"Waking up to the smell of smoke this morning, [Southern New England]? Numerous wildfires broke out over the weekend with the largest consuming 100+ Acres in Salem, MA," NWS Boston wrote on X.
"Very dry conditions and gusty northwest winds will cause fires to spread quickly should they start," NWS Boston wrote in a Friday alert.
Data from the National Interagency Fire Center shows dozens of recent wildland fire incidents throughout Massachusetts, including the Salem blaze and another in Millbury that claimed a woman's life Saturday night.
A surface inversion is keeping this smoke trapped near the ground, but the smoke should 'mix out' later this morning.
