FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR EASTERN NEW YORK...SOUTHERN
VERMONT...WESTERN MASSACHUSETTS AND NORTHWEST CONNECTICUT
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBANY NY
220 AM EDT THU OCT 8 2026
DISCUSSION
TODAY WILL FEATURE GUSTY WINDS OF 20-30 MPH ACROSS
THE REGION. RH WILL LARGELY REMAIN >40%, ALTHOUGH LOCALIZED FIRE
WEATHER CONCERNS ARE POSSIBLE IN THE MID HUDSON VALLEY AND
WESTERN CT WHERE RH VALUES OF 30-40% ARE POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON.
WHILE IT HAS BEEN DRY ACROSS THE REGION (AND ESPECIALLY SOUTH OF
I-90) OVER THE PAST WEEK, KBDI VALUES HERE REMAIN FAIRLY LOW AND
THERE HAS BEEN LESS LEAF DROP COMPARED TO AREAS FURTHER NORTH AND
IN THE HIGHER TERRAIN. GIVEN THIS AND THE FACT THAT THIS LOOKS
LIKE A FAIRLY LIMITED AREA WITH THE LOWER RH, WE DO NOT THINK AN
SPS IS NEEDED TODAY.
WEST WINDS TOMORROW REMAIN BREEZY WITH GUSTS UP TO 15-20 MPH,
THROUGH THE MORNING, BUT WINDS DIMINISH THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AS
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN. THE MID HUDSON VALLEY COULD SEE RH DROP
TO 35-40%, BUT RH SHOULD REMAIN >40% FOR THE REST OF THE REGION.
LIGHT WINDS AND RH >40% EXPECTED AREA-WIDE SATURDAY, WITH
INCREASING CHANCES FOR RAIN SUNDAY INTO MONDAY.
