...Increased Risk of Fire Spread Saturday Afternoon...

There is an increased risk for fire spread Saturday afternoon for
central and southern New Jersey and southeastern Pennsylvania.
Minimum relative humidity values will be between 25 and 35
percent with northwest winds will be 15 to 25 mph with 30 to 35
mph gusts. These conditions 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. Refer to your state`s
forest fire management agency for more information on burn
restrictions for your local area.

smoking materials such as cigarette butts. Refer to your state`s
forest fire management agency for more information on burn
