Hello to all..

..Fire Weather Conditions have the potential to become critical over
portions of Southern New England Friday as record heat and some level of
winds result in the threat of elevated fire spread..
..A Fire Weather Watch is now in effect from Friday Morning through Friday
Evening for Southern New Hampshire and Franklin, Worcester, Essex, and
Middlesex Counties of Massachusetts. A Fire Weather Watch means that if a
brush or grass fire occurs/ignites, it could spread and become out of
control rapidly..
..This is not a SKYWARN Activation type of event but this message is sent
for public awareness to use caution and not throw cigarette butts out on to
the ground and for public safety awareness with any burning. Another
coordination message will be sent by 830 AM Friday Morning. Below is the
NWS Taunton Fire Weather Watch statement, Hazardous Weather Outlook and SPC
Day-2 Fire Weather Outlook..
