🔥Many red flag warnings are ongoing across New England and Mid-Atlantic today, as shown in the highlighted areas. Dry vegetation combined with gusty winds between 10-20 mph and low relative humidity will promote the potential for rapid fire spread with any fires that may start. Outdoor burning is not recommended. Consult with local or state fire or forestry officials before burning. Burn bans are in effect in many areas.
