A bushfire is burning at Seven Mile Beach and moving towards Sandy Point, with the Tasmania Fire Service telling nearby residents to keep a close watch on conditions.
An Advice warning is in place, meaning there is no immediate threat, but conditions are expected to change.
The Tasmania Fire Service says well prepared homes should be defendable in the current conditions.
Anyone with a bushfire plan should check it now.
People who are not well prepared should watch conditions closely and plan to move somewhere safer if things get more dangerous.
Those who decide to leave are advised that staying with family or friends is the best option.
A second fire is also burning at Springhill Bottom Road at Colebrook, where an Advice warning has been issued.
The fire comes as Tasmania sweats through a brief warm spell between two rounds of severe weather.
Hobart was forecast to reach 27 degrees today.
As of midday, Hobart had already reached 25.6 degrees while Campania near Colebrook was sitting on 26.6 degrees.
A high fire danger rating was forecast across King Island, the Furneaux Islands, the north-east, east coast, Midlands, upper Derwent Valley, south-east and western districts.
Tasmania Fire Service deputy chief officer Matt Lowe asked people to hold off on registered burns over the weekend.
“Strong winds and dry conditions mean fires can start easily and spread quickly,” he said.
Lowe said extra crews would be on standby.
“We’ll have dual brigade response for every incident across the state,” he said.
“In the southern region where we’ve particularly got some small areas of extreme or small pockets of extreme fire danger, we’ll have aircraft on standby and a regional operations centre stood up at Cambridge.”
Bureau of Meteorology forecaster Matthew Thomas said the danger came down to a “combination” of “the hot, the dry and the windy conditions”.
Colder air is forecast for Monday, with Hobart dropping to around 14 degrees and snow falling to 400 metres in the south.
Lowe said anyone who sees smoke or flames should call Triple Zero immediately.
