226 AM EDT THU OCT 22 2026
DISCUSSION
NORTHERLY WINDS BECOME BREEZY TODAY GIVEN A TIGHT PRESSURE
GRADIENT OVERHEAD FROM EXITING SUBTROPICAL STORM JOSEPHINE. EXPECT
SUSTAINED WINDS 5-12KTS WITH GUSTS UP TO 20-25KTS (STRONGEST ALONG
AND EAST OF THE HUDSON RIVER). PLENTY OF SUN AND SUFFICIENT
BOUNDARY LAYER MIXING WILL ALSO YIELD LOW MINIMUM RH VALUES THIS
AFTERNOON DROPPING TO 30 TO 45%. THE LOWEST VALUES NEAR 30% WILL
LIKELY BE IN THE MID-HUDSON VALLEY, EASTERN CATSKILLS AND NW CT
WHERE WINDS WILL ALSO BE BREEZY. IF FUELS ARE DRY ENOUGH GIVEN THE
LAST FIVE DAYS WITHOUT ANY RAIN, SUCH CONDITIONS MAY SUPPORT FIRE
SPREAD. LUCKILY, RH VALUES QUICKLY RECOVER TONIGHT RISING BACK TO
90-100%. WHILE DRY CONDITIONS PERSIST TOMORROW, THE STRONGEST
WINDS WITH GUSTS UP TO 15KTS WILL LIKELY BE IN THE MORNING BEFORE
TRENDING WEAKER WHEN WE ACHIEVE THE LOWEST RH VALUES OF 25-35
PERCENT.
