SnoSki14 Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Things are gonna go from bad to worse. Very little if any rain in the forecast for the foreseeable future and now a big torch is very possible after mid month. Warm temps+ very dry weather, add some wind= major risk of fires.

psv88 Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Yuu know weather is boring when we have a thread for fire watches. I mean come on. Very few areas can even potentially be effected. Any fires that spread will be minimal unless in a nature preserve or out of the immediate metro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongBeachSurfFreak Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Remember summer 1995? All of the fires that torched the LI pine barrens? I remember in the summer of 02 we had a brown haze and smell of smoke from fires up in Canada for several days. The pine barren fires are sill visible today (the burn areas are still noticeable) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2112wxgrl Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Locals are saying that Vernon fire is still spreading up a mountain. Barry Lakes is on the other side of this mountain. Earlier this week a wildfire broke out in Butler, NJ and threatened nearby homes. Thankfully, they put that one out quick. I look up from my front yard and I'm looking at where High Point State Park and Stokes State Forest meet. I've been very mindful of the threat of fires in my area. I think it was April 2010 there was a large forest fire nearby, I could smell it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnoSki14 Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Fires are caused by weather and while the dangers are still low, they will get progressively worse if we do not see any appreciable rains in the near future. Every week will get worse without a drop of rain and the fire danger will increase if we do torch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowlover76 Posted April 7, 2012 Author Share Posted April 7, 2012 And tomorrow probably to and possibly Monday Monday will be bad, it looks like it will be breezy and dry. I don't think that next weeks rain will help out that much, if we get more than .25" of rain I will be very surprised, and the torch coming after next week will only worsen the problem. Here is the HPC's 5-day precip map: Pretty pathetic IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
