FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR EASTERN NEW YORK...SOUTHERN
VERMONT...WESTERN MASSACHUSETTS AND NORTHWEST CONNECTICUT
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBANY NY
251 AM EDT THU APR 23 2026
DISCUSSION
THERE WILL BE AN ELEVATED RISK OF FIRE SPREAD TODAY,
PARTICULARLY ACROSS THE UPPER HUDSON VALLEY AND LOWER ELEVATIONS
OF SOUTHERN VERMONT WHERE A SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT REMAINS
IN EFFECT. THIS IS DUE TO A COMBINATION OF LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY
AND GUSTY WINDS. RH VALUES ARE EXPECTED TO DROP INTO THE 20-30%
RANGE THIS AFTERNOON ALONG WITH NORTHWEST WINDS GUSTING TO
20-25 MPH AS DEEPER MIXING DEVELOPS IN AN INCREASINGLY DRY
ENVIRONMENT. FUELS ARE MOST RECEPTIVE IN AREAS WHERE THE SPECIAL
WEATHER STATEMENT IS IN EFFECT VIA COORDINATION WITH STATE
OFFICIALS. LOCALIZED FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS ARE POSSIBLE ACROSS
OTHER VALLEY AREAS AS WELL.
DRY CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST ON FRIDAY, WITH MINIMUM RH VALUES
EXPECTED TO BE IN THE 20-30% RANGE ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA.
HOWEVER, WINDS WILL BE LIGHTER WITH ONLY OCCASIONAL GUSTS OF
10-15 MPH. SO THERE ARE LESSER CONCERNS FOR FIRE SPREAD FRIDAY.
