Red Flag Warning – Increased Fire Danger Today 4/07/2023

The National Weather Service has issued a Red Flag Warning from 12 PM to 8 PM today for all of Massachusetts except the Cape and Islands. Southern New England has received a below normal amount of rain over the last two weeks, leading to relatively dry brush. Gusty winds of 30-40 MPH and low relative humidity of 20-30% are expected to develop today, which will lead to an increased risk of brush fire development in the region.
Low relative humidity is forecast to continue through the weekend, but wind gusts will diminish to 10-15 MPH. Brush fire concerns will remain elevated through the weekend, particularly on Saturday.
