Expected
Effective:
April 25, 2025 - 1:09am
Expires:
April 25, 2025 - 4:00pm
Description:
There is an increased risk for rapid fire spread this afternoon
across portions of New Jersey and eastern Pennsylvania. Minimum
relative humidity values will be around 25 to 35 percent combined
with southerly winds of 10 to 15 mph with gusts near 20 mph. High
temperatures will be in the mid 70s to near 80 degrees. These
conditions, along with the continued drying of fine fuels, could
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.
