...ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER POTENTIAL TODAY...

High temperatures in the mid 50s to near 60 degrees combined with
a very dry air mass will support minimum afternoon relative
humidities of 20 to 25 percent in central and northern Rhode
Island today. Southwest winds will gust to 20 to 25 mph at times.
Incorporating input from the Rhode Island Department of Forestry,
elevated fire weather potential is expected today. Use caution
when handling ignition sources, including but not limited to
matches and cigarettes.
