...Increased Risk of Fire Spread on Wednesday...
There is an increased risk of fire spread Wednesday afternoon.
Relative humidity values are expected to fall to around 35 to 45
percent across much of the area. This will be combined with south
to southwest winds near 10 to 15 mph with gusts up to 20 mph,
temperatures in the upper 70s to around 80 degrees, and abundant
sunshine. These conditions will support the spread of any fires
that ignite, which could quickly become difficult to control.
Outdoor burning is strongly discouraged. Be sure to properly
extinguish or dispose of any potential ignition sources,
including smoking materials such as cigarette butts. Refer to your
state`s forest fire management agency for more information on
burn restrictions in your local area.
Relative humidity values will be lower on Thursday, with stronger
winds. Burn restrictions may still be in place given the very dry
conditions and lack of any recent rainfall.

...Fire Weather Concerns Exist Across Vermont and Northern New
York Tomorrow...
A combination of dry and windy conditions will create fire weather
concerns tomorrow afternoon. Fine fuels remain very dry according
to the Vermont Department of Forests, Parks and Recreation and
the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. Low
relative humidity values of 25-35 percent and gusty southwest
winds of 20-35 mph are also expected. If any fires were to start,
the weather and fuel conditions could cause them to quickly get
out of control and be difficult to contain.
For more information about the current fire danger rating, any burn
restrictions, and wildfire prevention and education, please visit
your state forestry or environmental protection website.

WHERE...Across far southwest Lower Michigan, northwest Ohio and all
of northern Indiana.
WHEN... From Noon EDT to 7 PM EDT today.
IMPACTS...Any fires that ignite may spread rapidly and may become
very difficult to control, especially in areas of grass, brush
and unharvested fields.
PREPAREDNESS AND PRECAUTIONARY ACTIONS...Burning is strongly

...MINOR FLOODING IS POSSIBLE ALONG THE LOWER KUSKOKWIM RIVER
THROUGH TONIGHT...
Strong winds and storm surge along the coast could back up flow
along the lower Kuskokwim River, leading to minor flooding or
erosion from now through tonight.
Flooding is possible along and near the Kuskokwim River, from
Bethel to the mouth of the river. This includes tributaries, low-
lying areas, and nearby Tundra villages such as Napakiak.
Any flooding that occurs along the river is UNLIKELY to be as
severe as it was for the August 17-18, 2024 event. Wind speeds
with this storm will be weaker, and water levels are about 2 feet
lower now than they were in August.
Residents should consider moving items to higher ground as a
precaution, and carefully monitor conditions in flood-prone
areas.

...CONFIDENCE IS INCREASING THAT TWO TROPICAL SYSTEMS WILL
MERGE SOUTH-SOUTHEAST OF GUAM...
...MARIANAS RAIN AND WIND POTENTIAL DEPENDENT ON THE EVENTUAL
TRACK...
Two disturbances, Invests 97W and 98W, are expected to converge
somewhere near or SE of Guam tonight or Wed before slowly becoming
better organized and heading N or NW. While showers and
thunderstorms will cluster near 97W and the eventual 97W-98W
merger, drier conditions are likely to spread in to the Marianas
from the north. By late week, as the merged disturbance becomes
better organized and heads N or NW, the potential for heavy rains
and strong gusty winds will remain highly dependent on the exact
path of the disturbance with a sharp gradient in worsened
conditions aligned near the islands.
WHAT WE KNOW:
The highest likelihood for stronger winds looks to be focused along
the eastern periphery of the merged circulation. Locally heavy
rainfall will also develop near the center, then will gradually
extend south to southwest as the circulation and ensuing southwest
monsoon develops late week
WHAT REMAINS UNANSWERED:
While model guidance continues to point to the eventual merger of the
two disturbances southeast of Guam, they still have not yet converged
on the timing, eventual track north or northwest, rate of
development, or the expanse of impactful winds and rainfall. These
conditions will become better known in the next 24 hours.
A Flood Watch remains in effect through Thursday morning. For more
