The combination of minimum relative humidity values dropping
between 25 and 35 percent away from the immediate south coast
coupled with southerly wind gusts of 25 to 30 mph will result in
elevated fire weather concerns on Tuesday.
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, CT,
and RI fire and land management officials.
