Northeast Rain Chances Squash Fire Concerns

Dry conditions across the lower 48 have paved the way for multiple wildfires in the last few months. The Northeast, now getting in on the action. With dry fuels and gusty winds in the forecast for Tuesday, Red Flag Warnings have been issued for New York State.

While fire conditions will likely stretch into tonight, a good push of some moisture throughout the next few days will likely offset any fire concerns going forward.

By Saturday, almost all of the Northeast and Ohio Valley is expected to see rain in some form or fashion. Higher totals could potentially up to 2" across Kentucky, Virginia, and even the New England area!
