...ELEVATED RISK FOR FIRE SPREAD THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON...

There is an elevated risk for fire spread this afternoon in New
Jersey. Minimum humidity values will fall to around 20 to 30
percent. This will be combined with northwesterly winds of 15 to
25 mph with gusts to around 35 mph. These conditions along with
the continued drying of the fine fuels 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.
