Fire Weather/Coastal Flood Coordination Message #7 – Red Flag Warning Thru 6 PM Saturday Evening/Minor Coastal Flood Potential – Saturday Late AM High Tide

Hello to all…

..Dry conditions and strong wind gusts 25-35 MPH with isolated higher wind gusts will set the stage for continued critical fire weather conditions for Southern New England once again on Friday. A Red Flag Warning is in effect from through 6 PM Saturday for all of Southern New England due to the potential for fire spread if any sort of outdoor brush fire is ignited. Outdoor burning is banned in Southern New England until further notice..
..Elevated fire conditions are expected to continue right through the weekend with little appreciable/measurable rainfall expected during this time period..
..A Coastal Flood Advisory is now in effect from 9 AM to 1 PM Saturday for East Coastal Massachusetts, Cape Cod and the Islands for the late Saturday AM high tide cycle for minor coastal flooding of shore roads at the time of high tide. SKYWARN Self-Activation will monitor for any minor coastal flood reports/pics/videos..
..There is no reporting criteria for fire weather so this message is sent out for public safety purposes, however, Amateur Radio SKYWARN Coordinators will be monitoring reports of brush fires and their spread in the region. Below is the NWS Boston/Norton Red Flag Warning Statement, Coastal Flood Advisory Statement, Enhanced Hazardous Weather Outlook and SPC Day-1 and Day-2 Fire Weather Outlooks..
