An updated weather alert was issued by the National Weather Service on Sunday at 4 a.m. for fire danger until 7 p.m. for Berkshire County.
“The combination of low relative humidity values between 20 and 30 percent and wind gusts of 30 to 40 mph will create an elevated risk for fire spread. Exercise caution handling any potential ignition sources, including machinery, cigarettes, and matches. Any fires that ignite will have the potential to spread quickly. This forecast considers meteorological, fuel, and land conditions and has been developed in coordination with state fire and land management officials,” states the weather service.
Advance Local Weather Alerts is a service provided by United Robots, which uses machine learning to compile the latest data from the National Weather Service.
