Fire Danger Statement
National Weather Service San Juan PR
410 AM AST Wed Feb 12 2025

...ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED ACROSS SOUTHERN
AND WESTERN PUERTO RICO TODAY...

Favorable conditions for fire spread are expected to persist
today across the southern coastal plains, southern hills, and
western Puerto Rico due to dry soils, available fuels, and below-
normal moisture levels. A drier air mass moving through the region
will reinforce these conditions, keeping relative humidity values in
the low to mid-40s. Winds are expected to strengthen, ranging from
20-30 mph, with higher gusts. These stronger winds will further
exacerbate fire danger conditions by enhancing fire spread
potential. Skies will be mostly sunny to partly cloudy, with
temperatures rising into the mid to upper 80s. KBDI values remain
above 550, indicating elevated fire risk. Given the expected
conditions, a Fire Danger Statement has been issued due to the
elevated risk of fire spread.

Fire and emergency officials should be aware that weather
conditions are becoming more conducive for the ignition and
spread of wildfires.

Fire danger statements are issued when fire weather conditions
are approaching, but not meeting or exceeding, Red Flag Warning
criteria.
