The National Weather Service issued a report at 9:38 p.m. on Tuesday for fire danger until Wednesday at 6 p.m. for Manhattan, the Bronx, Staten Island, Brooklyn and Queens as well as Orange, Putnam, Rockland, Westchester, Suffolk and Nassau counties.
“Dry conditions with the combination of low relative humidity values between 20 and 30 percent along with frequent wind gusts of 20 to 25 mph will create another day of elevated risk for fire spread. 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 considers meteorological, fuel, and land conditions and has been developed in coordination with state fire and land management officials,” states the weather service.
