Boston On Alert for Fire Weather Amid Unseasonably Chilly November, Hopes for Rain Hinge on Tropics

Boston is bracing itself for a stretch of potentially hazardous fire weather conditions amidst an unusually cold November spell. The National Weather Service in Boston/Norton has issued a Red Flag Warning for Southern New England that extends until 6 p.m. EST Wednesday due to low humidity and gusty winds, making any fires that develop likely to spread rapidly, as per

As temperatures struggle to reach the upper 40s,

reports that the cold wave gripping the city is expected to continue through Friday, with lows plunging into the 20s and upper teens in the coldest spots. The usual warmth of the mid-November norm, which hovers around 52 degrees, has been held at bay by a deep freeze that has settled over the region.

The clear, sunny skies forecasted by the

National Weather Service

for the remainder of the week offer no respite from the drought conditions exacerbating the fire danger. Meanwhile, a faint glimmer of rain remaining on the outskirts of probability for Monday seems unlikely to provide the necessary relief.

Attention is also shifting towards the tropics as forecasters eye the development of a new storm system in the Western Caribbean. According to

NBC Boston

, the remnants of this tropical system could merge with an upper-level storm crossing the Plains, potentially offering Boston a chance for significant rainfall, which the region has not seen in months. This development is awaited eagerly as it could signal an end to the prolonged dry spell, but many pieces still need to fall into place before Bostonians can have their hopes met for any soaking rains.
