Even though most of us had never heard of “red flag warnings” before this month, much of the region is now very familiar with the term — and the danger that can come with them Here's what to look out for Wednesday as NJ's fire danger may stay elevated
Even though most of us had never heard of"red flag warnings" before this month, much of the region is now very familiar with the term — and the danger that can come along with them., more red flag warnings were issued for Tuesday night for Ocean and Monmouth counties along the Jersey Shore, as well as seven other Southern Jersey counties . The warnings come as a result of humidity levels once again having dropped, leaving relatively dry air with warm temperatures and strong winds.
All that together combines for a higher risk for brush fires, which when fueled by the strong winds, can spread quickly. The red flag warnings expired Tuesday night, but that doesn't mean the threat for fires is going away any time soon.Red flag warnings were in effect for Ocean and Monmouth counties Tuesday evening — will the fire danger stick around for the rest of the week?
Conditions will be less breezy Wednesday, but still very dry, so the fire danger may still be elevated in the area along the Shore. A red flag warning could be issued in the morning, depending on conditions. Gusty winds continue from the west, 15-20 MPH at times. Aside from the brush fire threat, it appears to be a quiet day with temperatures near normal in the low to mid 60s. But that will change by the end of the work week.
