NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBANY NY
247 PM EDT FRI APR 18 2025
DISCUSSION
ISSUED A QUICK SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT FOR THE UPPER/MIDDLE
HUDSON VALLEY AND CATSKILL ZONES SINCE RH VALUES ARE LOWER THAN
PREVIOUSLY FORECAST (25-35%), WHICH WILL COMBINE WITH INCREASING
SOUTHERLY WIND GUSTS OF 20-30 MPH THIS AFTERNOON.
A SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT WAS ISSUED FOR LITCHFIELD COUNTY,
CONNECTICUT DUE TO INPUT FROM CT STATE FIRE WEATHER OFFICIALS
DUE TO LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES AROUND 30 PERCENT AND A FEW
WIND GUSTS 20-30 MPH ESPECIALLY THIS AFTERNOON.
HIGH PRESSURE MOVES OFF THE EAST COAST TODAY. MID AND HIGH
CLOUDS INCREASE AHEAD OF A WARM FRONT DURING THE DAY. A FEW
SHOWERS MAY REACH THE WESTERN AND SOUTHERN ADIRONDACKS BY THE
LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING.
FOR THIS AFTERNOON, MINIMUM RH VALUES SHOULD NOT BE AS LOW AS
THURSDAY WITH 30-40% EXPECTED. SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL BE
INCREASING DURING THE AFTERNOON, WITH GUSTS OF 20-30 MPH
DEVELOPING, BUT THE STRONGEST GUSTS MAY NOT OCCUR UNTIL LATE IN
THE DAY WHEN RH VALUES ARE BEGINNING TO RECOVER. THEREFORE, IT
APPEARS CONDITIONS WILL NOT BE QUITE AS CONDUCIVE FOR FIRE
SPREAD TODAY COMPARED TO YESTERDAY FOR MOST OF EASTERN NY AND
PORTIONS OF WESTERN NEW ENGLAND.
