A report from the National Weather Service was issued on Friday at 1:11 p.m. for fire danger until Saturday at 6:15 a.m. for Hunterdon, Somerset, Middlesex, Monmouth, Mercer, Salem, Gloucester, Camden, Burlington, Ocean, Cumberland, Atlantic and Cape May counties.
"There is an increased risk for fire spread Saturday afternoon for central and southern New Jersey and southeastern Pennsylvania. Minimum relative humidity values will be between 25 and 35 percent with northwest winds will be 15 to 25 mph with 30 to 35 mph gusts. These conditions could support the rapid 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. Burn restrictions and burn bans are in effect for some areas. Refer to your state's forest fire management agency for more information on burn restrictions for your local area," states the weather service.
