The combination of low relative humidity values of 25 to 35
percent and west winds gusting to 15 to 20 mph will create an
elevated risk for fire spread across the region today.
Exercise caution handling any potential ignition sources, including
machinery, cigarettes, and matches. Any fires that ignite will have
the potential to spread quickly.
This forecast considered meteorological, fuel, and land conditions,
and has been developed in coordination with MA fire and land
management officials.
