DISCUSSION
THE MID HUDSON VALLEY AND POSSIBLY WESTERN CT WILL AGAIN SEE
RH VALUES DROP TO AROUND 30% THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON. FORTUNATELY,
WINDS HERE WILL NOT BE QUITE AS STRONG AS ACROSS MUCH OF THE REST
OF THE REGION, TOPPING OUT AT AROUND 20-25 MPH. FOR THE REST OF
THE REGION, WIND GUSTS OF UP TO 25-30 MPH WILL OCCUR, BUT MINIMUM
RH VALUES GENERALLY REMAIN NEAR OR ABOVE 40%. GOOD RH RECOVERY
WITH DEW OR FROST FORMATION EXPECTED TONIGHT.
SATURDAY, RH VALUES IN THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS LIKELY DROP TO
30-40%, ALTHOUGH VALLEY AREAS GENERALLY REMAIN NEAR OR ABOVE 40%
AGAIN. WINDS REGION-WIDE WILL BE MUCH LIGHTER WITH HIGH PRESSURE
OVERHEAD. WIDESPREAD SOAKING RAIN THEN EXPECTED SUNDAY INTO SUNDAY
NIGHT, WITH 0.50 TO 1.00 INCHES AREA WIDE (HIGHEST AMOUNTS SOUTH
AND WEST OF ALBANY). THIS RAIN SHOULD HELP PREVENT ANY ADDITIONAL
FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK.
