeastern Pennsylvania, Delaware, and northeastern Maryland.
Minimum relative humidity values will fall to between 25 and 30 percent.
This will be combined with west to northwest winds of 10 to 20 mph
and gusts up to 30 mph. These conditions will support the rapid 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 for your local area.
