[2023.05.16 PM] NWS Boston EM Briefing - Red Flag Warning Wednesday
by BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account 16 May '23

16 May '23

Good evening, A very dry air mass with gusty north winds up to 30mph tomorrow along with little to no recent precipitation has prompted the re-issuance of a Red Flag Warning for Wednesday May 17th from 8am to 8pm While temperatures on Wednesday will be much cooler than Tuesday, we expect even drier conditions to develop with full sunshine and gusty north winds. For that reason, and in coordination with state forestry officials, the Fire Weather Watch issued yesterday has been upgraded to a Red Flag Warning in effect for all of Southern New England excluding Cape Cod and the Islands. Critical fire conditions are not expected at this time on Thursday as winds are anticipated to be lower compared to Tuesday and Wednesday. However, Min RH will still be around 20% No future updates are planned at this time. Thank You!

by BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account 16 May '23

16 May '23

Good morning, Warm temperatures, gusty southwest winds and very dry conditions will set the stage for fire weather concerns today with the risk for brush fire development. The Fire Weather Watch issued yesterday for expected conditions today has now been replaced with a Red Flag Warning, which is in effect for most of Southern New England until 800 PM today. It is meant to bring awareness to the potential for brush fire development, issued in coordination with state forestry officials. Conditions favoring brush fire development will tend to be the most critical between late this morning to sundown. While temperatures on Wednesday will be much cooler than today, we expect even drier conditions to develop with full sunshine and gusty north winds. For that reason, and in coordination with state forestry officials, the Fire Weather Watch issued yesterday remains in effect for portions of Southern New England on Wednesday. Another update will be sent Wednesday morning to address the brush fire situation/Fire Weather Watch status for Wednesday, or sooner if conditions warrant. Thank You!
