...ELEVATED RISK FOR FIRE SPREAD SATURDAY...

There is an increased risk for fire spread on Saturday for New Jersey,

southeastern Pennsylvania, Delaware, and northeastern Maryland.

Minimum relative humidity values will fall to between 25 and 30 percent.

This will be combined with west to northwest winds of 10 to 20 mph

and gusts up to 30 mph. These conditions 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.
