Out of southern New England, only Block Island, Cape Cod and the Islands don't have to be on alert for rapidly spreading fires Tuesday and Wednesday.
This spring's been drier than normal and hot early in the season, bringing yet another concern for dangerous fire weather.
The National Weather Service has issued a fire weather watch for nearly all of Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut from Tuesday morning through Wednesday evening. Out of southern New England, only Block Island, Cape Cod and the Islands don't have to be on alert for rapidly spreading fires.The most critical conditions each day will be between late morning to sundown, aligning with peak heating of the day and solar radiation.
As the National Weather Service puts it,"The overall intent of a Fire Weather Watch is to alert users at least a day in advance to the potential for widespread new ignitions or control problems with existing fires, both of which could pose a threat to life and property, and for purposes of resource allocation and firefighter safety."If forecast conditions heighten, a red flag warning may be issued.
The National Weather Service's Boston office has a high degree of confidence that dry fuels and weather conditions support extreme fire danger within 24 hours when the following criteria are met:Relative humidity at or below 30% anytime during the dayLightning after an extended dry periodKeetch-Byram Drought Index values of 300 or greater
STILL 🔥🔥ACTIVE! Many fires across Alberta, Canada. We can expect more high level smoke over the next few days. 1 million acres + have now burned.
