Special Weather Statement National Weather Service Mount Holly NJ 328 AM EDT Wed Apr 30 2025 ...ELEVATED RISK FOR FIRE SPREAD TODAY... There is an elevated risk for fire spread through early this evening across most of New Jersey and Southeastern Pennsylvania. Minimum relative humidity values will drop to 15 and 30 percent. This will be accompanied by northwesterly winds of 10 to 15 mph with gusts up to 25 mph. These conditions, along with the continued drying of fine fuels, could support the rapid spread of any fires that ignite, which could quickly become difficult to control. The winds will diminish later this evening and the relative humidity will also increase. Outdoor burning is strongly discouraged. Be sure to properly extinguish or dispose of any potential ignition sources, including smoking materials such as cigarette butts. This forecast considers meteorological, fuel, and land conditions and has been developed in coordination with state fire officials.
