[Weather] [2023.05.16 PM] NWS Boston EM Briefing - Red Flag Warning Wednesday

[BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account]

 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!

Meteorologists: Kyle Pederson, Andy Nash, Hayden Frank
