Northeast fire threat shows no signs of easing

The threat for fires will continue on Wednesday as northeast winds bring in a very dry airmass from the north. Relative humidity will drop even more compared to Tuesday, with minimum values as low as 20%, the FOX Forecast Center said.  Some good news will be that the winds will not be quite as strong during the afternoon hours, with gusts likely only up to 20-25 mph.
