High Fire Danger in the Hunter today

BY IAN CROUCH and JESSICA ROUSE

There's a High Fire Danger for the Hunter today with temperatures expected to hit the mid to high 20s in some areas while unfavourable winds whip the region as well.

The northwesterly winds are expected to gust up to 50 kilometres per hour and it's prompted the Rural Fire Service to postpone the hazard reduction burns which were scheduled for the Hunter today.

The warm and windy conditions are expected to stick around until Friday.
