Why It's Important?
The National Weather Service warns of southwest winds between 15 and 30 mph, with gusts potentially reaching 40 to 50 mph, from noon to 10 PM EDT. Simultaneously, the region faces an elevated fire weather risk due to gusty winds, low relative humidity (30-35%), and a lack of recent rainfall. These conditions are expected to persist throughout Tuesday, increasing the potential for rapid fire spread.
