Six states are under a “red flag warning” due to hot, dry and unstable conditions. Wildfires in Canada are also affecting the air quality in U.S.
Officials are hopeful they can get the largest wildfire ever recorded in Canada’s Atlantic Coast under control.Tuesday morning due to hot, dry and unstable conditions, the National Weather Service said.
Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Michigan, Washington and Alaska will remain under the warning until 8-10 p.m. local time, the weather service said. In Pennsylvania, lightning strikes may cause fires to start in dry areas. In Washington, dry and unstable air mass with warm temperatures could contribute to a fire.
“Be careful with any activities that could potentially lead to a wildfire,” the weather service warned Michigan residents. “Camping, outdoor grills, smoking materials, chain saws and all terrain vehicles all have the potential to throw a spark and ignite a dangerous and destructive fire.”The weather service issues a “red flag warning” when weather conditions in an area are ripe for the spread of wildfires due to a combination of strong winds, low relative humidity and dry fuels.
“Any fires that develop will likely spread quickly,” the weather service said. “Outdoor burning is not recommended.”
