Special Weather Statement issued March 8 at 1:50AM EST by NWS Mount Holly NJ

There is an increased risk for fire spread today in New Jersey,
southeastern Pennsylvania, Delaware, and northeastern Maryland.
Minimum relative humidity values will fall to between 20 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.
