Area: Western Passaic; Eastern Passaic; Hudson; Western Bergen; Eastern Bergen; Western Essex; Eastern Essex; Western Union; Eastern Union
Severity: Moderate
Urgency: Expected
Sender Name: NWS Upton NY
The combination of low relative humidity between 25 and 30 percent, south winds 10 to 15 mph gusting over 20 mph, and drying fuels, will increase the potential for the spread of fires from around midday until around sunset. Conditions may be even more conducive to fire growth and spread Wednesday afternoon and early evening following a cold frontal passage, with relative humidity falling to 25 to 30 percent and west winds gusting to 25 to 30 mph. This will depend on whether any wetting rain occurs with the frontal passage. People should exercise caution handling any potential ignition sources, including machinery, cigarettes, and matches. Any fires that ignite in dry grasses and tree litter will have the potential to spread quickly.
