FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR EASTERN NEW YORK...SOUTHERN
VERMONT...WESTERN MASSACHUSETTS AND NORTHWEST CONNECTICUT
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBANY NY
150 AM EDT SUN AUG 16 2026
DISCUSSION
RAIN SHOWERS ARRIVE THIS AFTERNOON AND CONTINUE THROUGH TONIGHT
WITH LIGHT AMOUNTS, MOSTLY 0.25 INCHES OR LESS. ADDITIONAL
ISOLATED TO WIDELY SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE
EXPECTED ON MONDAY WHICH COULD BRING SOME BRIEF DOWNPOURS. DRY
WEATHER RETURNS FOR TUESDAY, THEN A COLD FRONT WILL BRING THE
NEXT BEST CHANCE FOR SOME SHOWERS AND POSSIBLY SOME THUNDERSTORMS
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON INTO THURSDAY. TEMPERATURES OVER THE NEXT
SEVERAL DAYS WILL BE NEAR TO SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL. THESE
ADDITIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR RAINFALL COMBINED WITH LIGHT WINDS
WILL PREVENT ANY FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS.
