FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR EASTERN NEW YORK...SOUTHERN
VERMONT...WESTERN MASSACHUSETTS AND NORTHWEST CONNECTICUT
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBANY NY
234 AM EDT THU APR 30 2026
DISCUSSION
A WIDESPREAD SOAKING RAINFALL INTO THIS MORNING WILL PROVIDE RELIEF
FROM THE RECENT DRY CONDITIONS, MITIGATING ANY FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS
THROUGH FRIDAY. MINIMUM RH VALUES ON SATURDAY ARE EXPECTED TO BE
AROUND 35-45% WITH WESTERLY WINDS OF 5 TO 15 MPH. MINIMUM RH VALUES
ON SUNDAY LOOK TO BE LOWER BETWEEN 30-40%, WITH NORTHWEST WINDS
POTENTIALLY GUSTING 20-25 MPH. THIS MAY RESULT IN AN ELEVATED RISK
OF FIRE SPREAD ON SUNDAY, DEPENDING ON HOW RESPONSIVE THE FUELS ARE
BY THEN.
