FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR EASTERN NEW YORK...SOUTHERN
VERMONT...WESTERN MASSACHUSETTS AND NORTHWEST CONNECTICUT
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBANY NY
219 AM EDT SUN APR 26 2026
DISCUSSION
STEADY LIGHT RAINFALL, CURRENTLY ONGOING FOR AREAS SOUTH OF THE
MOHAWK VALLEY AND I-90, WILL BE EXITING THE REGION FROM WEST TO
THE EAST EARLY THIS MORNING. ALL AREAS SHOULD BE DONE WITH
PRECIPITATION AROUND DAYBREAK, ALTHOUGH SOME LOW CLOUDS AND FOG
MAY LINGER INTO PART OF THE MORNING HOURS. A LIGHT NORTHERLY
FLOW SHOULD ALLOW FOR GRADUALLY MORE DRIER AIR TO WORK ITS WAY
INTO THE REGION FOR LATER TODAY, ALTHOUGH NOTICEABLY MORE DRIER
AIR WON'T ARRIVE UNTIL MONDAY.
HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE OVERHEAD FOR MONDAY, ALLOWING FOR PLENTY
OF SUBSIDENCE. WITH FULL SUNSHINE EXPECTED, IT WILL BE MUCH
DRIER, WITH RH VALUES AS LOW AS 25 TO 30 PERCENT ON MONDAY
AFTERNOON. MIXING WILL BE LIMITED DUE TO THE HIGH PRESSURE IN
PLACE, SO WINDS WILL BE FAIRLY LIGHT. STILL, WITH PLENTY OF
SUNSHINE EXPECTED, HAVE GONE WITH TEMPS SLIGHTLY ABOVE THE NBM
FOR MONDAY, WITH HIGHS IN VALLEY AREAS WELL INTO THE 60S TO NEAR
70.
UPPER RIDGE AXIS WILL STILL BE OVERHEAD ON TUESDAY MORNING, BUT
IT WILL BE SHIFTING EASTWARD BY LATER IN THE DAY AS THE NEXT
SYSTEM STARTS TO APPROACH. WITH AN INCREASING PRESSURE GRADIENT
DEVELOPING, SOUTHEAST WINDS WILL BE STRONGER ON TUESDAY, WITH
SOME GUSTS REACHING 20-25 MPH DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS.
ALTHOUGH THERE WILL BE MORE CLOUDS AROUND, RH VALUES WILL STILL
BE AS LOW AS 30 PERCENT DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS. DAYTIME
TEMPS WILL STILL BE RATHER MILD, WITH VALUES WELL INTO THE 60S
ONCE AGAIN.
WITH THE RETURN OF DRIER AIR, FINE FUELS WILL LIKELY BE DRYING
OUT RATHER QUICKLY EARLY NEXT WEEK DURING DAYTIME MIXING WITH
THE ABUNDANT SUNSHINE. ALTHOUGH THESE RH VALUES ARE FAIRLY
SEASONABLE CONSIDERING IT IS STILL TECHNICALLY PRE-GREENUP, WE
WILL NEED TO COORDINATE WITH STATE FIRE WEATHER PARTNERS TO GET
AN UPDATE ON FUEL STATUS. FINE FUELS HAVE A TENDENCY TO DRY OUT
VERY QUICKLY, SO DESPITE RECENT RAINFALL (UP TO AN INCH ACROSS
SOUTHERN AREAS THIS WEEKEND), FUELS COULD POTENTIALLY BE READY
TO GO. WHILE WINDS WILL BE FAIRLY LIGHT ON MONDAY, THEY WILL BE
SOMEWHAT BREEZY ON TUESDAY DUE TO THE INCREASING GRADIENT. FIRE
WEATHER PARTNERS MAY BE OPEN TO SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENTS EARLY
NEXT WEEK, ALTHOUGH CURRENT WIND GUST FORECASTS WOULD SUGGEST
THAT WIDESPREAD RED FLAG CONDITIONS PROBABLY WON'T BE REACHED.
BASED ON THE LATEST LOCAL FIRE WEATHER OPERATING PLAN, THE
COMBINATION OF EASILY DRIED OUT FINE FUELS AND SEASONABLY LOW RH
VALUES WITHIN DAYTIME MIXING ON SUNNY DAYS WILL LIKELY REQUIRE
FIRE WEATHER COORDINATION FOR SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENTS AND/OR
RED FLAG WARNINGS UNTIL GREENUP OCCURS.
