Powerful wind gusts expected to develop Sunday afternoon and through the evening could make for potentially dangerous fire condition, Storm Team 4 warns.
These winds, combined with the recent dry weather and low humidity levels, raise the risk of rapid fire spread. That danger will continue into Monday as well, Storm Team 4 says.
A red flag warning and wind advisory were issued by the National Weather Service for the majority of Sunday.
The National Weather Service issued a red flag warning Sunday for parts of the tri-state.
The red flag warning means there is a high danger of wind-fanned wildfires that can rapidly spread out of control.
A brush fire popped up in New Jersey Sunday afternoon next to the Garden State Parkway. Both directions of the highway were closed around milepost 89 in Lakewood while crews worked to get it under control.
People should be careful with any outdoor burning and avoid throwing cigarette butts out of car windows, since even a small ember blown onto dry brush can spark a fire.
