⚠️ Elevated Risk for the Spread of Wildfires - Monday, Oct. 28

US National Weather Service Philadelphia/Mount Holly and US National Weather Service New York NY have issued a Special Weather Statement for the elevated risk for the spread of wildfires throughout New Jersey today.

❗️SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT:
There continues to be an increased risk of fire spread today. Relative humidity values this afternoon will drop to 20 to 30 percent across much of the area. Winds will remain light from the east to northeast around 5 to 10 mph, turning southeast in the afternoon with temperatures in the low to mid 60s and abundant sunshine. Vegetation remains very dry and could potentially become fuel for fires. These conditions will support the spread of any fires that ignite, which could quickly become difficult to control.

Additionally, Stage 3 Fire Restrictions are in effect statewide.

STAGE 3 FIRE RESTRICTIONS
🚫🔥 All fires will be prohibited unless contained in an elevated stove using only propane, natural gas, gas, or electricity.
🚫🔥 No charcoal fires are allowed.
