.DISCUSSION...
A Fire Danger Statement (RFD) remains in effect for the local
fire weather zones. Critically dry fuels and significant soil
moisture deficits persist across portions of most PR and the
USVI, with KBDI values remaining above critical thresholds. Any
fires that develop could spread through dry vegetation,
particularly across the southern coastal plains. Residents and
visitors should avoid outdoor burning and exercise caution when
using open flames or other potential ignition sources.
