The National Weather Service issued a red flag warning in Delaware and surrounding states amid an ongoing drought. When it will rain again?

Although the Red Flag Warning was issued for only Friday, the threat of wildfires across the region will persist until the pattern switches back to wet. As of now, a pattern change does not look likely in the short term.

New York and New Jersey are certainly not known for being wildfire hotspots, but with an extended dry pattern that has settled upon this region, the threat of wildfires has become a very real concern.
