Boston, MA – Massachusetts is facing elevated fire weather concerns for Wednesday as dry conditions and gusty winds increase the wildfire risk across much of the state.
According to the National Weather Service, relative humidity levels are expected to drop to between 35% and 55%, combined with above-normal temperatures. Southwest winds will blow at 15 mph, with gusts reaching 30 mph. The recent lack of rainfall has dried vegetation, further enhancing the potential for wildfire spread.
The National Weather Service urges residents to be cautious with ignition sources, such as matches and campfires, and to check for local burn restrictions. These conditions create a favorable environment for wildfires to spread quickly. Those in affected areas should stay informed of any additional advisories and take steps to prevent accidental fires.
