FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR EASTERN NEW YORK...SOUTHERN
VERMONT...WESTERN MASSACHUSETTS AND NORTHWEST CONNECTICUT
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBANY NY
230 AM EDT FRI APR 10 2026
...SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT FOR ELEVATED RISK OF FIRE SPREAD
ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE HUDSON RIVER VALLEY TODAY...
DISCUSSION
SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL INCREASE TO 10 TO 20 MPH LATER
THIS MORNING INTO THE AFTERNOON, WITH SOME GUSTS OF 30 TO
35 MPH POSSIBLE. MINIMUM RH VALUES WILL DROP TO 30 TO 40% THIS
AFTERNOON, LOWEST WITHIN THE HUDSON VALLEY. SPECIAL WEATHER
STATEMENTS HAVE BEEN ISSUED DUE TO THESE NEAR CRITICAL FIRE
WEATHER CONDITIONS EXPECTED TODAY, ESPECIALLY THIS AFTERNOON,
WITHIN THE HUDSON RIVER VALLEY FROM ALBANY SOUTHWARD.
SATURDAY MAY ALSO FEATURE FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS, DEPENDING ON HOW
MUCH RAIN FALLS WITH A COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE TONIGHT. RH
AND WIND VALUES BOTH LOOK TO ONCE AGAIN BE NEAR CRITICAL VALUES.
BASED ON THE CURRENT FORECAST, THE BIGGEST AREA OF CONCERN IN
FROM THE CAPITAL DISTRICT SOUTH AND EAST, WHERE THE LOWEST
RAINFALL AMOUNTS ARE EXPECTED. WIND GUSTS LOOK MUCH LIGHTER
SUNDAY, AND WE GET INTO A WETTER PATTERN EARLY NEXT WEEK, WHICH
SHOULD HELP MITIGATE FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS.
