Fire Danger Statement
National Weather Service San Juan PR
352 AM AST Fri Apr 4 2025

..ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS EXPECTED FOR SOUTHERN AND
WESTERN PUERTO RICO...

Strong winds up to 25 mph with gusts near 40 mph are expected to
continue today across Puerto Rico. Therefore, a Wind Advisory remains
in effect through at least this evening. In addition, a drier air mass
is expected to filter over the islands during the day, and the relative
humidity could drop between 35-45% across portions of southern and western
Puerto Rico early this afternoon. Given the combination of the expected
low relative humidities, dry fuels, windy and gusty conditions, the
potential for rapid fire spread is elevated. The Fire Danger Statement
issued emphasize the heightened risk and urges extra precaution, particularly
for activities that could spark a fire, such as outdoor burning, camping,
or vehicle use in grassy areas.

Fire and emergency officials should be aware that weather
conditions are becoming more conducive for the ignition and
spread of wildfires.

Fire danger statements are issued when fire weather conditions
are approaching, but not meeting or exceeding, Red Flag Warning
criteria.
