FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR EASTERN NEW YORK...SOUTHERN
VERMONT...WESTERN MASSACHUSETTS AND NORTHWEST CONNECTICUT
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBANY NY
210 PM EDT SUN MAY 3 2026
DISCUSSION
DESPITE MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES THROUGH EARLY THIS AFTERNOON,
GUSTY WEST TO NORTHWEST WINDS CONTINUE ACROSS THE REGION,
REACHING 25-30 MPH AT TIMES. RH VALUES HAVE ALREADY DROPPED
TO 30-40 PERCENT, AND AS MORE BREAKS IN THE CLOUDS DEVELOP BY
LATE AFTERNOON AND TEMPS WARM SLIGHTLY, EVEN LOWER RH VALUES
ARE EXPECTED WITHIN PORTIONS OF THE HUDSON RIVER VALLEY,
TACONICS AND EASTERN CATSKILLS. AN SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT
REMAINS FOR THESE AREAS THROUGH 7 PM DUE TO ELEVATED RISK FOR
FIRE SPREAD. SOME WIND GUSTS COULD REACH UP TO 35 MPH BY
LATE AFTERNOON BEFORE DIMINISHING AROUND SUNSET.
A WARM FRONT WILL CROSS THE REGION LATE TONIGHT INTO MONDAY
MORNING. IN THE WAKE OF THIS FRONT, GUSTY SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL
DEVELOP REACHING 25-35 MPH LATE MONDAY MORNING INTO THE
AFTERNOON. TEMPS SHOULD WARM INTO THE MID/UPPER 60S IN VALLEY
AREAS, ESPECIALLY FROM ALBANY SOUTH AND EAST. THIS WILL ALLOW RH
VALUES TO DROP INTO THE 30-35 PERCENT RANGE IN THESE AREAS, AND
GENERALLY 35-45% FARTHER NORTH AND WEST. ADDITIONAL SPS'S WILL
BE ISSUED LATER TODAY FOR AREAS FROM ALBANY SOUTH AND EAST
ACROSS THE MID HUDSON VALLEY, EASTERN CATSKILLS,
CENTRAL/SOUTHERN TACONICS AND FOR BERKSHIRE COUNTY IN MA AND
LITCHFIELD COUNTY IN CT FOR MONDAY AFTERNOON.
ANOTHER WARM AND BREEZY DAY IS EXPECTED TUESDAY, WITH HIGH TEMPS
REACHING 75-80 IN MANY VALLEY AREAS. SOME WIND GUSTS OF 30-40
MPH WILL BE POSSIBLE. HOWEVER, RH VALUES SHOULD BE A BIT HIGHER
COMPARED TO THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS, WITH MIN RH GENERALLY
35-50%, LOWEST WITHIN THE HUDSON RIVER VALLEY. WILL WATCH
CLOSELY IN CASE ADDITIONAL SPS'S ARE NEEDED FOR TUESDAY.
