ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER THE REST OF THIS WEEKEND
Special Weather Statement issued September 19 at 3:46PM EDT by NWS Boston/Norton MA

Consult your local fire warden if planning any outdoor burning this weekend.

.DISCUSSION...
Cool and dry weather continues today and Monday with minimum
afternoon relative humidity values dropping to between 25 and 35
percent in many locations. Winds will be a bit gusty from the NE
along the coast.
OUTLOOK... Tuesday through Saturday...
Hurricane Teddy will pass nearly 400 miles east of our coastline on
Tuesday as it heads north into the Canadian Maritimes. While we will
remain dry it will bring a period of windy conditions along the
coast, especially the Cape and Nantucket. Otherwise, the prolonged
period of dry weather continues right through the upcoming week.
Temperatures will moderate to above normal levels by Wednesday and
that will continue for the rest of the week.
