FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR EASTERN NEW YORK...SOUTHERN
VERMONT...WESTERN MASSACHUSETTS AND NORTHWEST CONNECTICUT
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBANY NY
310 AM EDT FRI MAR 20 2026
DISCUSSION
TWO CLIPPER SYSTEMS WILL BRING PERIODS OF RAIN, SNOW, AND A MIX
THEREOF THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK AND INTO THE BEGINNING OF
NEXT. THIS WILL ULTIMATELY MAINTAIN AND ENHANCE MOISTURE WITHIN
FINE FUELS ACROSS OUR FORECAST AREA. LOOKING AHEAD TO NEXT WEEK,
AS IS TYPICAL MARCH FASHION, PERIODS OF DRY WEATHER WILL BE
CLOSELY FOLLOWED BY ADDITIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR PRECIPITATION.
WINDS ALSO GENERALLY LOOK TO REMAIN WELL UNDER CRITERIA FOR FIRE
SPREAD CONCERN. FOR THESE REASONS, THERE ARE NO FIRE SPREAD
CONCERNS OVER THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS.
