FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR EASTERN NEW YORK...SOUTHERN
VERMONT...WESTERN MASSACHUSETTS AND NORTHWEST CONNECTICUT
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBANY NY
144 PM EDT TUE APR 7 2026
DISCUSSION
DESPITE BREEZY CONDITIONS (WIND GUSTS 20-35 MPH)
THIS AFTERNOON, RH VALUES SHOULD REMAIN ABOVE 40% FOR MOST OF THE
REGION, WHICH COMBINED WITH THIS MORNING'S RAIN/SNOW SHOULD LIMIT
FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS. THE EXCEPTION IS FOR EASTER ULSTER,
SOUTHERN DUTCHESS, AND SOUTHERN LITCHFIELD COUNTIES WHERE THERE
WAS LITTLE TO NO PRECIP THIS MORNING AND THERE HAS BEEN MORE SUN
TODAY HELPING TEMPERATURES RISE INTO THE UPPER 40S. HERE MINIMUM
RH VALUES THIS AFTERNOON COULD DROP TO 25-35%, SO SOME LOCALIZED
CONCERNS CAN'T BE RULED OUT FOR THESE AREAS. RH VALUES RECOVER TO
70-90% OR HIGHER TONIGHT.
TOMORROW, RH VALUES SHOULD DROP TO 20-30% FOR THE ENTIRE REGION,
AND POSSIBLY AS LOW AS 15-20% IN A FEW AREAS. FORTUNATELY, WINDS
SHOULD REMAIN QUITE LIGHT WITH GUSTS NO HIGHER THAN 5-10 MPH. RH
RECOVERY AGAIN LOOKS GOOD TOMORROW NIGHT. FOR THURSDAY, RH VALUES
WILL NOT BE QUITE AS LOW AS WEDNESDAY BUT STILL DROP TO 25-30% FOR
MOST OF THE REGION. WINDS WILL BE AT 10-15 MPH FROM THE SOUTH WITH
GUSTS OF 20-30 MPH, STRONGEST IN THE HUDSON VALLEY. IF FUELS DRY
OUT ENOUGH FROM TODAY'S RAIN/SNOW, THEN THERE COULD BE AN ELEVATED
RISK OF FIRE SPREAD FOR MUCH OF THE REGION THURSDAY. RH VALUES NOW
LOOK TO REMAIN AT 40-50% FRIDAY WITH LIGHT WINDS AND A FEW
SHOWERS, ESPECIALLY NORTH AND WEST OF THE CAPITAL DISTRICT, WHICH
SHOULD LIMIT ANY FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS.
