Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook 
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1248 PM CST Sat Nov 16 2024

Valid 171200Z - 181200Z

The Elevated fire weather risk area across parts of New England has
been maintained for this update despite recent high-res guidance
suggesting wind speeds will be considerably weaker co*pared to today
(Saturday) during peak heating. The risk area has been spatially
reduced to highlight areas where ensemble guidance shows the best
signal for RH values near 20% (namely portions of far southern NY,
CT, and northern NJ). This region should also see the deepest
boundary-layer mixing and the best potential for occasional gusts up
to 15 mph. Additionally, fuels remain critically dry and should
support some fire weather concern.

...Synopsis...
As the upper-level trough departs the Northeast, shortwave ridging
will build in on Sunday. Across southern New England into the
northern Mid-Atlantic, models indicate the potential for RH in the
20-30% range during the afternoon. Winds will be strongest during
the morning, but this will also be offset from the lowest RH.
Locally elevated to perhaps elevated conditions remain possible,
though such conditions may be very brief. Very dry fuels will
support fire spread where the dry and windy conditions align most
favorably.
