...ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS 7 AM TO 7 PM SUNDAY...

The combination of low relative humidity values near 20 percent and
northwest winds gusting 20 to 30 mph in the morning will create an
elevated risk for fire spread across the region on Sunday.

Exercise caution handling any potential ignition sources, including
machinery, cigarettes, and matches. Any fires that ignite will have
the potential to spread quickly.

This forecast considered meteorological, fuel, and land conditions,
and has been developed in coordination with MA, CT, and RI fire and
land management officials.
