Special Weather Statement
Issued: 11:52 PM Oct. 24, 2024 – National Weather Service
...INCREASED RISK OF FIRE SPREAD ON FRIDAY FOR NORTHEAST NEW
JERSEY...

An increased risk of fire spread will continue into Friday.
Low relative humidity of 25 to 35 percent and dry fuels will
support the spread of any fires that ignite, which could 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 the New Jersey
Forest Fire Service web site for information on burn restrictions.

The risk of fire spread on Saturday should be even greater, with
similar relative humidity and northwest winds gusting to 20 to 30
mph.
